Ok, while configuring my stuff, I have run into a few issues. First my setup.....Windows XP 64 bit with Hyperspin as my FE. I have thus far managed to successfully:
1. Get my layout setup in LEDblinky
2. Create a custom animation for Hyperspin
3. Configure LEDblinky to light up the buttons in use for MAME games and emulators
However I am having the following issues:
1.
Hyperspin can't use my U360s to get around the FE. I have read that this is a common issue with Windows XP 64/U360s/HS. I tried using Joy2key, but that made things act flaky in HS. My workaround is to use my player 1-4 coin buttons. Purchased xpadder, and set up a profile to use when hyperspin is active. Works GREAT.
2.
When returning to HS, the state of the lights while playing the game is how they are in HS instead of going back to the HS animation. Changing wheels restores the HS animation. fixed by creating a batch file and adding a line of code in the .ahk files to run the batch file. UPDATE: animation starts as it should, but stops when you move the wheel.
3. Sometimes, when I return to HS, nothing responds and the only way to fix it is to Alt-Tab out and back in.
4. Sometimes, when selecting a NES game (NEStopia) it flashes on the screen and then back to HS. When this happens, selecting the game again USUALLY fixes it. However, sometimes, you can hear HS in the background playing videos and scrolling the wheel.
