Menu navigation getting "stuck"?

I am by no means a noob, but this simple problem has always alluded me, on certain games or systems if you pause for a moment and it begins to load it locks out input for a second or two and I cannot move again until it has fully loaded and sat there for a moment and then I can move again freely and as fast as I want but then if I pause for a moment I have to wait again until I can move up and down again, it feels very cumbersome and not at all a smooth experience, any and all insight into why this is happening will be greatly appreciated. ps I have a dual core i5 I dont think that this is a power issue it doesnt behave like a power issue or like lag more like hyperspin freezes me allowing to use control inputs until it decides.

You mean as it reloads each menu theme/item? You might be able to prevent it by unchecking Reload Background (I think that's what it is called) in HyperHQ. Although unchecking that will cause other weirdness.

Yes like if there is a theme it will lock me out until the theme is completely loaded and some take longer than others, so when I am more than ready to move on and keep browsing I have to sit there and wait for it to load before I can move on. I will try that now and see

just checked, reload backgrounds is unchecked already

Hmm.. well try checking it and see if you prefer it that way.

So did some further investigation and found some strange things, thats not it but I really appreciate the help it helped me start in the right direction, I turned off some of the optimizer options and that cuts load times for themes which helps but what I really realized is that when i use the keyboard I have no problem but my controller the problems come in, the crazy thing is that certain themes bother my controller and some dont, for example the turbografix 16 theme completely shuts off my controller i cannot use it again til i move off of it with the keyboard, i tested this several times, certain themes shut down my controller, so Im just gonna end this thread I dont even want to tackle this its not simple hyperspin issue ill just figure somethin else out cuz its not getting stuck with the keyboard, just my controller

Weird. I can't help you there as I only use an iPac which translates my control panel into keyboard input. Hopefully it isn't to much of a pain to get sorted. trying to fix the weird, niche problems sucks. Good luck.

I have the same problems as Willis down to the TurboGrafx-16 theme causing a total loss of control. I've tweaked everything that I can imagine without much luck. Using an XBox 360 wireless controller. I also have a very frustrating experience with the controller but a smoother experience with the keyboard. I've been tweaking this setup for many months and am about to chuck it all for another FE. Problem is... I love HyperSpin. Nothing comes close in terms of polish and splash.

Any ideas?

I am having same issue with Playstation 1 theme as soon as i select that system and let the first games media roll in my 360 stops responding my ipac and keyboard respond fine and once ive hit up or something once on them the controller responds fine very annoying but not a deal breaker. I have reload backgrounds disabled on all wheels should i enable this?

 

EDIT: Ok so i enabled reload backgrounds on PS1 and issue still remains and is worse! every time the background reloads my 360 pad stops responding. Pressing up or down on keyboard allows me to move but then pad gets stuck on the next game once the background has reloaded. I'm guessing its an issue with this theme. I will try swapping themes see if that helps.

 

EDIT 2: So i noticed the theme i was using had an animated background which is different to all other themes i was using so i swapped to a static one and all is well and fixed its a shame because this static theme doesn't have box or disc art but is basically the base theme the animated one was built on. If your pads are getting stuck and you have an animated theme swap to a static one it may fix it.

 

FIXED!

Thanks Carlo - I also had better behavior without animations enabled, but the problem still pops up with disturbing regularity.
