**** IV - hyperXMLspin : Tips ****
**************************************************************
1/ For found games that have same name , HyperXMLspin add a space to distinguish them from others , actually this tip is just working with HyperLaunch
For RocketLauncher , edit HyperSpin/settings/settings.ini file then modify "Hyperlaunch_Path" with HyperXMLspin full path
( ex: Hyperlaunch_Path= F:\HyperSpin\HyperXMLspin.exe ) , don't forget to save modifications.
2/ To make an HDD backup with symlinks created by HyperXMLspin , use an NTFS HDD
Then use cmd or PowerShell with administrator rights , and use this command line : xcopy /e /b /i /h Path_In Path_out
( ex: xcopy /e /b /i /h C:\HYPERSPIN f:\HyperSpin-backup )
**************************************************************
**** V - hyperXMLspin : functioning : ****
**************************************************************
******HyperXMLspin functioning (QuickSearch) :********
Enter or select at least on search term , then validate.("Tools" button must not be activated)
*******HyperXMLspin functioning (MultiSearch) :*******
Enter or select at least on search term , select "tools" then :
--> Use the "show" function for an immediate search.(Results can be saved if HyperXMLspin have been setup as a full installation : Chapter II)
--> Use the "create" function to save your search results in an hyperspin "genre" or "main" wheel.
--> Use the "Add" function to add the search results to an existing list.
The last three functions are usable without search criteria:
--> Use the "delete" function to delete an entire list and media..(Use HyperHQ to delete an entire "main" Wheel)
--> Use the "edit" function to sort games by genre, year , etc ... or to delete them.
--> Use the "Export" fonction to export an hyperXMLspin "genre list as an other "Main or "Genre" list.(only available if HyperXMLspin have been setup as a full installation : Chapter II)
Once list have been edited , click "OK".
Tip : for multiple search for multiple games separate each keyword/letter with a comma.
**************************************************************
**** Sharing HyperXMLspin lists functioning ****
**************************************************************
You can share any hyperXMLspin list you want with HyperSpin community , but their compatibility between each users will not be all the time at 100 % :
Games from lists are compatible only with lists with same game name and same system name.
But you can increase compatibility with function "Update medias" on manual mode.
Example with list ABestOfAll created by ninja2bceen (inside package Databases\ABestOfAll) :
************Installation inside Hyperspin***************
1 / Launch HyperHQ.exe (On tab menu "main menu wizard") add new item with the name of the list , for this example : "ABestOfAll"
2 / To the question : "Does this menu item have a sub-wheel" select "yes".
3 / Select item position inside your system wheel list. (Anywhere you want)
4 / Go to tab menu "wheel settings" , select "HyperXMLspin" wheel then tab menu "emulator"
5 / On field "Executable" : Select HyperXMLspin.exe file previously downloaded and extracted.
6 / On field "Execution" : Normal , "PC game" : Disabled , "Use Full Path To Roms" : Disabled , "Search Subfolders" : Disabled
7 / Leave empty fields : "Rom Path" , "Params" , "Extensions - WinState : Hidden"
8 / Select menu tab "navigation/themes" then checkbox "use xml indexes","Themes only","clones use parent videos","clones use parent themes" then close HyperHQ.
Option "Themes Only" allow to hyperspin to not show games not compatible from the shared list.(Do not check this option if you not have at least 1 default theme per system)
Open & Check in ini file parameters : "userompath=false" & "searchsubfolders=false". ("HyperSpin\Setting\HyperXMLspin.ini" for this example)
9 / Copy xml list ("ABestOfAll.xml" inside package Databases\ABestOfAll) inside hyperspin databasest ("/Hyperspin/databases/ABestOfAll/ABestOfAll.xml" for this example)
****************Setup HyperXMLspin**********************
10 / Launch HyperXMLspin.exe then go to parameters.
11 / On menu tab <Update> click "Check medias" then select updating mode :
Auto mode checked : all fully compatible medias will be automaticly copyed if found.
Auto mode unchecked: you will have to choose each systems & games not found automaticly with systems or games you have.
12 / Select list to update ("ABestOfAll" for this example) then click "update". (hyperxmlspin main lists have "***" at begining and ending of their name)
So now, media directory of this list contain all artworks and videos you already have. (your Video et artworks files have not been modified or deleted but just copyed or "symlinked")
ABestOfAll.xml file created by ninja2bceen contain 245 games.
With my configuration , after an auto scan i got 130 fully compatible , then after a manual scan i got 63 more...total : 193/245
results depend from each HyperSpin database users, and so may be different from others users.
As a normal list , each shared lists can be edited in hyperxmlspin to add , delete or sort as you prefer each games.

Hey guys,
This HyperSpeech release has been on the shelve for a few months but I took some extra time to test and fine tune the HyperSpeech.dat file.
NB: All files have changed, so please backup your old HyperSpeech configs and tweak the new ones to you likings.
Also I included my MAME database folder with the subgenre databases for use with the genre/subgenre function in HyperSpeech
You can use it fot testing purposes to better understand what the subgenre stuff does and then create you own databases,
or you can just use these...
Cheers!
BóÒgieman
Changelog 1.1.1:
- Fixed the issues with reading the genre key setting from the Hyperspin
Settings.ini, which crashed Hyperspeech when set to certain keys.
- Minor bug fixes and code optimization.
- HyperSpeechProxy now transmits event code 8, which is used by
HyperSpeech for better event detection and switching back from genres.
- Optimized HyperSpeech.dat for MAME and created an entry to skip the
text "This xxxxx game was published xx years ago:" that they now put
into the History.dat file when you download it. This annoyes me a lot
so I ripped it out of the Bio's. If you want that stuff spoken, then
comment the regex string out in the HyperSpeech.dat file. It's located
on the last line of the file...

HyperSpeech 1.1.0
Hey guys, I released a new version of HyperSpeech.
Changelog 1.1.0:
- Added SystemMute. When selecting a muted system from the main menu, speech is muted untill you return to the main menu.
To enable this you need to create an extra section [MutedSystems] in the HyperSpeech.ini file and place all the systems inthis section that need to be muted.
Optional you can download my HyperSpeech MAME 0.210 database folder.7z file if you like to use the Sub-genre function (vertical/horizontal) for MAME.
These databases do not contain clones, mechanical etc.
Regards,
Boogieman

VIDEO 'How To' quick guide
------------------------------------------------------------------------
mamefan's video (setup)
mamefan says "I forgot to say that you need to SAVE your configuration in Hyper Marquee before you exit. If you have any issues with Pipe (CLI) in EDS, try Pipe or CLI with CBR checked instead. I also forgot to say during the video that you can also display marquee art for other systems/consoles. If I had gone to NES games, for example, you would have seen NES game wheel art on my marquee as I scrolled through games. Whatever image you want to display will display, as long as you set it up correctly."

(Left screen represents HyperSpin with text overlay from HyperMarquee (see 1&2 player + game rating) and right side a custom Marquee setup.)
(using DotMatrixDisplay Shader and Outlined Font & Images leveraging on GameInfo & HyperList fields wild cards)
Very nice Artwork from mmg1Design exploiting HyperMarquee possibilities
(using font: Triple Dot Digital-7) - applying glow effect and under font from HyperMarquee internal features.
Some editor capability features;
Using both outlined and font text brush. Plus background image using blur shader and Text using Telescopic Blur effect. Not bad isn't?
Improved Graphical User Interface using brush user friendly tool. Shader and brush can be applied to all text, image and video!
High score can disappear after a certain amount of time of your choice to leave marquee artwork alone... (like any other windows)
-----------------------------------------
Future Development...
-----------------------------------------
- Control Panel Viewer capability within Hyper Marquee is under development right now.
- Screen capture to replicate game playing on marquee
- HM/EDS: Providing real-time download for missing artworks, Hyperlist & GameInfo when selecting a game. (optional feature under consideration)
- Providing 3D support to display cartridges, cabinets and more should be considered next year.
- EDS: Providing utilization statistics (graphs and charts) should be considered next year.
- Add HM display container to avoid launching one .exe per display type.

To give Hyperspinners more flexibility, here is Event Dispatcher System (EDS) that allows HS to launch as many external applications on HS events that you like. This should be beneficial for the community where basically, this is a tool to extend Hyperspin possibilities and let users manage multiple applications on HS events.
EDS NEWS UPDATE - 2016/12/30 - EDS (Beta Release version 0.8.1) is now ready for download. ** Need advanced testers / testing **
********************************
DOWNLOAD: https://1drv.ms/f/s!Agk4mB5EbfOGhnPPoot0ymchQwqG
********************************
Bug reported by Scoodidabop for system & rom parameters when it have embedded space(s). EDS was not working properly in this situation within 0.8.0 . Problem now fixed.
Setup:
Please do a backup of your previous EDS files. Provide edit rights to your new EDS folder. Rename "EDS_LaunchModule (Rename me!).exe" to "LedBlinky.exe" Configuration Process:- Pipe does not launch [application].exe anymore, only CLI and Pipe (CLI) mode does. To continue using pipes within Hyper Marquee (recommended option) simply check "Launch Application on Front-End start" checkbox within EDS GUI configuration module, put '1' in the Open filter and '2' in the Close filter EDS NEWS UPDATE - 2016/12/26 - EDS (Beta Release version 0.8.0) is now ready for download. ** Need advanced testers / testing **
What's New; (a short video for 'dummies' should come soon!!)
EDS has change his business logic (major change approach). EDS is now persistently open (look in tray) during your gaming Front End session. This will prevent EDS to open and close (load/save & reload itself) at each HyperSpin/EDS event. It should also prevent EDS settings file to get corrupted sometimes. It should be faster to respond, but taking a little more memory and CPU during gaming (less than 1% more). Add Key Commander embedded application to launch & close applications on dedicated key stroke. Useful to custom/ad-hoc speech, High Score and control panel display! Add a check box to decide if the mouse pointer will be sent to screen Top Left corner at EDS start up or not. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation & Instructions (quick one from Sevenseal)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NB: key requirement; install .Net framework 4.5.1 or higher
1. Make sure that system users have read, write & execute access of the EDS folder and the content (Windows setup 10 behavior). (right click on folder go to properties/security)
1.1.: Within your EDS folder, rename "EDS_LaunchModule (Remane me!).exe" application to "Ledblinky.exe" (mostly for HS users)
1.2.: Configure and enable EDS within your favorite Front End. Within HyperHQ.exe goto the "Tools" tabs, set the path for EventDispatchSystem root folder and enable LEDBlinky checkbox.
2.: Run "HyperSpinEventIntegrator.exe" (EDS GUI) to configure your external apps that you would like to use. (see posted video at thread #308 for more instructions)
2.1: Application (first table column): Specifying application .exe directory location
2.1.1: Example path for Application
- LEDBlinky - C:\Hyperspin\LEDBlinky\LEDBlinky.exe (reference to the real ledblinky if you have the hardware)
- HyperMarquee - C:\Hyperspin\HyperMarquee\Hyper Marquee.ex
- HS FileWatcher - C:\Hyperspin\EDS\HSfileWatcher\HSFileWatcher.exe (not needed in HS 1.4 or higher)
2.2: IPC Methods (3) - CLI, Pipe & Pipe (CLI) - See application guide for more explanations.
2.3: CBR: Close Before Rerun, avoid using with IPC Methods: Pipe or Pipe (cli). But it must be checked for CLI applications.(Excepted for Leblinky.exe)
2.4: Parameters: Inputs are place in this order [event], "[system]", "[game]" or [ledblinky] or blank for no parameters used.
2.4.1: Event ID (Ledblinky compatible)
Front-End Start (1) Front-End Stop (2) Game Launch (3) Game Stop (4) Screensaver Start (5) Screensaver Stop (6) System Select (7) List Change (8) Game Select (9) Animation Stop (11) Load MAME Controller File (12) Reset Ultrastik 360 (13) 2.5: Pipe ID : For HyperMarquee, this is the name title of the named Pipe to send the message between EDS and the remote application (HyperMarquee).
2.6: Event Filter : The specified events list accepted parameters to launch the application. input table refer to 2.4.1
2.7: Close Filter : This feature allows closing the application using its Process ID (PID) for application that does not manage closing by themselves. input table refer to 2.4.1
2.8: System Filter : This feature allows restricting the remote application from being launched by all System (emulator) but the defined ones.
the remaining setting are self-explain
3.: Configure and enable EDS within your favorite Front End. Within HyperHQ goto the "Tools" tabs, set the path for EventDispatchSystem root folder and enable LEDBlinky.
~Settings: HyperMarquee in conjonction with EDS can be launched different ways according to what you are trying to achieve. As you know, there are 3 IPC methods - CLI, Pipe and Pipe (CLI) - that you can used. Out of those 3, 2 are workings without issues, but could present some minor limitations depending on what you are trying to do. For myself, I am always using 'Pipe' for HyperMarquee and not using CLI or Pipe (CLI) methods. I strongly recommend using 'Pipe' when calling HyperMaquee as your first pick, than CLI. Finally Pipe (CLI) may offer more flexibility with certain risks/complexity. For 'Pipe' option, make sure to check the check box called 'Launch Application on F.E start'. This checkbox will launch applications on F.E. start that has event 1 set in the Event Filter column. The 'Pipe' advantages; The fastest to launch, fastest inter-communication, and best interactivity. For all other applications that are not compatible with pipe IPC, use CLI and make sure to check the checkbox 'CBR'.
~(this is a beta evaluation version for testers only)

VIDEO
-----------------------
Useful video from mamefan
Quick EDS video (very technical): Ok, producing videos is not my cup of tea, but I feel this short video might be useful to understand EDS core functionalities and general approach.
This is a humble video providing the basic concept of the HyperSpin Event Dispatch System (EDS). The frame rate is low and may not give you the real response time difference between CLI and NamedPipe. Volume is also a little low, my apologies.
Also, please see post #188 from Event Dispatch System threads for a quick step by step trouble shooting.

alright all, I've uploaded all the work done to make main menu changer work for mode 3. Lots of work needed to be done to stream line it and list of updates are below
+You'll find the main menu database folder in it, supports 120 systems and hypersearch on all wheels!
+An updated hyperspeech thanks to boogieman so that siri doesn't yell at you each time you close hyperspin that connection was lost.
+Created 2 alternative gif files for main menu loader.
+Added the wheels I created and themes that were non bakerman related. You can get his category themes from launchbox.
+Updated the randomizer so the intro video only launches on the first launch and it still randomizes the video.
+Finally with all these hyperspins opening and closing the system tray was getting a lot of orphan icons so I got a script to deal with that and upon closing hyperspin, you should only have 1 set of orphan icons which I don't think there is any way around cleaning that up unless you physically run the exe again manually or hover over the system tray

Random Intro Video very easy to use
copy HyperIntro.exe to any folder of your hyperspin example: C:\Hyperspin\Tools\HyperIntro.exe
and in HyperHQ in the startup/Exit tab put the path of HyperIntro.exe as sample image shows
to create a folder any:\Hyperspin\Media\Frontend\Video\Intros
any videos *.mp4 or *.flv

hey,
I always wanted to start a screensaver on my hyperspin cabinet, when unattended for a certain amount of time but I found nothing usable.
So I decided to write an ahk Script to start a video screensaver.
Place the exe file together with the ini file to the wanted destination Install VLC media player Change the settings in the ini file and save VLC_Path= Path to vlc.exe Playlist_Path= Path to a media file or to a supported playlist file (for example m3u) Time_to_start= Time in seconds to start the screensaver when unattended Prompts_for_VLC= command line prompts for vlc to be started with (leave default) Open HyperHQ and go to the tab MainSettings\Startup/Exit and add Screensaver.exe to Startup Programm
After being unattended for some time vlc will play the selected playlist fullscreen and on top of hyperspin Hyperspin will also be muted After pressing any key or moving the mouse vlc will close and go back to hyperspin
I hope everything will work due to the fact that this was my first ahk confrontation, but my tests were successfull.
Greetings
sedte
PS: here is the link to all vlc prompts: VLC Prompts

MAME High Score For HyperSpin
Files required for MAME High Score support.
Includes dat files and HiToText program as outlined in the High Score Tutorial.
By iNTiGOD1,129 -
Basically, this little program is full of features, but its main purpose is to lower (or mute) the volume after a time of idle and to bring it back when you move or press anything.
Any suggestions? Let me know.
Some features.
Set the volume to a percent of the current volume after an amount of time (This is the default). Just mute the audio after an amount of time (Works on XP) Force the volume to a certain percent at startup. Force the volume to a certain percent when going idle (A definable percent instead of a percent of current volume). Definable FadeOut delay and FadeIn delay. Full-fledged application launcher with working dir, delay and restart options. Exceptions. You specify the exe file(s) you want. If one of them is active, it will not go idle. Volume per program. has the ability to change the volume to a certain percent if a process (program) is running. Splashscreen when idle. Shows some fancy graphics (optionally) that works like a screensaver when idle. Right click it in the traybar for a menu. A few more advanced options.
Do not be alarmed by the number of options for it. Run it as it is to start with and then you can start fiddling with the settings.

HyperRemote is a http web remote for HyperSpin and RocketLauncher.
HyperRemote allows you to browse, search and launch games from your collection right from your mobile phone or tablet device. Whilst ingame, you may save or load savestates, bring up the multi-game menu of rocketlauncher, or exit your game.
HyperRemote utilizes data and media from HyperSpin and RocketLauncher and as such requires that you have both programs installed and correctly set up with all systems successfully launching via RocketLauncher (although HyperSpin doesn't actually need to be running for HyperRemote to work.)
HyperRemote uses images and video from your HyperSpin Media directory. For the best experience with HyperRemote, ensure your collection contains wheel images for all games, mp4 videos for all games and game boxart in your artwork3 folder.
Installation:
Download Remote.zip and extract to your preferred location. Open config.ini and edit your HyperSpin and RocketLauncher paths. You may alter the port value if the default "8888" does not suit you. Run Remote.exe (First time users may receive a notice from their firewall asking to permit access) Point your web browser to: http:// [youripaddress] :8888/ "[youripaddress]" will be the LAN ip address of the system running HyperRemote. This is also shown in the console when launching HyperRemote.

Attached is a theme I made and wheel art that I made
It seems that the original hypersearch app that pietie created is no longer displaying here so I figured I would repost it with some goodies
Its the same app you are used you. Just changed the config file and your ready to go. If you want to add this as a single wheel, just add the exe to the call exe that's attached in the zip file and set that up for the wheel.
This is married to the ghutch start up script very nice. Get that start up script too and add this app to the start up menu. OPh and don't forget to add itt to the exit part of the script so this app opens and closes amazingly with hyperspin.

http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/topic/9028-hyperspin-startup-script/ - support topic in forums
Ok, this is not amazing but it is useful for you joystick/gamepad users and multi-taskers. This script is written in autohotkey and borrows some code from RocketLauncher.
This startup utility allows you to start and close an unlimited amount of processes and programs when hyperspin starts and closes. It allows you to use your gamepad/joystick in the hyperspin program without paying for 3rd party software. It can minimize your background windows when you start hyperspin and restore them in the opposite order when you close hyperspin. It has a volume bar that moves in from the bottom of the screen that allows you to control the volume in hyperspin using hyperspin keyboard controls or joystick controls. It has a quicklaunch bar that moves in from the left side of the screen from which you can launch commonly used programs that are used in setting up hyperspin or your gaming session and even restart hyperspin (examples: hyperhq, RocketLauncherUI, don's hypertools, an internet browser, fraps, etc)
To use it Open HyperHQ, Go to Main Settings -> Startup\Exit -> and set the .exe file as your startup program.
How to make it work:
Run it once, a new file should appear in the folder it is in. It's name will be the same name as this program and will have the extension "ini"
Open the ini file. You should see some of the settings described below.
[Required]
HyperSpin_Folder_Path REQUIRED! is the path to the folder containing hyperspin.exe (Default is .\ which would be the same folder as the startup script. ..\ means one folder up. ..\..\ would mean two folders up). Absolute paths are still accepted.
Primary_Color_RRGGBB is the background color of the menus given in a hex rrggbb format. Examples and a color picker can be found here.
Secondary_Color_RRGGBB is the background color of the menus given in a hex rrggbb format. Examples and a color picker can be found here.
[Controls]
Joysticks_Enabled can be true or false. Set this to true to use a joystick or gamepad with hyperspin. May work for controllers other than the 360 controller.
Joystick_Delay is the number of milliseconds to wait before repeating for only the hyperspin startup menus
Joystick_Deadzone is a number between 0 and 49 representing the size of the axis deadzone for every axis. 0 is the most sensitive. 49 is the least sensitive.
Joysticks_MaxNumberOfJoysticks is a number between 1 and 16 that represents how many joysticks you want to use at the same time (using same control layout) to control hyperspin
Joystick_Up, Joystick_Down, Joystick_SkipUp, Joystick_SkipDown, Joystick_SkipUpNumber, Joystick_SkipDownNumber, Joystick_HyperSpin, Joystick_Genre, Joystick_Favorites, Joystick_Start and Joystick_Exit do the same thing as their HyperSpin keyboard counterparts.
Joystick_Roulette, Joystick_Volume, Joystick_Volume_Close, Joystick_QuickLaunch and Joystick_QuickLaunch_Close joystick controls for roulette, volume bar and quicklaunch bar.
Joystick_Info, Joystick_Info_Close, Joystick_Filters and Joystick_Filters_Close are not yet implemented, need to be able to receive Event Dispatcher info, com xml code are needed to get these controls to work.
Joystick control options in the settings are separated by a vertical bar delimiter | . The joystick control options available are as follows
for axis: JoyX-, JoyX+, JoyY-, JoyY+, JoyZ-, JoyZ+, JoyR-, JoyR+, JoyU-, JoyU+, JoyV- and JoyV+
for dpad/hat switch: JoyPOVN, JoyPOVE, JoyPOVS and JoyPOVW
for buttons: Joy1, Joy2, Joy3, Joy4, Joy5, Joy6, Joy7, Joy8, Joy9, Joy10, Joy11, Joy12, Joy13, Joy14, Joy15, Joy16, Joy17, Joy18, Joy19, Joy20, Joy21, Joy22, Joy23, Joy24, Joy25, Joy26, Joy27, Joy28, Joy29, Joy30, Joy31 and Joy32
[startup]
Minimize_Background_Windows_Enabled can be true or false. Set this to true to minimize windows when this script starts.
Window_Classes_To_Not_Minimize is a comma delimited list of window classes that will not be minimized. To get the window class you can use this tool AU3 Window Spy.zip.
[Exit]
Restore_Windows_On_Exit can be true or false, if true it will restore all windows minimized by the script, if false the windows will stay minimized when hyperspin exits
[startup] & [Exit]
Process_Name_To_Close_1 is the name of the process you wish to close. To add more processes to close, just change the 1 to a 2 for the second process, the 2 to a 3 for a third process, etc. Example:
Process_Name_To_Close_1=notepad.exeProcess_Name_To_Close_2=hyperlaunch.exe
Program_To_Run_Target_1 is a document, URL, executable file (.exe, .com, .bat, etc.), shortcut (.lnk), or system verb to launch. If Target is a local file and no path was specified with it, The script's directory will be searched first. If no matching file is found there, the system will search for and launch the file if it is integrated ("known"), e.g. by being contained in one of the PATH folders. To pass parameters, add them immediately after the program or document name. If a parameter contains spaces, it is safest to enclose it in double quotes (even though it may work without them in some cases). Paths relative to the startup script are allowed.
Program_To_Run_Working_Dir_1 is the working directory for the launched item. Do not enclose the name in double quotes even if it contains spaces. If omitted, the script's own working directory will be used. Relative Paths are not allowed.
Program_To_Run_MaxMinHide_1 is if omitted, Target will be launched normally. Alternatively, it can contain one or more of these words:
Max :launch maximized
Min :launch minimized
Hide : launch hidden (cannot be used in combination with either of the above)
Note: Some applications (e.g. Calc.exe) do not obey the requested startup state and thus Max/Min/Hide will have no effect.
To add more programs to open, just change the 1 to a 2 for the second program, the 2 to a 3 for a third program, etc.
Example:
Program_To_Run_Target_1=C:\Utilities\Xpadder\xpadder.exe "C:\HyperLaunch\Profiles\xpadder\HyperSpin\p1.xpadderprofile" /MProgram_To_Run_Working_Dir_1=Program_To_Run_MaxMinHide_1=Program_To_Run_Target_2=HyperSearch.exeProgram_To_Run_Working_Dir_2=C:\HyperSpin\HyperSearchProgram_To_Run_MaxMinHide_2=Program_To_Run_Target_3=explorer.exeProgram_To_Run_Working_Dir_3=Program_To_Run_MaxMinHide_3=
[Roulette]
Roulette_Key is the compatible autohotkey key name for the key or two key combo used to trigger the roulette event. Modifier Symbols are accepted. There is already built in support for the roulette function for joysticks.
Roulette_Min_MilliSeconds is the minimum amount of milliseconds to spin the HyperSpin menu wheel
Roulette_Min_MilliSeconds is the maximum amount of milliseconds to spin the HyperSpin menu wheel
[Volume_Menu]
Volume_Menu_Key is the compatible autohotkey key name for the key or two key combo used to open/close the volume bar. Modifier Symbols are accepted. There is already built in support for the volume menu for joysticks.
Volume_Bar_Offset_From_Bottom is the distance in pixels from the bottom of the screen to the bottom of the volume bar. For reference the windows 7 taskbar is typically 40 pixels.
[QuickLaunch]
QuickLaunch_Key is the compatible autohotkey key name for the key or two key combo used to open/close the quicklaunch menu. Modifier Symbols are accepted. There is already built in support for the quicklaunch menu for joysticks.
QuickLaunch_Enabled can be true or false. Set to false to disable the use of the quicklaunch menu, useful to disable if you don't want to ruin the arcade experience, useful to enable to help troubleshoot and make changes to your setup, amongst other things.
QuickLaunch_Left_Offset is the distance in pixels from the left of the screen to the left edge of the logos
QuickLaunch_Top_Offset is the distance in pixels from the top of the screen to the top edge of the first selectable logo
QuickLaunch_Bottom_Offset is the distance in pixels from the bottom of the screen to the bottom edge of the last selectable logo
Item_1_Path is a document file, executable file (.exe, .com, .bat, etc.), or shortcut file (.lnk), to launch. If Target is a local file and no path was specified with it, The script's directory will be searched first. If no matching file is found there, it will not be added to the menu as an option. Paths relative to the startup script are allowed.
Item_1_Parameters is the parameters to pass to the application. If a parameter contains spaces, it is safest to enclose it in double quotes (even though it may work without them in some cases).
Item_1_LogoPath is a path to an image file to be used as the logo for the application in the quicklaunch menu. If this value does not exist or is empty, this script will attempt to extract and use the application's icon.
Item_1_Ignore_Process_Close can be true or false. does not reactivate hyperspin or the quicklaunch menu when the application specified is closed. Useful for for applications that use a launcher.
To add more items to the quicklaunch menu, just change the 1 to a 2 for the second item, the 2 to a 3 for a third item, etc.
Example:
Item_1_Path=C:\HyperSpin\HyperSpin.exeItem_1_Parameters=Item_1_LogoPath=Item_1_Ignore_Process_Close=falseItem_2_Path=C:\HyperSpin\HyperHQ.exeItem_2_Parameters=Item_2_LogoPath=Item_2_Ignore_Process_Close=falseItem_3_Path=C:\HyperSpin\HyperSync Cloud\HyperSync Cloud.exeItem_3_Parameters=-trueItem_3_LogoPath=Item_3_Ignore_Process_Close=falseItem_4_Path=C:\HyperLaunch\HyperLaunchHQ\HyperLaunchHQ.exeItem_4_Parameters=Item_4_LogoPath=C:\HyperLaunch\HyperLaunch Icons\hlhqicon256x256.pngItem_4_Ignore_Process_Close=falseItem_5_Path=C:\HyperSpin\HyperTools\Filter HyperList.exeItem_5_Parameters=Item_5_LogoPath=Item_5_Ignore_Process_Close=falseItem_6_Path=C:\HyperSpin\HyperTools\Rename ROMs.exeItem_6_Parameters=Item_6_LogoPath=Item_6_Ignore_Process_Close=falseItem_7_Path=C:\HyperSpin\HyperTools\Split HyperList.exeItem_7_Parameters=Item_7_LogoPath=Item_7_Ignore_Process_Close=falseItem_8_Path=C:\HyperSpin\HyperTools\Create New HyperList.exeItem_8_Parameters=Item_8_LogoPath=Item_8_Ignore_Process_Close=falseItem_9_Path=C:\HyperSpin\HyperTools\Merge HyperLists.exeItem_9_Parameters=Item_9_LogoPath=Item_9_Ignore_Process_Close=false

It's a Text-to-speech addon for HyperSpin that is will speak the system names, system biographs, game descriptions and MAME game bio's, but it also adds
speech for the events that HyperSpin send to LEDBlinky, like HS start/end, loading main menu wheel, loading system wheel, starting/ending games, start/end attraction mode and more.
The speech strings for the above events, but also the system bio's can be customized to your own likings and that's where people ou can put their own creativity into.
It is possible to enter a variety of text strings for each of the above mentioned LEDBlinky events.
These are then spoken random fashion to prevent boredom.
For speech optimization (pronouncement) and cleansing of the rubbish that exist in the descriptions, HyperSpeech does Regular Expression (RegEx) string replacements on each speech string.
There are however still situations where text is not being spoken right, the challenge then is to define the right regular expression strings to fix this globally or otherwise for each occurance.
I will update and finetune the HyperSpeech.dat file on a regular basis.
HyperSpeech uses the SAPI 5.x TTS interface and for the best HyperSpeech experience, I recommend the use of Loquendo or NeoSpeech voices.
(I've added support for Windows XP as well as it turned out that HyperSpeech is working on the SAPI 5.1 engine as well)
There is however, a significant difference in how certain voices and speech engines are interpreting and speaking the text you send.
For now I've decided to stick to the US Loquendo TTS voices and optimize speech for these voices with the RegEx'es in the HyperSpeech.dat file.
NOTE:
If you really want to add a little twist to HyperSpeech, route the Speech output through a voice morpher, and add effects to it to create a unique sounding voice.
Here's a video of HyperSpeech in effect in the HyperSpin main wheel:
Latest version:
HyperSpeech 0.9 (Added Windows XP support)
Previous versions:
HyperSpeech 0.8 (No more writing to a temp and now supports any video extension
HyperSpeech 0.7 (Supports Hyperspin 1.3: now scans for .mp4 system movies instead .flv's)
HyperSpeech 0.6 (For Hyperspin 1.2, fixed an issue with output to LEDBlinky)
Update:
I've now uploaded the AHK source files to the FTP for those who want to tweak, add features to it or just use some of my code for use in their own projects.

A simple plugin for XBMC to launch HyperSpin directly from XBMC.
The good thing is that, after closing Hyperspin, return automagically to XBMC.
Configuration is fairly simple. Only 2 fields: Hyperspin Folder and HyperSpin.exe file.
Just install as zip file:
Only requirement: python 2.10 so XBMC Eden and greater.

Basically, all you need is to launch mcheat.exe (it will be mimimaized in tray), than launch any of supported emulators than use Ctrl+E to show menu, arrows to navigate, "END" button to activate/deactivate cheats and enter submenus, backspace to return from submenu or close main menu.
You have to have .net framework 4 installed. And if you plan to use it on 64x OS with 32 bits emulators (most of them are 32 bits), you need to launch "Register SlimDX.bat" before using the app.
