Thank you!

Thank you Thatman84. I found the emulators folder and opened Retroarch directly. From the right side menu, I entered Settings and then input. I dont see a port 1. Perhaps I'm in the wrong spot?

Nintendo DS alone is a whopper! Syncing just over 20k media items to HQ now. your efforts are appreciated Circo

Probably worth opening retroarch directly from the emulators folder and see if the ipac is recognised in the input-port1 settings and mapping those how you would like as a default 1st.

Ok, I guess I still need some help, I'm trying to map my IPAC-4 for the Atari 2600 using retroarch with core stella. When I'm in the game, I press F1 and go into Controls and then Port 1. I want to remap the fire key from Key z to Key Lft Ctrl. When i click on it, it doesn't give me an option to change it. It seems like there is a Device type issue that may not be seeing my IPAC-4?

1st post updated as well https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EcqVGf_1IvjDRxOs46wBVJFOF4t201q5/view?usp=sharing

these are it... no demos or protos sorry... will update soon with link. Also the ones with part a and b are gone... just 1 logo now as advised on discord

Reset HS2.zip Here is a small utility that will clean up the databases and everything after an uninstall.

I found it, To Change the controls for the retroarch core, F1 Key, then sellect cores. Maybe this retroarch thing isn't so bad afterall.

My last hypespin stayed away from Retroarch. For this setup, I'm going to try and use it as it is the defaulf for the HQ builds and seems to start all the games with artwork right out of the box. My issue is I'm using the iPAC 4 controller with a 4 player setup and nothing is mapped correctly. If I lauch a game in Atari 2600, how can I remap the keys?

It's that download link right up top there on the sites menu. The getting started part of the docs should also be helpful: https://docs.hyperai.io/docs/hyperhq/getting-started The old download section does not have any hyperspin 2 stuff in it.

https://hyperai.s3.amazonaws.com/HyperHQ_Latest.exe You should grab the latest MAME version and ROM set

Also, sorry for what may be a dumb question… where is the download link for HS2 beta? I only see 1.5 in the downloads section.

Awesome! Thank you. The few HS2 videos I watched did seem to offer an easier setup than what I gather HS1 entailed. Think it’s worth downloading the latest MAME library vs using all my old files I copied over from the last machine? I image there’s been many updates to some of the games…

You seem to be perfect to try the beta as long as you realise it is still early and I'm sure HS 2 is very functional if you just want a few systems to start with. It's also good for you to start learning from scratch. Most other systems will use Retro arch which I recommend you look at some setup videos on. HS2 will guide you and is much easier to set up than HS1.

Hello all! I am a brand new member here and somewhat new to the retro gaming/emulation world. I am BLOWN away by the collective brain power behind HyperSpin and information on this forum as I muddle my way through a steep learning curve! So thank you to all the developers and members in advance! I am hoping for some direction and help with a build I am working on... I bought my 9 year old son a retro standup 2-player gaming arcade for Christmas on FB Marketplace (which I didn't know would also come with a new project for me. Wife is thrilled). The gentleman I bought it from did an EXCEPTIONAL job building the machine probably ~10-15 years ago. A mini HP PC (Windows 10) is running Hyperspin 1.5.1 with large MAME library and iPAC 2 (older legacy PS/2 version) for the two joystick and 7 button layouts (plus 1 player/2 player, $.25 buttons, side volume buttons, side paddle buttons) and trackball. It's got a built in fan, 5 channel speaker setup, 4:3 monitor. He even soldered in a 3.5MM jack connection on the front of the PC to the board for an on/off arcade button on the back of the cabinet. The problem is (and he warned me), the computer is old and often crashes or get's stuck loading games and is slow to load up, etc. He recommended replacing it, but did mention it's not easy... Well I am always up for a project (wife rolls eyes) so I did some homework online and ordered a Beelink SER5 Max and a second 1TB SSD (1.5TB total). Figured I could transfer all the files and programs exactly from the old machine with the drives named the same, etc and it should work right? Well... sort of. I got Hyperspin to work, all the systems and games to work, but can't get the keyboard buttons to map and can't get any of the arcade controls to work (I realized my old IPAC PS/2 likely wouldn't work well with Windows 11, so I have ordered a new version of the Ipac 2 which will come in a few days). After messing with it for several hours yesterday I had what I think is an epiphany... Why am I trying to replicate a 10+ year old build? I really wanted to keep HyperSpin (vs Batocera, etc) and figured it would be simple and easy to transfer, but with the issues I've run into, I have decided I'd rather start fresh with HyperSpin 2.0 and the latest MAME library. I watched a couple YouTube videos on 2.0 and it looks really impressive! So... I am here hoping for direction on any helpful existing posts or tutorials on HyperSpin 2.0 (Is it even available for the public? I donated $50 not sure if that matters for access), and integrating the latest MAME library. Sorry for the NOOB post! I am NOT a savvy computer programmer but am willing to put the effort in to learn and figure this out! Any help GREATLY appreciated. IMG_3541.HEIC

I have only one Patform (RetroArch) intalled for testing purposes. This is how my installation path looks like:
