I would also like to know how you would do this.

I use a loader exe file or a batch file if I want to put additional commands before. Essentially these files only put a 5 second pause prior to the start up of Hyperspin and it works just fine. Win 7 x64 system.

The loader or batch is in the start up folder.

rfancella: Here is what you do...

rfancella: Right click on it and choose either edit or open in notepad.

rfancella: Once the new file is open, type this into it and save it. It's only four lines.

rfancella: @echo off

rfancella: ping 127.0.0.1 > NUL

Me: C:\Hyperspin Arcade Project\HyperSpin.exe"

Me: @echo off

ping 127.0.0.1 > NUL

start ""

"C:\Hyperspin Arcade Project\HyperSpin.exe"

exit

rfancella: Cool. Now right click on that cmd file and choose copy.

rfancella: Go to your Startup folder and rightclick and choose paste shortcut.

rfancella: Right click on your start button and choose Explore All Users?

rfancella: Then double click on Programs

rfancella: Then double click on Startup?

rfancella: Click Start. Then click All Programs. Then right click on Startup and choose Explore All Users.

rfancella: That should be it. Reboot and see if it works.

Me: HSboot.cmd - Shortcut

Me: so like this

rfancella: Move it to the Startup folder in your Start Menu.

rfancella: Just drag and drop it there.

Missed a couple steps and the lines did not copy and paste right. I have modified the conversation below:

Here is what you do...
Navigate to your HyperSpin folder and create a new text document there.
Rename it to HSBoot.cmd
Right click on it and choose either edit or open in notepad.
Once the new file is open, type this into it and save it. It's only four lines:

@echo off
ping 127.0.0.1 > NUL
start "" "C:\Hyperspin Arcade Project\HyperSpin.exe"
exit

Only, on line three, point to your HyperSpin.exe file.  Be sure and save it.
Now right click on that cmd file and choose copy.
Click Start. Then click All Programs. Then right click on Startup and choose Explore All Users.
Right click and choose paste in that window.
Close the window and make sure it's in your Startup Folder in your Start menu.
Go ahead and double click it to test.
If it works for you, reboot.

Thanks,

Ron

Oh, one more thing.

If you right click the shortcut in your Startup folder and choose Properties.

On that window in the Shortcut tab, change the Run: from Normal Window to Minimized so it will not be seen.

Thanks,

Ron

Hi rfancella, should there be an " at the start of C:\Hyperspin Arcade Project\HyperSpin.exe" line?

Yes there should be. Post edited.

There is probably a much more elegant way of doing this, but this is easy and should work for most. This also allows you to add in more programs to start before or after HS.

Thanks,

How do I launch XPadder from a batch file so I can navigate the HS menu.
