Hi everyone, Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. I'm an avid gamer, gaming since the early 80's. Most of my gaming then was on PC with some NES and SMS. I got into console more heavily with PS1 onwards but I've enjoyed going back and expanding into older console stuff over the years. I've been mucking around with LaunchBox\BigBox for a few years on and off, but I recently saw a video demonstrating HyperSpin 2 so I thought I'd check it out. LB\BB is a great product, but I must confess to a few frustrations with it. Curious to see how HyperSpin 2 goes.

Hey guys, Just wanted to drop a quick note to introduce myself. I've been a huge fan of retro gaming since the 90s, and after trying out a few different frontends, I keep coming back to HyperSpin. The themes, the wheel art, and the overall nostalgia factor are just unmatched. I'm currently setting up a dedicated retro PC hooked up to my living room TV, aiming to get everything running smoothly from 8-bit classics up to some heavier MAME and lightweight 3D systems. I’m currently diving into the configuration side of things, figuring out the best global settings and clean database management. Glad to finally join the community officially instead of just readi…

Hi everyone, I’m new around here and just starting to dive into the HyperSpin ecosystem. I’ve always loved emulation and retro games, and now I’m trying to build a more complete, organized setup with wheels, themes and proper frontend configuration instead of just launching emulators one by one. At the moment I’m still learning the basics (folders, XML lists, media, etc.) and testing different systems, so any tips, recommended guides or “must‑do” best practices are very welcome. I’m mostly interested in arcade, classic consoles and a clean, fast interface. Glad to join the community and I hope I can contribute as I learn more.

This is my first time with hyperspin,... Came across it whilst browsing ytube for retro gaming on the nvidia shield. I've had the 48k spectrum, commodore 64, amiga 500, amiga 1200, Wii, ps1, ps3, xbox one, various laptops/P.C.s. My first viewing of any kind of computer was a 16k spectrum at a mates house one xmas. 4 hours trying to run manic miner, before we game up and went for a game of footy instead. Great days.

Hello all, I was a member eons ago (2008 or so? I think) - when I was trying to figure out which Front End to use. I've tried many - my first cabinets used AtomicFE, but since 2011 my last (and personal) cab went MalaFE and ran beatifully until it gave up it's ghost during the holidays. PC and hard-drives - gone. PSU blew and shorted. I've attached a photo of my cabinet.

So here I am after a 15 year hiatus trying to figure out a new FE and since I'm using a much more powerful PC I thought I should give Hyperspin a go. So - let's see where this goes shall we? Be seeing you, Aberto2K

I just opened up an account and thought I'd give a hearty hello and salutation to all! I've been a gamer all my life and it's always nice to meet more who are just as enthused (read: sick) as myself. I look forward to getting to know some of you and although I have always been more of a lurker, I will try to be more outgoing here.

I use to be a moderator here a few years ago but I guess if you don't login for a long time, accounts get shutdown... Well sort of, I got a couple of emails stating "someone sent you a PM". Unfortunately my login credentials are broken so I cannot read the message entirely. Something about "cannot find launcher". @cdnbum88 If I am not mistaken there is a line in the hyperpin.ini that points to an old launcher (hyperlaunch). Back when I was here, 99% of users used Rocket launcher instead so this line needs to point to that exe.

Hello all. I have been a member for ten years and never said hello. Saw 2.0 is out and my old pc is dying so I thought I would give it a try. I'll do that as soon as I figure out how to download it. I'm kind of nervous as I have the whole MAME ROM package, but with Pleasuredome gone I'll need to make those old ROMs work.

Hey, I'm new into retro Arcade gaming and have stumbled across this site. I can see there are several front ends to choose from (i am looking at a few) but I wanted to know where I could get a demo / trial version of HS to try out ? I have 2 x Sinden light guns and am making a DIY spinner for steering games. I already have a bunch of mame (0.279) games. Just trying to get a reliable solution. Any advice appreciated 🙂

Hi everyone! No idea why it's taken me so long to bring myself to these forums, glad to finally be part of the community! I've been into emulation for (checks DOB) about 30 years now! Clearly remember running my first MD/Genesis ROM on a Pentium PC running at 100mhz with 8MB of RAM from a 800MB hard drive...simpler times! Shortly after I was blown away when N64 (which was still very much a current console at the time...) being playable through UltraHLE with my Voodoo card, getting hold of Neo-Geo games which was unattainable as a child, and seeing BLEEM! on the shelves at my local computer outlet (IYKYK). Today I'm mostly playing with PIs, 'obsolete' PCs …

G’day all ! WOW I haven’t been here to years for years (couldn’t even log back into my old account). Well done for keeping Hyperspin alive, it was my first arcade love. Completed many machines with Hyperspin front end. Would love to help again anyway I can. How can I help and get copy to test. I still got a lot of files backed up from 1.5. Thanks everyone and keep this frontend alive.

Hi everyone, I have been using Hyperspin for many years now but only new to the community. I am so excited to update to Hyperspin 2. The original hyperspin was really hard to setup but once it is done, we spent hours playing all the old school games. Reliving my youth.

Hello all, okay I’m not a level 1 noob. But wow is all I can say to all the beautiful work that has been done to hyperspin over the years! I recently got it fully installed / working and utilizing rocket launcher- HS1.5 version just wow the art files you all created are truly amazing. I’ve been into arcade machines for over a decade so would often see custom machines but none like the level hyperspin has gotten to. anyways I just wanted to introduce myself. I know I will have questions as I continue to make my hyperspin more my unique tastes. As of now I’m configuring it to play all my old classic games I love. cheers!
