Have no clue what I'm doing...need help

[dragonslair1983]

I downloaded Hyperspin, Hyper HQ, and Hypertheme fine. Here are the problems I'm encountering:

1) At the main menu of Hyperspin I can only click on "Create New Theme." It won't let me click on "View Documentation" for help. It also won't let me click on "Edit" or "Add/Remove Themes."

2) How do you save any PNG background or wheel files that you add? I add them, but when I close out and open up Hyperspin, the background is once again black and the wheel is blank.

3) What type of video is supposed to be added in the Media section? Mpeg?

4) What is the little camera icon in the bottom left cormer for?

5) What is the purpose of the "Sounds" circle to be clicked on the Media section?

6) What is the purpose of the stuff on the bottom..."Elastic Bounce, Face, etc?"

I know that this is an awesome program, but I just don't know what I'm doing. Any help would be great!!!

I downloaded Hyperspin, Hyper HQ, and Hypertheme fine. Here are the problems I'm encountering:

1) At the main menu of Hyperspin I can only click on "Create New Theme." It won't let me click on "View Documentation" for help. It also won't let me click on "Edit" or "Add/Remove Themes." Currently in HQ ONLY Create New Theme functions. HQ is a work in progress and the version you have is the first and basic release.

2) How do you save any PNG background or wheel files that you add? I add them, but when I close out and open up Hyperspin, the background is once again black and the wheel is blank. You must edit the Database file for the specific system you are working on before a new game will appear. If the game is not in the Database then it will not function. From the sound of it, you really want to just wait for the new version to be released very shortly. This version will get you up and running quickly.

3) What type of video is supposed to be added in the Media section? Mpeg? FLV is the only supported video format in HyperSpin.

4) What is the little camera icon in the bottom left cormer for? In HyperTheme, the camera icon will save a screen shot of the theme you are working on. This saves the file so you can post it here on the forums to announce your theme.

5) What is the purpose of the "Sounds" circle to be clicked on the Media section?I am assuming that you are talking about HyperTheme... The Sound section in HyperTheme is not currently functioning. However, to answer your question... You can add .mp3 sound to your theme. Check out the Ninja Turtles theme and you'll notice that the theme song plays. This is what this section of HT will eventually do, but for now you simply just input the .mp3 with the same name as the game and HS will play it when the theme is loaded up.

6) What is the purpose of the stuff on the bottom..."Elastic Bounce, Face, etc?"These are animations that you can give images in your theme.

I know that this is an awesome program, but I just don't know what I'm doing. Any help would be great!!!
