windows 7 Hyperspin wont load !stuck!

[Marcoqwerty]

Hello!

Im stuck with this issue that is killing my mood, i alerady have 4 cab with different spec and i had solved all the time every kind of issue without any problem, but this is weird.

I have windows 7 with hyperspin and suddenly the exe of Hyperpin, HyperHQ and Hypertheme decided to dont load on one of my 15hz cab.

Idk what happen also because the same evening i play several times before and all was fine.

ISSUE : Hyperspin HyperHQ Hypertheme load quickly and after shoutdown (im able to see them for one second under Activity Process)

This what i did meanwhile:

- Updated the Hyperspin version to the 1.5.1

- Admin permission to everything

- Stopped the Defender Service

- Copy the whole HS folder from another pc (in the other works also if its under the USB drive, in the one with the issue NO)

Actually im stuck and i have no other idea.

I did only few things from the first play and the "issue discovering" :

- Updated the Virus Definition and some other Update (these last one fail)

- Install modeline for Mame (and change some settings into the .ini of Mame)

Other stuff that i test:

- Hyperlaunch works perfectly

- Mame and other emulators works

Good if i will able to know what happens while i load these files, but from the Event Manager i see nothing of relevant (or there is some other way to take a deep look)

This is the first time that happen and im totally lost, then after few hours of deep reserch i decided to ask here!

I hope to find a solution, or at least some idea to try, probably this is related to the cab for sure; i was thinking something about the Defender but after deactivated all i lost the hope.

Thank you ! 😟

Did you try the sxs.dll in HS folder like on windows 10? It comes from windows 7 but maybe it has been updated before EOL...

Try also to reboot, sometimes HS got stuck in the background

Maybe this could be the issue?

If you're using the Hyperspin frontend, you need to be aware that it has a bug that prevents it from starting if the number of video modes available in the system exceeds a certain amount (usually between 80-100 video modes, but the figure is uncertain and depends on the particular system). In this situation, the frontend will silently crash upon startup.

It is possible to reduce the total number of modes created by VMMaker, using the TotalModes option in vmmaker.ini. This way, you can find out the upper limit that works for your particular system by simple trial and error. But for doing this VMMaker will need to drop some modes, and it might end up dropping modes that could be required for some games.

A better option is to use "magic resolutions" if you're in XP, or "super resolutions" for Windows 7. These two methods guarantee perfect results with a very short mode list. However their use is restricted to GroovyMAME/UME, so the rest of emulators still require normal resolutions in order to work.

SOLVED

Ok the issue was related to these resolution, i miss this BUG from Hyperspin and its weird that i always install these resolution without issues.

BTW

The step to fix this is to lower the number of resolution also if you are using the SUPER RESOLUTION (Groovymame)

I select 100 Resolution and setup all with Super Resolution.

Hyperspin back to life.
