That link is from 2018 so nothing to do with this recent Windows update. First confirm you have the recent Windows update, so look at your Windows version which maybe be 2004. If it is copy the dll file in the download I linked to and put it in the root of your Hyperspin folder.

Could it be your new install of Windows 10 has the new 2004 update? If so you need this.

I haven't checked but have been told that sync is working again.

It's been working fine for a number of weeks now its just been done again these few days. I checked the ftp and that's OK. Devs have been informed.

Fire up a game via Rocketlaucher if that is launching mame. Set all your controls under general after hitting tab. You can also set trackballs and spinners etc as well. Once done close the game and find the default.cfg file found in the cfg folder. Copy the file and paste it into the ctrlr folder. Open folder and rename the default file to something familiar to you like 'taz101 controls'. Now head to you mame ini folder and open the mame ini or vertical or horizont or maybe all 3 if you have them. You probably just have mame.ini though. Once the ini is open look for 'core input options. Find ctrlr and put in quotes the name of your ctrlr file e.g. ctrlr "taz101 controls" Save it. That should be it but please refer to the other guide as well because this is off the top of my head.

I have JTK asa startup program in Hyperspin. Perhaps I can move that to the Startup folder instead.

I don't think you need all those shortcuts in the Startup folder, I only have one shortcut. Regarding the configs, you leave those game specific files as they will be recreated everytime you run the game and used if you do game specific controls. I don't use JTK with Mame or many other emulators (exceptions being some computer based emu's) as you set controls in the emulators themselves.

With regard to the controls you should not set them into the "default.cfg" because it can get overwritten. You can combat that happening by setting the file to "read only" but that is not ideal. The best method is to create a ctrlr file and them link to it in your mame.ini. http://mirrors.arcadecontrols.com/easyemu/mameguidenew/mameguide-controlini.htm

Very good and the music fits well. Made me smile.

Mine is on standby and comes on with the PC.

I assumed as you only use mame the actual Hyperspin install would be quite small. I would back up everything except ROMs because if you've spent many hours creating this beast you don't want to be starting from scratch.

Do you have a back up? I have a Roms drive in my cab that did home my 200gb Hyperspin backup. But whilst in lockdown I stripped a 500gb drive out of an old Tivo box, so that now holds the backup. Sometimes EDS which I use for my marquee fails so I can quickly fix by moving the backup files. Whilst working on my cab I updated JoyToKey which broken my Commodore 64 combo buttons for Warp and swap joysticks. So I reverted back to an earlier version, I don't know if @Spawkhas experienced that. Finally Rocklauncher had (or was it me?) unchecked to use the key mapper so some system were not working.

Hypersync is currently down but it doesn't normally cause that. Do you have the latest version installed?

just checked my PC and only received a Windows Defender up date.
