That's it.Come over to our forms and we can help get you up and running. The blank screen tells me that you don't have something setup correctly.
The "HyperHQ" thing also doesn't seem to store the settings you put into it.

It's beta so perhaps you should reserve judgement until you actually get it running first? Even with months of private beta testing you simply can't test every system configuration you may encounter in a public release.
I'm wondering if Peale is using one of his OLD systems that has an ATI 8mb Rage in it......
But with all the documentation pretty much saying "download and run" that's what I was expecting

I was looking at some of the HS databases and some of them have been ripped from GameEx. I don't remember anyone asking me permission to use them since I helped write the software to scrape the data. I'm not overly bothered but you would think it would be common courtesy to ask first :dunnoWhere exactly in the GameEx folder are these databases that you speak of? Are these contained in the .mdb files?
Sorry, but you took that post completely out of context... I think Mala, out of any FE's out there, deserves it's own forum here. It is very widely used and a great front end. I was just merely pointing out the number of threads that specific frontends were mentioned in... My post was definitely not a stab at Mala in any way.

Why will future themes not be allowed to contain video?
Why will future themes not be allowed to contain video?
Themes can/will contain video, but we don't want people distributing the videos with their uploaded themes. Circo has worked his ass off creating the EmuMovies collections and he gives people access to his FTP based on donations. We do not want people freely distributing his work along with their themes in respect to Circo. However, with this being said Circo at EmuMovies will be hosting the converted video files for HyperSpin on the FTP and also his torrents.
Had a chance to play with it a little bit last night. All the game intros are very nicely done, impressive. I'm looking forward to getting it set up as an alternative FE on the machine. I'm guessing future releases will add more game screens, anything else? I don't even use the vast majority of the systems listed.... but it makes me want to now.
I was hoping to see "genre" themes... or at least "company" themes. This looks great, but with the limited number of themes I doubt it will find a home on my cab for a long time.

Ironically enough, one of the reason I registered with emumovies.com was because circo was giving away his work for free. I might have thought twice if he were to give access a la carte per membership fee.

I am not quite sure what you mean about this. Nothing is a la carte??? I mean DVD's to a certain extent but all but nintendo vids are in torrents. Granted the FTP is much more quickly updated but hey thats why its there :)
Cant tell if your statement is positive or negative.
Just an FYI for anyone that wants to try this FE - it appears there's a bug in it that if you're using an Athlon XP processor or a P3 it won't work. The buzz is it's because it requires the use of SSE2, and these processors don't use it.

It works on both my AMD Phenom Quad core and my AMD Athlon X2 4200+ systems. On another note, I also tried it on my P4 1.4 ghz machine and it ran rather slow. So why would you want to run it on anything less anyway?
I haven't tested this yet, but would do that sooner or later when I have time.
ETC I have never really liked Flash, due it too CPU intuitive and slow at hell, so it require a very fast machines, and it is not cheap at all (it was very high priced). It might been a lots better on its newest versions, but I dedicated to go java instead flash due with that reason when I wanted to create some webgames.
But still kodus to have this eye catch FE :D :D.... and this is still a beta, so of course there is still some major/minor bugs in.
I still wonder why Flash needs such of power to do simple 2d animation. there is a waste of CPU ressource somewhere in the stack...
I'd like to see you try and render a HS theme using DirectDraw including rotation on all 3 axis and png alpha channel support at the same speed.
You should see that soon... but you are right , not at the same speed ... Faster !! ;D
Where is yours?
Do you remember that you said Video Reflection with alpha channel was impossible with directdraw ? or something like that. ??

Thenasty, don't forget your good old friend Usenet. The complete Hyperspin release is available at alt.binaries.emulators.
I'll take the Newsgroups over peer-to-peer networks any day of the week.
And twice on Sunday. 8)
(A) Is there a system in place where people can make theme requests? I'd love to see a World Class Bowling/Deluxe theme.
(B) Will the new themes be packaged up and offered as a "theme pack" at any time?
Just a question, Does HyperTheme have the same problem?I don't think it does, but I have not tested it on my non SS2 computer.
It does not use ActionScript 3?I don't know... I'm not the one programming it.
Just a question, Does HyperTheme have the same problem?To answer your question, Yes the same happens in HyperTheme. As HK states below this is an Adobe issue with their compiler.
Can this be used on a vertical monitor?Unfortunately it is Horizontal only at this time. Vertical is under discussion.
Are there going to be theme packs to download or do we have to get all themes separately?
Are there going to be theme packs to download or do we have to get all themes separately?
I haven't really kept up with the normal "workflow" for getting media and videos for themes....
is emumovies providing flv versions of the videos or are we supposed to convert them to flv ourselves?
Will you implement a vertical orientation of this at some point??I'm not the developer, but I don't think he has vertical orientation planned. It would require every theme to be rebuilt and this would be another major undertaking on top of what it takes to get themes now. I'm not ruling it out, but I don't see it being done anytime soon.
It would be the Flex compiler so my guess is Adobe will end up fixing it.
BTW I am working with Arzoo and BBB to make HS work with LED BLINKY. Look for full support in next HS release!
Led blinky support is going well. Hopefully by the end of the week we will have full functionality with a BIG THANKS to Arzoo. Also more fantastic news, Bill plans on adding full U360 support. If anyone has a U360 joystick, Mame setup and Hyperspin installed please head over to the HS Chat and let Billy know.

LEDBlinky can also auto map the u360 based on the selected game and return to a FE map (like 4-way) when not playing a game.
Could a LED Blinky run a say a LED display from one of these

To make it look just like the coin credit LED found on an original MVS neo geo cab??
So I will try out some of these new EXE's and settings to see if my
P4 1.7 with 2gb ram and a AGP 4x 5200FX Nvidia will be able to run it.
I love the front end but my current computer (above) for EMU's can not run it at full speed.
Anyone else try the other exe files available ????
Any ideas when the HyperSpin_0.6.0.6 torrent will be readyIt is being worked on, but more than likely it will be 0.6.0.8 when it is released. This new version adds support for LEDBlinky and a couple other fixes and additions.

Sorry if this is already addressed somewhere, but does HS has a search function?How does one search when there is no keyboard or hard to access (admin only)? If you have favorites lists and quicker navigation (ala Maximus) there is no need for a search.

Actually, the original HQ wasn't using AS3, but it is now. Bill has started development on a new HQ and has actually made very good headway so far. Looks real good thus far.So... you know AS3?

I don't know AS3, but I know that HyperHQ isn't using AS3, and the author for that has disappeared. If Bill doesn't want to work on it or is too busy with Hyperspin I'm be more than willing to help with HyperHQ (though most of my experience is with open source languages). I have no experience with Illustrator or Photoshop so I'd be no help to you there. Let's let Bill focus on Hyperspin and others can help with the helper tools.
You need to learn not to take things personally. I know bandwidth is insane, that's what torrents are the way to go. Once you remove the downloads the forum hosting becomes much cheaper and easier to deal with. I most likely would donate, but right now isn't the right time.
Just a quick message to let everyone know that BadBoyBill has released a new version of HyperSpin. This version includes LEDBlinky support (Thanks Azroo!). In doing so this version also includes U360 support via the LEDBlinky application. I have not been able to test this feature as I do not have U360's, so please use this at your own risk.

Nice to see my new UltraStik.dll getting a work out in HyperSpin :cheers:
Sounds linke you didnt config other emulator and hyperspin buttons in ledblinky
Arzoo how do i set it up so that the wheel turns with the u360?Twin-X,
I got the led's working and the joystick works in games (not tested yet if it uses diffrent maps)
But no wheel spin :(
another thing. Game lights work for the seconds you point it to. But they do not keep lit when playing a game.
Arzoo,
He's talking about the navigation wheel from within HyperSpin. I know in the HyperSpin settings key configs have to be setup, but I don't know with the U360's. I can't afford any U360's to test with so I really don't know how they are supposed to be setup.

HyperSpin 0.7.0.1
Who else is using U360 Ledblinky and hyperspin?
I have set everything i am positive about it. I have used U360 and Ledblinky for some time now with MaLa so i know how to configure it.
So to sum it up on my machine:
No u360 support in Hyperspin. Have to use joy2key for wheel navigation.
U360 map switching does not work my joysticks stay on 4 way.
Ledblinky, game and hyperspincontrols do light up when navigating. (game controls light up for the default 5 seconds)
Starting a game does not light game controls. However the hypersincontrols do light during the gameplay.
I am gonna try the same setup for ledblinky on mala tonight to see if the u360 works and if the selected game buttons stay lit.
Still a fantastic job everyone. Thanks
I have tested it with latest release and with you final build of led blinky and it works fine. I am not sure I understand what not working specifically.

It's great that you are good at photoshop you're the very sort of person that HyperSpin needs.
As far as what range of games are needed, I would suggest just start making themes for the games you like first.
There is also a theme request list over at the HyperSpin site: http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=111&highlight=requests

All you have to do is Donate on Hyperspin website and you can get gold membership. This will allow you to d/l anything on site with no time restrictions. You can download all the themes in about 30-60 mins.
Its a small price to pay and you are helping out the cause.
i rather register the product for 20-25 usd. Like i did with maximus arcade
Glad to see the DOS box fix as that was one of my initial concerns. For me all that's left is native joystick support and I'm switching. I'll give it a try when I get home. Keep up the good work Team Hyperspin. :)
