Hi everyone. I'm brand new here. I am 52 years old, so I have played MOST of these games. Thousands. I started with the Oddessy system in 1974 or 1975, then PONG, then Atari 2600, and the rest is history. I'm currently enjoying Red Dead Redemption 2 on Xbox One, but I play Robotron 2084 equally as much. I am not a dumb guy, but I do get frustrated by "setup" scenarios and intricate .ini files and the like. As soon as I see a .doc or readme file that's more than three lines, I melt down. I just really want to play all these games. I am very interested in the ARCADE set, as well as all Atari, Mattel Intellivision, the Commodore 64/128, any BASIC language PC games, and …

Howdy Hey Everybody, I thought I would join up to the forum after seeing alot of youtube about Hyperspin and having tried a promotional Hyperspin drive I thought lets do this my way and here I am. I plan to assemble a Hyperspin setup that suits my needs. I plan to house everything in a 4 player cab with a dynamic marquee and P1 and P2 having Rotary sticks as im a big fan of Midnight Resistance. ? I expect there will be LOADS of questions ill be asking but im doing my own reading as well so I wont be totally reliant on the knowledge on the forum ? Take care and catch you all about the place.

I've been on this site for 3 years and I never realized there was a forum. I'm not very observent apparently. Anyway, let me introduce myself. I am known most everywhere else as Trenicion (I guess here is special :)). I am a game collector since 2006 and I found this website through a recommendation of a friend. My career is in historical preservation, as in I maintain artifacts and cataloge them. I someday want to do the same with gaming. Other then that, there isn't much more to say, but I will say I do make main menu wheels for a lot of things that you cant even emulate because I'm a weirdo, maybe someday I'll make something and post here Sorry to bore …

Greetings Hyperspinners! I am NoobTard. As my name implies I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. But this hyperspin thing is awesome! Is it possible for me to organize my music collection with hyperspin and to do all of the wheels and sub-wheels and pictures with music samples? And have the song launch with a background imagewhile it plays? I would love organize all my mp3's on an external hd that would just load hyperspin as soon as it was plugged in or accessed. Forgive my lack of knowledge on this subject matter. Thank you all in advance for the help. NoobTard

Hey My name's Dic and I stumbled upon this site by chance after doing some research on retroarch about a month ago. I have wanted to make a gaming table for a long time and relive the days playing commando as kid in the local pub, but never had a good enough excuse to attempt a project. My two kids have come to age where they can play games now and with the limited amount of simple storyline and control games that are available I thought I have my excuse to introduce them to some retro fun ! I banged together this from an old coffee table and now just working my way through the endless work of adding themes , other emulators etc.

Hi Guys back after a number of years. Holy $*&(% balls the Hyper list has gotten crazy long long. I know i'll probably get kicked but i have to ask. When is is hyperspin 2 coming? haha just kidding (unless its out). I've got a pretty sturdy version which runs nicely. I think is 1.3.2 off top of my head. Is there any major benefits in going to 1.5+? I've no idea of the release history in the last 3 years so i'm completely in the dark. Also is there any convert process like 1.33 to 1.4 or is it better to fresh install 1.5? cheers in advance Ben

Hello! I've finally taken the dive and am in the middle of creating a 4 person "portable" emulation station using hypersin as my front end. Creating a cab is something i've always wanted to do but never had the room. Now I have a house though so it's finally time! I I have been digging into this for the past couple weeks getting the PC parts and software configured before starting my cab build and was hoping someone might help me with a very odd issue. If I should post this elsewhere please let me know. I'd like to be an active community member and contribute to such a fun hobby. So here's the details: I am using Rocket Launcher and Hyper Spin …

So yeah... uh hi. Been planning on doing a retropie desktop arcade cabinet build. But I have a decent pc I just retired that I am thinking could handle games with a bit more technical demand. With that said, I was starting some research to see if there was a front-end for PC that was relatively user friendly. Hyperspin seems like it may have the best set-up for what I want to do. One of my concerns is, I want to be able to power on my arcade cabinet and have it boot right into Hyperspin. Is that something I am going to be able to do? I am sure you guys have a tutorial somewhere of what I am going to need to do that. Beyond my project, this is all somethin…
