Hyperspin 2 beta - general questions (4:3 support, use old media)

[alex2005]

Hi there,

I have installed HS2 on my windows 11 setup, and have some questions about it.

1. I've set up the HS2 beta and on the screen settings I have 4:3, fullscreen.  I run HS2 on an arcade cabinet (Sega Blast City) at 15khz, 640x480. The frontend displays letterboxed (as if it was 16:9), while the emulators play just fine at 4:3. Is this a known issue? 

2. Would it be possible to display the menus 4:3 friendly. Some them fall off the screen and its difficult to navigate (ie the controls section, specially for 2P)

3. I have an "old" setup of Hyperspin 1.0 with all media, wheels, artworks, etc in local storage. What do I need to do, in order to use this media on the HS2 beta setup?

Thanks a lot for your support!

1. open HQ, click on the upper right corner (Gear) settings icon,  go display settings and you can change your screen settings to 4:3                                                                                2.  I would think that this will be updated once you change your display settings.                                                                                                                                                              3. you can use all your box, cart, wheels, videos, pointers ect. you just need to place them in the HyperSpin\Media\System Name\                                                                         all the media you auto download is stored in the folder HyperSpin\Media\_hsm\                                                                                                                                                              note that none of the Themes from HS 1.0  will work with HS 2.0,  they all have to be converted and auto downloaded.   If I was you I would wait until their is more themes to overwrite your current setup.
