I just posted this question in the Hyperspin forum but sometimes I have more luck here:
Hey, I have a noob type question. I'm not sure what happened but somewhere along the way something got screwed up and now within Hyperspin when I hold down left or right to get the jump to letter search I don't have a complete list. Instead of 1 A B C, etc, it is missing entries. 1 D M R Z. Almost as if the database thinks that there are only a few games in the list and so it skips most of the letters.
I just updated to 1.3 and have everything else working perfect so I'm hesitant to start from scratch and lose all my other settings. To be clear, is didn't happen with the update, it somehow got corrupted and I've just been ignoring it for the last year or so.
Any help would be awesome, I know I've just overlooked something simple.
Thanks

Probably the update to 1.3 that did it. You'll find other problems with the menu related to 1.3 at the Hyperspin boards. Some have problems, most don't.

Problem solved, someone at the hyperspin forums helped me. There is an option in hyperhq that uses the xml for index or something like that, turned it off and it is back to what I would expect.

you can also go to the xml and edit it. I have had the same problem when using Hypersync to keep my setup up to date. Here's an example below. The bold parts are the parts to add if they don't exist.
<game name="88games" index="true" image="'">
The first title of each letter, number, symbol has to have index="true" and image="(corresponding letter/num/sym)" Some systems will not have a game for every letter and/or number, so I just went through and made sure that the ones that are there are indexed correctly. Again.. only the FIRST game for each letter or number needs to be checked.
