This is in off topic discussion because it's just a rudimentary idea I'm playing with and hoping for some feedback. So now I'm getting into autohotkey, and I realized just how easy it is to launch images, and I'm thinking about trying to assign a hotkey to launch an artwork image with system information (These will need to be made, right now I just captured the wiki page for SNES and turned it into a png.) It's actually really easy: ^J:: Run, %A_WorkingDir%\Super Nintendo Entertainment System.png ^w:: Send !{F4} Return Provided the image is in the same directory at the ahk script, Control J will launch the image (in its default viewer) and Control W will cl…

Does anyone have any experience with these rom cards? Ive had one for a while with no issues, I tried to turn it on last night and its just totally dead. Kinda feels like its a firmware issue. But unfortunately its seemingly damn near impossible to find a fresh download for the same card. I have an R4i r4 talk Upgrade 2.0v Revolution for DS card. The website at the bottom of the card www.r4i-ndsill.com doesnt exist. Ive tried to download some other kernal updates for it, but im still getting nothing. Help if you can dudes. im in over my head.

So, lets list the reasons why HyperSpin and these forums are better than real life. I'll Start: Hyperspin is better than real life because on the Hyperspin forums if someone dumps their problems all over you, you can usually outline two or three steps that will solve their problem, have them playing games in a jiffy, and they are usually grateful and you feel good about yourself and the world is a better place because of that transaction. In real life, if someone dumps their problems all over you, you can usually offer your best advice but it won't solve anything, that person will not change much because of your effort, or really be enriched at all, and more often than…

Just wanted to stop in and say hello to everyone here and thx. Managed to get lots of stuff up and running cruising thru everyone's helpful info and posts over a few months. Was only some what familiar with setting up and playing emulators before hand. Took a break from world of warcraft in November, and having a blast with hyperspin and older systems since. Needed something to do with gaming to fill some time Still currently play a bit of Hearthstone too. Hopefully over time I can contribute to the hyperspin community and sure ill post up some questions or requests at some point. Thanks again everyone.

As a sparky, I couldn't help myself and made an RGB light switch for my arcade room that is yet to be built along with the new house. So a quick test circuit on a breadboard, schematic built in Eagle, files shipped to Iteadstudio and a couple of weeks later, a few printed circuit boards arrive. This will connect to my home automation system. And the end result.......

Hi everyone, I've gotten right into XBMC of late and I've finally ripped all my DVD's and BD's into XBMC and am really enjoying the all encompassing entertainment experience. I really like XBMC's UI, especially the Aeon Nox skin. I've been using XBMC to launch Hyperspin and that works nicely. However I would like to have a more seamless system and also take advantage of XBMC's more sophisticated UI as my emulators frontend. My question is, has any Hyperspinners had a crack at using XBMC as their emulators frontend? I've had a bit of a dig around in the Advanced Launcher add on and it looks cool. Has any of the Hyperlaunch team tried to marrying Hyperlaunch to XBMC? If a…

First off, Hello, I have been working the last couple of days on a side project, I am looking to have the flexibility of hyperspin with the ease of use of html5, this is what I have come up with... I used C++ with OpenGL and FreeGlut to render the chromium browser (awesomium library) on screen (full screen), I have all the keyboard/mouse functions working great and tested initial js performance it seems to run very fast. I found a fast animation tweening library which runs very well so far. I plan on using SQLite for local data storage, but I will keep them pretty normalized for speed and focus on very few (none if possible) inner-joins. I am looking to replicate hyper…

Need some help, basically I would like to know how much is "readable" this ambigram before i start tweaking it. What do you read in the 2 lines, and, more important, do you read something? It is a bit difficult to evaluate how "good" an ambigram when you design it unless it's a "natural" ambigram so the best thing is to show it to people. Moreover, being hyperspin an international forum, there's a big advantage as reading an ambigram in a foreign language is a bit harder (our mind is used to automatically "see" known word) Thank you variation

My MAME cabinet (a converted Battlezone cabinet from 1980) currently has a computer CRT in it that has had the plastic casing removed, etc. I recently aquired a 21" SUN SVGA CRT (max 800x600) that I'd like to drop in instead, but I want to make sure I am doing it correctly and avoiding risk of electric shock, etc. So, has anyone done this before and can provide some solid safety tips and rules of thumb? Thanks!
