Welcome to the official Hyperspin forums. I just want to make a couple of points that may save everyone some time. This site (hyperspin-fe.com) is the ONLY place to get Hyperspin. There is NO such thing as an authorized retailer. NO other site has been given permission to distribute Hyperspin in any way. If you acquired a "setup" in one of these ways, please consult them for support. We are not here to diagnose why these shoddy setups don't work. So support here is mainly geared toward the people who are actually setting all this up. We expect at least some knowledge about using emulators, setting up controls, and what other programs you may be using and why. No…

It appears that the 1.3.3.0 version of HyperSpin is causing a few issues for our newer members. Version 1.3.3.0 comes with the older version 2 of HyperLaunch in the root of HyperSpin and also contains the older modules. If you have an older set up or you know your way around this version, then please go ahead and use it. If however you've never used HyperSpin before and you want to be able to follow the new guides etc then here's what you need to do. Download HyperSpin from the downloads section. Download HyperLaunch from here. Follow a guide to install the software, either this guide or follow a video .If when you run HyperLaunch HQ you see no systems in the left…

I've uploaded these to the tutorial section and archived them in my off-topic thread but now that they're fully blessed I'll be posting updates in this thread as the project unfolds. In response to demand from the community, Sub-Zero and I are working hard to bring you a polished guide to HyperSpin setup and customization. These first few episodes might not have much to offer most of you folks already on the forums but we'll be taking an overall logical approach to the series. The next few episodes will be focused on helping newcomers with actually getting properly setup to run the different types of basic core systems (ie. rom-based console, disc-based console, rom/chd b…

Hello Hyperspin Users, I wanted to start this as a new topic as suggested so it was not buried in a thread somewhere and could help and assist hyperspin users out. So recently some of you may have been experiencing slow and lagging hyperspin. Recently with some new updates to our anti virus programs such as Windows Defender or Microsoft Security Essentials etc. that we are using, they have classified hyperspin.exe as a virus or malaware which is not true. And upon doing so this is causing our hyperspin to run very slow or lagging. A solution to fix this is to go into your anti virus software such as Windows Defender and add an exclusion or exception to h…

EDIT 01-May-2015: Updated to reflect some progress being made by Bill with the v1.4 beta, and update the links. Still a work in progress though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HyperSpin has a few quirks that can trip up new users, so please check the list below before asking for help or posting a bug report. This is not a complete userguide or FAQ, just an overview of the common problems that crop up frequently on the forum, but let me know if I've missed anything obvious and I'll update this post. 1 - [FIX…

HyperTheme's blank screen is a known issue and is being worked on, among other stuff. For now, let's check what causes the blank screen. Basically, the way HyperTheme works today, it checks if there's a MAME\Themes folder under the Media directory, if that doesn't exists, it will be blank, that's usually because we tend to have Arcade Classics instead of a MAME folder. By just creating two empty folders under Media, which are MAME and inside it Themes: It will work as it should:

On a specific Wheel (of several), I`m currently not able to skip forward (push joy to the right) to the next letter of games. Also, on going left (backwards), it always goes straight to A. This used to work fine on all wheels, it still does on the other wheels, and I don`t understand what`s wrong on that specific wheel. Does anyone have any idea on this issue? I didn`t find any configuration that would enable or prevent this behavior. Thank you!

Hi all! for years it seemed necessary to manipulate back and forth different XML structures with a number of tools that now mostly are obsolete. Coming across @r0man0`s full list approach I`m wondering, whether that has now changed? While not perfect, I seem to be able to generate a full list of current MAME version 0.284b, with a lot of detail to each game, and directly stuff it into Hyperspin in expected format. My question: is there a reason why I would now strip that full list to just the ROMs I have? Or does Hyperspin simply only show the games for which there is a Wheel logo available, and so I could just ensure I match the Wheel logos and other artwo…

I am running MAME 0.281. When I launch mame.exe and then launch a game from the UI, it reads the mame.ini file in my MAME folder (same location as mame.exe). I can see scanlines and my other settings are there. When I launch via Hyperspin (click on Hyperspin.exe), I get my same list of games with the wheel, snaps, etc. that are showing as "Available" in MAME but when I launch a game from there, the mame.ini file is not being read (no scanlines showing up, etc.). I have my mame.ini file in Hyperspin\Emulators\MAME folder with the mame.exe, roms folder and everything else. Is there somewhere else that Hyperspin/RocketLauncher is looking for mame.ini? I can't find …

I am using Hyperspin 1.5.1 and Rocket Launcher 1.2.0.1. I set everything up years ago and its been working great in my cab with no issues. I just upgraded my CPU and went to Windows 11 25H2 from Windows 10. Now, I get a command prompt showing up on the screen as shown in the pictures. I have googled but am unable to find reference to my issue. Needless to say it never used to. I have tried many setting changes but am unable to hide or minimize the command prompt. I was finally able to shrink the prompt and hide at the bottom underneath the mame window. The problem is that I still see it when closing out a game. I would like to hide it, or minimize it like before…

Hello, I have a strange issue: Hyperspin sends out the Game stop event a couple of seconds after I press the game start button. I use EDS and Hypermarquee and I thought it was an EDS issue, but looking at the hyperspin log file I can see that hyperspin is the one who sends out the Game stop event. Everything else works great, the game/emulator starts and exit as expected, but the Game stop event occours always a couple of seconds after I press the start button, long before the emulator even started. Any idea of what is happening? Is there an option in the hyperspin configuration that I miss? Many thanks!

So I have no idea what im doing but every time I load a wii game through hyperspin my wii remote doesn't work but if I load the game directly through dolphin it works perfectly fine. I just want to know how I can set up my wii remote and maybe some other controllers in the future because as of right now it almost seems like its not possible.

Hyperspin 1.5.1 RocketLauncher 1.2.0.1 MAME (uifx version .175) XPadder Windows 11 (Acer laptop) Playing in a MAME cabinet with XinMo button/joystick controllers. Hi. I successfully set everything up with MAMEUIFX .175 and RocketLauncher and HyperSpin and everything worked perfectly. For several days even. Then when launching gtfore06 (Golden Tee 2005 complete) I exited out of the emulator because sometimes it picks a really large bezel and the effective screen size of MAME is much smaller. I was just intending to re-launch the game, but it didn't work correctly. MAME did launch, but the screen never switched from the fade screen to MAME. I h…

After wondering why Hyperspin wouldnt launch at all after installing this update - I tried various things to fix it. Only after un-installing this update did Hyperspin start working again. So I then re-installed the update - Hyperspin broke again. Un-installed once more - back working. Confirmed this windows update has a problem.

I'm really struggling to get a few PC games working on my machine. I think I've tried all the how-to guides, but now I'm stumped. I have a Subwheel setup and have been trying to get the PC game Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection to work using JoyToKey for key mapping. However, everything I’ve tried doesn’t seem to map the keys properly. I already have key mappings set up for Hyperspin, and I tried to load the PC game which needs a mapping, then match that game specifically, and afterwards drop back to the Hyperspin keyboard mapping. At this stage, I still can't get the game to respond to JoyToKey. I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction, any help…

Hi folks, A few years back I got a new PC and ported everything over. I never got Hyperspin to work on my PC and I didn't really worry about it. Now I've downloaded the new version and can't get it to run either. I figure since I'm going to be uploading themes and playing around with it I should take teh time to figure this out. It's been a while since I've been here so I'm not sure what info you need to help me. I click Hyperspin and nothing happens. I'm not sure if I have the wrong path or what... lol

I just bought a Hyperspin USB Drive with the intention of playing arcade games on my computer. However I really could use some help with getting it setup running into some issues. I'm not a big tech person but I understand enough to be dangerous. However the last Hyperspin USB Drive I bought was literally plug and play this one apparently needs some setup before it functions correctly. Any help would be great. Thanks

I have a hyperspin (from arcade punks) with retroarch on Android Nvidia Shield Pro. When loading any N64 games i get an error saying "attempting to launch invalid emulator: org.mpuen6plusae.v3.fzurita". I have downloaded all cores in RetroArch and tested it by loading a game within RetroArch which works, but I dont know how to update Hyperspin to use this core. There were some apk that came with hyperspin package that I also installed, but the problem remains. What do I need to update in Hyperspin to fix this problem, and load the N64 games with the correct emulator?

I am new to the forum, new to hyperspin setup, but not to new to computers. I have had this mame full height console when it was originally run on windows98 and a large tube monitor. I wish I could remember when I bought this system. In 2018 I needed to replace the pc. I bought a new system with hyperspin loaded. For the most part it was plug and play. I replaced the monitor, and I believe the trackball and controller. It has worked up until this month. The track ball works fine, I can play centipede. The joystick only goes down and left. The 1 player or coin button doesn't work. If I load, say 1941, with the keyboard I can move about with the arrow keys, or the joystick …
