Hyperspin Favorites wheel exiting issues
« on: July 12, 2015, 02:02:26 am »
Hey guys, I am having a slight issue with my Hyperspin favorites wheel.   When using a multi wheel setup, I go into a sub wheel , say "MAME" for instance, then I go into its favorites sub wheel, when I exit out of the favorites sub of "MAME" it takes me back to the MAIN system wheel instead of the "MAME" wheel i was just in.  I know there is a way to back out of the favorites wheel and go directly back to the sub wheel I was just in, ( I have watched a few videos on line that accomplish this )  however my setup just takes me back the the main system wheel and skips the sub wheel all together. 

Now when I am using a single wheel setup I cannot exit favorites back to the sub wheel ( as per above ) but now that this is a single wheel setup, when i exit out of favorites Hyperspin asks me if I want to exit Hyperspin all together. 

So in both instances the only way I have found to get back to the sub wheel is to hit the "genre" key and select all games ( from the favorites menu ) which will then take you back to the sub wheel you were just in. 

It seems to me that there is a setting somewhere in my setup that is telling it to skip the sub wheel all together from the favorites and go directly back to the main menu or exit the system.  I have looked everywhere but cant seem to find anything.

I hope all you Hyperspin experts can follow this as it makes sense to me in my head..)  I am wondering if there is a ini file i am missing or a setting somewhere but there doesn't seem to be to many settings for this.

Thanks..

I just checked my setup and it works the same. Favorites works like a genre of games not like a wheel so hitting exit from favorites is like asking to leave the main wheel or in your case of a single wheel set up, hyperspin itself. To exit favorites you need to select all games or another genre.

Hope this helps.

n3wt0n, Yes this helps a lot.  I was wrong as well as  far as the video I mentioned watching that goes back to the sub wheel from favorites, after reading your reply I went back and watched the video carefully and it works the same way mine ( and yours) works.  - Like a genre of games.  too bad.  I don't understand why each sub wheel cant have the favorites list exit back to that sub wheel.. oh well..

In addition, I was reading on the hyperspin forum about creating a specific Favorites wheel which sits on the main wheel of emulators and it can have favorite games from all the different wheels ( emulators ) on your system.  I guess I will need to learn how to do that.  it seems like it is a little more involved to get that up and working.  Thanks.
