First off I have one of my wheels executing Fastmame .95.
Problem is when I exit a game from this wheel and it returns to Hyperspin , Hyperspin is no longer full screen... It is minimized about 25% less that full screen and is positioned at the top left of the screen.
All other wheels are fine...
Is there a setting I can manually enter into the code or hyperlaunch which will force it to return to full screen mode after game exit???
Or is this a problem with running fastmame???
Help is appreciated....Thanks!

Looks like a couple people reported this, I will look into this issue further and see what I can come up with.

Just as an update I found that the problem always occurs on the 'Galaga 88' theme but I have other themes and roms working with full screen exit on my fastmame wheel.
This may be old news (but new to me) but as I didn't have many wheel images and added more titles to my fastmame XML , I started to get alot of anomilies such as themes not matching the right game name, or while spinning the wheel, the game names would get messed up (incorrect game showing etc)...
After I put in a bunch of wheel images , this then solved the above problem, I can now exit in fullscreen now (except for 'galaga 88' for some reason). and no more strange title and/or theme matchups.
Hope this helps....

Yep its only certain resolutions for me too
I can check which ones when I get in from work
I am setting up my MAME cabinet with Hyperspin and so far I LOVE it, but I have this problem as well. I've noticed a few other bugs but they haven't been as noticable.
I've noticed that it only happens when the game is running certain resolutions that are different from my XP desktop res. When going back to HS from the game, HS is the specified resolution (such as 640x480) but only takes up a fraction of the Desktop screen res which is usually higher, such as 1024x768.
Most of my games run at the same res as my desktop, 37khz 60hz 800x600, but some of the oddball res games seem to kick this in. Paperboy and some other med res games do it every time.

I still have to look into this but try running HS at the same res as your desktop.

I've hyperspin running at the same res as my desktop, But I think this only happens if the 1st game you run is an odd resolution
I'll try that and see. Ideally I'm wanting to run Hyperspin much lower than my Desktop.
