KeymasterInstalling the ZX Spectrum (GameBase SpeccyMania v5) package for HyperSpin:
0 / Download the ZX Spectrum GameBase pack: this is the SpeccyMania v5 Gamebase pack from Sparky & Manguan (December 2020): “Sinclair ZX Spectrum.rar” of about 5-6 GB, I do not provide links, you can find it on the net.
1 / Unzip the “Sinclair ZX Spectrum.rar” files wherever you want using an archive decompressor like 7zip (free).
2 / Open an “explorer” window then go to the unzipped “..\Sinclair ZX Spectrum\Games” directory which contains all the games, copy them all and move them to the ZX Spectrum games directory of your choice.
3 / In the folder “..\Sinclair ZX Spectrum\Emulators\“, extract the archive “Spectaculator 7.51.1761.rar” then copy and replace the extracted file “..\Sinclair ZX Spectrum\Emulators\Spectaculator 7.51.1761\crack\Spectaculator.exe” to” ..\Sinclair ZX Spectrum\Emulators\Spectaculator 7.51.1761\“
4 / Run the file “..\Sinclair ZX Spectrum\Emulators\Spectaculator 7.51.1761\Spectaculator.exe” then enter the serial key found in “..\Sinclair ZX Spectrum\Emulators\Spectaculator 7.51.1761\crack\key .txt“. This will allow you unlimited use of the Speculator application, you can purchase your own license and an updated version at https://www.spectaculator.com/
5 / Copy the folder “..\Sinclair ZX Spectrum\Emulators\Spectaculator 7.51.1761\” to the location of your emulators for HyperSpin.
6 / Add a new system to HyperSpin and RocketLauncher with the name: “ZX Spectrum“
7 / For ZX Spectrum for HyperSpin media files, proceed as follows: Download the media pack from the menu “Contents -> ZX Spectrum -> Download” -> “ZX Spectrum for Hyperspin (media) .7z” (3 parts approximately 700MB). Extract the archive using the 7Zip application, then place the “ZX Spectrum” directory in the “..\HYPERSPIN\Media\” hyperspin media directory
8 / For the XML files contained in “ZX Spectrum (databases) .7z” proceed as follows: Download the XML database in the menu “Contents -> ZX Spectrum -> Download” -> “ZX Spectrum for Hyperspin (databases) .7z ”, then extract the archive and place the“ ZX Spectrum ”directory in the Hyperspin databases directory:“..\HYPERSPIN\Databases\”and in the RocketLauncher databases directory : “..\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncherUI\Databases\”
9 / For the RocketLauncher module, define the following parameters: Download the new module and its files from the menu “Contents -> ZX Spectrum -> Download” -> “ZX Spectrum for Hyperspin (module).7z”. Extract the archive and replace the “..\RocketLauncher\Modules\Spectaculator” directory with the one extracted from the archive.
10 / For RocketLauncherUI.exe defined as: Select your “ZX Spectrum” system, on “Parameters” in “7z“: “enabled = true”, “attach system name = false”. Then on “Settings” in “Settings“: “Skip Checks = rom only“. In “Emulators“, in “rom Paths“, add the folder containing all the game folders. (moved to step 2 /) then in “current emulator list…” add: “Name = Spectaculator”, “path =” Select here the executable “Spectaculator.exe” (the one found in your folder moved from step 5), “rom extensions = zip|szx|dsk|ipf|trd|scl|fdi|udi|mdr|rom|mgt|img|pok|raw|bin|rzx|sna|z80|scr|tap|blk|tzx|csw|voc|wav“, “Module = Spectaculator (GameBase_v5). ahk“, then save. Finally, in “Default Emulator“, select “Spectaculator“
11 / If you do an “audit” of the games under RocketLauncher, none will be found on the 15200: it is normal, it is the module which will give the correct path of the games at launch.
12 / Okay, take a break, it’s over! You can finally play over 15,000 ZX Spectrum games on your HyperSpin setup
