How to Configure HyperSpin in Five Easy Steps

This is a step by step guide of how to use RocketLauncher on HyperSpin.

Step 1: Install HyperSpin

• You will have the least amount of issues installing HyperSpin and RocketLauncher into their own unique folders on the root of your drive.

• Install it to H:\HyperSpin

Step 2: Install RocketLauncher

HyperSpin version 1.3 or lower

Step 5: What else?
