User Profiles

Profiles give each person a separate way into HyperSpin. A profile holds a name, image, optional PIN, and system access list.

Create a profile​

  1. Open Settings in HyperHQ.
  2. Open User Profiles.
  3. Select Add Profile.
  4. Enter a Profile Name.
  5. Choose an image if wanted.
  6. Select Create Profile.

The new profile appears on the Who is playing screen when HyperSpin starts.

Add a PIN​

  1. Open the profile.
  2. Turn on Enable Profile Lock.
  3. Enter a PIN from 4 to 10 digits.
  4. Enter the same PIN under Confirm PIN.
  5. Save the profile.

Use a PIN when the profile has access to settings or systems you do not want available to every player.

Restrict system access​

  1. Open the profile.
  2. Find Restrict System Access.
  3. Turn systems on or off.
  4. Use the search box for a large library.
  5. Save the profile.

Enable All restores access to every system. Disable All gives you a clean starting point for a smaller list.

Test the profile​

  1. Close HyperSpin if it is running.
  2. Launch HyperSpin from HyperHQ.
  3. Select the profile.
  4. Enter its PIN.
  5. Confirm only the selected systems appear.

Useful profile setups​

Family profile​

Give the profile access to family-friendly systems and collections. Add a PIN to the main profile.

Guest profile​

Keep a short list of reliable games and hide work-in-progress systems.

Dedicated cabinet profile​

Show only the systems connected to the controls installed in the cabinet.

Common problems​

A profile shows no systems​

Edit the profile and enable at least one system under Restrict System Access.

The PIN screen rejects the code​

Return to Settings, User Profiles in HyperHQ and set a new PIN.

Profile changes do not appear​

Close and restart HyperSpin after saving profile access changes.
