The hypermarquee project looks totally stunning!...

I have a bartop arcade with a 19" 4:3 monitor fitted, do you know where i could buy a monitor that is as wide as a 19" monitor?

I have googled but i find it very hard to find these special monitors.

Very nice Antos :adore:

I've neglected my 3 screen arcade cab for about year since i started my pincab. Now I have time and some reading to do to get this running on my cab

Hi, Just before I start to look into this for my cabinet. I have a 4:3 19" for my main gaming screen for hyperspin. Could I add a second 20" 16:9 screen and use that for Marquee and info / data as well ?

@zorg2000k if your cabinet can support multi-monitor for your setup and is vista and above, you are fine all the way through

Thanks, should be fine , I'm looking to house them both in the cabinet rather than as a over hanging marquee

So removed moved my screen position and added a 20" 16:9 at the top. Will need to mark and paint the spare glass I have for my cabinet. But looking forward to trying to configure HyperMarquee on my set up. One question I've read trough the pdf instructions but I don't suppose there are is a video tutorial ?

Picture below of cabinet so far

So followed all the instructions to pass - 1. Artworks: Display marquee image.

Copied the mame ahk file provided in the download, games launch but no artwork in HM ?

Looked at both the set up video from sevenseal, and been through pdf setup.

Help LOL

Ok, I can get EDS to call marquees for various games. When I launch hyperspin, hypermarquee launches as well but when I enter mame it does not show any marquees ?

Any thoughts

have you setup the image directory for hypermarquee under the artwork tab? you can use wildcard for the game using this instead of the filename you selected.

[FileName].png

use this in your 1st alternatives artwork line entry

sorry been awol from PC yesterday.

Ok , I've managed now to get this working, Silly mistake that when I renamed the EDS exe I renamed it to Ledblinky.exe.exe , School boy error

So I have marquee images showing when I scroll through the mame wheel. I also have some game info showing - althought I can't not seem to work out how to change the txt colour ! its black at present.

Big thing for me is I can't get my Ledblinky to work now ! Question , Can I rename the EDS exe to something else and launch via a batch file which will launch the eds exe and then htyperspin on my PC booting ?

Might give that a try. Cheers Zorg

@ zorg2000k

before you select your color, select the sample on the right side first before making changes. you will see the sample color change when it is selected when done so

in eds there is a sample entry for ledblinky, all you have to do is click the application label on the far left side of eds menu (in image below 2.1) and explore where you keep the ledblinky.exe file

ipc method (2.2): cli

parameters (2.4): [ledblinky]

eds can be used to load any apps you have.

Thanks sevenseal got ledblinky now working with both my marquee and game info showing. Still looking to change colour of txt though. Is it in the font settings page.

Also I have a strange thing. My mouse seems to appear on my second monitor when I run hyperspin, it seems to move when I scroll down through the games list it brings the focus up on the hypermarquee sessions.

It also seems to move up a few games when I push down, strange !! When I launch hyperspin on its own without any hypermarquee sessions it fine !

@zorg2000k

yes, it in the font setting tab.

on hypermarquee,

on the general setting tab, make sure you have the boxes unchecked for

#most on top.

#startup in edit mode.

disable both of those

if its not that how are controlls being used? xpadder with joystick or usb stick/pad?
