Roadrunner Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 silly question but couldnt you just edit the PC Games module game path[street Fighter IV] ; gamePath = C:\Program Files (x86)\CAPCOM\STREETFIGHTERIV\sfiv.exe ; params = and just point to C:\windows\explorer.exe to get HS to launch explorer That would be a great idea if it actually worked. Could you also create a wheel that launches Windows within Hyperspin? Of course if you did this though, you wouldn't be able to hit 'Escape' while in Windows right?
Roadrunner Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Changed the Welcome Screen today. I did notice however that the Welcome screen is the same as the shutdown screen. Anyway to make the shut down screen different or eliminate it altogether?
yingxuy Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 To the left of the local computer "explorer.exe" Shell value, I can still pull up into the start Hyperspin start explorer.exe in Task Manager, and get the desktop.
whiLd Posted December 3, 2011 Author Posted December 3, 2011 Changed the Welcome Screen today. I did notice however that the Welcome screen is the same as the shutdown screen. Anyway to make the shut down screen different or eliminate it altogether? Are you wanting completely different art, or just a different message with the same background?
Roadrunner Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Are you wanting completely different art, or just a different message with the same background? Completely different art would be cool.
whiLd Posted December 3, 2011 Author Posted December 3, 2011 USE AT YOUR OWN RISK The only thing I can think of is to do something that is outlined in this tutorial: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/31916-log-screen-change-remove-text-branding.html If you choose to use this, I highly recommend making a system restore point before any changes, and make up back ups of any files you change. This tutorial doesn't show how to specifically change the shutdown screen, but you will get an idea of how to do it. The tutorial above is to change any of the default windows graphics. This changes windows .dll files. If anyone else knows a better, easier safer way please post.

whiLd Posted December 3, 2011 Author Posted December 3, 2011 The different message also uses the method above sorry. I dont know much about any of this stuff...this is just what I've found that works for me. I'm sure there are better ways to go about these things.
Roadrunner Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Hi, I tried this and it's not working for some reason. I've followed all the steps. At the end of it all though, I get a pop up screen that asks me if I want to save console changes. I've clicked yes. It just reboots in windows. Maybe I have the wrong path? I tired the following different options: hyperspin hyperspin.exe c:hyperspin c:\hyperspin What should I be doing here?
evil eye Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Did you put the Hyperspin exe in the startup folder?
Pyramid_Head Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Awesome guide dude! I got everything running finally on my cab including hiding the branding,welcome,shutting down etc... I'm using an old 20" CRT TV via S-video. The problem is I can't seem to get the new bootscreen working via Windows 7 boot updater. Though upon doing it the first time everything worked until I started getting rid of the branding text etc.. now it just shows a black screen until Windows (Hyperspin) boots. I did read somewhere around here that putting the Windows resolution at 1024x768 would work but it didn't OS is Windows 7 Ultimate X64 no sp1 or updates (didn't bother with these as I couldn't get the branding stuff to disappear with SP1) Anyone else have this problem? Here is my bootscreen. I took the Metal Slug one (I'd give credit to the original author if I could remember lol) and added some text to it. http://www.mediafire.com/?91ti49yg72xho7q
whiLd Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 have you tried restoring the default boot screen, then re-select the custom boot screen using the Windows 7 Boot Updater? Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk

I'll keep messing with it of course.
whiLd Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 did you use Instant Sheller program at any point? Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
Pyramid_Head Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Yeah could that be the cause? I know it's not able to change the boot screen in Windows 7.
whiLd Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 I think that may be your issue. Instant Sheller works weird on windows 7 64 bit. Restore the Instant Sheller options to default and see if that fixes it. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
Pyramid_Head Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Damn it won't let me undo the changes. I get some "Unhandled exception" error
whiLd Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 ewww. system restore if its not too long ago? Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
Pyramid_Head Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 For some reason System restore only has today listed. I even chose "show more" but it still showed today. I just did this yesterday too Any other way?
whiLd Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 may need to search your Instant Sheller error on Google, or search some forums on how to restore the defaults. if I find anything, I'll post it. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk

Pyramid_Head Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I'm guessing boot.ini was an XP thing? I found a copy of it on the same HDD since I ran Xp before on the same system and it said registry back to normal so I'm gonna try. I'll post my results
Pyramid_Head Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Yep looks like that worked! Looks like I won't be using Instant sheller for Windows 7 anymore ha ha. Thanks for suggesting that!

JaronSenna Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Hi whiLd, Thanks for sharing all this info. I followed your links, tips and tricks and have almost gotten rid of any Windows 7 stuff on my cabinet. Unfortunately I am running Home Premium so I have not been able to really shell Hyperspin. That also leaves on startup and shutdown the "progress" indicator (that turning ring thingy) on the screen, even though I was able to remove all text (like shutting down, etc). If anybody knows how to get those last ring things to Mordor, please share. Otherwise I just came here to thank you guys for all this info!
