Need help launching HyperPin from HyperSpin main menu

[griffindodd]

I've tried asking this over at the Hyperspin forums but I'm getting no real help 

All I want to do is launch a .bat script that rotates my monitor and launches HyperPin, then when HyperPin closes run another .bat file that returns the monitor to it's original poistion and return to HyperSpin.

I am using HyperLauncher 2.25 to do this successfully in Mame games, but launching a single .exe or .bat from the main menu seems extremely overly complicated. People have mentioned using PCLauncher but that seems to be more geared toward launching multiple PC games from within a 'System' wheel, I just want to launch a stand alone program from the HyperSpin main menu.

I tried using the Hyperspin wizard, choosing the 'is a PC game' option and pointing the paths to the exe, choosing to launch with Hyperlaunch but it always gives the error 'make sure your paths have a backslash on the end' - which they certainly do already.

My settings.ini for my 'Pinball' object on the main menu in hyperspin/settings/pinball/settings.ini...

Code: [Select]

[exe info]
path=C:\Games\Emulators\HyperPin\
exe=HyperPin.exe
parameters=
pcgame=true
winstate=NORMAL
hyperlaunch=true

This is driving me nuts, I have tried both Auto Hot Key_L and Auto Hot Key basic from the web site, I'm running Windows 7 x64

i got it working kinda sorta last night using the PCLauncher script over at the Hyperspin forums.

You have to set 'Pinball' up as a system and then treat Hyperpin as though it were a ROM. it's not ideal as I have to choose the Pinball system from the main wheel and then choose Hyperspin from the sub wheel, but it does rotate the screen to the correct position on launch and then return it to landscape when I quit HyperPin and go automatically back into HyperSpin.
