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…

Yo spinners Planning to rename huge sets of PS2 roms, During the renaming process the roms must removed from original source once it is renamed and moved to another folder to avoid duplicates & double up the space. Which program can handle ?

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 ?

Hello again spinners, I am having issues trying to cull my games down to just the ones within the hyperlist database. Normally I do this manaully but after a recent update I have some sets with 1000+ unneeded or double titles. I tried to use hyperchecker for the job as thats the software I use for sorting out media and it works awesome, unfortunately it doesnt seem to matter where I place my games hyperchecker cannot find them to scan. Does anyone have a better 3d party alternative to hyperchecker and if not does anyone know the "Official" directory that hyperchecker looks at for games. Cheers.

I really haven't delved into Hyperspin a great deal, but I have grabbed a sort of all-in-one package, tried it out, and fiddled with the theme XMLs a bit. In those XMLs, there are ways to control some aspects of some artworks, but as far as I can tell, the appearance of the game details (in the lower left) and the game video snap both run on a strict timing: The name appears 0.33 seconds after scrolling the wheel. The video appears 0.50 seconds after scrolling the wheel. 100% reliable. I think there are ways of delaying further the appearance of the video but I have not seen anything to indicate that it can be made to appear immediately. I gotta ask: Is there a…

Hi Guys, Im scared to ask this question in case I get the answer I really dont want. Basically, I have multiple custom databases, If i download the various genre xmls from hyperlist they dont exactly match my databases which means I end up having to tick rom only in hyperhq and also end up with loads of empty genres. (If you have a genre e.g Soccer Games and you dont have any of the games from the Soccer.xml when you select it will just go back to the main menu) Is there a tool that scans your system xml for each games genre then creates all the seperate genre xmls for you?? All of my fingers and toes are crossed right now, doing this manually or …

Hi Guys, I have an issue with the game Badlands running using daphne in hyperspin. It runs verly slowly and laggy and if I press a button at all it freezes the video although you can still hear the sound continuing in the background. It runs fine using daphneloader outside of hyperspin. Any ideas what I can do as it's one of my favourite games? Also if I change settings in daphneloader and then run the game in hyperspin, hyperspin doesn't seem to pick up the changes.

Hey there, I'm having problem with my .mp4 files. They audio plays, but I don't have video. I've tried converting once and got it all to work, but now for some reason I can't get them to play the video. The program I'd like to use for conversion is FormatFactory. What settings can I use for these mp4 files to get the audio AND video to play?

So I have been trying to figure his out and have googled around but cannot find an answer. Is there anyway to have multiple system sounds or default themes that are selected randomly? Im sure I read that it could be done in a readme I found in a sounds pack but cannot for the life of me remember how it is done. Thanks.

I can launch Mame on it's own and it works perfectly. When I launch Hyperspin I can go to mame and brows through an endless list of roms. When I try to launch a rom in hyperspin nothing happens. I also cannot launch a rom from rocketlauncher ui, I can audit them and get a good list but when I try to launch a rom from the audit screen nothing happens. If I right click on them and try to choose the emulator to launch with still nothing happens. I can make the emulator open on the emulators tab of the mame sytem. Help appreciated thanks! Unrelated question: Does anyone know how to set super eagle filter on for all mame roms?

Hello. I am able to use a ps4 controller or a fighting stick to control hyperspin main menu and a lot of emulators (sega genesis, snes, nes, gameboy...)... It is also possible to use a Xbox controller but when I plug in the 8bitdo sfc30 controller, nothing works. can`t remember having set up the other controllers in joytokey or so. So my question is... are all the other controllers "plug and play" ? Can I configure the new controller without deleting the button mapping for all the other controllers? kind regards NEO

When I play mame without hyperspin it uses the super-eagle filter which I prefer. When I play mame within hyperspin it uses... something else. See pictures. The one with the bezel is from within hyperspin. Edit fixed the above problem but still working on the inner bezel! I'm trying to get ride of the "inner" bezel between the art bezel and the game. Any help appreciated, thanks!

Hi all, Since a couple of weeks now I notice that HyperSpin is still active in the background when I start a game up? I've read some other post but couldn't get it fixed on my setup. Has anyone have a solution how to fix this in my case? The only thing that changed the last couple of months is that I went from a xbox wired to a wireless controller, but that shouldn't be a problem right?! Any help is appreciated, here is my log: log.txt
