HyperSpin Shelled on Windows 7 Solved and Working!

[jamaster14]

So I've been able to completely remove all traces of windows 7 during bootup/logon with the exception of the mouse pointer/blue busy wheel.

I've gone into the control panel and mouse pointers and changed the default arrow/blue circle with a black dot cursor. the changes were made inside of windows, but during boot up it defaults back to the old pointer and blue circle

any tips on changing this... so close to having it done!

You need to delete the blue circle image like you did on the windows branding it's not a mouse animation it's a PC one

is that in imagares.dll?

if so ive removed that, but the blue circle still shows between the windows animation screen and the logon screen. I was able to hide it by replace the:

Normal select, working in background, and busy cursors to a custom dot.cur cursor that is just a small black dot. I also need to change those curses in the registry before it would work, doing it through the control panel didnt change it in pre-windows boot enviornments.

the machine im working with is an older laptop (core 2 duo, 4 GB RAM, 7200 rpm drive) so it does some thinking between screens/logon/hyperspin at which point the pointers appear. i assume this isnt neccessary on better hardware, especially ones running on solid state drives

Try XBMC launcher, you can disable load xbmc at startup and have support to external apps. Like hyperspin, and it works in windows 8 too http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=136798

Just a quick tip... CTRL+SHIFT+ESC will open the task manager directly, rather than the menu.

For some reason when I follow the welcome screen text removal it didn't work even using the Cmd prompt

Any one else have the same?

Also try using group policy - custom UI if you are using the pro version or above of Windows 7 onwards. Works great and is the easiest way to shell. If you're using Windows 8 it gives a super clean boot directly to HyperSpin (or any other exe) as Windows 8 does have all the loading / welcome screens people often want to remove.

Building a dedicated HyperSpin box, and this worked perfect (going Win7 Ultimate for this build). Boots with Hyperspin loading screen, a nice background for the welcome screen (Space Invader), and then directly into HyperSpin via GPO. Exit goes into Windows for the time being, but will eventually be shutdown. I'm hoping when everything is completed, I can edit ini's and others and update ROM's via the network.

I feel like an addict with this software. Always want to do more, do it better, and just keep going. It's never perfect, there is always something else I want to do!

I am using Win 7 pro without any updates or sp packs but I am getting error from  Windows 7 Boot Updater

 

First popup "The winload.exe path in the BCD reference an EFI file which is currently no support"

 

Second pop up "The bootmgr path in the BCD is either invalid or is a not yet supported type"
