Right... Well its that time of year again. Im on the big update to my HS, all art, new ideas, new HLHQ etc etc etc. So one at a time im going through my systems and looking at what I can do to make them better. As some of you may remember, im a MAME Mong!! I have it working, it works well, but I have no idea how. I understand the theory, just not the Emus. But I can get them to work. My current version is 153? It works well for what I need. have full roms and CHDs. Its running with Jumpstyles MAMEUIFX which so far... is working ok?? Problem is that I now love all this bezel stuff going on. I also love the filters, shaders etc that can be used and form what l…

I just got my EMS Topgun 3 lightgun and have it setup and it works fine in American laser games, but to set it up in MAME is a real pain. I´ve made the changes to the ini file and now I´m trying to set the Lightgun X and Y with the gun. After a few tries I managed to get the Y axis set, but every time I try to set the X axis it becomes either Gun 1 Y Gun 1 X or Gun 1 X Gun 1 Y. Isn´t there a ini file for this where I could change that to Gun 1 X manually or do you have another tips on how to set this? If I use the gun to steer the mouse cursor in windows I can make it reach each corner and the red pointer and cursor are aligned, but the cursor isn´t 100% stable, that …

Just a heads up guys looks like the zfreeze implementation has been merged in with the Master Branch so then RS games are most likely playable, although you are going to need a pretty beefy set up to run them full speed from what I read.

I've noticed there are a lot of bad roms out there, especially in MAME. I was reading some where that there is a way to fix these bad roms. The 2 main roms I'm concerned about are the TMNT 2 and The Simpsons roms. I know they work because I've seen cabinets use them. Anyone know how to do this?

Setting up hyperspin and so far doing ok. But I have some emulators (such as visualboy advance) give me an ask error message and advising me I might have the incorrect emulator version. How do I know which emulator version to use which is compatible with hyper launch?

I'd like to space out my games on the wheel a bit more, as i've truncated the list and now they repeat. i would like to space them out so it's not so obvious. I did a search but only thing i could find on the matter was the spread factor setting, which i don't think exists yet. or at least i couldn't find it. anyone know how to do this?

Ok.. Hours of config work and then hooking up to CGA Standard Res monitor and ArcadeVGA 5000 freezes up. Arcade Monitor - neotec NT-S501 CGA monitor ArcadeVGA 5000 - With Windows 7 drivers Windows 7 Ultimate Operating System Hyperspin Front end Issue: Windows desktop will show at 640 x 288 which I guess is ok. The problem is that when you enter the hyperspin wheel, the main videos freeze up and the screen turns green. Hyperspin locks up. I tried getting into windows media player and disabled hardware acceleration which did nothing. anyone know a work around for this and why the video and hyperspin is freezing up? Tried Ultimarc and waiting for Andy to respond. …

Lets start with the easy question: is there a FP BAM wheel? I thought that maybe I would do two separate wheels for FP and FP BAM so I don´t have to change the arcade mode setting, some poeple like BAM and some don´t. It´s just to make a copy of the whole FP folder and name the second one FP BAM. The second question is about the DMD When I run BAM the DMD isn´t updated and sometimes it doesn´t show anything at all. Is there a setting that I´m missing? I don´t have a pinball cab with two screens, just an arcade cab with vertically mounted widescreen.

Hello. I work for a arcade / amusement machines company and we currently own some machines (let's call them Play Stations) that are basically a PC with W7 and a custom frontend (which is quite similar to hyperspin tbh) with some PC games loaded. Sadly, the company that manufactures them (well the software part of it) has TERRIBLE support and considering the machines are quite expensive, we are looking for a viable alternative. The machines do not run anything other than a dozen of PC games and a dozen of MAME Roms, for which we do have a license. HyperSpin, as I've said before, is quite similar and would work pretty much perfectly if it had coin acceptor support but w…

I've noticed a lot of people keep their roms individually zipped. Is this necessary? I understand with MAME and other arcade roms they must remain zipped due to multiple files for 1 game, but do I need to do this with NES, SNES, N64? If not, what's the reasoning behind leaving them zipped?

Hey guys, I'd like some feedback on what hardware you guys use for computer based emulation. I'm in the process of setting up dosbox and have found it very difficult and time consuming setting up controls using my logitech f710 gamepad. Like xbox or playstation controllers these obviously aren't suited for setting up computer based systems due to the sheer number of keyboard keys used. I have setup some of my favourite games using xpadder but its not quite the same as having a keyboard in front of you. Do you guys use keyboards in your cabinets when running dosbox, c64, spectrum etc as opposed to gamepads or joysticks? I was thinking of getting something like the k41…

Hi Guys & Girls, I am trying to set up the Atari 5200 and I am using Kat5200 to do so. I have the basics set up but I am a bit confused regarding the naming or placement of the rom files/bin files For example Astro Chase (USA).a52 is just one file so not a problem regarding that one However Blue Print has 7 files has two .a52 (Blue Print (USA).a52/Blue Print (USA) [b3].a52) file and then some .bin files such as [b1].bin, [b2].bin I have been trying to Google the answer with not much results, so then I thought that I would ask the experts for any naming tips or what files I have to keep etc etc. Regards Mark

Hello all, long time lurker, here's a rundown on what I have. I built a mame cab back in 04, it has some really crappy pc in it that I'm gonna scrap. I'm keeping everything else in it but since I'm new to hyperspin I need a little guidance. I don't want to get rid of this cab, it has a 27" wells gardner d9200 monitor in it. So right away I know it won't support the newest games. I need to build a Pc and I need some help from you experts on what all I need to get hyperspin running with this monitor then need a list of what emulators are ok for this monitor, max resolution is 800x600 optimal is 640x480. I was thinking I'd buy an arcade vga from ultimarc but I'm not sure i…

Hello, I have had Hyperspin up and running for a while now. I had the default theme with box, cartridge and videos for a few systems. With the CPS I found the themes for the few games I had and got them working. The steps I used were 1) download them 2) unzip 3) copy each file to the folder EG Artwork1 to Artwork1 folder 4) rename file eg Artwork1 to 1942. This worked good. I would like to add themes for NES and Master System but noticed the few themes I downloaded had the same issue. The files are all the same name eg Artwork1, Artwork2 and so on. Shouldn't they be named the same as the game name in the xml? If I unzip River City Ransom theme and say overwrite it overw…

Hey everyone, I have recently started putting together my Sega Model 2 emulator (nebula) in hyperspin. When I launch any rom, it will work just fine for about 5-10 seconds, then it crashes. Everything works perfect outside of hyperpsin but i have no idea where to look to see what is happening for it to crash. I do hear the monkey noise hyperspin makes when something goes wrong but no error message shows up. Any help is greatly appreciated

I've been a complete morning trying to configure nullDC emulator with two Xbox controllers (made in China). I can't make the emulator to recognize the controller. I've tried with Xpadder through HyperLaunch but no luck. In my installation I have an arcade control panel but I want to use the Xbox controllers for Dreamcast instead of those. Could you help me?

Hello all and thank you for reading this post. I have been playing around with hyperspin for a few days now and at first I was overwhelmed (still am). The only programing I have ever done was with matlab and excel (engineering stuff). I would like to know what coding skills/languages might come in handy while learning how to set up hyperspin? Its seems that if I could get an idea of how it works beneath the hood I will be better off.
