I am definitely interested as well. Just trying to get a video card to support a composite output so I can use one of these small screens I have...

I'm interested too, just don't have time to set it up yet but it will come in handy for the future. Please keep it going. :)

Ditto! It looks very good, and I'll have to find time to give it a try. I don't have a cab yet but I do have 2 monitors connected to my PC so it will be nice to make use of both of them with HyperSpin.

Ok so now here's were I'm at. Would like this program to start with windows without the uac prompt and run first then hyperspin start right after. Tried a .bat file but have no clue how to code it correctly. Right now I have uac turned off but that's not the way I like it. But even with uac off it still won't auto start even in the start up folder.

I had a problem running it from a batch file too. I think the UAC stuff may block it to prevent a virus from doing the same thing. I couldn't run it from the startup parameters in hyperspin either. I wonder of an AHK script would work?

As when when to start it before it after hyperspin shouldn't matter. It launches much faster than hyperspin does.

start hyperspinhelper.exe

cd /d "D:\Hyperspin\"

start hyperspin.exe

Awesome ill try it out the first video of marquee and display is done just need to put all together. Then I'll make one with control panel and display. Then one with all three.

Also any luck with vitrolight from your other post. I emailed but who knows if they will respond. Found another company that had the size I want for $700 but don't want to spend that much.

Another forum user got it and was having a weird issue with windows seeing it as still size monitor but it only showing the top 3rd of the content being sent. I put a flag in to handle this but I was waiting for him to test it out. Haven't heard back yet. I'll shoot him another email.

Ok here's a video of the marquee in action!! Also have Hyperbezel working at least with marquee in MAME now

Will post one of control panel in action after I steal my third screen back from my son. Then I will upload one standing back with all of it in video at once! Just so everyone knows this is just wheel images being displayed on marquee. You can get as creative as you like just up to you how much you want to customize your setup!!

Video looks great! Thanks.

As for the display. The resolution is rather low. All the content will scale but I worry about readability. You would also need to check the power. Is it 12v or 110 or what and then compensate as necessary.

I actually plan to use the 16" monitor for my control panel but I have the luxury of having not built my cabinet yet. :)

It's actually needs a converter to 3.3 up to 24v. But that's not the problem. Ya I plan on pulling the tankstick anyways and building a new control panel.

Don't download the version I just put out there 10 min ago. Found a major bug I am fixing.
