Ive been trying to find a solution to this problem myself with no luck. I'm using a X-Arcade tankstick with track ball on Hyperspin . This is a new install following Simply Austin's video on YouTube. When I go through my games and find one I'd like to play I press my start button and get a message comes up saying Error " .4 "is not a valid key name I don't have the trackball or joystick enabled. The start button it number 1 it works for entering games and confirming I want to exit just not to start playng. I'm going to try and attach a screen shot of the message.

My first post so go easy on me. Hello everyone and thanks in advance. I recently started using hyperspin a couple weeks ago and am still learning the ropes. And damn there are a LOT of ropes. Anyway I am doing pretty well I think. My problem is this. I can open HS select Nintendo(NES), choose a game, and it opens right up and I play but if I choose Super Nintendo(SNES) and select a game it opens right up but on my 2nd monitor NOT on the one that HS is running on. It does this on N64 and Dreamcast also. I am pretty sure it is a setting issue and not anything system related. All programs I am using are the latest versions just downloaded in the last couple weeks. …

My hyperspin has been working perfectly for a week now, but all of a sudden, when I exit a game (using any emulator) hyperspin is frozen when it returns and I need to click it to continue.. Has anyone experienced this? I reset all of my mame and hyperspin files back to when it was working properly, but no luck! It also happens whether or not Im using my tankstick or directly from my keyboard. Driving me nuts... Any ideas?

[sOLVED] When browsing games in the Mame "All Games" and "Favorites" list. The text field will only give me the rom prefix, not the actual game info like name, company, date, # of players. HOWEVER if I switch the genre it will properly display the info. I've searched all over the place and for the life of me I can't figure this one out. I feel like I'm totally overlooking something simple and I was wondering if anyone could help me fix this. I've got my games working, I've even got hitotext working great (this was also a simple little thing I was doing wrong -- didn't have the Highscore set to on in HyperHQ's tools) In case you haven't already figured it out I'…

Is there a tool that will convert the favorites.txt to .xml? I have the start/favorite set to true in my .ini for certain systems and to be honest I can't see myself keeping all the roms, videos, artwork for the games I don't plan on using. If there isn't a tool for this.. I'll just manually do it but a tool could come in handy to speed the process up. Once I have the .xml I can use it in something like the rom renamer which copies/moves the files to another folder..

Ok so my end game on this i want to do is make an arcade cabinet that can play all old school arcade games on original joystick and old consoles up to like PS2(Maybe) and also have the original controllers connected to USB ports on the motherboard and have button layouts for various original controllers to that system set up properly. Is that possible? And also if it is possible i see that many adapters come in a split connection. Like 2 controllers can plug into 1 USB port. Does this have a negative impact on how the controllers are able to be used through certain emulators? Just dont want to go out buying multiple original controllers and adapters if they dont end up fu…

I can go into Nestopia.exe and change my EXIT button from >esc< to >Joy 0 +9< It will save it if I run nestopia.exe again, or if I open up nestopia.xml. It shows that it is correct. I then open up Hyperspin (from there I went to check my nestopia.xml and it still good), and then I go and open up any NES rom, and as soon as the rom is open, it changes my nestopia.xml back to >esc< I can't figure this out. Changing atributes on the file to read only, make a bunch of error codes when I am exitign a NES rom. custon DIY joystick and buttons with USB emulator. Working on MAME, SNES and Sega. Just not Nestopia for Exit?? I can play the g…

Yes, I have an arcadevga card but it is AGP and the computer I am setting up does not have AGP. I do have a few MAME machines running on other video cards with output to an arcade monitor using ArcadeOS. I cannot find any information on whether or not Hyperspin will do this. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

I recently downloaded the hyperspin setup from gigapig and have been configuring it to my system. I haven't been able to get MAME to work and keep getting the same error (AHK_class MAME) .I can play games outside of Hyperspin and RocketLauncher, but I get stuck on a fade loading screen when trying to start a game. I then get this error . Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Not sure what info you need from me to help diagnose. Just tell me and I'll upload it.

So I made this thread to kind of get a little bit of information about how I want to actually set up the front end visuals while I am trying to get all the games manually. 1 by 1/ renaming them accordingly. During this though I have ran into some questions. 1. When a game has a name like ('94) after it. For example like NBA Action '94 (USA). It creates a '/' in front of the name on the Front end. So when I view it in HyperSpin the game comes up NBA Action /'94. Anyway to get rid of the actual ' before the year in the name in RocketLauncherUI? or better yet is there anyway to get HyperSpin to stop putting / before the '94? 2. Some Wheel names are all black and it m…

Hey everyone. I just recently built a control panel using the Wolfware Howler controller and a buddy came over yesterday to try it all out. What we found was if we played a fighting game (street fighter or marvel vs capcom) as soon as the action started and we both started hitting multiple inputs the screen would switch back to hyperspin while the game was still running in the backgroup. I could Alt-Tab back to the game and continue playing it with no issues after the first "screen switch". Any idea what would cause this? It only happened with the fighting games while other 2 or 3 button games never caused it. Its as if the game was overloaded with inputs and freake…

do we have a wheel finding tool ? the way I envision it, it would take a Database xml and using "fuzzy logic" search the media (or any folder) -recursively for images that would "fuzzily" match the <game name> field in the XML. it would help to go through the thousands of wheel images.

Are there any Wheel Images for the name of the games on the wheel that are transparent? like all the images i find have the white background behind them but 3 Ninjas Kick Back's background is the same as the HyperSpin Background through the letters.

Hi I am new to emulation and from the research I have found Hyperspin is the way to go. My plan is to make a cabinet and to sink as much time as necessary setting it up to exactly what I want. Before I dive in I have one question that I am struggling to find an answer to. Is there a way to display roms from multiple emulators in Hyperspin, that will then of course launch the correct emulator and run the rom. Example: Can I have a list that has Sonic (sega genesis/megadrive) and Super Mario (snes) in it and can run them from there. So you don't select the console then the game you just select the game! Thanks in advance and sorry if this is a silly question.

Hello, my name is Crystal, and I am having noob issues. I was launching two emulators (MAME and Stella) perfectly, and now when I select a game in either from the wheel, nothing happens. I'm not sure what I did to screw this up. Here is my Hyperspin log. I waited a minute after launching the Wizard of War game, 06:02:31. I escaped out of the menu at 06:03:42. It's like it hangs at........HyperLaunch Command Line is: C:\hyperspin133\HyperLaunch.exe "MAME" "wow" 06:01:37 PM | HyperSpin Started 06:01:37 PM | Going FullScreen 06:01:38 PM | Checking for updates 06:01:38 PM | Update Check Complete 06:01:38 PM | Startup program unavailable 06:01:38 PM | Playing in…

I'm trying to batch convert my roms into .7z format (Specifically for GameBoy) I've tried using Clrnamepro, which works great! however, the files inside the 7z are stripped of their extensions, and I don't know why or how to avoid this? When the .gb extension is removed, my emulator cannot located the files. Thusly, I've come to the community for tips and advice on how to do this. (EXAMPLE) Super Mario Land (World).gb Becomes: Super Mario Land (World) \ Super Mario Land (World).7z

Hey guys, Im trying to get an old sega cd/32x game called Fahrenheit working on my arcade, through Hyperspin. When you boot up the game it asks you to insert disc 2 and press start. How do I do that through Hyperspin?
