the exit in hyper hq would only ask you to exit completely, not just return from game to the wheel or emulator. I ended up solving both issues in mame directly. I opened it on its own and (with the x arcde plugged in), went into the general inputs menu. Changed ui enter and escape, to whatever buttons I chose on the x arcade. I started hyperspin and chose a game, went into tab, mame settings here,changed it so p1 start, and coin are the same. It now works great, I can select a game, using p1 start, press again to add coins if needed, and again to start the game, same for p2. I put the exit button to the side, push once to exit game to wheel, again to exit emulator.
