I'm new to Hyperspin and I've run into a little problem. I have an 'ultrawide' monitor with an aspect ratio of 21:9 and a resolution of 3440x1440. I can understand Hyperspin does not natively support that resolution, but is there any way to force it to run 16:9 (with black bars). Because when I start Hyperspin in fullscreen mode, it's stretching 16:9 output to 21:9 which looks horrible. I've tried fiddling with the Nvidia settings to properly scale the image which worked before on another application (can't remember which one), but it looks like Hyperspin actually stretches its own image to fit the 21:9 aspect ratio before its rendered on the gpu or something because…

Hi All, I have not been able to sign into Hyperspin forums in Tapatalk for the past week. Is this a global issue or is it just me? I've looked through the forums and haven't seen any other posts about this?

Hi, frind of mine made a little script to tag clones in an xml where the tag is missing. I testest it with MSX 2 and it works quit well.

I had everything working fine in rocket launcher and hypetspin. I synced my media with hypersync and then started getting this error for every rom I try to Launch in Hyperspin "Cannot find D:\hyperspinModules\Sega 32x\sega 32x .ahk. You do not have the HyperLaunch 2 module for Sega 32x. Please create one of Check Hyperlist." This error comes up for each system I try to play through Hyperspin after using Hypersync. So I did a re-install of RoacketLauncher and hyper spin....had everything working fine AGAIN. Synced everything with Hypersync, and keep getting the same errors after using Hypersync again! Can anyone help? I'm about to give up on hypersync …

I've finally hit a wall with my Saturn setup. I'm using Retroarch with the Mednafen core. While my games boot via the emulator itself and Hyperspin, saving does not seem to work with my zipped games. If I open them via the emulator unzipped it creates the proper files (saves to the ROM directory), however it doesn't generate a save when saved through the zipped game via Hyperspin. When attempting to adjust the Saturn module settings via RocketLauncher when tied to RetroArch leads to this prompt appearing: "Sega Saturn doesn't support specific settings on this module, you'll have to use global ones". Going to Global and editing the System Specific module only listed Atari …

Hello everyone! Recently bought/built a new Xtension Arcade Cab. Threw a superpowered laptop in, strapped on the control panel, and away I went! I already had a MAME set up on my other computer, so I ported it over. Here's my dilemma: I have all of the art and videos for a LOT of these games, but I'm missing ROMS. I don't care about them, I just care that I have a couple thousand extra pieces of art being displayed. I would LOVE to cut my XML down, but I cannot for the life of me figure it out. If I use Don's tools to generate an XML, I loose all of the good info and descriptions that Hyperspin displays at the bottom. Same goes for my other syste…

I have a weird problem with Main menu themes and the intro vids. I searched a good while but came up empty. I had some cinematic system themes, which I reverted back to the default main menu system themes. Tried deleting the 'old' sys. theme.zip and video and then updating with hypersync but still comes out not lining up (e.g. Nintendo Game Boy) Also tried different theme files (4:3), (16:9), different videos as well. Never had this problem before. Is there some .ini file somewhere that's keeping certain settings? Any ideas on why this is happening? thomas

Hello All. New to Hyper and loving it. I have a XML list that is working 100% with my rom directory. However, my XML list contains, as an example, 592 game entries and my rom directory 2000+. 1. Is there a tool I can export the actual roms based on the XML to a new directory? Now Im pushing my luck. The same as above, however now add the themes, vids and images and so on. This will really help in cleaning up rom directorys and getting rid of unneeded or broken roms. Regards Derik Pelser. Future Spinner

Hello. I've been following the official video tutorials but obviously wrong because games are not launching. When I select a game, nothing happens. I've googled for the problem and nothing I have found has been of help. It's the same problem for all systems with different emulators. Some details: I use Windows 10 64bit Latest versions of Hyperspin and RocketLauncher installed. Roms have been audited with no problem. It's also can't start any game from HyperLaunch, but when I click on the red rocket button in RocketLauncher UI, it works. I've modified the HyperSpin settings file to include Hyperlaunch_Path=F:\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncher.exe (which …

Hello, I think my last post got deleted for some reason so I'll try again. I have a game that loads perfectly in MAME .188 out of HS/RL but when launching in HS it gets up to the insert coin splash screen and then goes black after pressing the P1 start button. Are there any settings I can adjust to see if this works? I would have thought that running in HS or using the standalone MAME.188 wouldn't make any difference. Thanks.

So i have a profile for my ipac 2 for Mame. It switches over to this profile when i enter mame but when i exit out to the hyperspin menu it doesn't switch back to _default. So my layout is messed up after i exit mame. To get it back i have to exit to the desktop and run WinIPAC to reset the controls back.

I recently shelled Windows 7 to skip the desktop and go straight into Hyperspin. Since shelling, Hyperspin runs great (preview videos load fine, the UI is responsive, etc.) except when I press Enter to launch a game, it takes 10 seconds or so before the game actually launches. Once in a game, the game runs great. I only have MAME games loaded so I'm not sure if the problem is specific to MAME or if it's universal. Does anyone have any idea why it would take so long to launch a game after shelling? EDIT: It actually seems to only be delaying on the very first game I try to launch. After that, the games seem to load fine.

Hello, I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my hyperspin sound is not working. No preview sounds or wheel sounds. All my media packs are in their respective folders. All of my emulators sounds work perfectly once I start a game? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using the Xtension "Emulator Edition" two-player board with trackball. The board seems to work just fine. And in fact, so does the trackball, outside of HyperSpin on my windows desktop. But as soon as I tick the use trackball option in Hyperspin HQ, things go bad. If I do that, and then launch HyperSpin, the wheel goes crazy. It just spins at like 1000 RPM. Totally out of control, to the point that I have to force the application closed. For what it matters, and just for extra info, I kept the sensitivity to 90%, just as HS HQ stock setting... would lowering the sensitivity help? Or is it another issue all together? It feels a bit sluggish at 90% as i…

As the title states. Is it possible after selecting a game in hyperspin that it doesn't register input from key presses for a set amount of time? I am not using the fade function for some games so that is not a option.

Help please, I am in a battle with HS! Problem: I launch HS 1.4 and have no control of the menu from the joysticks (initially) but if I go out to JOYTOKEY and simply highlight any valid profile that has the correct ke mappings and then go back over to the HS instance that is still running I gain control but only until I navigate to a different sub-menu/emulator then I have to do the same thing again to regain control. I followed the tuts from HS, Simply Austin, and Game room Solutions to the Nth degree and triple checked everything but something is not right. My Joytokey profiles include: Hyperspin, RocketLauncher, and Profile 1 (All have the i…

Perhaps I made a mistake putting this in General rather than Support. My apologies if this is the case. My main hard drive had a Windows disaster and I had to run recovery software to jump ship to a new drive. Going through my HS systems to check for consistency has been the current project and PC Engine CD -refuses- to mount the disc for Magic Engine in Daemon Tools Lite 10.6. SCSI, no SCSI, add drive, don't add drive, it will. not. work. ...But Turbografx-CD does. It works perfectly, mounts discs all the bloody -live-long-day. I imported the pce.ini from one Magic Engine directory to the PCECD one, and it ignores it. Doesn't work. Brand new ini? Doesn't …

Hi All With setting up my wheels there is the video location where the vids get stored for each wheel. Duh!!!! I have a few MAME wheels all using the same naming criteria as I'm just grouping some games together with different DBs So I don't want to copy my videos to various locations, as below C:\HyperSpin\Media\MAME\Video\ C:\HyperSpin\Media\MAME2\Video\ C:\HyperSpin\Media\MAME3\Video\ and so forth, you get the story. So I pointed all my wheels to one central location. lets say C:\HyperSpin\Media\MAME_Main\Video\ However, this does not work. And only works if I copy them in to the corresponding wheel folder even if m…

Hi all, Ive had Hyperspin setup for over a year now but I simply can't get it to remain stable for more than 24hrs.. it seems to lock up and become unresponsive after a undetermined amount of time. If I leave MAME active the pc remains stables for days on end but hyperspin in attract mode just seems to die after about 12 hrs. i have taken to scheduling a windows restart every day at 1am but it's still happening on occasion .. Any tips on getting it stable? When it locks up the CPU usage shows as 0% in use and 170MB ram in use so it's not a memory leak. I'm running Windows 10 Pro (but previously Win 7 Ultimate and still happens). Pc i…

Greetings - Normally i would just try to figure this stuff out on my own, but I have found that it is just easier to reach out for help. I'm trying to get my Sega CD bin/cue's organized into compressed archives. I used to have a utility that would take the files out of the directory, zip them, place in a separate directory and name them properly. I can't seem to find that utility. I did this manually with a few, but it's going to take ages and I don't really want to spend the time on it. I've included screenshots to help illustrate what I'm trying to accomplish.Can someone else guide me to a quicker solution? How it is now(_zipped folder is ones that i have …

Hi all. Quick question for yas. I have a 0.166 mame.ahk file in my setup so am using mame32uifix 0.166 to compliment it and all works great in hyperspin. My only gripe is that i only have a 0.142 rom set so obvious some games dont work and I can't find a 0.166 rom set anywhere. My question is- is there a archive of mame ahk files so i can grab the 0.142 version to use with my roms and get a 0.142 version of mame or is there a program that will update/convert my 0.142 roms up to 0.166 to just copy into my existing setup. Thanks ever so much ?
