seph Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 It turned off the tv, kept the monitor on, and ran hs on the monitor. Once hs quits, it returns everything to normal. Almost, just switch things around. Make it turn off the monitor, keep the tv on, run hs on the tv. And leave the rest as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seph Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Almost! Wow, thanks in advance, this may actually work. It is switching displays correctly, even launching and switching displays properly from my xbmc setup! My monitor is 1280X1024 The TV is 1920X1080 I switched hyperHQ to full screen, and added 1920X1080. However, when hs starts on the tv, it changes the resolution to a lower one (which in turn crashes the xbmc when I start it from there.) Is there any way to have hs started with the correct resolution from your magical .exes or am I missing something from hyperHQ settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connorsdad Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I'm not sure what I can do as I've just tried the exe myself to check if there was a timing issue and it works perfectly. My setup consists of 2 screens, 1 set at 1920 X 1080 and the 2nd screen at 1280 X 1024, I can switch between the screens without a problem. Could it be something you could change in xbmc?

connorsdad Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 You need to make sure any programs or emulators you launch from hyperspin have the same resolution (1920 X 1080) or this could cause you problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seph Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 yep, this is indeed going to be hard, or I have to find another solution. If my xbmc is running on tv, and I want it to stay running on tv while I use the pc it has to be set on true full screen. Otherwise clicking anything on the monitor will just make it disappear. Your .exe worked perfect connorsdad, I just had to turn off that feature in xbmc to realise this. So if I'd want to use this .exe, I'd have to find another way to keep xbmc in foreground if it's running and hs isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connorsdad Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Look at the urls I posted above, if they don't fix your issue I may be able to create an exe that will launch xbmc and keep it in focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbee Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hi connorsdad, would it be possible for you to to redo the script using my hyperspin location of D:\Arcade\HyperSpin.exe? Id like to try this out. Thanks in advance. Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy1970 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 my setup 2 monitors side by side left monitor is the second monitor that is the main screen while monitor 1 is on the right extended screen both in 768X1366 rez side by side here is the edit i made to get hyperspin on to extended monitor in hq Settings.ini or in hq full screen off [Resolution] FullScreen=false Width=-1366 Height=768 Scanlines_Active=false Scanlines_Image= Scanlines_Scale=2 Scanlines_Alpha=0.1 NOTICE THIS LINE Width=-1366 I USED - SYMBOL BEFORE 1366 AND IT SHOT THE WHOLE HYPERSPIN WINDOW TO THE EXTENDED MONITOR **** EDIT Looks like it defaults at 768X1280 as window so i put Width=-1700 and it centers on the extended monitor. LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT TO GO BACKWARDS KIDS, PLEASE EXPERIMENT WITH BIGGER NUMBERS IF YOU GOT A 3RD MONITOR, REPORT BACK!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
