Hi HSFE, I was wondering something stupid : is there a way to launch a wheel with an XML or batch file ? The idea is to create a wheel, hide it from main menu, but call it trought a script. This could be an easy way to create (fake but working) sub-menu using only one instance of Hyperspin and easy to setup : Main Menu - Wheel A (for example « TV show ») - Sub wheel A1 (for example « Breaking Bad ») —> execute script that launch Wheel B - Sub wheel A2 (for example « Bay Watch ») —> execute script that launch Wheel X - Wheel B hidden - Sub wheel B1 (for example « Season 1) …

Hello. I discovered the console emulation systems a couple days ago from a youtube video. I wanted to install one with many games in my rpi 3b+, but then I saw that not even the rpi 4b could handle the ps2 games and I had to get an old pc to emulate that. But then I thought I could somehow install one of this systems with a new SSD in my pc and select the different drive at boot and stream to the TV with the rpi 3b+ and maybe I could have another micro sd to use the rpi 3b+ as a portable console emulator. So then I began looking for what I would need to install in the SSD but all I saw where videos describing the themes and the number of games per console of the…

Hi everyone, Doing my first ever cabinet and its great to be part of the community. I'm up to learning about Hyperspin and Rocketlauncher and watching the tutorial videos, but I can see that Rocketlauncher hasn't been updated since 2015. Also the intro videos here are from 2016, before it seems it was clear that Rocketlauncher stopped development, so before I go down this path I just want to make sure that Hyperspin and Rocketlauncher is still the best practice. I'll be running on a 40" widescreen TV on a Viewlix style cabinet. Computer Specs: Core i5 (10th Gen) 16GB DDR Ram Geforce 1650 GTX 500GB SSD (plan to add more) If releva…

Hello all, Hope you are all safe and sound during these trying times! I am receiving the below errors when attempting to launch a Colecovision game from Hyperspin. 1. Colecovision is an invalid system name or blueMSX.exe isn't supported yet. 2. Cannot find rom - C:\Hyperspin\Colecovision\BlueMSX\roms\Dig Dug (USA) (proto) with any provided extension. I have attached a log file, not sure if that's the correct log or if it will be of any help, but that's the only log I found in the Hyperspin folder with a recent timestamp. Thanks in advance! Happy Gaming everyone! log.txt

Title pretty much says it all. I have a test hyperspin build and a "prod" hyperspin build that i run a file copy against to sync test and prod. Currently I have the Settings.ini file excluded so it doesn't mess with the prod build. But I would prefer not to exclude this file if possible. I have been trying to set the Hyperlaunch_Path param as a relative path instead of static, but it doesn't seem to like it. Am I just not doing it right and this should work? or just not possible?

Hello I am brand new with little knowledge. I recently purchased a hyperspin preloaded hard drive which I now have in a PC that is in a game cabinet hooked up to a tankstick controller. I need help get the tankstick to work correctly with hyperspin. If someone could help me that would be great. Please note I am very ignorant to this whole process. So require step by step. I thought I had saw tankstick listed as an option in a video prior to buying the hard drive. Guess I thought I would just be able to click on it or something like that. Lol Thanks

Hi all I have just acquired access to a 8TB Cloud drive provided by ArcadeSystems.co.uk which contains all the files needed to access over 300 systems and 90,000 games.. I followed the instructions to the point when it wanted me to map a d: drive. I already have a physical D: installed with Apps and Data and not clear on what I need to do to next as it's not fully clear to me in the guide provided. I emailed for support but was wondering if anyone is using this service and might be able to explain a bit more to me about how I can get this to work correctly. Thanks

I recently bought a pre-built cabinet (mostly because I have no DIY or wiring skills) that runs HyperSpin. It is setup to only run MAME, and it appears that HyperHQ is set to run as a single cabinet, so when I load Hyperspin it loads straight into the MAME game list. Doing some hunting through the files I discovered that the setup also includes a huge volume of emulators and roms that aren't being used (everything from NES to Sega Naomi). I've managed to get these emulators setup and running games via RocketLauncher; I've even got the AimTrak working on most of them. However, no matter what I try I can't seem to add the emulators into the existing wheel. I've…

Hey everyone, It’s been a while since I booted up my arcade, and I went to do it to play with my daughter and after the hitting the 1p button to skip the intro it takes me to select a system. I pushed my arcade stick down and it’s scrolls indefinitely. I quite out by ending the process, went back in and used my keyboard and it did the same thing. I checked my controllers settings for the arcade sticks and buttons and it is all setup properly, and I’m not sure what else to do?! Thanks in advance!

I am finally getting back to this project. I have hs running with daphne fine. I can set up a computer monitor and it runs fine at 640x480, 800x600 or higher in XP and looks great. However, i have a ultimarc arcadevga vid card to run this on a G07 crt monitor. So all seems to function, and i set windows to 320x240 to run it on my dell lcd which can do that resolution just to test it, with the idea to then switch to the arcade monitor and install into the dragons lair cab. But in testing it on the dell a couple issues. 1) the hyperspin menu looks horrible and very chunky and distorted. How do i change the interface to run at this 320x240 resolution and look clea…

I have my MAME set up to close completely when I press player 1&2 start at the same time. Some emulators I’m using though, don’t allow that and I don’t want a separate close hotkey for each emulator. Obviously RocketLauncher has the ability to launch emulators using the spin wheel, is there a way to set it up to close all the emulators with a global hotkey?

So about 5 years ago I had a hyperspin arcade pedestal built by someone. It worked great on my samsung tv that is about 10 years old. I recently renovated my home including my tv’s. For some reason, on the new TVs, both new Samsung’s, once a game is selected in MAME the rom loads and is zoomed in on the upper left part of the game. This makes playing any game in mame impossible. NES and snes seem to work fine but genesis is slightly zoomed in but it’s enough to make it unusable as well. This doesn’t however happen on my older Samsung. Everything runs fine. My guess is my arcade being older can’t communicate with modern Samsung smart tech? Any ideas?

Hello All, Hope you are doing well! I am running Hyperspin 1.3.2 but it will not launch on a Win 10 machine build (19041.630). 1. Is there a patch for this and if so, can you please point me to it? 2. If there is no patch, can you please advise how I can get Hyperspin back up and running on this and other Win 10 machines? 3. If I need to rebuild Hyperspin from scratch to the latest version, I may be interested in downloading a prebuilt build from the Hyperspin site. Can you please advise as to how I would go about that? Thank you very much in advance! Happy Gaming everyone!

Does anyone have Pinball FX3 on their Hyperspin? I have a pedestal style machine connected to a tv via HDMI. Tried to play Pinball FX3 and the buttons don't work. Plugged in a keyboard and can now use the flippers using the shift keys. Is there any way to play this without the keyboard? Another thing, I've noticed with this and another pinball game that there is a fraction of a second delay when hitting the flippers, which makes it hard to time hitting the ball properly. Is this an issue with all Pinball games on hyperspin or is it just my machine?

Hi, As part of the refresh on my old arcade box, I suddenly though...."Light Guns" 😁..... So I've seen there is the Ultimarc guns, but are there any others that people would recommend, or are these the best to go with, and any other suggestions recommendations with gun(s) setup etc? One of my all time fav's was Point Blanc, I'd love to be able to play that again. Cheers again.

Hi, I'm a newbie to hyperspin and have recently downloaded the latest version of Hyperspin (1.5.1). I've upgraded to platinum and spent hours setting everything up with different emulators and downloading all of the video files via Hypersync to make it look great. Absolutely everything was working fine, hyperspin opens, I can navigate through all the wheels, load games etc, all perfect. Suddenly this morning, Hyperspin (and Hyper HQ) won't run at all. I can see both of them in the task manager (so they are effectively running, but just not showing). I can end task, re-run and the same thing happens again. I've shut down and restarted my PC and still no joy. They wi…

Hey All, First time poster on this forum and I have come to a halt with trying to get my friends arcade machine back up and running as the main hard-drive has died so I have installed a new one and now I am setting up HyperSpin and RocketLauncher to run the arcade machine again. Where I am now stuck is getting all the joysticks and buttons to work with the games. Currently at the moment I have got the Joysticks and buttons to some degree work. Like for instance I load up a Mario game and asks if I want 1 or 2 players I cant seem to use the joystick to change how many players but manage to select 1 player and start the game. Game loads up and I can move Mario aro…

Hello, I 'm sorry to disturb here. I'll only have one question. When i'm running in Vertical mode, I can't move my wheel Left/right exactly where i want by using the Horizontal Wheel Y. It's works fine in Horizontal mode. I imagine this option works only in horizontal so my question is : do you know if this option will be available in the future ? Thanks very much for all your work, i'm enjoying to build my first HS. Thanks again by advance for reading me and stay safe.

I have not used hyperspin since .800, so Im basically a newb at this again. any help would be useful. Thank you!

I hope I've posted in the right place. I have purchased to wii remotes, the gun cases, and the mayflash bar. I'm wanting to use these as guns for any shooting game in Hyperspin beyond just the Wii. My hope was to use in Mame, Technoparrot, and more. I've searched and searched online but can not find a tutorial in which to set up. I have the bar installed, and the guns ready. Trying to get them to be recognized as a mouse and such has been difficult. Not sure if I have to go into every shooting gun game and change button config or not. Was hoping a video online would be available for reference if possible.

Can anybody guide me to a good how to video or post instructions on how to get Wii controller to play light gun games off the hyperspin system drive
