I don't use hyperspin, but I guess it could. You can set it to show CPWizard for a period of time. So, you would set CPWizard to show on the same display as HyperSpin for 5 seconds, say. You'd just need a way to launch CPWizBiz from command line from Hyperspin. The one caveat in this scenario would be that it is a little slow to boot, so it wouldn't display straight away. SHouldn't be too much of a prob if you have a reasonably fast machine (Pentium i3,5,7 ect)

Is there any documentation on how to use this with RL? Assuming I configure each system in the tool, do I export the PNG/JPG it creates, so does it integrate some other way?

Hi. You use it as a 3rd party app - so no batch creation of images.

Basically - you just need to launch CPWizBiz.exe with command line parameters and it will do the rest. The minimum cmd line to pass it is Game and System. So as long as RL/your front end can launch from cmd when you launch a game, it should do the rest.

For e.g.

Code: 
cpwizbiz.exe -gm "WipEout 3" -sy "Sony PlayStation"

Would load Wipeout 3 for the playstation. If you haven't launched this before, it will use the defaults for the system you have setup previously (i.e. the default 'Rig' - your cab controls; and the default controller setup for the Playstation).

The documentation is here, but apologies - it's a bit piecemeal, but hopefully of some use:

https://cpwizbiz.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Command Line&referringTitle=Documentation

Your best bet it to watch the videos, read the docs then do a test installation - playing around with it a little.

Maybe experiment via command line with the PLaystation system to start (defaults already set up) + then try setting up other systems.

I'm assuming that RL can issue cmd line instructions...

Let me know how you get on!
