Hyperspin Attraction update 4 is here, possibly the sexiest yet! – The MotleyKru have brought on LOADS of new systems, extras, more media, enhanced pause and MUCH more.
Balance between real life and a hobby like this can be a hard task as we all know. Then we have Covid in the mix, something that was always present since the first release of this build and goal of trying to help dealing with it and related lockdowns. It was a rather innocent release at the time. Further along the road, all this is still a reality and for a small team like ours it can make things take longer than expected or even make casualties happen because real life is always more important. Family, jobs, health, other interests…
Update 4 is another major release. A big focus is the new disc based systems included but there’s way more than that on it as you can read below. More impressive code magic by Yaron, great art done by john and alexdc22, lots of testing done by voltron, support by mryoung, you name it. Smart themes have really come into their own now, Arcade MAME has been updated to version 0.239, nice details like the initial startup wheel animation… We could be here all day. We hope you all enjoy it so have fun and read carefully the information, instructions and technical notes below.

Technical:
As usual, consider any anti virus warning related to arcade pc boards (Taito Type X and similar) as false positive
Taito Type X
. Exception
– If you get an error on launching, try making the game executable (collections\Taito Type X\roms\Exception\game.exe) run in Windows 7 compatibility mode.
– If you use a different resolution than 1080p, for the game to fill your screen and bezel, replace the game.exe with correspondent one located inside here:
collections\Taito Type X\roms\Exception\_HDEXEs
Nintendo GameCube & Nintendo Wii
– If Nintendo GameCube or Nintendo Wii crashes at launch that could be related to your video card not supporting OpenGL
– Click Dolphin.exe in emulators\Nintendo GameCube & Wii
– Go to Options
– Go to Graphics Settings
– Backend chose Direct3D
– Adapter leave it Default
– Close
– Close emu
Sony PlayStation 3
– The first time you run any game the emulator will need to compile modules and shaders related to your computer architecture. Just wait and let it do its thing. It’s a one time situation per game.
If you want to delete those cache files later you can find them here: collections\Sony PlayStation 3\roms\- cache
– If you notice graphical issues, emulator crashes and similar, try changing your GPU renderer. Open the emulator, configuration, GPU. You can choose between OpenGL and Vulkan.
Nintendo Wii U
– Vulkan API enabled by default for faster performance. If your Graphic Card doesn’t support it, change to OpenGL.
Open: emulators\Nintendo Wii U\Cemu.exe
General Settings -> Graphics -> Graphics API -> OpenGL
– Completed save games have been added where possible.
All save files are stored at:
.\collections\Nintendo Wii U\_mlc\usr\save\00050000
Dummy files containing game names have been added to this folder to allow for easier save editing.
Clean redundant files:
– You can find a .bat file here: help_faqs\_backups
It does what it says. Cleans files that aren’t used anymore after update 4
