Changing Settings

You can make many adjustments to HyperSpin to suit your needs by editing settings files that are located in the settings folder.

You can adjust your settings manually with Notepad or use HyperHQ to make changes from a graphical interface.

Your main settings file is called Settings.ini. You can find this file in the Settings folder.

Settings

-Settings.ini

Open Settings.ini with Notepad and let's make our first change.  HyperSpin can run in windowed mode or in fullscreen mode.  By default HyperSpin runs in a window but we can make it run in fullscreen by changing one setting.

Sections are defined by text between brackets.  Find a section called [Resolution] and find the key below it called "Fullscreen".

[Resolution]
Fullscreen = false

Simply change false to true and save the file. Now the next time you start HyperSpin it will be in fullscreen mode.  All changes are that simple.

The basic layout of HyperSpin consists of a Main Menu that can launch multiple Sub-Menus.  HyperSpin is primarily an emulator launcher so the Main Menu comes with a default setup of several gaming systems.  If you do not want this type of setup and only want to run one system then HyperSpin has that ability.  Let's setup HyperSpin to only run the MAME emulator. This means that when you start HyperSpin there will be no Main Menu and you will launch directly into the MAME Sub Wheel only. 

Change your menu mode from "multi" to "single".   When in single mode you can set the the system you want to launch into by setting the single mode name.  In this case it's MAME.

[Main]

Menu_Mode = single
Single_Mode_Name = MAME

You can also change any available setting in HyperSpin with HyperSpin's backend which is called HyperHQ.  This is a gui interface for all of your settings files.  The picture below shows an example of a tab in HQ. Detaile instructions on changing all settings are located in the Settings Menu.
