Shutdown_label_Enabled true If true, will show a Shutdown label in the main menu bar to exit the emulator directly from the HyperPause menu.
Load_PDF_and_Compressed_Files_at_HyperPause_First_Start false If true, HyperPause will load all pdf files and 7z compressed manuals, guides, artwork and controls at the first time that you start HyperPause in a game section. This will make HyperPause start slower at the first time, but the menus naviagtion of these files will be much faster. If it is set to false, HyperPause will only load these by demand, warning you by the help text at the bottom right of the screen while it is in loading time.
Pdf_Dpi_Resolution 72 This will set the quality of the manual pages displayed by changing the dpi resolution. Be aware that increasing resolution may not improve the image quality compared to the default output of 72 dpi if the source pdf file is of bad quality, but it will surely cause higher loading times and higher memory use.

Disable_HyperPause_Menu true Very few emulators only allow randomly HyperPause to be drawn above them. If this option is true and the line "disableActivateBlackScreen=true" is present at the haltemu label of the emulator module, HYperPause will not be drawn to the screen and it will act as a normal pause key, without the extra features of HyperPause menus.
Enable_Mouse_Control false If true, will show an overlay image to enable HyperPause mouse control
Support_Additional_Image_Files true If false, HyperPause will only look for image files with the extension PNG in the HyperPause resource folders. This will cause a faster HyperPause loading time on the first run, however only image contents with this extension will be shown on HyperPause menus. if true, HyperPause will search for any image files with the following extensions: PNG,GIF,TIF,BMP and JPG.
Keymapper_Enabled false If true, loads keymapper file located at Keymapper\HyperLaunch\ folder while in HyperPause screen\
