Having problems with HyperSpin? You've come to the right place!

I've been around for a while and have tried setting up HyperSpin multiple times over the years but always get discouraged and give up. I have been collecting romsets from all over the place and have multiple USB Hard Drives full of them. My biggest problem has always been finding the best or official xml database to use. I would usually go to HyperList and download from there but I've been reading how those listed there still need work. I saw there was a section in the forums dedicated to updating all the database xmls. So it makes me wonder where I should get the most correct and up to date xml. So let's say I do get the best database xml file for the system I…

I just need to know where and what file to edit in order to make a bezel load fully on the screen ? To explain my issue a bit better i download SimplyAustins setup of hyperspin and have set it up fully and have no issues because i had set this up on my main system in my house all his bezels worked flawlessly. The reason being mine and his computer were pretty close to the same specs wise! Now my issue comes in because i moved my setup to my room......now my pc in there even though still widescreen it does not get up the high resolution that my main screen does and in turn when i load a bezel on the bedroom pc it loads and is fine but the top portion of the screen sho…

Hi! I've been adding Wheel and Background Image Genres to all my systems (+150) and i would like to know if is there any common folder to all systems. If not i would request for future updates of HyperSpin. Wheel and Background Genres are about 100Mb. And if you need to have a copy for each system (100MB x 150 Systems or more) is crazy! As now all genres are the same for all systems, wouldn't be better to have a common folder for all systems keeping individual folder to better personalization too? (Like xpadder profiles for example) I don't know if this is the right place to post it, if not just tell me and i move to right place. thanks in advance!

Hey guys, Been running into a issue that I hope one of you hyperspin gurus can help me with. I cannot seem to get RL to load any xpadder profiles. I believe I have everything setup correctly and the right paths in RL set. I can make a profile under the keymapper tab and test it works just fine, however when I play the game from the games tab RL will not launch any profiles for the emulator. I am attaching my logs. Thanks. 21:46:01:836 | RL | INFO | +N/A | Main - RocketLauncher v1.1.1.1 (www.rlauncher.com) 21:46:02:045 | RL | INFO | +219 | Main - System Specs: RocketLauncher Dir: D:\RocketLauncher RocketLauncher is: 32-bit …

Totally new to hyperspin and rocket launcher. Searched a thread before posting this. Apologies for any redundancy in advance. I set up hyperspin and rocket launcher successfully by watching a video. I have mame .172 with the no nag high score patch. Mame on its own works fine when I boot it. However when I audit the roms in rocketlauncher and try to boot I get a net .20 not installed but I know for a fact it is installed. I'm running Windows 10 and would appreciate any feedback back. Thanks

Hi! I have my system configured to 1080p resolution, and Genre backgrounds are 1080 too but when in genre mode, backgrounds are oversized and with bad quality. In HyperHQ i selected everything (best quality) and in RL selected 1080p resolution. Does someone know how to solve this issue? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I'm a newbie to this and I would appreciate any help that is available. I have HyperSpin and Rocketlauncher setup. That is was not a problem with the nice tuts available here. Thank you. The only emulator I have working right now is MAME...and I am fine with that. I am more or less trying to simplify the frontend (Hyperspin). I was able to acquire the Game Logos from EMUMovies (again - Thank you). I would love to simplify the "wheel". It looks like every game comes up in the wheel even if it is not available. I would be fine with loading say - my favorite 20 games to the wheel so when I put this in a party setting it looks clean. In the image attach…

Hi guys I am new here. I only have 1 issue with my hyperspin setup at the moment and was wondering if you know the solution to this issue. The themes and videos work perfectly in my main menu ( where you select a console ). When I go in to play the games on a certain console I can see the theme and preview video without any problems, but if I start selecting a different game it doesn´t show it, if I exit to the main menu and go back the theme and video does show up...but then when I select another game the same thing happens. Any idea what could be the issue? Thanks

I have an interesting problem that I can't seem to find a solution. Running Hyperspin 1.4: at start up, my controls work fine, I can go through the main wheel and select and emulator. My controls still work fine and I select a game, and the game launches without a problem. Controls work fine in game as well. Then when I exit the game, I am still at the emulator wheel where I can select a rom, controls still working fine. Once I go up one level to the main wheel to select a different emulator the controls no longer work. I have to alt+tab out of hyperspin then come back to it to restore my controls. (Clearly this isn't feasible to always do on a cabinet that doesn't have…

Hey everyone, My problem is that videos or artwork don't seem to display when themes don't get refreshed. So all the main menu videos work because all the themes get refreshed when flicking through them. When i enter a system and the theme changes for that system to show video and artwork, but it will only show it for the first game. Flicking to the next game that uses the default theme will not display any video or artwork. If the game uses a custom theme then it requires a refresh and changes, showing the video and artwork. In other words it only displays video and artworks on themes that are refreshed. I turned on 'refresh Background' setting in HyperHQ so it …

I'm trying to get my player 2 joystick to work with Sega 32X games and I think it us just writing over joystick 1, when I got into Retroarch and set up the binds. I'm using a Xin Mo encoder, and RetroArch. Is there some setting I'm missing that can tell RetroArch that they are 2 different joysticks and buttons? Here's a screenshot of what I'm working with in RetroArch > Setting > Input Options. I had to put the screenshot as an attachment to this post. Should I turn off Autoconfig and go edit the config files with Notepad ++? The Bind Mode only gives me options for RetroPad, or RetroKeyboard.

Hi, So i am updating to a new rig. I used to run hyperspin on my laptop basically as a trial run to teach myself how to get everything up and running. Now my rig is mostly put together (still waiting to buy graphics card). I have a 500g SSD and a 3tb mechanical drive. My question is will hyperspin benefit from being run from my SSD. My emulators will obviously be installed on my SSD and I keep my roms and video snaps on my 3tb. However my Hyperspin folder is quite large because of all the media on it (artwork, wheels etc...) So in short hyperspin on SSD or 3.5inch Russell

Hi all. I set hyperspin up on an external drive (D). Everything fine. Just has mame on it. Moved it to the © drive on the same computer as it will fit on (and I didn't think it would at first) so no need for external drive. I've changed everything as far as I know. All settings in hyper hq, rocket launcher, directories in mame, been through as many files as I can see and changed directories from D to C, All I get now when I try to run a game is - Fatal error. Required files are missing. Games run fine in mame alone though I'm stumped.

Hello all. So after a major HDD Loss of about 7TB of data on my main Hyperspin HDD I am now in the process of re downloading and setting up a new drive,( with a better backup system) I have started to set up a few systems and here is the problem I am running into right off the bat; I have mame setup in RL and Hyperspin setup as my FE.

If I start hyperspin my Hyperspin xpadder profile loads as it should and …

Hi Guys, I got an issue with my TTX games. My Hyperspin is still on my external USB drive so I can configure it on my laptop and use it on my arcade cab (don't like to configure while on my cab) :-) ). On my laptop everything is working perfect. When i take my USB drive to my cab and connect it over there, the games are not working. I see a small DOSS screen (see that also on my laptop), but short after I get the error as seen down here (or in the attached file, site won't upload it at the moment). 'There was an error waiting for the window "Blaz Blue". Please check you have the correct version emulator installed for this module, followed any notes in the module,…

I'm setting up my first go at Hyperspin. All is going pretty well. There is ONE game which I would like to run with a non standard aspect, which to me works better with the setup I have. I have everything set up and if I run this game through mameuifx64 it comes up widescreen, all my saved settings/controls and no issues. But if I run it though hyperspin or rocket launch - the game reverts back to 4:3 with very large black bars on both sides. Normally the black bars and centered 4:3 are fine, since most I plan to add a bezel to. This game however I really do want running 16x9 or close, as I have it set up though the gui front end. Is there any way to get the set…

Hi! A few days ago i had a fully working system. As i'm configuring everything with RocketLauncher I don't try with HyperSpin often. The problem is I can run all systems from RocketLauncher, but not in HyperSpin. When i run a game in HyperSpin, it doesn't do anything but blink buttons and speech name of buttons but doesn't start the game. Where can i see the HyperSpin log to start to solve it? Thanks in advance!
