  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
I have a windows 7 bartop running hyperspin.

When I’m exploring the hyperspin wheel I can hear the hard drive spin up and it causes lag in the wheel movement and freezes and even lock ups. Games seem to be fine but the menu seems to have a problem.

Any ideas what might be causing it? All of hyperspin is on a 3 TB D: drive, not the boot drive.

Thanks!

Its probably a resource issue, HS is a hungry beast especially if you have large wheels with sound/videos, artwork etc etc.

Maybe have a play with the settings in HS to reduce the loading, reduce the resolution etc etc.
