It won't. Your CP and wicked kickplate curve keep you well out of cock range already. Just thought that anecdote was germane.

I use HyperSpin to switch my 4way/8way servo controlled joysticks but it isn't using MAME.INI, I just get it to check a list of 4/way games, there is a delay in launching the game when I use this script though but my computer is quite old. I'm sure it could be done using MAME.INI if someone wrote a script to do it.

Not at the moment but HyperSpin 2.0 will support vertical monitors and widescreen monitors, I can't answer the switching on the fly but I'm sure Dazz would know.

Not from MALA or Maximus but can you make HS look and act like Urban Interactives Star Wars FE? If you can do that then I have some serious uses for HS.
His loader, which you can get here, is in the May 5 2009 post. Here's an early vid of his launcher, the current version in the download link is better:

I was initially drawn to hyperspin because of its robust nature, and honestly the themes looked neat. But after messing with it for a while I realized that having the whiz bangs flying around was a little too cartoony for the feel that I am trying to accomplish. I am a somewhat special case though I think. It sounds like I can go in and create a good theme to do what I am looking for, but there are two problems I see with that, and they are probably just my ignorance. Ease of customization and more importantly the core cartoony interface. That wiggling joystick that keeps popping up is just annoying. Like I said, I'm sure I am just ignorant, bit I haven't figured out a way to make that cool.
Dazz, I'm not trying to rip HS, I think it is super cool, and appears to be coded rock solid, I've even donated to become a gold member, but I cannot create a creepy experience with a cartoony core interface.
Please correct me if Im wrong, I would like to use your front end.

You can pretty much make HyperSpin look anyway you want it too, including removing the wiggling joystick if that's what you want to do.

Hyperspin just felt like a giant mess to me, way too much going on! Mala didnt really grab me, though I liked it much more than hyperspin. Gameex works best for me, its regularly updated, very professional, clean, simple to use and setup - it ticks all the boxes.
