Hi everybody!
What are the game control buttons?
- For Example: when i choose a game in the wheel, wich key i've to push to start the game? (I've tried with ENTER but nothing happened)... and the other buttons? Like Start Player 2, In Game Pushbuttons 1, 2, etc.. etc..
Is there a .ini file where there are all the game control keys?
THANK YOU!!!

yep settings.ini in the settings folder in your hyperspin directory use these codes for setting the values http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=442

Yes, i've already checked it... that' my actual settings.ini:
[Main Controls]
Start = 13
Exit = 27
[P1 Controls]
Up = 38
Down = 40
SkipUp = 37
SkipDown = 39
HyperSpin = 32
Genre = 71
Now, i'm looking to add at [P1 Controls] line, something like this:
StartGame = .. (i know how to use the numbers, i'm putting the dots just for example)
Button1 = ..
Button2 = ..
Button3 = ..
etc.. etc..
What's the correct sintax to do this?...
And, when i'm in the Game Selection Wheel, wich key i've to push to start a game? (I've already tried with ENTER but nothing happened...)
THANKS!!!

enter is the default, check your log file located in the hyperspin main directory. the game may be trying to launch but a setting/path could be wrong, the log file will give us more info

I think he's talking about the actual in-game controls. Those need to be set for every emulator. You need to go into Mame and set the controls for mame.... if you use JNES as well for example you need to go into the JNES settings and adjust the controls for that as well, and so on and so forth.
The Hyperspin controls only affect Hyperspin.

You set the controls on the emulators, the information that was first given to you is to control Hyperspin. Check yours codes again and come back.

>> SOLVED: <<
The problem was that i've installed HyperSpin in [D:\] drive, so i had to change the drive letter in the mame.ini file contained in [D:\Hyperspin\Settings]... i've changed it in this way:
path = D:\HyperSpin\Emulators\MAME\
rompath = D:\HyperSpin\Emulators\MAME\roms\
for this reason, the game couldn't start...
Now, a question about HyperSpin interface keys: to scroll the wheel up or down, may i use the joystick?... It's possibile to configure it for this job, or i have to use another utility running in background like Joy2Key ???
THANKS!!! ;)

Currently there is no way to assign joystick buttons to Hyperspin. You have to use a program like joy2key or Xpadder for it to work. I'm fairly certain Bill plans to support this though in the future.

Magnifique...
Ok, i've used Xpadder with my homemade arcade control panel... it works great!...
Thanks to everybody!!!

May i set a function in setting.ini, to make it need to stroke two keys together?...
For example:
[Main Controls]
Start = 49
Exit = 27
And i want to do this:
[Main Controls]
Start = 49
Exit = 49, 50
So, to EXIT, i've to stroke the key [1] and [2] together...
Is it possible?

Ok, i've solved in this way:
I've made two 8 buttons arcade controllers, and i've:
6 buttons for game
1 1P Button
1 Insert Coin Button
In Hypersin's settings.ini, i've setted the Insert Coin Button as [ESC], and 1P Button as [START] using XPadder.
In Mame.exe, i've setted the Insert Coin Button as [Insert Coin], the 1P Button as [1P START] and the stroking of this two buttons togheter as [UI CANCEL].
With this configuration is possible to control with a joystick, both Mame In Game and Hyperspin MenĂ¹ controls...
