I am working on my first Hyperspin related project, and recently added wheels for the Atari 2600 and Game Boy. I have been encountering problems installing system default themes for the two systems. Despite having placed the theme zip files in the correct folders for the system and naming them "Default", they do not appear on the Main Menu wheel or the system's sub-wheels, leaving an unappealing blue text and black space in both locations. Are there any other settings that I need to tweak to allow the themes to activate? Thank you for your help!

Hello All, I was having a little fun with my Hyperspin setup using Chrome, Picture in Picture viewer Extension, and Always On Top utility. It was all fun then I hit a little snag...I would love to you know your thoughts or ideas! The ideas are outlined in this video: Thanks, Steve (LSD) I reposted this here because I erroneously posted this in the HyperSync forum sorry

By next week I will be upgrading my OS to Win7 64bit. Presently I am on XP 32bit with 3gb ram. I will add on a total of 8gb ram. (16gb ram is the max i can add but I think that would be overkill) Do you believe I will see a significant improvement in the Hyperspin system?

I am just about setup to my liking with Hyperspin. Still a lot to do but I got the hang of it. There was a learning curve, but I got a grip on it. I had to transtion from the old Hyperspin project torrent. It has taken about three days of continuous work and troubleshooting. And a lot of help from some friends here (Gigapig,Austin and rfancella). How was I able to get this beast setup, the keyword is: Patience. Here are a couple of pieces of advice from my experience: -Eat a snack before working with Hyperspin, low blood sugar will kill your work flow and frustrate you. -If you reach a problem you cannot solve, google your problem and add site:hyperspin-fe.com to your…

Hello, I am more than happy with hyperspin. I am having trouble setting up one of my emulators. Magic Engine 1.0 works great as a window, but when I full screen it or run it in hyperlaunch the music is sped up and I get this error message. I tried using Magic Engine 1.3 but I don't like having a time limit, so I will upgrade if I have to. Thanks for the help.

After deleting half the contents of my SSF module I finally got the emu to work well in hyperspin. But this question may not have much to do with hyperspin in general as it seems I cant get the music working with the emulator itself. Im not sure why Saturn ISO's dont contain their audio tracks internally but ether way... does anyone know how to get the audio tracks working with SSF. Thanks a bunch

Hello everyone, Long time reader. First time poster. I have some time off and want to transition from my original hyperspin setup (the torrent version left over from the days of underground gamer that is incomplete and in the eyes of this community/ completely outdated) to the latest version available with all the fixins. I use wireless Xbox 360 controllers for play and have all the game content I need/emu movies. My questions are: How can I do this with the minimal amount of trouble? What are the benefits of things like hypersync, hyperpause, and the latest version of hyperspin? How can donating and becoming a member help this transition ? I am prepared to pu…

Hi. I'm working on the front end for my cabinet. I decided to use HS. I would like create a working MAME set for HS. It's been quite a learning curve setting up the front end! In the end I would have probably spent more time working on the front end than building the cabinet and setting up the hardware etc. I have searched the forums for this question but didn't come across anything? Up until a few weeks ago I had no idea that out of the 20k+ roms there are only about 8k that are classified as working. I had no idea about dats, HS xml lists, renaming roms etc. I am still fuzzy on many of those topics. I have an idea how to go about creating such a list but wanted to check…

Hey folks, an annoying problem I would like some help with please. This only happens occasionally but as my system is mouse/keyboard free it is a lot of hassle. When I exit an emulator (by pushing in the right thumbstick) it freezes on hyperspin as if the emulator is still running, to fix it I need to plug in my mouse and left click, then things run normal again. Any tips?

Hello, I have moved onto compressing my iso games to 7z which saves a good amount of space. They take around 1 minute to extract and I wanted the extracting and extraction complete noises to work. I have set them up on HLHQ but when I select the game on the frontend there is no noise but the game video.

I cant believe Im even writing this as I know its something so simple?? I have been trying to setup my XBOX360 Controller to control hyperspin. I was wanting it to start with Hyperspin and then close with Hyperspin as I keep forgetting about it till Im in games out of it and its driving me crazy. Well thats a dif topic.... I thought there was a handy prog in HyperHQ with the programs on startup and exit. Myfault for not reading it better but in defense its 2am here. I have now reset all my settings in this section back to normal. I did play with some others but they are all controller related. Problem now is that Hyperspin will not quit unless I task manager its a…

I've searched the forums for related problems, and nothing has solved what I am encountering. I've just put together a giant list of Genesis games, and I noticed a few of the Sonic games weren't showing up. Hyperlaunch sees it and launches it just fine. If I enable all roms in HQ, I can see it and launch it, but not when selecting to only show roms existing. Its correctly labeled in the xml, showing enabled, and the file extensions are put in as zip and ZIP. 95% of the games show up fine, its just a few I noticed are missing. Any ideas of what it could be? Thanks

I was getting all sorts of issues and I was already pulling my hair out of desperation, I thought it was xpadder or my Windows7 Orb Changer or something stealing focus, but now I think it's most likely an AHK issue. Because HyperSpin lacks Joystick support I decided to create an AHK script that loads an xpadder when HyperSpin starts. I was using an AHK scipt to start with, for using my HTPC only with the pad (like a mouse), so now that I got into it, I decided to make it full fledged. In the HTPC I use also Steam and XBMC, so those don't need xpadder, and I added an xpadder profile when viewing videos with MPC-HC. There are more things, like "start" activating the xpadde…

When playing a fighting game either in MAME or Mugen it seems I get tabbed out of game and put back at hyperspin wheel. It only happens when playing VS and it's button smashing. I know that alt+tab would do this but I don't know of any other button combo that does the same. The game keeps running in background I just have to tab into it which sometimes makes it crash. Hyperspin is running on windows vista and I can share any ini files as needed Any one have any thoughts as to why this happens?

Hello, I am having a problem getting the videos to play in the turbografx-16 wheel. I can scroll through the list of games, but the videos do not show. The box art and wheel art show up fine. I am using the theme I downloaded from the hyperspin website. I have attached a picture of what it looks like. Thanks for the help. Matthew Nichols

I have had no problem with all of my themes up to this point. Despite my best efforts, I cannot get the video snaps to load in my LaserDisc (Daphne) on the first go around (the background loads, put the video, video bezel, anything video related refuses to show on the screen). As a workaround, I made a dummy theme (sub-wheel), and if I let that theme load first (with the No Video, find videos at ********* !), all of the other themes with videos load just fine. I can't understand why this could be. I structured these themes to be independent unlike SNES or NES or even Mame, any help on what I am missing would be much appreciated.

ok i have pinn pointed the issue on why people aint able to log in. some were the groups we were in which was my issue but other peoples are diffrent due to mediawiki naming space which u can only have characters that are a-z A-Z 0-9 so if your name containts an _ . , - = anything like that this is why you cant log in. Only post here if you are having issues log in so we can look further into it. also try when logging in your name in Caps and Lowercase incase that is the issue. the fix might be a change to your username which we can do but will be discussed through PM. So post here do not PM me direct as i'll only be checking against this forum till i contact you.

Ok, so I know some of you want to repack some things you have on your computer. Especially if you have a system theme that you like and can't find it yet or whatever it is. Here is my repacker. Caveats: you have to know the name of the theme you want to repack and type it in properly. It comes with no guarantees, but has worked fine for me so far. If bugs are found, please report here. Directions: Drop HyperPacker.exe in the root theme folder: 1. This is the folder with the folders Images, Themes, Video, etc. 2. Run HyperPacker. 3. You must type the correct name of the xml file from the theme (just the main name, not the xml extension; ex: pacman.xml, you wo…
