Finally got around to setting up my Spectrum games but I'm having issues with Spectaculator 8. After a few minutes of play, the game will freeze and spectaculator will minimize to the desktop. I can still press Alt-Tab or click the taksbar icon and the game will resume. I'm using Windows 8.1. I've tried compatibility mode and running as administrator, uninstalling and re-installing Spectacultor and nothing seems to solve the issue. This happens outside hyperspin as well so it's not an issue with hyperspin. Does anyone have this problem? Also, is there a way to reset the emulator settings to default or delete the config file? Seems like after re-installing, it still ret…

Hi. I'm relatively new to setting the software so please forgive me if the question is relatively simple. I've setup Hyperspin (MAME only) with approximately 150 games. The themes, ROMs etc are perfectly fine and when connecting a keyboard all function as they should. Based on this I'd say MAME and Hyperspin are performing as they should and setup correctly. Next step is connecting my Mini-Pac to the controller I've made. Once again quite simple compared to others. It has 6 buttons, a Mag Stik Plus joystick, Spintrak spinner, Player 1 and 2 buttons and a single coin button. When all connected and checking against the interactive designer it would appear they are all conn…

Hi Everyone. Been quite a struggle trying to get HS working for me but system by system I'm slowly getting there. Thought many times to just go with Maximus because it's so damn easy to set up but it just doesn't have the wow factor that hyperspin does. Anyways...getting everything setup through HyperlaunchHQ and when I do a game audit for SNES all but one show as missing. Figured maybe my game list was different than the hyperspin game list so tried to do my own XML. This has worked fine for my MAME collection. What happens when I create a SNES XML file is doesn't look like a XML file when I open it, it looks like this: Instead of the typical My game list is …

I'm pretty sure this is a simple fix but obviously I don't know how to fix it. Lets use 1942 as an example. 1942 works using mameui. No files are missing. The game runs perfect. Then if I use hyperspin to launch the game it says certain files are missing. Very few games actually work in hyperspin. What is the best way to fix this? Am I missing something?

I can not quite understand how the Commodore 64 is supposed to be set up with roms. The default XML from HyperList Online seems to be 527 games only, based on TOSEC. The just finished database is 8076 games: http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?28260-Database-Commodore-64 The tosec package from 2014-02-28 has a lot more then 8076 games, mostly dupes. Where can I find the xml with 8076 games in it? Once I have that, I can make a script to match the roms from the tosec package and only copy the ones included in the XML to HyperSpin\Roms\Commodore 64. Thanks!

As title, I'm trying to setup Kat5200. It works perfectly except I can't get it to run fullscreen. I'm playing on a 1080p plasma. I've tried ticking all different boxes and different resolutions but none will display in fullscreen. Best I get is a box in the middle taking up about 20% of the total screen size which is impossible to play from the sofa! Someone MUST have this running fullscreen???

I all, I've spent quiet a while looking around for a fix to an issue I seem to be having that involves TurboGrafx running on PCE. I'm using HyperLaunch3 and Magic Engine 1.1.3, which is specified as the test emulator in the module ank for HyperLaunchHQ. Hyperspin launches opens ROMs, but I seem to have this issue where everything seems to be running at x2 the speed it should be. I thought maybe it was bad ROMs and I tried downloading several different games, but they all seem to emulate quick. Is there anyone who has any pointers to give me on this issue, or what is causing it?

Quick question, does anyone know how to get Model 2 fullscreen without aspect correction? I still get black bars on the sides, even after changing the module settings along with putting a custom resolution in the emulator .ini as well. Am I missing something? Thanks

Hello. When I exit the emulator NullDC crashes, this is not a big issue (it seems to be a known bug with purupuru), I set an auto send "Space" command in the module so I never really get to see the crash dialog. The problem is it blanks my pad configurations, only the keymappings, the rest (plugins, etc) is fine. Does anybody experience the same? I guess I can ultimately make an auto copy command from a backup file each time I exit the emulator but really would like to have it fixed. Here my nullDC.cfg [nullDC] Dynarec.Enabled=1 Dynarec.DoConstantPropagation=1 Dynarec.SafeMode=1 Dynarec.UnderclockFpu=0 Dreamcast.Cable=0 Dreamcast.RTC=2030303078 Dreamcast.Region=1 Dre…

I'm having a really tough time getting WinVice to load up in Hyperspin. I followed the guide here But I'm still getting this error. I can open the emulator up in Windows and load the few games that I have extracted from the zip files, but trying to launch the emulator in Hyperlauncher HQ or Hyperspin itself throws up this error. Anyone got a clue on what I am doing wrong? Also I wanted to make sure that I am doing this right, I need to have the games extracted right? so instead of .zip it has to be extracted and renamed to the XML file name and then the .d64 or .t64 right?

Basic question, mostly out of sheer curiosity, like the title says, what systems are you using Mess and Mednafen with? Other than curiosity, I ask mostly because I'm always trying to streamline things, and try to run my setup with as few emulators as possible, and I'd like to hear opinions why you would use either of them over other emulators. My setup is like this currently: MESS: Atari 7800 ColecoVision SNK Neo Geo CD Mednafen: Atari Lynx Nintendo Virtual Boy SNK Neo Geo Pocket Color Sony Playstation In fact, if you prefer other emulators over MESS or Mednafen for any of the systems I listed above, I'd love to hear why. (Except PS1, I've tried a lot of PS1 em…

I've got a quick question about MAME I'm hoping someone can answer. I've recently updated my MAME version to 1.48, and my rom set to 1.48 (merged, 7zipped - love the space savings). So when I run MAME and use the built in GUI - I can't find dkongX (jumpman 2: donky kong 2). It just doesn't show up in the list. But from the command line I can run "mame dkongx" and the game fires right up - so I've obviously got the rom (which I thing is considered a CLONE in MAME terms?). Can someone explain why the GUI won't show this game? there are a couple others it does this with too. thanks

Could someone give me advice on how the mapping should be for most games and fighting games in MAME? If anyone can share their thoughts on L3, R3, etc etc that would be most appreciated. I'm also thinking of mapping select+start as the exit button and still need a brilliant idea to map the hyperpause(+) to a nice button combo. Most Games: X = Button 1 Y = Button 2 A = Button 3 B = Button 4 LB = Button 5 RB = Button 6 LT = Button 7 RT = Button 8 Fight-games: I set it to X, Y and LB as the first three buttons (punches) and A, B and RB as the second three (kicks). L3 = ?? R3 = ?? Start = Start? Back/Select = Coin? L Analog = Main Stick R Analog = ??? D…

I have experimented with both PJ64 1.6 and the new latest version that was taken over development from the old team (2.1.0.1). I am torn between which should actually be my primary emulator for N64. I find that the newer version has a better display driver (up scaling things to HD is nice in the newer version by default). However, the frame rate is MUCH slower on many games that in 1.6. A noticeable drop is seen when I play the same game in both emulators. One of the main reasons I upgraded to the newest version in the first place was because my video card couldn't run Glide (however, I'm in the process of upgrading to a GTX series Nvida card soon). So what would people…

Hi, I used to run a realy old beta version of HS but had it all set up nicely. I've recently updated to the latest version and there's a compatability issue cropped up. Using the old method (as long as the filenames matched exactly), I could load in "Wheelart" (from the media/wheelart folder), "background" art (from the "media/backgrounds" folder) and videos (from the "media/videos folder"). In the new version, wheelart works but I can't see how to load in "videos" or "background art". Do I have to make a theme for each rom? Thanks eg: In the "settings" file, the old version had a [video defaults] and all the [artwork defaults] but the new one's a lot more streamlin…

Hi I updated to the new version of Demul, 0.582 won't recognize my controller for some reason so I have to use 0.581. Does anyone know what the options under graphics settings do? Specifically max layers and internal resolution settings. I have tried different combinations of these and it seems to run fine with internal resolution x2 and max layers 64, but if I try and turn the internal resolution up further it doesn't work. Is max layers 64 necessary or can i turn this down? I have a laptop with sli gtx 880m and i7 4900 cpu. Many thanks
