Using Hyperspin and ipac2
« on: December 29, 2015, 03:48:44 pm »
Well after a night of fooling around with this damned setup and my son asking me every 2 min if he can play it I've decided to ask for some help :).  I'm currently building a mame arcade cabinet but decided to build a little joystick box ahead of time to get all the bugs out of the software side of things, good thing I did.  I'm currently running Hyperspin and have the ipac2, I have run winipac and setup all the buttons as a joystick setting up buttons 1-6 and a start button.  The buttons work after I go into hyperHQ and activate joystick and assign buttons 1-7 but I can't get the joystick to work in hyperspin.  I have tried setting up the joystick as a keyboard mapping the arrow keys as well as joystick hat up/down/left /right with no luck.  When I use hyperHQ and manually set the individual buttons they all come up when pressing them, but the joystick comes up and up/down/left/right POV.  It doesn't work in hyperspin when doing this either.

Any Ideas on what else I can try?

It seems I can get the buttons to work but not the joystick, the joystick does seem to be phyisically working because hyperHQ is picking it up.

Hi there,

How did you get Hyperspin? Was it a packaged thing or did you download the latest version straight from the site. Ive heard some people download a pre configured setup which can cause issues.

direct from there site if I remember correctly, then updated to rocketlauncher from hyperlauncher.  That was my next step if I can't get this working wipe it all and reinstall hyperspin and rocketlauncher.

Since the Ipac is a keyboard encoder you shouldn't need to activate the joystick in HS. Do the directional keys on a keyboard work in HS?

I am not an authority on this, but I would try disabling the joystick and unplugging any other keyboards.  Have you tested outside of HS (MAME)?
