Following the news from Adobe earlier this week: https://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2017/07/adobe-flash-update.html It’s concerning since Flash is what powers HyperSpin, but also not that surprising since it’s riddled with security exploits on the web. This news *really* does put the nail-in-the-coffin for HS as it exists today. Sure, we can continue to see updates for a short while, but for how long? Will we ever see HS switch platforms? How does the community feel about this?

Hey Hyperspinners, With a recent post about screensavers within Hyperspin, I figured we could also process for science!? As a kid growing up in the 90's I loved a program called Seti@Home, it allowed you to process packets of data to help the search for alien life/planets and other space objects. It also was an awesome free 3D Screensaver. From there the program has expanded to now be known as Boinc and has taken on numbers other amazing uses in Astronomy, Medical physiology, Antimalarial drug discovery, Seismology and more.. Link to Projects The power you designate to the application us up to you if you want to have it running with minimal …

To be honest.. I didn't know what to expect. I was fearing clichés. It was not.. It was awesome... I don't want to spoil anything. If you like castlevania you need to watch this! Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-A700FD met Tapatalk

Ok, don't panic guys my account hasn't been hacked in India I'm actually there and I have internet so my twitter feed will be a little busy with ideas and I'm seriously considering bringing back aftershow. for those who remember aftershow. I did a little aftershow whenever I wrote the hyperspin reports. now its seems more apt with the current climate with simplyaustin, hs and various sites opening up to these sources. I would like to hear your ideas on this as I will cover everything. Artists, since I suck at art new logo wouldn't go amiss. with the official HS channel being done by the fantastic AVAR. I would cover more emulation, other frontends and play a random game f…

I'll start. I think FF7 is (and always was) the single most overrated game of all time. Even in my youth, after FF, FFIV, and FFVI I was hyped af by VII's cool ass commercials but I ended up needing three separate attempts to get through the game because every last thing about it just bored/annoyed the absolute piss outta me. The music was a massive downgrade from VI and even IV, everything was slow to the point even standard progress felt like a grind, neither the primary characters nor the supporting characters or random NPCs seemed to have the same spirit as in any other FF (save for the Turks, they were probably the only thing about the game that impressed me), and de…

From what I gather, neither HyperSpin 2.0 nor Hyperspin for Linux has much chance of seeing the light of day, and it seems people are considering leaving for GameEx if it ever get its graphical priorities straight (http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?30907-Front-End-GameEx-prepares-something-Very-important). As I questioned in that thread: why not do it ourselves? Since we don't have access to the HyperSpin source code nor to its proprietary libraries it would be a restart, but it's certainly not impossible. Around the start of this century I wrote a front-end for my Linux machine (http://www.towel42.nl/mame.html), and I recently hooked up with the author of…

I just watched a new game show that I have never seen before. The game show is called Funderdome hosted by Steve Harvey. The game show broadcasts in USA, I am unsure if it airs in other countries. I watched it for the first time tonight, and I seen the contestant offer up the so called DreamCade Replay. Long story short, they were awarded $100,000 for their inventions. It was aired tonight on July 16th, 2017. They said it supports 10,000 games, but only 150 are included. I could tell from the look on Steve Harvey face, that he has no idea what emulation and roms are. On a vote of 53% to 47% DreamCade Replay won, and the other contestant lost. My only…

Hi, I am using Dolphinbar and wiimotes to emulate lightgun with mame games. Everything is working only that sometimes the controller name changes. S it changed from guncode1 to guncode5 then guncode6 recently. It is very annoying to have to remap the keys or have to retype the cfg file. Could this be because I paired another controller or I switched dolphinbar mode ? How can I avoid that ?

In honor of this historic event I thought I'd put together a timeline to mark the occasion. January 24th, 2015: While sitting on the couch with my wife I suddenly had the idea that it might be cool to build a Pac-man Championship DX+ arcade machine. January 25th: Started researching and first learned of HyperSpin from Youtube vids & started looking into cab builds and cab kits. February 3rd: Found someone getting rid of a mostly built-cab that was the perfect size for the monitor I wanted to buy. I decided to use it instead of starting from scratch or using a kit. February 7th: Truck borrowed. Cab picked up. In the house and ready to go. February 9th: Start…

Are there any cheap alternatives to play arcade games on tv via rgb scart native resolution which does not involve raspberry pi/pc setup (because there are so many things to to buy outside of the device itself) ?

Looking at the date of me officially joining the ranks of the HyperSpin forums, thus beginning my real passions of writing and news media 28 Feburary 2009 I joined the site. Jesus, 8 years, being part of a community which still to this day continues to amaze me. With theme and artwork being created for more than just Hyperspin. Hyperspin Community as done more for the emulation scene in terms of little things rather that the actual app. No disrespect for BadBoyBill here because he created this scene and set the standard for the future of frontends. While Hyperspin is going through a lull in terms of development. Side projects and themes and artwork are the …

I'm starting an ongoing web series and some of my goals include the promotion of HyperSpin and HyperSpin contributors. Whenever possible I'll be plugging HS content creators. In addition, in various episodes I'll be giving out some self-made or modified (typically widescreen converted) HS media for use in your cabs. I hope people enjoy it In addition to my AV Archivist YouTube channel and FaceBook, I'll post new episodes here and in whatever other section of the forums any appicable downloads would be associated with. My first episode is on a game I've been wanting to try for a while now, Transformers: Devestation. Widescreen modification/redo of samVSsami's game the…

I'm getting used to overlays/bezels for emulation, stretching videos isn't working for me, if it's 4:3, fine, let be it. In Libretro forums, there's some threads where some nice guys post their overlays, there are TVs and borders, tons of them, here are some I created myself: Check tutorial in the second post NDS (Original Aspect Ratio) GBA (Original Aspect Ratio) And there are some that are really pro like these: Genesis: Master System: Saturn: SNES: PSX: There in Libretr…

Anyone have any wheel art for this system?
Last reply by Avar, -
Hi. I'm using mame64 0.184 with HyperSpin and RocketLauncher. Mame.ini says use bezels 1, and RocketLauncher is set to use MAME bezels, but every game is starting with bezels disabled. I have to go into each game's tab menu and enable bezels, and it will display. After doing that, the bezel will also display when I restart the game. I don't want to go into each game and do this, so, do you know what's going on here? Thank you.

We've got a Raspberry Pi 3 and we have the following idea to use Hyperspin and Rocketlauncher as a Mediacenter ( for mother ) she is not technical, so we must make it as simple as possible we tried to experiment with Kodi on our PC, but is not very user friendly and looking through the files and folders with no luck ( because where do the scraped image's go, we do not know ) so to explain our idea HyperSpin boots up Automatically she will see the wheel with different Categories for example The Movie Theater after selecting and entering, she will see the movie's name in the wheel, then the DVD Cover as the ba…

My cat died a while ago and I would like to hang a picture of him on the wall. I have a photo that I really like, but there is some grass in there that I would like to remove first. I think it would be enough if I could get rid of the straws over the face. I tried to do it myself but that didn't go very well. I would really appreciate if someone could help me out with this. I'm not sure if the quality of the photo changes when attaching it. If so, I could send it in a PM. Thanks.
