Hi. I'm after a bit of help. I cant get into my amstrad games wheel from my hyperspin main menu. I just get sent back to the main menu. I have done some reading. I have checked I have the extensions right in HQ and rocketlauncher. My games are in dsk. I can launch a game from rocketlauncher. The HQ wheel setting is to roms only. I have the same settings I have for other consoles like Atari so I dont understand. Any ideas? The module notes for WinApe in RL said to make the games zip format but that didnt work either.

Hi all This is probably a very stupid question but I thought it was better to ask before I started replacing things... I'm currently building a cab with LEDBlinky and RGB buttons. Currently I am using individual emulators for all my systems. I'd only recently come across Retroarch but quite like the idea of only updating one system rather than many. My question is, does Retroarch play nicely with LEDBLinky? As far as I understood it, LEDBlinky distinguishes different systems based on the exe file but I might be wrong. If this is the case, how would LEDBlinky know which system was being launched and which buttons to light up? Thanks for any help you can give me. J…

Hello again everyone.... I posted this under the platinum member section but there seem to me smarter people in the general forum I recently found out about these two programs and it would be great to have them setup on my HTPC, and I would love to share a video of it all working once I get it figured out. The problem is that everyone ONLY shared videos of it all working and it seems as if there are no configuration videos/ pictorials to set it all up. Everyone on YouTube wants to show how great it is but no one shows how it was all accomplished. I watched the videos in the download section for each program but I am still a bit confused, or perhaps the language b…

I got a HyperSpin 1.2.0.0 set going a couple years ago and got it setup and running great on Windows XP. However I've needed to upgrade to Windows 10 and I have HyperSpin mostly working again (standard rom games), but CD based games don't run now. I tracked down the issue being the older version of daemon tools not having a compatible scsi driver in Windows 10. So I downloaded a newer 64-bit Windows 10 version of the needed drivers (SPTD2inst-v208-x64.exe) along with a newer deamon tools and was able to get magic engine working with a CD on its own. The real issue now is my version of HyperSpin doesn't seem to work with the newer deamon tools. I tried installing the…

There is a hotkey in the options that I have set yo hide the cursor, but is there a way to automatically do that when the emulator start? Perhaps the module can be edited to "press" that hotkey when the emulator opens? Thanks.

Hi Guys, So I have all my rom sets in place and they all audit in RL fine and I can launch them from RL no problem. Yet when I go to HS the games are not in my wheel? Any idea's what's wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, i have been following simply austins tutorials on youtube and things were running smooth until i got to the tutorial on installing MESS. I have followed him step by step but when i go to run a game through rocketlauncher i get about 20 seconds delay and then an error saying... 'There was an error waiting for the window "ahk_class MAME" to become active. Please check you have the correct version emulator installed for this module, followed any notes in the module, and have this emulator working outside your Frontend first. Also turn off Fade to see if you are hiding your problem.' Ive tried loads of things like using a more upto date version of MAME and MESS but st…

You guys have done a wonderful job on HyperSpin. I am greatly impressed. But, the following Themes are still needed for MAME coin-op games: Dogyuun Donpachi Dragon Saber ESPgaluda ESPgaluda II Galmedes Guardian Storm Hotdog Storm Ketsui: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi Lethal Thunder Magician Lord Mystic Riders Shanghai III Sidewinder Sorcer Striker Spin Master Twin Eagle II - The Rescue Mission UN Defence Force: Earth Joker Zero Zone When creating these themes, keep in mind each games orientation - landscape or portrait. The area of the theme that displays the game video should be the same as the game, either landscape or portrait. I have noticed that many of the themes a…

Had a couple of beers and I'm pretty certain I know the answer to this is no, but its more of a thinking out loud... As my system wheel gets bigger, I was thinking it might be nice to be able to group systems by manufacturer our category. So, say have a Nintendo / Sega / Atari wheel item, which underneath had the respective systems as usual. I'm guessing this is not possible... I was thinking that maybe something like this could be made to work by using multiple instances of HS... Definitely not elegant our even sensible maybe, but is there a cleaner way this might be achieved? It's not something I plan to do, and I'm not even sure I want to do it, but thought it migh…

Hi Everyone I've been trying to get Hyperspin to work with the GLSL shaders in mameuifx 0.163 for a while now with no success. It runs perfectly when I run mameuifx outside of Hyperspin, but from inside the frontend it seems like Hyperspin is ignoring the settings and plays the games without any scanlines etc. Anyone got any ideas what might be the problem? Thanks

K so my cab been running for awhile, old hyperspin with hyperlaunch HQ. Sell me on the rocketlauncher and how YOU think it's improved your setup. I'd like to upgrade but def not looking fwd to setting everything up again. I do have my emulators/roms pretty organized.. When upgrading I can just re-organize my file structure when setting up the emulators again? Launcher looks like it's pretty much the same for the most part as far as setting up the emulators etc.

It appears that the default skin in HyperSpin is set up for landscape (horizontal mode) games. Because of this, games that are in portrait mode, like most of the shoot'em ups, look really bad. I am building a MAME arcade for just the portrait (vertical mode) games. Is there a skin for HyperSpin that is designed to display the videos of portrait games well? I will also build a second MAME arcade just for the landscape games, so, the default skin will work well for those games. Thank you for your help, guys
