Guys Wondering if anyone can help me please. I am using bezels fine across all systems possible apart from MAME. On my setup, i have a bezel that is an outside of a screen, like a screen frame and then backgrounds with artwork in them that also acts as a bezel, say for instance altered beast, the background has the instructions and buttons down the sides but also is shaped liked a curved screen. Now my problem is i cant seem to display just the background, i NEED to have the bezel in the folder otherwise no bezel/background shows at all and its just blank. I dont want to TV frame at all, anyone know how to get rid of it but still show the background …

As you know (with a lot of help from other people) I made a complete Handheld Bezels set (Full Device) to use with big screens (24" or bigger). Now I would like to get a Handheld Bezels Set (Not Full Device) compilation to use in smaller screens (24" or less) I will try to give the credits the author deserve of the bezels i post here. If i don't know who did it and the author appears, i will add to the post. I want to say that none of this bezels are done by me. I just want to compile them in one post. Hope people helps to fill all the gaps.

Hiya, i'm just getting around to learning how to do some custom themes so thought i'd check out Hypertheme, it seems a bit restrictive when you try to change video/image sizes but regardless it's a good tool and i'm sure I can use it to my advantage, but when I try to export something as a theme it says '7za.exe' is missing, now this is definately installed so does it have to be in a certain location for Hypertheme to find it? or can I somewhere tell Hypertheme to find it! Thanks!

Hey, I've just uploaded on the ftp my Default Mame Theme. (see this thread) This Default Mame Theme is very simple (no animations, etc) and relies on clean game logos (and custom wheel images too). I've cleaned or redrawn 134 logos for now, and any help would be appreciated. If you have photoshop skills (vector drawing, etc.), you can post here your contribution. Here are a few examples, and for a complete list, please download my theme pack in the ftp/EvilDindon folder : zupapa : Hi res : http://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=14/44/n49v.png xsleena : Hi Res : http://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=14/44/z7iy.png yiear : Hi Res : hsf2 : Hi Res : http://zupim…

Hi, I have created several default themes for cd system as dreamcast, mega cd, etc.. I would like to use the spinning effect on the discs but in order to create an hd theme, I have decreased at 75% the width to show a disc with equal dimensons on the theme. but the problem is that if I apply the spinning, the disc become oval during spinning (normal because one the width is reduced) is there a way to use the spinning effect on hd theme with a good dimensions of the disc without deformation ? thanks for yours advices regards

I just couldn't stand Sonic Mania not having a proper Sega console to call home... so I set up a whole new one and fleshed it out with some other games. While not 'technically' emulated. The PCLauncher module from RocketLauncher boots these all up just the same.

Tried my best to make the title understandable and searchable. Wondering if artwork in SWF hold its original resolution and size? Is the art only shrunk based off of measurment or is it shrunk in all aspect? I look at how the unified megatheme cheated HS by placing a widescreen image on a smaller canvas without losing any resolution to the image itself. Or so I think. If I recall the swf art in the magathemes when extracted was a lot larger them what was seen on the screen. The reason I ask is I see all these awesome new widescreen themes being made and Im concerned that if HS does actually get native resolution then we will be stuck with a bunch of great themes that now …

Hey Guys, I have been looking around and not found much media to upgrade the Front end. I have seen a few versions floating around but wondering if people are looking for more/change? Noticing that it will recognize swf files if you rename them accordingly so we can create 16:9 content. Question is what sort of exit screens do we want? Simple worded content or themed content? Maybe an Exit Door out of an Arcade? Lots of options for themed versions also. Very Simple Mock-up

If someone could upload the CD art from this pack to the uploads section it would be much appreciated as the original rar pack seems to be a broken file.

So, like @Avar said 16:9 is the New Standard I'll start a project to find, collect, and make for all systems. I like to give a big THX to @CriticalCid to find this amazing stuff. NOTE: SOME THEMES DON'T HAVE THE AUTHOR, IF YOU ARE THE AUTHOR OF SOME THEME PLEASE WARN ME I'LL PUT A SCREEMSHOT OF THE THEME AND DOWN I PUT THE DOWNLOAD (MY PC IS A 1366X768/RES SO THE PHOTOS WILL BE IN THIS RESOLUTION BUT THE THEMES ARE 16:9)

I noticed on emumovies that they have implemented a link to access the latest uploaded files in chronological order via one link and was trying to see if the HS forums has a similar setup as most of my time is spent in the downloads section doing searches for specific files. Like this: https://emumovies.com/discover/11/ Being able to check in to a single link every few days to see all the latest uploaded files would be a lifesaver. Unless that is this already exists on the HS forums and I have missed it.

Hi All, Not sure if this has been asked before but with the inevitable expansion into the new resolutions will Hypertheme be getting an update to allow for 16:9 1080p, 2k & 4k Canvas templates? Understanding there are many guides on how to convert media to said resolutions and DPI but it would be great to start out with this ability. I would love for this to be possible if its not too much work? Saving Video Placement when re-loading a theme would be awesome also the ability to choose .mp4 and other compatible video types as options. @BadBoyBill I guess this might still be up your ally? With this I think the Media Community wou…

If I run flv videos using vlc the temperature doesn't increase. Is it possible to change the default video player of hypersipin? Regards,

There was a video posted to the Hyperspin facebook page a little bit ago that referenced a Super Nintendo CD pack of media. This is a project that I myself have been working on for a while and I'd love to see what this individual has done with the content. I just can't seem to find it anywhere on the site, searching forums or downloads etc. Can anyone help me out?

So I unzip the default.zip file (my Sega CD Theme, in case), edit the xml with notepad++ and zip it again. It opens ok on Hyperspin. But when I try to open that zip on Hypertheme 1.1 the program crashes, leaving the message: "Error parsing zip". I´ve tried to zip with different programs and compressions, but the message persists. Any suggestions? I´m almost downloading/learing Photoshop to edit my themes.

Hi all, I'm new into theme building and starting creating them just to fill the gaps in my collection. I've read that we should now try to make all themes be at least 4k ready (8k prefered) and was trying to figure out the best way to achieve that. Currently I am creating my art in vector form and then sizing it and outputting png bitmap files. Is there a better format to make my themes images in? I really don't want to have to export 8k bitmap versions when a vector file could easily scale to fit the resolution as needed. Thanks in advance.

I just got hyperspin and I am having a heck of a time getting things working in general. I downloaded the Hyperspin Redesign theme, but I'm not sure how you install new themes. I know that you can have a main menu theme and then every console can have subthemes, but I would like to use this as a Universal theme, I'm just not sure how to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Moleburt

Hey everyone. This is my first upload for some custome MSX wheel art. Its 239 wheel art files for the MSX 1 system. I scoured google, Ebay, Youtube and various sites trying to find the best box art or cart art I could find for the MSX system. This is the end result. I made them in the same vein as the HS files that already exist(meaning I gave them the silver border). Most of these come from images taken from the box or a poster but for some the box art was plain font and the title screen was much more detailed so I chose to use that. Also there were a few that I had to just create on my own and add my own touch. I also touched up some of the HS wheels that had pixe…
