kincaid76 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 So i just learned about hyperspin about 2 weeks ago. Now building a cabinet. Figured i would just jump right in. Started with the plans for Moon patrol cab. But morphing it to suit my tastes. First widened it to 30". May expand the screen to a 32" later. Right now got a 20" monitor off ebay for $45.

kincaid76 Posted June 13, 2017 Author Posted June 13, 2017 This is going to reside in my hallway. I want it to look like an old arcade. Might to a Donkey Kong theme. So from the side i want it to appear old. But when you get up to it, it obviously has more to it. Anyway this is as far as i got tonight. Tomorrow will mount the door and hardware. Still need to cut the acrylic for marquee and screen. And build the control panel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
shitoken Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 You are fast mate. What I did was at beginning I use my working computer to build up my hyperspin disk drive system by system with all the information here during my spare times. It took me years to full load my drive and buy new drives to expand. Finally after all I decided to build a cabinet . You are real fast mate. Hehe Tapatalk を使用して私の MIX から送信
kincaid76 Posted June 13, 2017 Author Posted June 13, 2017 Ya i bought a computer loaded with hyperspin and mame. The other emulators are not linked and have no roms. So will need to learn how to set this up. But i at least have a system that runs mame for now. Thats why i jumped on the cabinet now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
kincaid76 Posted June 13, 2017 Author Posted June 13, 2017 Progress so far. Waiting for my t-molding to come in the mail. And trying to work out what buttons i need. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
kincaid76 Posted June 14, 2017 Author Posted June 14, 2017 What extra buttons do i need to navigate hyperspin? Other than the coin and player 1 & 2 buttons. Escape, Enter, Pause, Reset? Will i be good with just these?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Avar Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Depends on all the menu features you want but there's Genre, Favorites on top of the regular stuff so yeah that'd prolly be enough.

Man, i will have to get creative. I didn't give my self much room for controls. Oops. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Avar Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Off the top of my head there's Start/Confirm Cancel/Back/Exit Genre Favourites UDLR (with holding L/R loading letters for quick browsing the index)
ci2own Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 @kincaid76 This is my Control Panel template and it covers almost all. If have any doubt, just ask me.
kincaid76 Posted June 14, 2017 Author Posted June 14, 2017 Wow i need more buttons than i planned. So i have japan style buttons with the 4 useless turbo, auto, mode buttons. Can i buy a 3rd one of these boards to get more buttons? Will i be able to configure another one of these boards later? Or am i totally using the wrong board setup for what i am trying to do?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can map shifted buttons if want, so you can use the same button for various purposes.Enviado desde mi iPhone utilizando Tapatalk Pro
shitoken Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 You can use shift buttons for Genre / Fav If you are adding Pinball then you will need 2 more buttons on each side.
kincaid76 Posted June 15, 2017 Author Posted June 15, 2017 Cool thanks for the help! I am almost finished with the cabinet. Moved it into the house. Just need to mount the joy sticks and wire everything up. Then start mapping the buttons and controls. Will do graphics later. I want to just get it working first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

kincaid76 Posted June 15, 2017 Author Posted June 15, 2017 Will i be able to scroll the hyperspin menus with one of the player joysticks? Or do i need a separate input device? Like a spinner or a 3rd joystick? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So you would need 8 (or a combination of various buttons)
kincaid76 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Posted June 16, 2017 All done for now. Got my cab wired. Windows sees my joysticks as generic and can see button presses. But with hyper and mame they are unresponsive. So learning how to map keys. To the Tutorials!
kincaid76 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Posted June 16, 2017 Had the controls working only in hyperspin for a minute. Restarted hyperspin and now can get nothing to work. Very frustrated. Windows & HyperlaunchHQ see my inputs. But run Hyperspin and they are dead. At this point i have no clue what is wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
kincaid76 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Posted June 16, 2017 Got joysticks working again. Then went into mame and started mapping the buttons and controls from the tab menu. I changed the up down controls to the joystick. Now i cannot scroll up down in this config menu. So i cant change what i just did. Is there a way to change to default settings in mame?
kincaid76 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Posted June 16, 2017 Got it all working. Took a bit to figure all this out!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

kincaid76 Posted June 17, 2017 Author Posted June 17, 2017 There is not really a name on it. All the tutorials i read said to disable joysticks in HyperHQ controls menu. And this makes my controls not work. I think because they are seen as generic game pads in windows. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
ci2own Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 Maybe you will need to use a program like Joy2key or xpadder to map the keys.
