I recall I used Don's hyperfilter to sort through games that were Working, and used the controls I have available... but now for the life of me I can't figure out how to get a list that actually has this information so I can sort it. No XML file I found has the Status marker in the info, or number of players, or anything of that sort. I can't create a mamelist.xml because it just doesn't seem to want to work, creates a 0 byte file. I'm not even sure I need a mamelist.xml.. is that the same as MAME.xml that goes into the hyperspin database? I upgraded from .172 to .188 and I wanted to create a new list of games. Any help would be appreciated.

My control board uses an IPAC4 preconfigured to MAME. So the "Menu" button is TAB. I've been kicking around ideas for how to map HyperSpin given my board, and I've settled on using the menu button to launch into HyperSpin genres. So when I go into HyperHQ and try to set the genre field, I hit "set" and then hit tab. It then literally tabs back over to the set button rather than register the tab key in the field. Is TAB just a key that HyperHQ can't hande for this function? is there perhaps a ini or config file I can tweak? I looked but didn't find one. Thank you for your help.

Hi all Yep, yet another newbie with dreams of putting together a mame cabinet. I've followed the simply Austin setup guides and the problem I have is that hyperspin cant see my roms. Clicking into mame on hyperspin just chucks me back out to the intro screen unless I uncheck the roms only filter in HQ. I've checked a few times to make sure I have the rom path correct and the other requirements. I know you guys need a log to get a better idea. Do I get that from rocketlauncher? Not even exactly sure how I do that? I've attached an Html of the log if that's usable? Sorry I'm not more helpful but help would be appreciated. log.html

FOUR NEW FIXES for potential problems you may face when setting up HyperSpin. Please excuse if any of my fixes/discoveries are previously well known territory. I hope Simply Austin sees this too for future tutorials he may or may not do... BEZELS NOT SHOWING: FIX After botching up my N64 setup because my OCD kicked in and I deleted my wheel to create a new one WHERE I wanted it to show up, I was back to Austin's videos. On Austin's Nintendo 64 guide, a youtube popup frame turned up I didnt see the first time in another browser from adblocking. This revealed a VERY important find: Many (most?) of Austin's system download packs that include fades and bezels need…

Ok I have HyperSpin Setup and using RocketLaucher. I have nes emulator and a few others up and running with no issues. But when it comes to MAME i have issues, In rocket laucher, I set everything up and the launch fine and play from both the UI and exe of rocket launcher with no issues, but HyperSpin will not launch the MAME roms, all the emulators still work for the others, but mame is giving me issues from launching in hyperspin. I even tried to link directly to the mame emulator withing the HyperHQ and once I launch hyperspin and select a rom it tells me that it cant find the exe even though its exactly where it says it cant find it.…

I have both ttx_config2.0.exe and JConfig.exe but I can't seem to get the controls to actually work. Am I just putting the files in the wrong place?

Hello! I got Don's Hyperspin Filter to limit the number of games displayed to those that I actually have (which is great). Now I'd like to have a Mamelist.xls so that I know what controls it uses; I have an Extension Emulator Edition with a trackball and spinner. I want to create custom genres for Spinners and Trackball. Everytime I try to do it, it gives me an error that it cannot create the mamelist.xls (Return Code 1). Any advice?

So, I had a friend come over a while back and to my surprise, the system he could not wait to play was the original Game Boy. Turns out, he was a Game Boy fanatic! Anyway, he was asking me about filtering just Super Game Boy versions of games with enhanced content. I couldn't find anything on this, so I made up a list. Here's every original Game Boy game that is in some way enhanced when using Super Game Boy that I could find. Put it in your Genres list or make a Main Menu wheel for it! Enjoy! <script src="http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=Q7rSprLw"></script> Ok, I can't figure out how to use pastebin 'cause I'm a dummy. Just follow this link: http:/…

Hi! Just got FruitMachines pack from PD. Searched HS FTP for any info on XMLs, wheels, themes and found some. The only one XML on FTP gives multiple errors related to character "&" in filename. So I renamed filenames to remove it. But however the result is really far from expected: PD pack has over 3K roms for MFME and FTP XML (old one) only 270 entries. Does anybody have anything fresh and good for MFME fruit machines? I digged RL and HS forums but FM seem to be very outsider stuff here and there...

I have my setup nearly complete and am happy overall, but I can't seem to figure this one out. No matter which system I select, when I skip left/right, by letter, the letters don't actually show up. It skips by letter just fine, it's just that the letters don't show. I have the letters in the ...images/letters sub-folder. Is this correct? What am I missing? Thanks, --J

I got fed up with software solutions to forcing idle timeout. Nothing worked. So I glued two switches together and used a dremel to bore some holes into the switches so it will fit in a happ style button. One connects to my Ps2 keyboard to force hardware event. The other goes to my d-input device that runs the joystick. It works! If it is a bit janky looking.

Just a FYI announcement! I purchased the Elgato Stream Deck and it is an awesome device however those looking to use it in conjuction with MAME well .... it does not work with MAME! Really sucks as I was really hopoing that I could use it with HyperSpin and MAME by creating custom icons for buttons like Insert Coin or Player One ect ect well for whatever reason the Elgato Stream Deck will not send hotkeys when MAME is running. Outside of MAME it works perfectly so maybe at some point they will fix that but not currently. So if your looking to use it within MAME I can't recommend purchasing it. I have seen it works in games but have not tested with any yet so I …

My cabinet only has 3 buttons per player + a start button so I usually want to see how many buttons a game uses before I start it to see if I can play it. Is there a way to display the number of buttons used when I select a game? There's a file "controls.ini" that has control data for most games, like this: [mshvsf] gamename=Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter (Euro 970625) numPlayers=2 alternating=0 mirrored=1 tilt=0 cocktail=0 usesService=0 miscDetails= P1NumButtons=6 P1Controls=8-way Joystick+joy8way P1_BUTTON1=Punch - Jab P1_BUTTON2=Punch - Strong P1_BUTTON3=Punch - Fierce P1_BUTTON4=Kick - Short P1_BUTTON5=Kick - Forward P1_BU…

I got a new PC for the arcade cabinet and working on migrating everything over from my old machine. I'm running into issues with House of Dead 2 (PC version) I keep getting the error "Not support graphic device". This is a windows 10 machine with graphics drivers updated. This game runs on my office machine which has the same setup. I'm really stumped as to whats different from the arcade machine vs my office machine. I made sure they have the same directex drivers. I do a dxdiag and I see directdraw is not available how do I make this available? It maybe the issue? Thanks

Your expert help is requested: I have freshly installed for HS 1.4 and RL but ran into a snag when testing my setup after enabling the XIN-MO controllers in HYPERHQ. It was my understanding that version 1.4 brings support for Joystick navigation without the need for a key-mapper. Is there an additional step beyond enabling the "Joystick" in HYPERHQ?

Hi guys, I was hoping I wouldnt have to come asking questions but I'm baffled here... I have a Xin-mo Dual for my HS/MAME setup but I'm having a few weird issues. Firstly, there seems to be a discrepancy between what the Xin-mo thinks is P1 Joystick and what Windows and HS think is P1 joystick...this shouldn't be an issue in itself, but it leads into another problem: When trying to set controls up in HyperHQ (was under the impression that this works now) I can get both P1 and P2 buttons to select and escape etc in HS but only my P2 joystick will control the wheel...can this be remedied? On that same note, has the enable joystick control feature in HyperHQ a…

Hi All, I am new to Hyperspin and I've been following the guides to set it up properly. I am currently watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQRg4tMFdpY&list=PLKkoYR3SrcmcOrfryNXamq2za8Q4S0Nii&index=5 And I'm stuck with renaming/matching my roms to the latest mame.xml database. When I run the Dons hyperspin tools renamer. It matches 0 of 9772 roms. Is there a better way than matching them manually? It seems like a lot of work! Is it a good option to create a new list from the existing roms and then merge it with the one I downloaded from this forum? Thanks a lot, Lucas

Exactly what it says in the title.. I live the Unified Megatheme stuff all made for the Widescreen... its amazing as it means I have a minimum of stretched themes on my system. However apart from just a few wheels almost all my covers, wheels etc is stretched and warped when sized into my 16:9 screen. I know theres some voodoo you can do and I even heard of a Tut available to resize some themes. Has anyone got a program, can make a program or even a Batch script for PS so I can resize my art in a 1'r. I dont mind then sharing all the resized stuff for others in the same boat with warped art. It would be handy top have something that you could input your rez and it…

After a recent hard drive disaster I finished recovering my Hyperspin directories and I'm going through systems to check them. PC Engine-CD is back to its old misbehavior of refusing to mount the disc to Daemon, causing it to launch to the music player. Turbografx-CD works perfectly, which is why I'm so absolutely baffled here. I even tried using the Magic Engine in my Turbo-CD directory to launch PC Engine-CD; nothing. No disc mounted. I also copied the PCE.ini for TurboCD over to PC Engine-CD's install of Magic Engine. No disc mounted. Why is Turbo-CD working as intended but PCECD refuses? This was working before I had to recover my hard drive. Sega Sat…
