Nvm, it appears the RetroArch module is outdated and has a few lines that need to be deleted. Specifically these: """ -s """ . srmPath.FilePath . "\" . romName . ".srm"" -S """ . saveStatePath.FilePath . "\" . romName . ".state""" .

I thought wheel's would work the same way as the systems menu - the order in the XML is the display order. But this doesnt seem to be the case - my games are showing up Alphabetically based upon the <description> tag (it appears) Obviously this tag is used for display too, so don't want to change that to get the order right, and I tried messing with index and it seems to be just for the letter selection... Anyone help? Thanks

I've enjoyed the (awesome) official HyperSpin tutorials and have gone through setting it up with RocketLauncher, as well as loading, renaming and auditing my ROMs. Now, I'm at the point where I'd like to start using HyperSpin but am confused about a few things... * I'm not using every gaming system in RocketLauncher, so can I delete (or better yet, hide) those systems that I don't need? * I've audited my games in RocketLauncher, but how do I now tell HyperSpin to only show me the games that I actually have? * I'll be running this on a Windows 7x64 home theater PC, and just purchased an 8bitdo SNES30 controller. I've also purchased a Bluetooth adapter. This is …

Hi, I'm a new hyperspinner learning the ropes. I ran into the spinning menus bug in hyperspin which is caused by enabling joysticks in hyperHQ. The problem is that I exclusively use joysticks for couch gaming and already have all of my emulators and pc games setup to use the wireless Xbox 360 controllers. I have tried to use joytokey to setup a profile in rocketlauncher but it hasn't worked very well. I've searched all over teh place and haven’t found a fix. Is there a way to map my Xbox 360 control to emulate keyboard keys only in the Hyperspin menu? I want the Xbox control to go back to normal when I launch an emulator or game.

So I have a computer in the family room that I stream games to from my more powerful desktop using STEAM's inhome streaming. It works very well. You can stream STEAM games, but also add ANY game to the STEAM library and stream that too (even if not purchased via STEAM or even if not available on STEAM). I'm considering trying to stream Hyperspin to the living room PC. A bit of an Inception setup with emulators within hyperspin within steam streaming to a 2nd PC with steam lol.I just wondered if anyone had tried this and had any luck with it? Either way I'll post my results when I get around to it eventually.

Hi everyone, Need the hyperspin community to give me a hand! I was playing my mame cabinet where I got this error message.

Hi All, I have setup mame and hyperspin on my main computer and it works a treat! I am in the process of building my first arcade cabinet, the cabinet is built so i recently purchased a second hand desktop to go inside. The main difference between this desktop and my main PC is that his desktop only has onboard graphics. Originally through MAMEuifx when I tried to run a game I would be able to hear it but have a blank screen. I resolved this by changing the video mode to OpenGL - works fine. But when I try loading a game through rocketlauncherui it reverts back to the blank screen with sound. Can anybody shed some light on this for me please?.?

Hi Guys, I'm really struggling to filter down the MAME 0.176 XML to the following: - Games with 3 buttons or less - Games with 4 buttons or more I've tried all versions of HyperTools, including Mr. Sparkles updated release, as well as RomLister. RomLister comes close, but seems to be missing games. For example, it didn't include dkong when I tried to create an XML with 3 buttons or less. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? Reeeally want to update from 160, but completely stuck. Thanks!

So I'm getting a few systems setup and before I get too far want to make sure I'm using the best emulator for my preferred controllers and need advice on purchase & setup. My aim is to have both my X-Arcade (2 player) and 2 x wireless controllers working. MAME I would like to use my X-Arcade for most MAME games, however I also want to be able to use 2 wireless controllers for some MAME games. CONSOLES All I want is 2 x wireless controllers that are easy to setup (good compatibility) with RetroArch and ideally Project64. I also own a couple of PS3 controllers and years ago played around with a driver "MotionInJoy" or something (worked with straight emus like …

Hi all, I've recently purchased a cabinet that I'm looking to run Hyperspin on once it's delivered and I need a bit of help with the PC build itself as I'm not sure how much oomph I need. I'm looking at running MAME/arcade games as well as emulators up to PS1, maybe Dreamcast. It'll be a dedicated computer so I won't be playing any PC games or anything else on it. I've been looking at different forums, on eBay for used PCs, PcPartPicker for new builds but I keep getting different info. I don't want to spend more than £300 if I can help it as I know I won't be using this PC fr anything other than Hyperspin. I'm in the UK if that helps, really looking forward to…

I get the following error trying to launch: "error waiting for the window "ahk_class MAME" it basically hangs, not sure why. I put all the contents of the emulator into the "Emulators" directory in hyperspin... I copied in another emulator from Simp…
