Do we get a list of who we gave beer o'clock to?

Unfortunately, the system does not track that.

For Teknoparrot make sure that you are pointing the ROMs at your UserProfiles folder under your Teknoparrot directory.

There is quite a bit of work that needs to be done with MAME. Personally, I'm not happy with how we are handling MAME right now.

1) Searching/returning in large lists: I heard in the live stream/updates full searching is coming - GREAT. Will you also be addressing some minor issues like: when switching from list to artwork view, it returns you to the top of the list. Ideally context should remain.

I completely agree with this. Instead of going back to the top of any game list in HQ, it should remain where you left at.

2) Mame defaults:  I installed latest MAME through HQ and great it all installed and metadata downloaded - but it seems the high score plugin is not available by default and 'nag' screen when launching games still appears. Any plans to default these ? Realise No-Nag is a mame patch but hi score is an official plugin (which in this current process I seem to have to launch mame and enable it) - maybe could be an option to turn on and off?

I just downloaded new package of MAME .273b.  It does include the plugins and looks like plugins are enabled by default.

3) Mame Artwork - With all defaults on - i launched Space Invaders and the background artwork was not present - is this a seperate setting - or something we manually have to add?

As far as I know, MAME handles all of it's own artwork. Bezels, backgrounds, and things that you would find in the MAMEExtras downloads.

Some rando Pinball site I dunno 

 

I'm really curious to see how it works out here. Users & Content Creators on VPUniverse seem to have enjoyed it over the years. 

Wow, such an awesome feature! Whoever come up with that idea was a genius!

not added roms yet or set up joypad etc.

lets see how far i get before i crack lol

Welcome - I wouldn't get too into HyperSpin 1 if that's what you are working on.  HyperSpin 2 is currently being developed and in beta testing. 

I have one of the really really early Bliss Box, but have not used it in a really long time.  I recalled that I need to order more adapters. Went to the site and saw the new 4 Play Advanced and ordered one along with a 10 pack of adapters. Hopefully I'll be able to get this fully integrated into HS2.

@fr0stbyt3 I'm not a fan of this either. Not really a fan of any hard coded paths since I have data on several different drives or network shares.

Hello. I purchased a platinum membership almost ten years ago and it’s no longer displaying on my profile. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks. 

Shows that you are a "Content Creator".  From what I recall... that should be equivalent or higher rank than Platinum. 

Are you not able to access the beta?

Also, if you haven't logged in for a long time... You really need to make sure to reset your password to be able to access.

Hello HyperSpinnaz!

Yes, we know everyone is excited to help test this new version of HyperSpin 2.0.  

We need the assistance of every one, in order to make sure that your issues are heard... 

Please, help us out, by POSTING IN THE DEVELOPMENT TRACKER!!

HyperSpin 2.0 that you see consists of 3 different parts with 3 distinctly different sets of issues.

HyperHQ - This is the graphical user interface that you use for setting up systems, configurations, etc.
HyperSpin - This is the front end that you use when selecting and playing games!
HyperTheme - This is the website where themes and media are created, and downloaded from.

Thanks,
HyperSpin Admin Team

setting up controls. In the Mapping, when I try to change the button is says key is already assigned...?

 

EDIT!!

I ran the exe as admin. Problem solved. 

Was it a key that was already assigned to one of the other players?  I normally delete/unmap all controls, and then only setup controls for player 1.

First post woohoo! Trying to add MAME into HyperHQ, when I type MAME into "Which system would you like to add" it just keeps spinning with the message "Detecting Emulator Settings". Should I just continue to adding the ROMs? 

MAME has it's own import option. Do not use System to setup MAME.

Hmm, I wonder if this will work on my Ouya console.  

That's awesome man. Did he happen to say how they found out about you? I'm wondering if they found you via this site.

Just PM me and let me know what exactly you need.

Media Packs do not/should not contain videos. HyperPin will search for videos first, if no video found then table image will display.

Circo - Couple new table releases that we need vids of.

Godzilla (SEGA) (1998) (Rosve) (1.0) (FS)

Gyruss (Original) (2012) (Rosve) (1.0) (FS)

Sharpshooter (Game Plan) (1979) (Bodydump) (1.0) (FS)

These can be downloaded from VPUniverse.com.

Where can I find side art too download?

I talked to Brett a very nice guy making pinball replacement displays. He Company is www.xpinpinball.com and he is producing 5v DMD. They even offer different colors. I asked him to post his details here. I will post some images for him.

Noob question. If I had you do a design for my standard cab project, what do I do with it? Take it to a print shop or the like? Anyone know what the approx. cost of that?

Thanks

Here is a quick question for everyone. Does anyone have a general estimate on how much it costs to have custom artwork designed (General range)

I'm considering going down this route ... or I can just as easily purchase some ready made artwork for an existing machine ... I'm not opposed to springing extra for that cool effect, but I'd love to know general pricing (as this is already getting quite expensive).

Ya, Josh did a great job on that artwork.

Max - What is the name of the wiring labels that you use? I can't seem to find out exactly what they are called or where to purchase.

Having issues with this new version. Upon exit of a UVP table its not exiting the FPLaunch and it's removing focus from HP. Also, when launching Scared Stiff B2S the table is loosing focus, i have to ALT+TAB to VP Player to re-focus.
