Hello guys, i'm trying to run PS1 games from hyperspin, but it doesn't work for some reason... I've been using Retroarch to play PS1 games, which have been working great, but ePSXe gives me more options to configure the graphics and make it look better... Now my problem is that everytime when i configure the video settings in ePSXe, and launch it from the program it works great... However, everytime when i try to launch it from Rocketlauncher or Hyperspin it gives me this error: "Missing render texture extension" and "No pixel format available" and it crashes Now, i do know how to fix this problem, and to do so you just configure and change the "Streching mode…

Hi guys, I am fairly new to the whole Hyperspin world but I have been working on it now in my spare time for the past couple of months with the intntions to eventually build a cabinet. I am quite stuck with a problem with Sony Playstation 1 games through retro arch where the frame rate completely drops and the games lag quite bad leaving it barley playable. Has anybody encountered this problem before and know of a fix? It happens on all games that I have tried but is allot more noticeable on past paced games such as 'Marvel Super hero's' and 'Street Fighter' I have a high end PC so it can't really be be that. I have tried countless different settings but noth…

I just got my Recroommasters cabinet built and running hyperspin and mame. When I am playing games, if you hit certain two player buttons they seem to be doing something (moving up/down in wheel) in hyperspin and it minimizes mame. Really annoying. Why is hyperspin responding at all when I'm in mame and how can I fix this issue? Thanks!

This may seem like a stupid question, but... I can get the snaps (no problem) I can get the box to show too (no problem) but how do I also have the cart show... so that on the left is the snap, in the middle is the box and then the cart on the right... I have seen this in many videos but no'one says how they did it. Thanks your help is appreciated.

I can start games in RocketLauncher.exe and RocketLauncherUI.exe, but I can't get them going in hyperspin. I changed my settings.ini to the correct path of D:\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncher.exe but It just sits there laughing at me when I hit enter. I can hit enter to get into selecting MAME, but when I try it for a game, nope.

The 'official' GameCube database was driving me crazy. I don't mean to step on any toes, now that I know how much work it is to put together a database, but it was inaccurate. Very inaccurate. The publisher of the game should be the standard for the 'manufacturer,' not the developer. People notice the name on the box. The developer, while nice information to have, is secondary. So I made it my mission to redo the entire <manufacturer> section. The database I've completed is very accurate now. The name on the box is the name in the manufacturer field. If the name is EA Sports, I don't list it as Electronic Arts, I list it as EA Sports. If it is listed as Ubi Soft …

Scoured the forums and couldn't find a solution, hoping someone can help. Running Windows 10 with GTX 1060 card and Intel core i7-6700 (MSI Trident machine with video and sound over HDMI through Nvidia card). Launching Hyperspin is fine, everything works great. When I turn off the monitor/sound connection, and then turn back on the system Hyperspin works fine (launches games) but there is no sound and videos freeze. I've tried: 1.) Running Hyperspin in compatibility mode of Windows 7 and Windows XP as Admin. 2.) Right clicking on a flash video in Internet Explorer and disabling Flash "hardware acceleration". 3.) Changed every power setting I c…

Edit: It appears that wikipedia already has a 'players' column, so I will just use that. Not sure how I missed that.

Hi all, I am creating just one arcade wheel on my setup, with as many emulated arcade games as possible on it. To me this is preferable than having them split across seperate wheels for manaufatures and/or systems. Naturally MAME would be the base, and used wherever possible, and I was going to use Phulsoff's unofficial 0.168 database with mahjong and casino removed. I would need to update as each new mame version comes out - hopefully Phulsoff will continue his great work in providing XMLs. Below are some assumptions I have made with regards to the other Arcade Emulators and databases out there, please feel free to comment or correct me on them: My understandin…

Hey Everyone. I gathered together all the available work for Zelda Game's and placed it into one wheel. I'll post it in a week or two if anyone is interested in using it. The pack is of existing themes and wheels, the database was fairly quick and easy to put together. 300+ random wheel sounds and 5 or 6 random sounds for wheel enter and exit. I made a few random game themes to fill the void; some turned out O.K. some were rushed and not the best, nor intended to be top tier quality, just having some fun. I will not be offended if someone would like to create some better themes or make alternates for people to use. Feel free and post them below. You can do…

I'm stumped.... Mame works in rocklauncherUI. When I boot hyperspin I can select & open a game. When I exit a game & go back to the wheel I can maneuver through hyperspin but it will not let me open another game. I need to restart the computer and it will do the same thing. i can enter & exit games in rocket launcher at will. What did I miss? Hopefully this makes sense.

Just wondering if there is any sort of fix for hyper HQ crashing on Windows 10? Other than running in compatability mode which I find still crashes but lasts a bit longer.

Hi there. New to Hyperspin. I have gone through the videos and set up Hyperspin, Rocket Launcher, and my first emulator Nestopia for NES. When I run the rom through Nestopia only, the gameplay appears to work fine and the sound works fine. Now when I open up Hyperspin. The intro and videos have sound on them. However, when I open up the game through Hyperspin, the gameplay works, but there is no sound. in fact, the sound on my entire system stops. I have checked the sound mixer, and that doesn't appear to be the problem. Anyone else experience this? Any solutions? Should I just try a different emulator? Thanks all!

Hi All So simply put...., when I run a rom through "MAME" emulator, the sound works.....When I launch a mame rom through Rocket Launcher, the sound works. But if I start from Hyperspin, and I select a game "rom", the game is launched with no sound. Not only that, I have no sound at all on my computer until I close both MAME and Hyperspin. I can't even run a video on youtube at all until i close hyperspin. This has nothing to do with the sound mixer as nothing shows as muted when i open it while running hyperspin and mame. And has nothing to do with muted faders (since it seems to work fine when launched from rocketlauncher). Note: I had the same is…

Hello Guys, I am currently in the process of building my dream arcade, and would first like to thank everyone that worked on this great program. I recently ran into an issue where I had Hyperspin working perfectly on my windows 8.1 machine. I decided to bring the external drive downstairs and hooked it up to my windows 10 laptop, everything worked seamlessly I was Cleaning up my mame roms when I decided to check how the wheel looked in Hyperspin. When I open hyperspin I can press the start button on the xbox controller and it enters the main wheel. after that it completely stops working. I replaced the settings.ini file and that did not work. I checked the logs and I get …

Hi all, I unsuccessfully tried to find an answer to this - hoping for some help. I recently bought a new computer, and I'm working through transferring my Hyperspin setup to it. I can no longer navigate through the Hyperspin menu. Using Device Manager, I've confirmed that the controller is working fine. It also works fine in MAME and RocketLauncher (I set up one of the buttons to exit an emulator). I also checked Hyper HQ. I remapped the controller in Controls>Joystick>Player 1, and made sure I checked the "Enabled" box. And here's the really weird part. When I enter Hyperspin, the introductions starts. I can cut it short by pressing a button o…

Hi, Recently I accidentally removed my hard drive from my computer, and it caused the computer to suddenly power off. Thankfully, nothing happened when I inserted the hard drive back into the computer and powered it on, except it apparently updated, which took quite longer than it should. This may have nothing to do with the drive being removed, though. Unfortunately, I have HyperSpin on this computer. When I tried running the program, it lagged much more than it did before I removed the drive, and when I ran the games, they lagged too. I have tried defragmenting my drive, but HyperSpin continues to lag just as much. Is there anything I can do to hopefully speed up H…
