Hi guys! I'm calling on the experts here. Upon recently updating HL-3 to rocketlauncher I have noticed that the "filter roms only" feature in hyperhq seems broken. I am aware that during the rocketlauncher update some of the hyperhq settings regarding the launcher were changed. I can get the rom filter working if I re-enter the full path to the roms and put in the rom extension (for only ONE rom extension). However it doesn't work if I put in 2 rom extensions (e.g. tape and disk extension for spectrum). I am separating the extensions in hyperhq by a comma and it still doesn't work. Rocketlauncher seems to use both extensions at once. Has anyone got a fix? …

Hello again, I am in the process of updating my .xml database files and i am finding that some emulators are not recognizing as may roms as the old .xml files. Is this a naming issue, or are the entries just not included in the new .xml file? if it is a naming issue, are there tools to rename roms to match the names in the .xml file? Thanks in advance

Hi guys What needs to be done to have wheel sounds play? I have a NES wheel with a couple of hundred mp3 files in this folder: D:\HyperSpin\Media\Nintendo Entertainment System\Sound\Wheel Sounds The sounds play fine in HyperSpin. If I remove all of those sounds and replace with some WAVs I have created myself, they don't play. If I delete the WAVs and just pop in 1 or 2 of the original MP3 files I don't think they play. If I re-save the WAVs as MP3s they don't seem to play. Is there any documentation about this? I must be missing something or being daft! Do you need a certain number of sounds files in the folder? Do they have to be M…

This may be the wrong forum but I'm posting this on mobile and from a newly made account. Last year I created an account on hyperspins website and paid for a lifetime membership (I believe, it's been a year since I had to log back in). Well now when I try to login it tells me my account is waiting for approval and no further emails have been received or anything on my side. Is there something I may be doing wrong or is there an admin who can help? My display name on the acct in question is ashley1033. Thanks!

Morning Guys! I've reached out to y'all because I've hit a wall in setting up my HS!!! Seems like once I fix one issue, another comes up. So...I'm desperately asking if ANYONE of you much more experienced HS users/programmers could "Remotely Access" my computer and help me finish my setup as well as address the issues i'm having. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dakin

How can i stop WMP starting when Daemon Tools Mounts a Saturn Game..? Also the emu screen is taller than the Bezel, its ok at the top but is lower that than bezel, i have options set to Full Screen for Bezel and for SSF i notice you can adjust for this in an offset in the Module Setting but it just says make the number higher or lower and there is no number, so i don't know where my starting point is. And also the Bezels, Don't go to the bottom of the screen, my task bar is set on AutoHide but there's a small gap. Running Win 7 x64 The Last Hyperspin 3.? before it became Rocketlauncher And Hyperspin 1.3 not the new beta.

Hello, Recently discovered Hyperspin and... wow. I'm all in on this one. (Thank you to everyone here, I've picked up a lot thus far) However I have one bottleneck as I'm building. I'm not sure how much storage space that I'll need. I will try to download as many sets as I can find and I have my eyes on everything from Atari - PS2/Gamecube; possibly even the Wii down the line. (I really want an AIO if possible) Anyone out there that's actually done this and could chime in on how much space I'll need? Maybe even a guesstimate? 10 TB? 20 TB?.... 30 TB? Thanks in advance if anyone has any input.

I know this is the Hyperspin forums, but I made a frontend for my Capcom Big Blue cabinet, and I just thought I'd share it with others since it was so much work. Features: * Runs at any resolution (320x240 to 3840x2160 tested) * Works on 15khz arcade cabinet setups all the way through 4k resolution LCD monitors * Runs any commandline program and will not need to be updated to support any new emulator or game that comes out * Has 4:3 letterboxing for setups with widescreen monitors if that's what you're after * Includes a fully playable mini-game that 2 players can play to determine who gets control of the next game selection * Completely arbitrary game list order /…

Hi there! Is it possible to hide emulators until you press a certain key? My example is that I only want MAME to be visible, but if you press a certain shift key set up through an ipac, the other installed emulators appear. Thanks!

So with RocketLauncher's fades, I can display the genre while loading a game, which is very cool, but what I'd really like is to display genre while browsing the games in HyperSpin. That way when I have friends over, they can stop on a game, see what genre it is, and know whether they want to try it out. I see that I can make it display the game title, publisher, and the year already. Is there a way to do this?

Hi, HyperSpin newbie here. I'm prepping the software for the bits of my MAME cabinet in the mail on their way to me. Quick question. Is it possible to have the menu sounds mute themselves when attract mode kicks in? I'd like to be able to have the cabinet use attract mode like a screensaver for when I'm not playing, but only if it's not making random noises and playing music and audio from videos. Basically when I walk away, it keeps animations going on the screen to avoid burn-in, but doesn't blare away with sound.

I'm using two wireless xbox 360 controllers on one windows/microsoft wireless receiver on windows 10. I'm running MAME .153 with Hyperspin/Rocketlauncher. I've also added the XARCADE_XBox360x4 script to my ctlr folder in MAME. The controllers work fine in Hyperspin and if I'm only running one controller it works great. When I connect the second controller, it seems to override controller 1. I can play two players by hitting start on controller1, but when the game starts both players use the second controller I connected. I find this really weird because I'm using the XARCADE script and I thought that would send the JOYCODE 1 and JOYCODE 2 controls to the individ…

I have brought up in the past few months that HyperBase Live would be introduced soon. HyperBase Live is under full development. I wanted to take a moment to start a discussion about the new technology that is going to be offered as well as answer any questions related to it. HyperBase Live will be a direct replacement for HyperSync, the current HyperBase website and the Downloads section of hyperspin-fe.com. HyperBase Live will truly be the single repository for all media related to HyperSpin. We will house all wheel, box, themes, sounds, hyper launch media etc....you name it, we will have it. The HyperBase Live team consists of myself and Chris Jackson (fr0stbyt3).…

So ive set Future Pinball up and have all the roms (tables) set it all up in RL (poiniting to the correct folders) but it wouldnt find any roms in the audit, then I realised the names were not matching to the RL table names, so I renamed a couple identically (as I cut and pasted the correct names from RL) then tried an audit to see if it brought up the 2 tables i'd just renamed and it didnt. Im all out of ideas if anyone has any that can help, please please let me know. Ive added some pics of my file paths etc..

I'm trying to set up hyperspin and it's launching just fine from rocketlauncher. I changed the settings.ini file to reflect it using rocketlauncher (see Capture1.JPG) but for some reason I think it's still using hyperlaunch somewhere. I'm running Hyperspin 1.4.x.x. When I try to launch a game in hyperspin I get the first Capture.JPG screenshot. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi I'm a bit new but basically I'm up and running but I'm suddenly getting CTDs quite frequently. I used an install of hyperspin, rocket launcher and mame that I had on an external hard drive and then just changed the file locations where needed. I am now getting an issue where HS crashed hard to desktop and I dont have a taskbar either. I have followed a guide to prevent Windows 10 accidentaly going into tablet mode but the crashing persists. Also some module errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated and here some warnings from the RL logs. RIniLoadVar - Created missing Global ini key: "Fade_Click_Through " in section: "Fade" in "D:\RocketLauncher\Sett…
