Hyperspin and Configuration Help Needed!

[honkey]

All right, so I ordered my controls from Ultimarc and as I wait for them to come in, I want to get the rest of the arcade fully configured. I was going to start with the frontend, but have not been successful. So my first problem
Hyperspin: I am not dead set on using Hyperspin, but it is what I have installed right now. Messing around with the settings, I got a message that MameUI64 is not supported. Did I type something in incorrectly or is this actually not supported? Also, is there a way to configure it so that I can scroll to games more quickly. Navigating through every game on the wheel to get from Donkey Kong to Galaga seems to take forever. I have used the genre lists and it goes much faster, but still not fast enough.

Also, how do I set it up so that it boots automatically and I don't see any Windows screen and will soft15khz automatically kick in when Hyperspin launches?

Problem Number 2-
NullDC- It has been a few weeks since I gave up on trying to configure NullDC but now I am refreshed and ready to retry. Does anyone have a tutorial on how to set it up that is easy to follow? I was having missing messages popping up and google searches for the files was doing no good.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, I did find my problem with Mame not running in Hyperspin and I have found how to boot automatically. I still need to figure out how to set up NullDC and if there is a better way for browsing games in Hyperspin.

Also now I have installed soft15khz and quickres, restarted the computer, and the lowest resolution I am seeing is 640x480. Any help?

You can select right and left on the stick to navigate by starting letter, but I agree the scrolling is painfully slow in Hyperspin.  You would think with a name like "Hyperspin" that would not be an issue.

Yeah, figured that out, but even just to get from the beginning of the D's to Donkey Kong takes a while.

You'll have to be more specific about what messages are popping up.

Just checked. I am missing two plugins. Is it against forum policy to ask where to get those?

[BadMouth]

I posted the link to the nulldc page that has the links to the runtimes.

If you're missing NullDC plugins, you should be able to find them on the NullDC google code site.

If you're missing the bios files.......those are the same as roms.

All right, I put NullDC on hold because I am getting frustrated with it. It appears that I need Directx9.0c and I have 10.1.

I am trying to configure Hyperspin with NES and SNES also and when I run the emulators without Hyperspin, the roms work fine. However, when I run it with Hyperspin it says no file is found. All of my roms have "(U)" for United States, and Hyperspin is searching for "(USA)" and sometimes more than what I have the files saved as. Is there a quick way to fix this without clicking on each individual file and changing the names for all 1,000 roms?

Yes, use Hyperspin rom manager, load the XML for Nes or Snes whichever you want to use and then you can rename the roms with the correct naming convention.  Its pretty good about getting it right.
