aufan1978 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I am having a rough time getting my joy sticks and buttons mapped for my cabinet project. I have Hyperspin installed and running it was previously set up with xpadder for use with an Xbox controller. I have watched several tutorials and the best I can get is the joysticks to work. Any advise would be super appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32assassin Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 the best way to get your joysticks to work is to map them directly to your emulator. unless you are using a joystick and an emulator from the 1990s, any modern emulator will work when you map a joystick directly to them get rid of joytokey and xpadder map your joysticks directly to your emulators and use this to map your joystick directly to control your Hyperspin menu it was made for a 360 controller but you can use any generic controller just change the button# to match your controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aufan1978 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 OK I will give this a try. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aufan1978 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 I cant seen to get the ini file..... I have the start up program in HyperHQ as E:\Arcade\Hyperspin.exe. Is that correct or is there another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32assassin Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 you should try to keep a clean install and not drag and drop programs in your Hypersion folder below is a picture of all the 3rd party utilities I have used over the years in support of Hyperspin it will be allot easier to delete them in this folder as to merging therm with your hyperspin folder create a new folder name it whatever such as utilities and drag and drop the start ups script in their E:\Arcade\Utilities\startup script\HyperSpin Startup Script.exe double click on the startup script.exe to generate your INI file. the only thng you need to do in HyperHQ is to set up so that the start up script auto loads when you start hyperspin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aufan1978 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 This may be a bit over my head... Ok I am going to do a system restore and start over. so the first thing is to get rid of xpadder and Joytokey? Then I will follow your instructions. Thanks again.

32assassin Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 after you get rid of joytokey open your emulators manually map your joysticks to each!!! emulator you have. load a rom you should be able to play your games without any joystick problems the start up script is only meant to map your joystick buttons to your hyperspin menu control inputs. your last step will be to define an emulator exit key in Rocketlauncher but we will cross that bridge when we get their.

aufan1978 Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Still not having any luck.... There is a start up script there already and it has code for xpadder... should I remove that and paste in the script you sent? As of now I can launch Hyperspin select a system but I cannot open a game. I am sure it is something small that is out of line but I cant figure it out.

32assassin Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 you might need to post pictures, because I have no idea what xpadder code you are talking about, given that I told you that you can remove Xpadder and Joytokey from your system. The Start Up Script.exe is ONLY!!!! used to navigate Hyprspin, scroll up and down a wheel, select a system , launch a system. you not being able to load a game can be an independent problem from your joystick set up. if your joystick was not working you would not be able to navigate Hyperspin and you would not be able to select a system. given that you can do those things I would think that you don't have your system set up correctly and thats why you can't' load a game. I would suggest you temporary hook up a keyboard to your system and use he keyboard to see if you can load a game. If you can then its a problem with your joystick if you can't then you know you need to fix your Hyperspin set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aufan1978 Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 I'm sorry. I am using the keyboard. I cant even launch a game when using the keyboard. I will post some pics tonight. I really appreciate you working with me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aufan1978 Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Here are some screen shots. I think I am doing what you told me to do but to no avail. please look at these and see if you can spot any errors. The start up you sent me is under NewStarup and pathed correctly i think.... The last shot is of the script that the Hyperspin came with... Should I delete that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32assassin Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 the path to your joytokey is not correct thats why you have a red circle next to it not that it matters given that your system is set up to use Xpadder if you are going to use the start of script you need to disable Xpadder Rocektlauncher will set IDs to each controller if you currently have a Preferred controller, if you are not using an Xbox controller this might be an issue if you are using anything else change this to your controllers this is for loading specific profiles for specific controllers, if you disable the key mapper it will not be a problem unless you have your own INI with multiple batch start up programs this should point to the exe not the INI (see my picture above) your start up script is not currently enabled you also have Xpadder profiles being closed along with another Mapper Antimicro.exe. all this programs need to go away if they have Hyperspin controller profiles or they will interfere with the Start Up Script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32assassin Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 forgot to mention this but your INI does not have a button mapped to start Joystick_Start= you need to change all this to match the buttons on your controller this is are the ones I changed Joystick_Genre=Joy3 Joystick_Favorites=Joy4 Joystick_Start=Joy8|Joy1 Joystick_Exit=Joy7 Joystick_Roulette=Joy2 they will more then likely not match your controller, you need to identify your button numbers and then add them to your INI file if you want your start button to be 5 then your start up button should be Joystick_Start=Joy5 I have it set up to use two different buttons 1 or 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aufan1978 Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Ok For some reason Hyperspin still will not recognize my emulators.... Here is the start up script that is running. can you see anything that is keeping Hyperspin from finding my joysticks and buttons? Windows see the joysticks and buttons and they test fine ... but nothing when I launch Hyperspin. Can you think of any other screen shots I need to send you?

32assassin Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 the only thing I can think of is to make sure that the start up script exe is actually running when you launch Hyperspin launch Hyperspin in window mode go to your task bar and see if you find the start up script exe running or do an ctrl+alt+delete to bring up your process Task manager. Hyperspin Start Up Script.exe should be running when Hyperspin.exe is running and it should close when you exit hyperspin. and double check to make sure that joystick use in HyperHQ is disabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aufan1978 Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 Am keep getting this message when i have the path set to INI, and it does appear that the start up script is not running in the when i check task manager. What are your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32assassin Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 missed this HyperSpin_Folder_Path=E:\Arcade\hyperspin.exe it should be HyperSpin_Folder_Path=E:\Arcade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aufan1978 Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 YAY! I can navigate Hyperspin now! OK so now what is the next step in mapping the the emulators to the systems? I used the tab function but it only wants to see the keyboard as player 1. i changed the max number of joysticks to 6 so now all 4 joys can work hyperspin. thank you so much we are getting close!

aufan1978 Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 OK! I need a bit more help/advise please. Systems like MUGEN and a few others will load and games will load up for play but I cant map the joy sticks. The Keyboard can operate the games but my normal push the tab key and map the game doesn't work.... Any thoughts on this? Is this a script issue? Here is what the cabinet looks like just got the marquee ordered! Again all your help is very appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
