need help, new to hyperspin.

[Super Famicom]

Hi, I'm new to hyperspin, I have just got a 2tb drive with 85 ststems from hyperspin-systems.com. Im having trouble launching games from capaom systems 3. i also cant TAB and adjust controls in atomiswave and others. and i also need help with adjusting resolutions and other settings in different emulators. Can anybody help me with these things? Im a noob and also pretty new to pc's. been a mac guy for years and now just getting into pcs. but have been a gamer since day one. im 35 and have been gaming since 82/83. PLEASE HELP!

[craiganderson]

I wish u luck.....but just FYI.......many folks on here are not too keen on folks ordering those pre-set up / paid-for systems.......just FYI.....good luck

.....because none of the money goes to the actual folks who create the themes or artwork or HYPERsPIN itself....

Sorry, I didnt know that? i just found out about hyperspin not to long ago and liked it alot since im a huge retro gamer. wasnt tryin to offend anybody. just needed some help getting it working. i dont understand how to adjust the controls in some systems.

[gigapig]

Sorry to hear you've bought one of those, is it not guaranteed, or can't you talk to the guy who sold it to you? Surely they have a customer service department of there own forum.

Those drives look like a good idea but are a waste of money. If you get a drive setup a specific way probably with custom applications and all sorts of other goodies you end up with a "black box" that only the original creator understands. If anything goes wrong they have you over a barrel and can charge you more money to send you "updates" or whatever they want. You are at their mercy because you don't know "how the black box works"

Now I'm not saying delete the ROMs or anything. Far from it. What I'm suggesting is setup HyperSpin on another drive such as your C:\ drive and do it from scratch and then just point the emulators to the ROMs etc on your 2GB external. You will then learn how to do stuff and your money won't be an entire waste. Start with tutorials you find in my signaturt or gigapigs. You will find the basics pretty simple once you get your head around the work flow.

I see,that makes alot of sense. I like the idea of working on it a little at a time and building it. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

[craiganderson]

Question for everybody: is there anything on the system he purchased that the hyperspin community doesn't have? Perhaps he could upload it to the ftp? Wheel art? Discs? Anybody know this offhand? Would be a good way to get a little even with the guys selling these systems

[craiganderson]

And _, of course__only of he wanted to upload. Its his drive. His money. Etc....

[gigapig]

And _, of course__only of he wanted to upload. Its his drive. His money. Etc....

And if he was willing to spend more money on Gold or Platinum membership. Now that would have been money better spent.

[craiganderson]

Well.....if there is anything worth sharing.....he could dropbox it to someone.....and then that Person could upload to FTP

Win win

Community gets some new artwork etc

Get to share one stuff from the guys selling these things.....LOL

New guy/gal gets help setting up system .... As he has made amends (by sharing) for his transgression (joking)

Just a thought....

Our desire is to get our Hyperspin systems to all users through high cuality devices

Cuality? We're dealing with a genius of the highest caliber.

There's some artwork I've never seen, but when you watch gamecube, DS, and scumm it's obvious this guy doesn't have full lists. I'll bet it's a bust.

Sure, I dont mind helpinh out at all, Im just having troulbe with my set up. I can get into mover very game but I cant configure the controls in anything except MAME,NEO GEO, and CAPCOM. I dont understand how to congigure the controls in each system. I press tab and it brings up the imput general in make,neo geo and cap com. I also cant get out of anything once im playing it. esc does not work, it only works in MAME, i have to force it close with task manager. or restart the whole thing. how can i just get out of systems more easy? i also tryed stting up the contol in hyper hq and setting up thr exit key but it doesnt work. I dunno. BUT LIKE I SAID, IM DOWN TO HELP OUT IN ANY WAY I CAN. I understand that you guys work really hard and it pisses you off that people are selling drives and you get nothing. Im sorry thats what going on but I had no idea.

[Super Famicom]

I can get into almost every game (second sentence)

Contact the seller.

It isn't right for him to sell you a product and then have you rely on our community - one which he stole intellectual property from - to be your free technical support.

You should do as suggested and start over with a fresh install. Then we will be glad to help you. We have no idea how he set up that drive and we certainly don't approve of it. Why should we delve into it - to create an online resource to further him in his goal of monetizing our community?

Only the (illegal) roms from that drive are salvageable. See if you can get your money back.

pretty much every system/emulator is going to have different ways of manipulating options

that is why it takes months and months and years to set 85 systems up correctly

I'll help you. But, these guys are right. I have absolutely no idea what kind of programming that dude must have done to try to make this plug n play. If you want support, you'll have to start from scratch. There is no way around it. Essentially you purchased a bunch of illegal roms, and free media. Its not even going to save you that much time in the long run because you're going to have to learn how to manipulate these programs, AND learn the basics of emulation. Hyperspin and Hyperlaunch and every one of your emulators should be replaced, not only because its the right thing to do, but because every machine / setup is different, and the best way for all of us to communicate is to get on the same page with "fresh installed/version/no settings changed" on emulators. The same can be said for hyperspin itself. We all know what a blank slate install looks like and does - have no idea what yours does.

By the way, the most likely reason you can only change your controls in those systems is that they are all using the MAME emulator. Other systems use other emulators with other requirements for configuration. Again, I have no idea what emulators you're using so beyond that I can't help until you start over.

[Polemicist]

That's the thing about doing it yourself. You would have downloaded the emulator from the official site and the guys making the emulators would have made a few cents out of advertising on the website and you would have got to read the setup instructions. Most are pretty easy but it depends on your requirements. I always say that you should think about the future and what you intend to do with your setup. Maybe now you think you just want it on your computer but later you might decide to buy a premade arcade controller like a tank stick. Or perhaps you will go all out and build an Arcade machine with LED Blink controlled lighting. So yeah I say think big expect small to stick around for a while.

With that in mind try to come up with a common keyboard config. You will find one that is sort of worked on in the HyperSpin Project that I flesh out based on a lot of suggestions from around the place but it never got finalised due to a couple of naysayers. It would be a start to look at it anyway. My only main recommendation there is try to avoid the use of CTRL, ALT, SHIFT as much as possible due to these being modifier keys and could cause menus etc to pop up in the middle of your games.

Now once you are happy with your keyboard layout and what keys you want to use you have in my opinion got a lot of what's required to configure the emulator. Open up HyperLaunchHQ and take a look at the module notes for the emulators you currently already see on your drive. (remember that we are not going to touch this drive just use its data) oh and I forgot to say I am assuming you have set up from scratch HyperSpin based on a written tutorial or gigapigs video tutorials and you can at least run a Mame game. Every module has great notes. I'm currently on a train to work at 4:17am so don't have my rig in front of me. In the notes you will find some links to the official sites unfortunately some of these have died over time (lack of money and dead projects) but most are still around and many are actively updated. Read the notes. Have a look on these forums using the Google search trick you see in my signature for info about those emulators. Read the official site and I would say you will have each of the emulators setup and running in 20 minutes for most.

Oh I failed to mention it is a good idea to keep things in a logical order. I have everything in individual folders and I'm even worse that I actually put icons on all my folders

You are also more than welcome to go through my photo bucket library as this one is only used on forums and mainly this one.

Think that link will work.

Anyway that's a start. Won't bombard you with information overload.

[gigapig]

Funny isn't it, how the poor buyers pick these drives up in the hope of saving time or just not being the type of person who could set all this up from scratch. They then end up with the complete opposite and less money in the pocket.

@Super Famicom.no one here is ever upset with the buyer, you probably should have researched it before dropping cash, especially if there is no way to return it. But the sellers are all greedy assholes.

[jq_quint]

I understand how this istuation annoys folk on here but its harsh to suggest "the community won't help", give the guy a break..

Super - Your need to break down your queries dude. Your initial question scope is very large and hence will hinder an exact answer.

So lets start with controls. You say that mame controls (& neo geo) are ok so this suggests that the mame emu controls were already preset and that you knew somehow what they were.

So let us know which is the next system that the controls don't work? Its important that you test these systems work outside of Hyperspin even though I guess you have paid for a fully integrated system. So open up a system direct from its emu and then test the controls, if they dont work report back OR look throughn the menu's available, your looking for config type menu's that allow you to reset your keys...

[craiganderson]

So does anybody have a problem with snagging some artwork from the purchased product? If the OP is OK with sharing?

I'm gonna look through the video and see if there is anything good.

And i will be willing to help out as well with his setup.

[twmac]

What I want to know is how he fit 85 systems on a 2tb, I have like 12 systems with psx & gamecube which are around 1.2 tb together alone.

Your assuming Roms are included on the drive, PS2 is quoted as being on the drive , but we know that's impossible.

[Fromlostdays]

For the big systems they didn't look full list, which also makes me think there isn't going to be much artwork really worth grabbing. There's a lot of hyperspin official stuff, and the rest may not be complete. I watched the entire video already. For some systems it looks like Auto Wheel might have been used. I was interested to see if for Atari Jag he had videos besides the "This does not work" emumovies.mp4s, but he only shows maybe 5 titles per system, and I think for some systems those were mapped out in advance to show game themes. There are some nice floppy disk wheels for I think it was amstrad that I've never seen.

By the by I don't think anyone is annoyed with the buyer. But as stated, it can be difficult to offer any advice based on 4 terabytes of unknowns. I have a few questions. For instance, I know for sure that BSNES stores files in your appdata folder on the C drive. I couldn't find a way to change this (I'm no guru mind you) so how could emulators like that be plug and play on an external? I know this because I moved my emulator directory to another hard drive once and a bunch of "cannot find this file" errors popped up all over.

[gigapig]

According to this blurb everything is included on the drive, even to configure resolutions and configure controls, just what the OP was asking for.

A large part of the clasics systems works with a computer without high performance but for most modern emulators is needed a computer with a more powerful processor and a medium performance graphics card; for example a Dual Core or i3 with 4GB RAM and GeForce EN210 or similar.
It can be easily configured to boot directly into Hyperspin and that Windows be completely hidden to achieve realistically emulate an arcade cabinet. In the HDD you have all the tools for this and many more utilities; including several to add new games, systems or modify the existing system according to your wishes.

Hyperspin is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 in both 32 and 64 bits versions.





The controls are configurable to your preferences either joystick, gamepad, X-arcade, keyboard&mouse, i-pac, PC2Jamma, etc...

Similarly, you can adjust the screen resolutions and the emulation performance according of your computer characterisstic and the type of monitor you use.

We hope you enjoy it and will provide endless hours of entertainment and fun!

And hang on, here's the sting in the tail, it's old Hyperspin and old Hyperlaunch, of which Hyperlaunch 2,5 is no longer supported and probably most of us would have no clue how to trouble shot it.

Hyperspin's version is the latest available, the v.1.2 and modules hyperlaunch launcher is also included v2.25d latest build, support next Hyperspin2.0
