HyperLaunch
HyperLaunch is a program for Windows that gives you the ability to run different emulators from the same graphical interface. Thus, you can launch all instances without the need to configure each one. The tool is best used with a frontend like HyperSpin. Basically, it allows you to browse all consoles and video games, so when you pick a desired title, HyperLaunch will be started, and will run the emulator that is associated with the selected game.
Input configuration
The application comes equipped with a Keymapper, that is to say, you can set up a joystick or gamepad controls, and use them in all supported emulators. In order to use this feature you need to have the configuration files generated by any of the following three utilities, namely AutoHotKey, Xpadder or JoyToKey.
General notes
When it comes to main functions, the program makes use of the so-called Modules, which are files that serve as emulators. These are named like MAME, MESS, Nestopia, WinUAE, No$gba, WinKawaks, and more. For example, you can select Nestopia to run games for NES. Moreover, you do not need to manually launch the emulator each time you want to play the same title.
