Having just gone through a rebuild of my cab, I started thinking about how many different little things I do to make it the way I want to be. Hyperspin's great in the sense that you can customize pretty much anything in it. You can skin it however you want, build your own themes etc... But there are a bunch of little things that I think make a huge amount of difference so I figured I'd post this as I know I'd like to have had a guide like this as a newbie when I started so many years ago. So I figured I'd post some things that have guided me in my experience here. Some of this will be on cabs but it's mostly geared towards customizing HS. 1. Make it your own. If you…

Hi everyone, been using Hyperspin for quite some time and it's time for a technical upgrade of the ole Mame arcade. I currently have a PC in an old 28' Mortal Kombat 2 cabinet. I gutted it and put in a 28 inch TV as the monitor. I use the s-video input from the PC and it works perfectly. The problem: I'm upgrading the PC to a min Dell i5 3040 which my options are DVI or HDMI. I'm trying to find a good converter cause i don't want to replace the monitor. Question: Does anyone have any recommendations or solutions to go from a DVI /HDMI connector to an s-video? Any recommendations on a good converter that has been tested and experienced? I tried th…

Is this still the best way to setup nested wheels in Hyperspin or is there an improved method? The more I use Hyperspin, the more I realize having narrowed down lists of games is the way to go instead of having 1000's of games to go through. However, I may have a buddy who wants to play a specific game. So what I am trying to do is move all of my wheels to an "All" wheel and then just have only a few main emulator wheels at the top that each have say my top 20 favorite games for each system. This way I can easily find my favorite games by system but also go to find a specific game if needed. Get the best of both worlds. All > Contains huge collection …

Hello everyone, happy new year, I use Dons Hyperspin Tools 4.3.26 to generate my xml for the database, the problem is that I want to complete the other data such as manufacturing, year, description, etc. In the case of MAME, I have an xml file that exports the exe of the mame to obtain the information, or even the exe, but the option to generate a hyperspin list from the mame's xml fails. Could someone tell me how I can complete these fields automatically? For me it is important because MAME has really strange names in their roms and the description that appears in the mame4.exe is super necessary. Thank you very much in advance!

Hey All, I am really hoping to find a solution to Hyperspin hiding the mouse cursor. I have added an overlay which I can use, but the mouse cursor is only visible when on-top of a link. If I move it back to Hyperspin it hides which makes it hard to keep track of the mouse. I understand Hyperspin is a FE which is primarily built for ease of control with joysticks etc but is there a away to have Hide Cursor Turned off? Or Toggle-able. If not is there a 3rd Part app anyone knows of that allows the cursor to be always seen/onscreen? So far I have looked through the settings files, and also tried just running HS as a window. Anyone k…

I was missing quite a lot of video snaps on my cabinet so yesterday I downloaded the full .mp4 Mame collection for 0.202 version from Progetto Snaps: http://www.progettosnaps.net/videosnaps/ When I installed them I set up a new videos folder and renamed the old one to keep them as a back up. All these mp4 videos work but some of them look strange. They look very narrow and thin, their aspect ratio is all wrong and don't fit the theme windows properly. All I've done is the above... new set of videos in same directory. Not touched any themes or databases. Games like Frogger, Amidar, Moon Cresta to name a few well known games are all affected. If I play t…

I am using HyperSpin 1.5.1. By default, I want all of the games hidden and I would like to turn on the ones that I like one by one. I went in MAME.xml and did a find of "<enabled>Yes</enabled>" and replaced with "<enabled>No</enabled>", then I picked a few games and switched the text back to "<enabled>Yes</enabled>". When I open the MAME wheel, I still see every single game. Is there a setting somewhere that I need to check to respect the MAME.XML file? Also, if I "Begin Sync" in HyperSync, is it going to download every single file? Thanks

Hi all hyperspin members, sorry if I ask a little help, I'm in this situation, all the keys are configured on HyperHQ. In practice I start the HyperSpin program, I select the MAME64 x64 v0.201.0.0 from Emulare and when I decide to play with a game, the game does not start, I always remain in the game selection screen to start, so I ask for help to understand how come it doesn't recognize the startup tag. HyperSpin latest version 1.5.1 Mame64 x64 v0.201.0.0 latest version. I kindly ask for help, I await your response to my problem. Best regards from Kid80 said (Kid ITALY).

Hello, I am a player from China. I like HyperSpin very much, but the software doesn't have a Chinese menu, which makes me very upset. It is also very difficult to read the tutorial. I want to ask if I can add the Chinese menu. Thank you.

DISREGARD - FIXED, don't see how to delete a post here. It was Hyperbrite. Had I searched directly here instead of just Google I'd have found it right away. My fault. Hello, I am getting the error "usb error please check sign is connected" every time HyperSpin starts, once I click OK it shows up again any time I make a wheel choice. What have I done? I don't /recall/ making any changes. My log from my Hyperspin directory is pretty empty: 02:50:12 PM | HyperSpin Started 02:50:12 PM | Going FullScreen 02:50:12 PM | Checking for updates 02:50:12 PM | Update Check Complete 02:50:12 PM | Startup program unavailable 02:50:12 PM | Error intializing joys…

Hi Guys, I'm having an issue with my controllers working. Everything was up and running perfectly, then I temporarily moved my HyerSpin folder and even though it is back where it belongs my controllers aren't working with HS. When I check the log text file it says the controllers failed to initialize. Any advice? I'm running 1.4.16

I have never used HS in its current form, so I've been testing things out. I put all of my SNES roms in a folder and downloaded the newest HS SNES database. I used Don's Hyperspin Tools to rename everything using that database file, and I find that it's not actually finding some of the games I have. For instance, I have "Street Fighter II Turbo - Hyper Fighting" or "Spider-Man and Venom - Maximum Carnage" which I know are real games, yet they're not on the database list when I audit my games in RocketLauncher. There's not red or green, they're just not there. What am I doing wrong?

Hey Guys Hoping someone can help me out on this. I'm trying to get my hyperspin system set up to work in a new cabinet I've built. I have 2 joysticks, 8 buttons per player and p1 button, p2 button and coin. When I go in to joytokey to set it up it will not recognise that i'm moving the joystick or pressing any buttons. The controls are showing up and working in windows devices. Any one know what i'm doing wrong? Ta Running windows 10 and latest version of joytokey and hyperspin

I'm just finishing off setting up my system but I'm struggling with the controllers on different emulators. I've googled this to death and it's only aided in confusing me more as some say I should be using Joy2Key, others xpadder and then some saying I wont need any ! I have a Ultimarc iPac Ultimate connected to a 2 player setup with 6 buttons for each player, joystick, coin, player and 'flipper' buttons for each player. I also ave one Aimtrak lightgun. I've setup the iPac with the 'standard' Mame buttons for each player (L-CTRL for one button, L-ALT etc). I can move up and down on the wheel but none of the buttons seem to work like they should when in dif…
