Hello everyone, It's been over a month now that I consult the forum by browsing old topics. It was fun reading comments and love the themes made by users from this great community. I'm working on my arcade collection, I don't have a specific list so I run through the games at random.

Hey All, I know this is a real long shot, but I figured I would ask. I'm working on a multicade and at one point in time, I saw this awesome side art that was a handful of game logos that were presented in the same format as Hyperspin displays them. Like in the attached image. I want to say one of those logos was Castlevania. I've spent hours searching Google images and websites that sell artwork, but I'm not finding it. Anyone remember seeing artwork like this? Thanks in advance!

Hi, It's been years...so when I've gone to update my MAME system I realised I was on version 185 and the newest 232. What is the easiest route for a platinum member to get the latest wheels and themes for this set? I've looked and can't see anything obvious on here or EMU so any advice for an old timer would be appreciated. thanks!

Hello, I recently create two themes for my Sega Genesis and MAME systems. These themes made me learn a lot of stuff like rotate the videos to change the perspective of them and change the size and locations of the different artworks. I made this through code in the "Theme.xml" file. I want to learn all about it but I couldn't find any manual or documentation that explain all the syntaxes and codes used for this. Does Hyperspin have a main documentation for this? Or I can only learn about it seeing post about specific things on this subject? Thank you for your time.

Hello, I have a question, I once saw on the forum how someone probably did such wheels to mame, but I don't remember who, someone can templare this + can explain in what program you can do. I am not sure what I will use it for, the so-called main wheels or do wheels, it all depends if it is difficult to do: P

Strange that I have never seen anyone create some genre themes. It is possible to have swf files in the Genre\Backgrounds folder, you just need to rename the extension from swf to png or else Hyperspin doesnt recognize it. Thats is great when you want smoother and more detailed background in the genres, or some animations. https://youtu.be/J3clM7wTMeI

I been working hard the last few months making a collection of 1259 PS3 Wheels and Video Snaps for games that are currently fully playable with RPCS3 (PS3 Disc and PSN games). I just uploaded all my efforts so far: (Wheels, Themes, Video Snaps, Database). I don't know if that's acceptable now but its how I did it back in the day. I hope it can inspire the community here to improve and expand on the PS3 wheel. Things I would like improved: - replacing the low res covers. I made all of them 320 pixels wide but many were less than originally - I really should have converted the video snaps to a common size but system theme displays them all the sam…

A simple PHP script for generating genre's wheel. In a nutshell, it reads a genre.xml and use the system's wheel letters to generate genre images. Very basic at the moment. It needs some additional manual work for kerning and cropping. Anybody interested ?

I have a lot of bezels for my mame games, however I have a default folder for bezels when a game does not have one. I did want to create my own other than the default for games that do not have one. So far I have created inside my bezels folder the image to the correct dimensions, named the .jpg to the same name as the game file inside of a folder labeled the same name as the game file. It still pulls the default bezel. I cannot seem to find a cfg file or where each game looks to pull a bezel from to change or redirect it correctly. Thanks.

I've been working on a PSN main menu theme, default theme, xml database and custom artwork based off the PlayStation Store icons. The only ones I could find were tiny and really bad quality so I have been making my own trying to keep them looking similar to what they looked like in the store. I've also taken the PIC1.png out of the game folders in rpcs3 and created backgrounds for the games but im not 100% sure how I feel about them yet. Everything is still a work in progress so any feedback is welcome, and if anyone has a video snap for PSN games or just the PS3 video snap please let me know. I've attached the main menu theme if anyone wants it and can upload the rest on…

Having an issue with a theme I'm creating, anyone know of a way (conventional or unconventional) that i can layer the red horizontal bars to use a default animation in and get them placed behind the wheel, without having to make them part of the background?

Usually When setting up a mamecab a trasparent cursor set is used but this lead to maintenance problems, moreover when setting up an HTPC you will need visible cursors for the browser. Most transitions are on black so I come up with this solution for my HTPC. Probably I'll change some of the them for the final version and I still have to figure out the names used by windows default for some of them but meantime let me know what you think 😛 Windows load cursors AFTER the system is loaded so during booting and shutdown you'll see windows default cursors, to avoid this take ownership of cursors in C:Windows/Cursors and replace them. Using windows Enterprise to boot on b…

Hello Hyperspin admins and members, Lately I have been uploading themes I have been creating for my Hyperlist that is missing MAME themes. I was wondering if there was an universal list of missing MAME themes I can help contribute creating for the Hyperspin Community? If anyone has ideas, lists or whatever please do not hesitate to contact me. All admins are welcome to contact me with ideas or lists as well so I can pitch in a helping hand for all members to enjoy. Kind Regards, kidgalaxy70 (Marty) 😎

I have a problem with a theme: using rescaled .swf inside a default theme seems to create a freaking serious performance problem. Basically HS uses cpu power even when it's not on focus, the problem persist when RL is set to freeze the frontend. The theme is really simple, just a .swf background and a .swf video mask on artwork3, it's not even FHD, just 1360*768 artworks and nothing else going on. Using .pngs inside the theme totally fix the problem. I have the same problem on 2 system running w10 1809 pro and w10 1809 enterprise, HS 1.5.1. Can someone please test the theme and try something similar to see if the problem happens with every .sfw inside a default …
