Having major problems trying to get hyperspin working even straight out of the install RAR on xp64. I'm using crt emu drivers and I have turned on magic resolutions so that hyperspin does load.
First I installed .net 3.5 and 4, windows media player 11, and made sure I had directx9.0c. Those are all installed.
Then I downloaded HS install pack, latest one, and unpacked it to c:/hyperspin
Result: it loads up, but with multiple problems...
1. There is no sound
2. When I try to select any system, it just does nothing (reloads system wheel)
3. Escape key pauses the HS interface, rather than exiting??
This is really weird. Pretty sure none of this happened before. I was messing with hyper launch and emulators settings, GIT, etc but To be sure I wiped out the HS directory, unpacked the Install pack again and ran hyperspin again without making any changes or using any of the other apps. Same results.

Make sure you have speakers attached. I know it sounds weird but just try it...

Windows sounds and rom sounds all work.

Seems like my sound drivers may be the issue:

XP64 was never finished. I recommend NOT using it. (No service pack 3 - which fixed a ton of stuff)
Go to Windows 7 x64 instead.

My setup uses low resolutions (native) and a CRT... xp is the only option that works well for that with Groovymame and CRT_emu. 64 because I also plan to run a lot of intensive shooters and 3d games, and will have a core i5 CPU.
