Hi all, ¿is there any way to preventing Hyperspin to load theme Artbox/Video/Themes when you navigate? I was thinking something like having a key pressed, and while you keep pressed media won't load, and then when you release it, everything turns to normality (I wish some bug caused that, but... lucky me). The reason for that, is because althought Hyperspin appearance is pretty nice, let's face it, the wheels are difficult to read because of the different shapes/logos/fonts/colors... I need some time to read what titles I'm moving and what ones are above/below, but after I barely i've started to read, bum!!! boxart or theme appears in the middle of screen preventing …

Hi, I have been searching for different special artworks. Ideally I would like to have one showing an xbox controller and another showing a joystick. They don't need to be animated, its just to indicate the control scheme for each different emulator. Does anyone have these already or know of a free software in order to create them? Many thanks! G

Hey Guys, Ive seen a few threads regarding this issue but never seen an answer. What happened to all the old themes that we now don't have permission to view? Are they going to be re-uploaded or are they lost in the abyss?

Finally setting up Sega Naomi. Which emulator should I use? I've heard some say Demul, Makaron and even NullDC. Most of the stuff I've been reading is a couple years old. Just trying to figure this one out. My computer is a beast so I'm not worried about performance, just the one with best compatibility. Any recommendations?

Hi Everyone, I am a first time MAME arcade cabinet builder and very excited about this project. I have been reading article after article and tutorial after tutorial, and i very, very confused of where to start. So, let me give explain my adventure so far. I have downloaded the latest version of MAME .184, also i have the matching MERGED rom set .184. I would like to use a nice front end like hyperspin, so I have downloaded and setup hyperspin and rocketlauncher (per simply austin tutorials). I added the MAME emulator and complete MERGED ROM set within HS & RL. Now this is where the confusion comes in; Several ROMs are not able to be loaded/played through MAME after I…

Hi guys, I'm putting together a new machine to run Hyperspin, and I'm trying to plan my storage. I have a NAS with standard IDE HDDs, and I know that will be fine for a lot of older ROMs that are loaded into system memory before starting. My question is: do any of the newer games (PS1/PS2/Gameube/Wii) benefit from being on a SSD? will loading times differ greatly between an SSD in the HTPC itself vs. standard HDDS on my NAS? Thanks...

Hi guys, I'm planning to build a cabinet in time but until then I'm trying to get things setup and working with all the bugs worked out. My big struggle has been controls so I need some expert advice. I'm going to try and break down what I want to do and I'm pretty sure I can't be the only one to want this type of setup so I'm hoping to figure out the best way to achieve this. Right now I have an Xarcade tanks stick with track ball. This right now basically just mapps keyboard commands which I then map to controls within my emulators. I also have 2 usb NES controllers I ordered online for like 8 bucks a piece. I am mainly using mame and retroarch for now as m…

Hello HS Community, I'm experiencing an issue with SSF 012 r4 and I have everything setup correctly, I think, however it's not working. I'm getting an error in Rocketlauncher that says SSF only supports NFGICUEICCDIISO however, you are attempting to load ".iso". Everything works fine in SSF directly; The error seems to be a false positive since iso is clearly in ssf extension list, however RocketLauncher feels like the extension isn't supported. I had SSF working in Windows 8 but I recently updated to Windows 10 so I had to reconfigure paths and reinstall daemon tools. It looks like DT on Win10 doesn't support virtual scsi so I'm not sure if this is the problem.…

I just updated to the latest MAME64 and updated my ROMs as well. I tested out the update in hyperspin and everything was working as it should. I then enabled the new port audio option (see below) in the .ini file and everything seemed to work great until i left a game. Once i exited the game back to hyperspin, hyperspin would not have any sound and the snap videos would only play a few seconds and freeze. I could switch games and select new games, but there wouldn't be any sound in hyperspin until i restarted hyperspin. So then i deleted my .ini file to see if it would work again, and it worked great. So it seems like enableing port audio is causing some issue…

I have watch too many videos and messed around too much without asking for help. Can't get away from this issue. Fyi. Using 360 controller Boots up fine Can select games on 5 different emulators When Exiting game with the centre button goes back to that systems games menu and I can choose another game for that systems. If I press back again and go to the main system select menu my controller stops working until I press ESC twice on the actual keyboard to bring up the exit menu. Then I select no and I can now use controller again. Any help would be great. Thanks Sent from my LG-H831 using Tapatalk

Firstly let me thankyou all for such a great resource and after many hours reading I finally have a set-up that I can be proud of and all down to you guys. I have a small question regarding the configuration of the emulators game database. When I configure the systems through Rlauncher it asks for a rom directory and then I set it to make a database based upon this. However I have since aquired additional ROMS but they are not showing up. I can get them to show by deleting the system in RLauncher and then recreating it. My question is, is there a way to force a refresh / renew of the database without the deletion/addition? Appreciate any help you could give.

Hi all, I'm setting up my cabinet (slowly but surely!). I have all the themes that I need for MAME and would also like some themes for Future Pinball? Does anyone know where there is any? I have the video snaps but no actual 'themes' ? Any pointers would be most appreciated. Thanks :-)

I recently noticed that when I'm playing any game and I accidentally touch the trackball it brings up the master volume and I'm trying to find the solution to just disable or put the command into another key configuration. Ive tried going to the slider menue and had no luck of turning off the option. Hopefully someone can help
