progets Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 How do you control your cabinet? I started out using just the Statup Script to map my joysticks and buttons and it seemed fine for a minute. Then I realized that these controls didn't work in HyperPause or HyperSearch. I'm now using JoyToKey to be able to use the arcade controls for these programs. I would like to know what people have found to be the best way to control all the aspects of a HyperSpin cabinet. I know that it will likely be JoyToKey, Keymapper or the Startup Script but I'm interested to know the advantages and disadvantages of each of these. Is there a best or ideal setup, is it just a matter of preference, does it depend on the encoder you're using? Any and all tips or advice are welcome.

trailervert Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Im still using Xpadder for everything except analog stick games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalzoic Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I use an iPac in my cab. So far it works with everything non-analog and I haven't had to use anything else. I don't use the startup script. Don't need Joy2Key, Don't need Xpadder or any other similar programs. I lied, I guess I do use VJoy just for Mortal Kombat X, but that game doesn't work without it so it can't be helped. Any other games that I want to change button inputs on (such as Type X or PC games) I just manually change using AHK under the Rocket:Launcher keymapper tab. No need to install or config anything that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progets Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Thanks for the feedback. I have a Xin-Mo which is gamepad emulator instead of keyboard emulator. As a result I think I have to use something to turn the gamepad commands into keyboard commands in HyperSpin due to it's controller bug. I understand that your I-Pac is sending the keyboard commands to begin with so things are smoother for you. If I'm looking at this the wrong way or missing something please let me know. Thanks.

That's probably the case. Why did you go with a gamepad emulator instead of something like an iPac? Are you using an analog joystick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progets Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Cost and ease of wiring were the main reasons. My cabinet is a bartop and I have very little invested in it. I don't dislike the Xin-Mo but I can see how an I-Pac would simplify things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don1moo Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 i have the same issue like @Progets, i get full button configuration setup for most emulators, Retroarch and xin mo works perfectly together, also MAME , but when it came for pc games and joy2key, there is always a conflict specially SSF4. I've a problem understanding how joytokey works when the associated application runs, i don't see any difference between options. or i miss something on Rocket LauncherUI settings. would like to see some help or ideas from someone tried that combo of (arcade cab set,xin-mo and hyperspin FE), and have pc-games running without problems.

progets Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Don1moo, do you have RLUI set to use different JoyToKey configs for SSF vs other Systems or Emulators? The Xin-Mo works great. I have everything working as I would like in my cabinet. The biggest benefit (in my mind) of a iPAC is really for the HS specific controls due to the HS joystick bug.

don1moo Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 yes i did set it for SSF, now joytokey not switching between profiles like before, only hyperspin profile loads, it seems that there is a something i didn't catchup in the ini file. re-installed several time but no dice.

don1moo Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 should i have to copy all pc games config files from RL profiles on J2K root, and make association with each game individually? is that is all ppl do? or there is a different way?

Did you follow my tutorial Don? The only time you should have to create a profile in jtk itself is when you are bypassing RL in HSHQ. Many people load pc games this way but if you bypass RL, then how can it load a profile?Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't need to copy RL profiles to the J2K folder. You shouldn't need to associate your J2K profiles with specific programs in J2K either. In your original post you said your SSF profile was conflicting with others, please explain this because only one J2K profile should be running at any given time.

damageinc86 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 For my gamepads I use Pinnacle Game Profiler for my PC Games and Hyperspin Navigation profile. Then xpadder for any game specific profiles. There is an autodetect feature in there that detects when you launch a specific .exe file, and loads the profile you made for it. That should really be all you need. All used outside of RLUI as well, and works great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don1moo Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Thanks @progets and @damageinc86 i will give Pinnacle Game Profiler a try tonight. @progets, yes you are right, it should work like you mention, but in my case it doesn't, weird. J2K only loads Hyperspin profile and doesn't focus to any other emulator or game profiles. for SSF4 it loads with a mix between HS profile and the main button configuration for the game itself, the P1 joystics trigger the movement twice as it conflict with HS profile, to make it work is to ALT+TAB and kill J2K, then it works normally.

progets Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Do you have a J2K profile for SSF in RLUI? If not, make a System or Emulator Specific J2K profile in RLUI for SSF and leave it blank. See if the HS J2K profile keys still have an effect.

don1moo Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 thanks @progets, i did and it works SSF4 works on xin mo as a joystick and cannot be done if i use keystrokes instead. thanks bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert_c Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Ignorance is bliss. Never used HyperSearch or HyperPause. I have used the Zero Delay Encoder in the past but had issues on a cold start. Xin Mo works in my cab. All I need is to navigate the UI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
