Windows 10 fix

[Jimbo6]

So I had a hard drive die on me and now I have to rebuild my arcade machine.  

Unfortunately, I loaded up windows 10 so now my hyperspin wont load and I'm having troubles finding the fixed files (assuming thats my issue). 

Does anybody out there have a link to the repaired files? 

Thanks.

I think you just need to place this dll file in your Hyperspin directory.

sxs.dll

I copied the sxs.dll from my windows/system32 directory and that didnt help. I thought that there was a fix to the hyperspin.exe or something after a win10 patch.  

This is what I get for upgrading the OS.. lol. 

I'll give it a try just incase theres something wrong with my sxs.dll. 

Thanks for helping out, dude.

You tried downloading the dll I uploaded and placed it in your Hyperspin directory or you copy/pasted it from your system32?

Because the sxs.dll in Windows 10's system32/syswow64 is not compatible with Hyperspin. There is no patch on HS exe, you only need to download the posted dll and put it in the same folder of hyperspin.exe. It's the dll used in windows7, if a dll is included in the same folder of the exe, the exe will use that dll instead of using the one in system32/syswow64. It's an old school trick 😛

OMG.  so I had tried the one from my windows/system32 folder and it didn't work.   I just tried the file you sent and *FIXED*!  Thank you FY!  you RULE!

And I appreicate the added explanation Dark13!

I downloaded the sxs.dll uploaded on this forum and placed in the same folder of hyperspin.exe (run as admin) but it didn't work for me. I have Windows 10 Pro, version 22h2, build 19045.3803. Hope it could be fixed soon!

thanks!!

Can anyone help me out with this?  I've been waiting for the downloads to come back online to get the dll file to fix win 10 but it has been over a month now.  Any chance someone could share it with me?
