Still (slowly) playing around with HyperSpin. Was playing with LaunchBox as well, but through forum chats, finding that I may be out of luck with a lot of the themes because designed for 16:9 and don't resize well for 4:3. I went for a 4:3 Samsung 204B 1600x1200 5ms monitor... mainly because was cheaper and since 99% of the games I have are 4:3 I figured I'd go that route... didn't think about themes. How's HyperSpin for 4:3? Problem with LB is I can't test any out without buying a membership, and the theme downloads often don't mention if they work 4:3 or not so, hate to pay and not like anything available. I believe it's the same for HS though still very …

Ok, so I have added like 10 PC games to my HyperSpin, but I dont how to make media packs for them, and I couldnt find any online. Like, I have the PC versions of Final Fantasy V, VII, IX, X/X2 HD Remaster... But I have no clue on how to make the wheel logos, or the artwork, or theme, or video snaps for them. Yes they do run through RL and HS, just want to make them look pretty. Are there any tutorials on how to do this? Thank you for your help.

Hey guys, just looking for the best way to keep things organized. I have a 1TB drive... was thinking of making a partition, maybe 60GB for Win10/Hyperspin then have the other partition labelled GAMES and no folder with sub-folders, just the drive with a folder for each system. That way if I need to format, I can just format the C:\ and not touch the games. Not sure if that's a good way to do it, or just 1 partition, and a folder named GAMES with sub folders for each system. Ideally I'd get an SSD for the software and games on the HDD... how much space would the OS/Hyperspin/Emulators take?

Hey guys... been playing with a RaspPi/RetroPie for a few months, fun but a bit more limited and just not the same as a cab so, decided to build a full cab and go PC based. Past few weeks I've been playing with LaunchBox, which works fine, but doesn't seem as flashy as HyperSpin, plus you need to pay for premium for features to unlock, and pay for BigBox for themes, etc... so before I commit any money I wanted to spend some time with HyperSpin and compare the two. Downloaded it last night, and for now, will be testing on my desktop PC which has better specs and a widescreen, but just easier to test with. Before I get started... is HyperSpin free? I see you …

I knew the option was there and I've heard people speak of it but I was a bit confused by the process and didn't even give it a shot... I also thought it would require me to move/copy my roms like I had to move or copy my media files.. which was another reason I never bothered but I didn't realize that all it would require me to do was to add the rom paths in RL. I just merged the xmls I wanted (PC games, Mame, NES, SNES, N64, PS1, PSP, Sega Model 2, Sammy Atomiswave, Genesis) and basically used my favorites.txt for each system as a guide so when I add the games under alternative emulators all I have to do is search for the games and add them... to make it less painf…

Anyone want to help a brother out? Turned on my cabinet tonight and the computer inside (which normally turns on) did nothing. I had to manually turn it on and got a bios screen. I didn't know what to do there and so exited out. Went to start windows normally and was able to get things started. The resolution on everything was all wrong. Tried to go into windows but it was very buggy. Can still get things going but something's obviously very messed up now. Anyone have any ideas here? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hey folks. Some help would be great. I have finished my Hyperspin setup but am now just trying to hide the windows 7 startup. I have hyperspin starting at bootup and I used Windows7bootupdater2 to give me a plain black screen at startup. However inbetween the black screen and Hyperspin startup I am still getting the blue windows 7 screen and then my windows desktop before Hyperspin starts up. Does anyone know how I can get the black screen instead of the blue windows 7 screen and get hyperspin to startup before my desktop appears. Thanks. Bruiser.

This error has recently started to come up when I try to start a game. Specifically, I'm trying to set up my Atari 5600 wheel in hyperspin. I'm using MAME/MESS emulator. RetroArch seems to be a complete failure anytime I try to set it up with an Atari System, and MAME throws me into a black screen of death. MAME/MESS emulator starts the loading process, and get's me to 100% loaded. But then it hangs and gives me an "Error waiting for the window "ahk_class MAME" to be come active" message.Can anyone offer any guidance or insight? Thank you for your help. A Google search suggests that this problem has existed with other persons, but no clear solution seems to have been arti…

Sorry I have problems with hyperspin when emulating the roms with fusion and with full screen full screen in the window work perfectly while in fullscreen sometimes they leave and sometimes black screen and return to the hyperspin screen. In the rocket launcher everything works perfectly. I have a core pc i5 6500 geforce 960 gtx and 16 giga ram. How can I fix it?

Hello all! I recently tried my hand at installing Fix it Felix to my Mame wheel with mixed results. I got the game icon to show on the wheel and the intro video works as well. The game launches flawlessly when I launch it from RocketLauncherUI (I launched it successfully when going through the audit game window), but when I get to Hyperspin and click the wheel icon for the game it will not load. The error window mentions something about closely named files. I feel like I am overlooking something simple, any ideas what could be going on?

When you hold the arrow button or is your joystick to the left or the right this will activate the hyper spin search function however I've noticed on two systems and on the main menu when I hold the arrow button it will not bring up the letters this only happens on two systems, NES and SNES all of my other systems the search function will work. Is there a setting in hyper spin or in rocket launcher I need to set so that these two will also search?

Ok, so I downloaded some video snaps for the Atari 2600 (just to test it) from Emumovies... Now I'm wondering where you put them to get them to show up in HS. I tried G:\HyperSpin\Media\Atari 2600\Video\Adventure (USA).mp4... but nothing happens on the game select screen of HS. Any advice?

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew how the spinner works in Hyperspin? I have a spinner that emulates a mouse axis but when I enable spinner support in Hyperspin, it doesn't spin. I can get it to move the mouse in Windows. Is it emulating gamepad or something else?

Ok, having controller issues with a couple systems. Sega Model 2 (latest version) - I go to "game", hit "configure controls", and nothing happens... Sega Model 3 (supermodel .2) - I can't access a menu to setup the controller - the joystick jerks to the left on occasion. HyperSpin - When using my xbox360 controller, the wheel will skip 2-3 systems when I move up or down, any way to make it go 1 system at a time? Also... Cant get CPS2 to run. What is the best emulator to use to run it? Also, when I run it in Mame, it says I'm missing ROMs/CHDs. I got a fullset from some paradise site. Any recommendations? Im using Demul.7 for Naomi and Ato…

I can launch my games in RL and through the emulator itself. However, when I try and launch the game in hyperspin itself, nothing happens. I have watched the install, emulator and adding roms tutorials more times than I can count. I am sure I am missing something very simple. Advice?
