Ok guys been working on this for a while, thought I would put out the 1.0 while I've got the chance...
...Presenting genre backgrounds and wheels for MAME/Arcade!
Here is a collection of wheels and backgrounds in the style of my SNES and Mega Drive/Genesis packs. Unlike those packs, there are no included xmls with this pack as I have spent hours hand sorting my genres in a specific and unique way that will not match the average user 1 to 1.
Unfortunately what this means is you are going to have to get your hands a bit dirty this time to make this pack work for you, the backgrounds and wheels are provided and organised, but you are going to need to do some renaming in order to suite the images to your xml files. Also you may find there are certain publisher or specific genre wheels that don't have included backgrounds or wheels here.
The good news is there is a large selection to find something appropriate to complete your own setup, there are multiple images for just about every genre and I HEAVILY ENCOURAGE you to go through and rename the images you like, rather than the defaults I have selected.
If your not sure what is involved in setting this up check out @ninja2bceen 's excellent tutorial video on genres.
I take no credit for any of the background images, i've merely edited existing images that are out there to suit.
I have created a few of the wheels from scratch, and given some existing ones a face-lift. There's a fair few hours of work here and I hope it shows.
When I have some time there is a chance I will come back to this to increase it's scope and rename the images to match the standard naming conventions so it can be a little bit more plug and play.
As usual i've included the default image for the border so as people can create their own backgrounds. I've also included my genre.xml which is unlikely to suit you directly but might help as a starting point.
If anything seems incorrect, or you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments.
Enjoy!

Here is @SupraKarma's Mame pack, it contains wheels for all occasions and was the base for this pack, anything not included here you should find there.
Also check here for the 'Base pack' It may be more recent and complete I'm not sure.

I have had much from this community so this is my little contribution in return.
I made a light gun genre on hyperspin but couldnt find any wheel art for it so I made one.
Hope you like it,

MAME and individual system databases with the genres named to match the included media.
These XMLs and Media were re-named to work and display properly in both the HyperSpin genre wheel and on the RocketLauncher Fade screen.
(For example: Sports/Baseball renamed to Sports-Baseball in the XML)
Also includes the matching media for HyperSpin genre\Backgrounds, HyperSpin genre\Wheel and RocketLauncher fade\_default\genre
Why? Because the standard genre naming convention in MAME doesn't work well with RocketLauncher Fade. The RL devs will be fixing this in a future update, but for now this works.

Make sure you back up your own XMLs and media first. Personally I use the Backgrounds and the Unframed Genre Wheels as my Hyperspin media (media\system\images\genre\backgrounds & wheel). I use the Framed Genre Wheels as my RocketLauncher Fade screen media (RocketLauncher\media\fade\_default\genre) as I think the uniform frames look better on the Fade screen.
-MAME and the System Classics (Atari, Capcom, Cave, Data east, Irem, Konami, Midway/Bally, Namco, Nintendo, Taito, Williams) are built from the .167 MAME XML (with no casino, no mahjong).
-AAE, Model 2, Model 3 are built from their up-to-date official XMLs.
-Daphne is built from its official up-to-date XML, but also includes Ninja Hayate and Time Gal.
-Atomiswave and Naomi are built for the newest release of DeMul.
-SNK Neo Geo is both the official Neo-Geo xml, combined with SNK Classics.
If you notice anything that needs to be fixed please let me know.

I've put together some genre backgrounds for the SNES. You can see a few examples above.
I was fairly critical in trying to find the best art I could and went with nostalgia as much as possible, some boxart, some official and some fanmade.
Put these in 'Media\Super Nintendo Entertainment System\Images\Genre\Backgrounds' in your Hyperspin folder.
These go with my SNES genre fix with xmls and images from @SupraKarma 's Ultimate SNES 2.0 pack. (linked below)
I'll include the xmls with this upload for convenience but head here for more details.
The sports category backgrounds and all the wheels are from @SupraKarma's pack but I've included them here for convenience with permission.
There are a few multiples included, (driving1.png, driving2.png etc.) Just remove the number to use an alternate background.
I've included the Wheel Border image in case you want to do any of your own.
Enjoy!

I didn't create any of these wheels, just gathered and placed in one folder to match the database. Credits to various Hyperspin Media & Wheel creators.
A few of the PC game wheels are just resized images. Main menu wheel inside the folder if you don't already have one.
