HyperSpin 1.5.1 Public Release

DOWNLOAD HERE

UPGRADE ONLY DOWNLOAD

With this new release, we're fixing a bug that was reported on the forums. While we were at it, we added a new feature: Animated Wheels.

SWF wheels are animated wheels using the SWF format which can be created using Adobe Flash or Adobe Animate. The output SWF file can be placed in the wheel image directory just like other PNG images. Wherever there exists a PNG wheel image and a SWF wheel image with the same name, the SWF will take priority when showing on the wheel. SWF wheel items will load and be initially paused on the first frame while spinning the wheel. When you land on a menu item there will be a brief delay, then the SWF will begin playback. Further instructions and the demo swf are attached below.

 

Demo 1942 SWF Wheel:

HyperSpin 1.5.1 from EmuMovies on Vimeo.

INSTRUCTIONS:

If you already have an install of HyperSpin, all you need is the .exe files for HyperSpin, HyperTheme, and HyperHQ. Otherwise, unpack to the desired location as usual. 

 

Changelog: 

• Animated Wheels
• Windows 10 (1803) Support

 

From the whole team, I want to give a huge thank you to everyone that reported the recent Windows 1803 issue and worked with us to debug the problem.

[ninja2bceen]

perfection. Thanks again!

btw, is it just hyperspin exe that gets updated or should I save over hyper hq and hyper theme from this as well? seems like hyperspin exe got updated and is what matters. While the rest of the contents in the zip are for new installs?

New wheel animations look great! Thanks!

HyperHQ and HyperTheme both need to be updated to work in Windows 10 v1083

[ninja2bceen]

thank you very much! looking fwd to what else you all have up your sleeves.

Noticed with HyperTheme the splash screen is gone away now but runs ok. Can't wait to try out animated wheels very nice addition guys!

HyperMarquee is working with the new update as well.

Thanks again for the update and new feature.

I really love to see that hyperspin keeps alive. One thing that I want to see in the future it's native 16:9 aspect support or a simple way to convert themes. I have to convert manually a lot of themes because many only can be found in 4:3 aspect.

Understood. This is definitely on the todo list.

Great work thanks guys!

Animated wheels very cool! I might have to bite the bullet and get a program that deals in swf.

Adobe software was really to expensive for my taste and buggy I found when I was using it. There are cheaper alternatives such as SoThink’s Quicker which is what I use and also I have seen KoolMoves which Is pretty cheap but I think they are moving away from flash with there latest releases due to decline in flash popularity. I really like using flash myself it’s easy to create and add animations to HyperSpin themes and now wheels!!

Yeh I've been holding off for those reasons, i'll look into those other programs you mentioned though as I was under the impression it was adobe or nothing for this stuff. Good to know there are other options!

Cool stuff and very nice write up on the new feature, whoever that was.

It was a new member. Something like @BadBoyBill or something.

Hey @fr0stbyt3 and the HS team, Thanks a lot for a new release.

 

I was wondering if you guys could reproduce a problem with MAME when using portaudio? You guys can test this by sending the following to MAME:

From what I've been told HS needs an update so portaudio has exclusive control over the audio device.

 

mame64 nameofgame -sound portaudio -pa_api "Windows WASAPI" -pa_latency 0.003334 -audio_latency 1

or

mame64 nameofgame -sound portaudio -pa_api "Windows WDM-KS" -pa_latency 0.003334 -audio_latency 1

Thanks to everyone who worked so quickly to get this out to us. Kudos.

[connorsdad]

Nice

Did this fix the HyperHQ crashing in Windows 10 by chance?

 

And since you guy have the source code open and what not, think it would be possible to fix the joystick issue?

@fr0stbyt3 we should have sorted that info post out we spoke about it!

Excellent (and fast) work, thanks!  Would anyone care to comment on what the underlying issue was please?  As a developer, I'm curious what in 1803 had changed that caused the issue.  FWIW, I tried debugging it myself, but didn't get very far before the release came out.

Please create your own thread for your problem as your problem is not relevant to this topic.

It had to do with one of the dependencies being out of date. This was something very HyperSpin specific and wouldn't really be helpful to other developers. We can take it to PM if you have specific questions though. I'll answer what I can.
