I have been having this issue for years and never really knew why. This is one of a few issues but one thing at a time. A good bit of the time I exit HS LEDBlinky is not closing and my 'Frontend Active' light display keeps going until I manually shut down LEDBlinky with Windows Task Manager. From research I done over the last few days I'm under the impression that HS is the issue not shutting down LEDBlinky Here is a copy of the HS log from a quick test....I just pasted since its not that big. What is the deal with the 'Unavailable' items.. and can this be related to my problem 08:38:23 PM | Startup program unavailable 08:38:58 PM | Error intializing joy…

Hi! I have all the roms for Sega Genesis but when I run them with retroarch as the emulator it says: "Couldn't find the rom "3 Ninjas Kick Back (USA)" inside the archive with any defined rom extensions. Check if you are missing the correct Rom Extension for this rom for RetroArch's Extensions, enable Rom_Match_Extension," 1, How do I change the rom extension for Retroarch. 2, How do i enable Rom_Match_Extensions! Hope you can help!

Hi all. I've recently been getting into HyperSpin thanks in no small part to Simply Austin's vids on YouTube. Thus far, everything is going pretty much to plan but I have noticed one strange anomaly - if I run a game from the "Audit Games" part of RLUI, the fade screen shows all the info I requested (game title, year, publisher, rating). However, if I do this from the main HS frontend, the publisher name does not show up. I read on this forum that the decision had been taken to split the "Manufacturer" field into "Developer" and "Publisher", so I assume this is causing the problem? The databases I am using are from this site, but I notice they still use the old "Manufactu…

Hi everyone, I am building a bartop arcade and running Hyperspin 1.4. I have a question about MAME roms and how they are showing up. Right now, I have a 0.168 merged set of MAME roms that is working for the most part. My issue is that I want this machine to feel sort of like I am back in the 80s and 90s in which I grew up in the USA and played all US arcade games instead of the Japanese versions for example. My issue is that some games wont show up as the USA version, if the USA version is a clone of the parent and the parent is a European or Japanese arcade game. If I click "parent only" in HyperHQ I will not see the US versions of those games. However if I do n…

Hi guys Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I recently bought a cabinet and some Roms to get me started and I fear I have completely miffed it up. I tried to put Roms in the right places and it all seemed to be going swimmingly until I tried the Genesis and master system games and I have no sound, then the n64 games throw up a weird black box and makes the screen look funny and appears to crash, the Super Nintendo and famicom come up with path errors and exe errors and the rest of the Nintendo family have the same problems Have I really broken it badly? On the bright side mame works perfectly!! Thanks if anyone can suggest a place to start to put this mess right

I have spent about 4 hours reading things and can not seem to find out the answer to this. I have installed hyperspin with RLUI all per Austin vids. Retroarc is installed and rom path is to hyperspin rom folder. When audit all games they show up but are red. I read some things about the list names may not match. Hyper tool and don. The rom set I installed I have been using on stand alone emu on both homebrew and android. Do these not use the same naming list as hyoerspin or am I going in the wrong direction? HS and RLUI linked and working properly from what I can tell.

Hey Guys, Just did the update to the new HS followed SimlyAustin's guide. Everything worked fine during that. I just noticed that when trying to click the rom path location in HyperHQ it will crash HyperHQ and cause it to close. I am using window 10 and did give HyperHQ admin status. Also noticed that a couple of my wheels will not open from HS main wheel. Atari 2600 when you select it to go into games it does not load the wheel it just returns back to main menu. any thoughts as to what I may have done? Thanks Paul

I've just installed HyperSpin 1.4 with RocketLauncher on my Windows 10 (64-bit Pro) computer as instructed by the Simply Austin Youtube video below: There were no issues with the installation and HyperSpin loads as expected with one exception: My X-Arcade Tank Stick doesn't let me navigate. The wheel just cycles around and I cannot stop it. I have already set up the controls in HyperHQ as a keyboard controller and I was successfully able to assign my buttons, etc. but once I load up HyperSpin, the joystick does not respond. Not sure why. Any ideas how to get this to work? I had a similar setup with Windows 7 and didn't have a problem. Is there a …

Hey guys. Ive been a lurker forever, and a big fan of hyperspin. Over the past few weeks ive slowly been putting together my ideal system and fixing problems from my first install (for example, having emulators or roms in other folders, directories, etc) so this time a did a clean install.. kept hyperspin on the root of the drive.. and just basically did it the smart way this time around. I have an internal HDD that i use for my emulation projects. My thought was that if i did it right the first time, id be able to simply copy the folders to a new HDD, change the drive letter to the original drive letter, and that would be it.. My first mistake, was setting my internal dr…

Can anyone point me to a decent tutorial/guide of how to do this..Finally got around to installing VP + FP & really enjoying them, but I would love to have selecting tables looking sharp in Hyperspin (Not Hyperpin) along with some wheel art, themes (I will find & use backglass or flyer images & make my own even if I have to) &if possible Id really like to combine all tables from both emulators in a single "Pinball" wheel in HS and be able to add favorites..... I believe I read the VP frontend for pinball had those options & forgive my ignorance but from what i understand "Hyperpin" is for cabinets only? I play everything on my flat screen TV ran f…

Hi just bought a mame arcade cab running on a Dell optiplex 780. Has 1000's of mame games running in hyperspin however I'm completely lost regarding adding more emulators and roms to hyperspin. If I go into the hyperspin setup I can change from a drop down list to genesis, ps 1 etc etc then when I boot up hyperspin it will show the relevant games on the wheel either with or without videos etc but none are selectable. Now when I go into my computer and open up hyperspin file then emulators it just says mame so I don't know if I have any other emulators or not. Help would be appreciated guy Thanks

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and so far this site and forum have been a great resource, so big thanks to all those that make it possible. I have a question about hyper spin 1.4 If I understand correctly, hyper spin 1.4 allows for native joystick control over hyper spin menus without the need for joy2key or xpadder. I have a control panel set up with an ultimarc U360 joystick. Mame sees the stick and maps upload to make just fine, but I can't seem to get it to control the hyper spin menus. When I go in to hyper HQ to map the joystick controls, it doesn't seem to recognize the U360. Any one having similar issues or can point me in the right direction…

I was making a custom console section and all was well but when it came to running the games I faced an issue. My system entery plays a variaty of Sega games using the Fusion emulator but it will only launch the Master System roms, when starting a mega drive rom Fusion complains about "There is not a valid sms file in the zip". In Fusion you choose a system you would like to boot and then pick a rom, but I don't see the emulators UI (I don't want to) when running it from Hyperspin. How can I get fusion to run any supported rom extension from Hyperspin. Thanks.

Hey guys, I've set up Hyperspin and rocketlauncher on my laptop, andb it seems to me every thing is peachy on the RL side of things. Emulators and roms are set to correct paths. "I can launch selected game through RL"(rocket botton) with no problem, it works, Im happy enough just getting to this point configuring this beast. SO When I run Hyperspin its a magical experience until I select a game. For Example I get this error: "cannot find c:\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncherUI\Databases\Sega Genesis\Sega Genesis.xml" Well I followed the path it was asking and the Sega Genesis.xml is in there. My RL frontend settings is set to Hyperspin.exe on default & active. My HyperH…

Have been at this for a couple months and having ONE hell of a hard time. It's really starting to frustrate me. My original idea was to create PClone sets from Dat-O-Matic which worked out fine but I could never create an XML for HyperSpin once I cleaned my files up with clrmame. Then I decided just to stick to Hyperlists and I noticed my set had a bunch of Rev A, Rev B stuff in it ( a no intro set) which Hyperlist doesn't like, so I renamed those manually or with clrmame. Now I have all showing green in RocketLauncher games list, however if I load the same XML file used there in clrmame and scan, I get all sorts of wrong names (because it looks into the .nes file wi…

Ok guys so here is a few things. First off I bought a hyperspin setup from a Friend ( he owed me money and this was a trade off) it has basically every rom I could ever ask for on it.

The problems I am having is i know nothing about hyperspin but would like to make my arcade controls work fo systems that it makes sense to that is but I also have 2 wired 360 controls and will have 2 new kade to run the retro pads. Is there a way to make all of the work for everything simultaneously or am I out of luck. I can …

I have Hyperspin 1.4 and a freshly updated RocketLauncher running on Win 10. I'm using joytokey to map my controllers to keys. It will launch the first game without issues. when I use the exit key to exit game (esc key), it leaves a hyperspin process running, which prevents me from launching another game. if I close the process, it will launch fine when I start it up again. I have tried setting the hyperspin and rocketlauncher executables to win 7 compatibility and run as administrator. I cannot find any other ideas on how to resolve. Anyone have another suggestion?

The main point to all this is: I ran anti-virus software and it deleted HyperHQ. Hi all - I've had an arcade machine for just a few days and have been checking it all out and seeing how it works. I have become familiar with HyperHQ and everything was going well. I was reading through the forums here, trying to learn what xml files were and how I might be able to introduce PS1+2 games to the machine. Unfortunately, the previous owner seemingly allowed the Windows machine and the browsers to become overcome by malware. Every time I tried to navigate around, pop-ups would appear, pages would redirect. It annoyed me, so I installed and ran AVG, which found 36 'trojans…

I'm running into issues with my Logitech F310 controllers not playing nicely when running through Hyperspin or Rockerlauncher. 2 player doesn't work with second controller buttons seems to be mapped wrong. Lots of just strange things. However, when I load up my emulator (RetroArch) to play a NES/SNES/SEGA game the controls seem fine. I assume its a settings somewhere I'm missing, I've tried a few things like xpadder to try to resolve the issue. I'm entirely sure I headed the right direction at the moment. I was also having issues with the controllers be as responsive as I'd like, I'd sometimes have to press hard on the button to make it work when it was acting properl…

hi guys Im new here. followed Simply Austin tutorial on youtube. I am currently running hyperspin 1.4 I have been reading on the forums that the controllers should be working for hyperspin menu. I am having a problem with hyperspin where the xbox seems to be unresponsive in the wheel menu. as far as I know to get the xbox 360 controllers working is to enable it in hyperhq and make sure that it is enabled and device id is detected. I have also played around with the threshold values and they don't seem to be doing anything. please help me troubleshoot. I am not sure where to begin. The controller is working as I have Sega Genesis working and I …
