Title: Hyperspin won't start
Post by: ahofle on July 25, 2011, 10:51:16 am

I'm trying to get Hyperspin running on my cab PC.  When I start it however, it just silently crashes (the process in task manager just vanishes with no error msg).  There is no error log in the hyperspin directory and I haven't been able to figure out the cause.  Has anyone else seen this issue?  Any suggestions?

I  had it once, turn out to be a virus, i scan my pc with avast, clean my pc erase the old hyperspin, installed again and it worked just fine, if thats the case you might wanna chek other software too...

Thanks I'll give that a shot, but this is a brand new XP installation so I don't think I've had a chance to pick up a virus yet!

If you're using the patched ATI drivers then that's the problem, HS won't start if total number of video modes in the system is more than a hundred or so.

Crap that must be it, I am using them.
Any idea why Hyperspin cares how many resolutions are defined?

Because it's a bug in one of the Adobe plugins that is used...

Thanks for the explanation.  I assume Adobe knows about the bug?  Not that this would be a very high priority for them.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I'm curious if there is a workaround for this.  I'm using the patched ATI drivers with GroovyMame.  HS will start when I am remoted into my cabinet but not on the cabinet itself.

I lowered my number of resolutions in  vmmaker.ini to 90 and Hyperspin will now load.

Sorry for the necromancy.
