I've been working to jazz up some of the less exciting genre wheels i've found and making some new ones to suit a few of my custom genre categories. I thought I would share in case anyone has any input as I don't have any formal design training and am just kind of making it up as I go. With the new update I figure the genre wheels would be great candidates for the new animated wheels feature also, though I'm yet to aquire any software capable of making them. Here are a few in progress.

IMPORTANT - New Location Themes now Located in /upload here/Unified Mega Theme. You'll also find the bezels and wheels in there. Static, non animated versions of the entire collection in 16x9 can be found in ./Themes/16x9 HD/ thanks to Unknown50862 & Styphelus in particular for doing the heavy lifting and building all those out. The deluxe themes are slow going, lots of work involved in them. Only 1 is published at the moment but I'll be releasing a handful more over the next 2 weeks. Once those are done (or mostly done) I'll return to the 4x3 animated themes and finish them up. ================================================================= I've been workin…

Hello Everyone! I've been pretty inactive lately, but today I bring you some new wheel art for Game Boy Color! The logos and naming conventions used were taken from the latest official Hyperspin set. I have included two sets for 4:3 and 16:9 builds, with templates included (if you ever need them for anything). Enjoy Download Link (Google Drive, 182mb)

Hey guys, I was just surfing through my art collections, and noticed two systems that I don't quite feel comfortable with their 3D boxes; Nintendo 64 and Famicom Disk System. I made a N64 topic some time ago, asking for the boxes spines so I can make the real deal, but got no responses, so I dropped it. Today I was messing around with the current Famicom Disk System set I have (created by Dubbloseven and jcm9800 here in these forums), and I could not stop until having something I liked. Here it is (template and demo image -I might not have chosen the best demo image, as it has the title and art in diagonal, and with perspective it looks kinda weird-): …

Hey guys! I am updating my Famicom 3D box pack. The original one I did was the 2D covers with perspective and an added spine with its corresponding color, but nothing else. In this new version I am improving the perspective, adding some shadows and lights where its supposed to be, and adding the small box lid at the top. It is not much, but its a great improvement (at least for me) over the previous one. Example of old (left) and new (right): > > > > If you still prefer the old version over the new, do not update, as there are no new games added. Enjoy!

I downloaded a custom letters pack and I put the .png files inside the correct /Images/Letters/ directory but I'm not seeing this font used when I load up Hyperspin. What else do I need to do for HS to utilize these new letters? Thanks in advance.

Just from messing around I know "spin", "rock_slow", etc work, and I know "grow center shrink" works for example, but "pixelate zoom out" doesn't. Is there a definitive list? Thanks

Hello everyone, I know its been a very long time that I made a post. I kind of disappeared for a while. I run my own business, so for a while I was very, very busy and had no free time. Now, I do have some free time and want to get back into creating my own Hyperspin.... I do have some questions to ask if someone can help me out. The tutorials by Avar have been quite helpful. However, in the main menu that I want.... I want basically two tabs at the very beginning of the main menu. The one tab will be for Settings... This will be for Button Settings for controllers and the gun controllers. The other tab will be for the emu…

Welcome to a New Universal Theme Idea. Retro Cafe. A simple package designed for beginners and veterans alike who want a uniform design to their system. It uses Rainmeter as an addition to gain more control which I have dubbed, HyperControl. To install just download the 1.1.0 package and extract the contents to their relevant areas. Just be sure if you are not using this with a new setup to backup just in-case. PS. You may have to change your HyperHQ Settings to High CPU Priority and High-Medium Graphics Quality to have the animations and video previews run smoothly. As in the video preview I had it set to Low Priority and Extra High Graphics Quality. A…

I came to the conclusion that we are never going to have a large amount of NDS cart scans, the next best thing is to make custom versions. I first made a custom label and I was going to add the WIP wheels to that label. Since we only have at most 1K wheels and the number is not rising. I decided to crop the box and add them to Haimbilia DS template. yes I know the serial is the same for all Region carts. No I'm not fixing them. I'm going to have to go back and double check all the 2K plus carts and boxes. as it turns out the NDS box pack I have, has allot of Rating Pending, Pal boxes with US names and US boxes with Pal name…

So I have been mainly working on PC Game Themes aside from my other projects. Noticing that as this is and will be an ever growing wheel I am looking to start completing the "Best PC Games" Whilst the "Best" games will be different to most people I have decided to use the below list from PC Gamer as I found them to be pretty good in the past. http://www.pcgamer.com/the-pc-gamer-top-100/ Note: This list is the 2014 Version. I will look to keep going through the years to current. I will be listing one or more Games a week and adding a theme/wheel/video for it over the coming weeks, hoping once completed to continue forward from there. All thes…

Hey All, Whilst newish to the scene (Probably a bit late to the party) I am enjoying very much creating themes and media for everyone and I hope you enjoy what I bring to the table. So this thread will just be a singular place for me to share concept designs, discuss ideas and gauge feedback from you the people that will use it in the end. Feel free to comment and critic what you will as any feedback is always taken on-board. Note: I am not changing Front Ends and/or giving up. Hyperspin is and will be the only FE I will be working with. However if you want to use/adapt anything I create for others you are more than welcome to. List of Projects R…

So I recently made the jump from a 20in 1280 x 1024 monitor to a 32in 1920 x 1080 hi-def TV for my cab. The switch to widescreen (especially a much larger widescreen) proved to be an unexpected hassle with regards to the graphics, as I was not aware that HS natively ran at 1024 x 768. Skipping to the point, thanks to Dark's excellent scripts, I've been able to create base themes in 1080p that are graphically crisp, but the video quality is now below average...as in, it got MUCH worse in the upgrade. I get that scaling up the 640x480 video to be larger would create blurriness. But I'm running them at their native resolution in the theme (albeit with a 75% width modifie…

Hi there, first post here and HS noob! I'm trying to create a main menu theme with cinematic backgrounds UNDER the wheel, i.e. have the wheel always showing on top of everything else. I can get the videos playing full screen etc just fine using the default theme XML, but because of the way the themes are layered with the wheel, the video layer always hides it. Even with Alpha set set to 1 in HyperHQ. Are there any settings to change to have the wheel stay on top? OR failing that, a way to have the video as the background layer so it would be underneath?
