mmd48 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 hello everyone, im new to the arcade world i built a pedestal cabinet powered by a pc, I'm having a very hard time concerning actually running the system is hyperspin easy to install or would I need to have coding skills as I have been told? please help thanks
jamesriley72281 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 You don't need any coding skills to run Hyperspin. Especially if you are using it with Rocketlauncher. While there is a learning curve, if you can think logically and realize that file names all need to match what is on the .xml databases you will be fine. Most people try and download a bunch of random things, plug em in and expect it to work. It's not always that simple. Plus the community on this board is always here to help when issues come up.
jamesriley72281 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Oh shit, I didn't even say. GREAT LOOKING SETUP!!
mmd48 Posted February 15, 2018 Author Posted February 15, 2018 hahaha thanks alot there are some minor faults to be honest, but i think I did pretty good for a first build, my main concern was assigning the buttons to what they are supposed to do in the games, I'm gonna go for it and I' confident with you guys's help it shall live!!!
jamesriley72281 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 I just did my first too and yea, you learn a lot of the fly lol. Are you using an iPAC by chance? If so they auto map to Mame defaults which is super nice.
mmd48 Posted February 16, 2018 Author Posted February 16, 2018 oh man I wanted to but I was told I could just use the zero delay encoder so I got 4, do all player's buttons need to be wired to the same ports?
mmd48 Posted February 16, 2018 Author Posted February 16, 2018 also if you could post some pics of your build id love to see it !!!
jamesriley72281 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 I'm honestly not sure on the zero delay encoder. Never used one. I will get some pics up soon, more function over form on my end for sure lol
mmd48 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Posted February 18, 2018 glad to hear it, i decided to get a better pc to run the arcade, so I think this project will take a while to be completly done
jamesriley72281 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Good call, best to do it right than rush it. Sadly it's brutal building a pc at this time. I'm looking to upgrade my gpu so I can run in 4k as HLSL effects look amazing in 4k, but 1060s are crazy overpriced from crypto craze.
mmd48 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Posted February 19, 2018 hahaha yeah I can imagine these projects dont come cheap, but i know it will all be worth it in the end .
