Technical Updates:
– Many capabilities have been added to update #3 of the HyperSpin Attraction build and one of the most important features is Smart Themes.

Up until now, all non-video system themes were hardcoded. Smart themes changes all of that as it allows users to easily create their own system and even per-game themes by using a very simple yet powerful script. The key feature is that smart theme creators don’t need to deal with complex code and instead are focused on setting basic parameters that really matter to them like position and size of art objects and applying special animations and effects. We have also written a pretty simple dev guide to help you get started.

With smart themes we have substantially upped the game, transforming HyperSpin Attraction from a build into a content creation platform.

help_faqs\Technical\

DirectX 9
Microsoft .NET Framework 4
Visual-C-Runtimes-All-in-One-Aug-2020

— Computer Systems —

. Check Pause Menu for controller mappings for each system, especially due to some games needing to use the virtual keyboard to start or other functions.

— Sharp X68000 —
. If for some reason a game stops launching, try deleting this file: emulators\RetroArch\system\keropi\sram.dat

– Akumajou Dracula:
On first menu that appears, select the first option = 1. X68000.
Game will load after a few seconds.

– Aquales:
If instruction to change disk appears, open emulator menu with LT, change disk in floppy slot 1 with Disk 3 located in same directory.

. 4K monitor resolution bezel scaling
In case the overlay doesn’t scale automatic to your computer monitor, change the custom values inside: emulators\RetroArch\config\DOSBox-pure\DOSBox-pure.cfg
to this:

custom_viewport_height = “1920”
custom_viewport_width = “2560”
custom_viewport_x = “640”

— Sinclair ZX Spectrum —
. If you have Controller Companion running in the background sometimes that can cause bugs with the controls.

– Controls:
By default they are mapped to use a controller simulating a Kempston joystick. With an Xbox 360/One controller you will need to use the “back”/”select” button to call the virtual keyboard to choose in the games main menu the “Kempston joystick” option. Say, for example, that a game shows press “3” for Kempston, in the virtual keyboard go to that key and press “B” in the controller. Then do the same for starting the games (“press P”, “press S”, etc., to start) or, in some cases like Chuckie Egg 2 where you need to press any key to get to the main menu.
