We have a new website feature to go along with the HyperSpin 2 beta, the Beer Me! (Tip System) Members now have the chance to show their support and appreciation for their favorite artists and contributors by treating them to a cold, frosty pint anytime! HyperSpin has always been a community driven by incredible artists, and the contributions to this project are nothing short of amazing. While reactions, ratings, and download counts are great, nothing quite compares to the gesture of buying someone a drink to say, "Thank you." So, why wait? Show your gratitude... buy that artist (or contributor) a beer today! Here are a couple of examples Foru…

Im assuming the project is taking a break (Maybe dead)... or theres a huge rewrite of the cache coming. Which seems to be the source of all the issues.

A couple of things.... I finally got the media syncing... I think a learned a few things. Do not put the hyperspin folder in with HyperHQ.... Keep them separate. Overrides seem to be working well now. More testing to come.... Going to see if I can make a custom system... if that works! I think ill be able to start using this!

Quick question - I’m assigning a button to the “search” feature via HyperQ and it just doesn’t do anything when pressed. Is this feature implemented yet?

Hi folks, Figured I'd put this out there. My HS setup is about 10-15 years old. Works on Windows 7 inside my cabinet and I've got a bunch of old emus (Stella, MESS, Daphne etc...) running. With HS2 coming, does it make sense to change to something newer? Retroarch has been suggested to me and I'm going to look into it. Based on some advice I've gotten I've downloaded the latest version of MAME and figured I'd look at the other emus. 1. What are the pros and cons of doing a Retroarch type solution vs just running the old systems. I'd love to hear what people think. @gigapig I'd love your opinion on this. 2. If I go down this path does Retroarch make the m…

Seeing as Hyperspin has decided to discontinue Hyperspin 1.5 and therefore it’s just going to sit on a computer alone for all eternity , why can’t you now make it Opensource ? The new Hyperspin 2.0 has no similarities to it either. At least then the people who still love to use it can see it improved to run at high resolutions etc. if not, can someone just take a look at it to see if it can be upgraded to 1920x1080 while we wait for Hyperspin 2.0 to get to any kind of working level. IMO it will be years before it’s running anywhere close to 1.5 (if ever)

After stepping away from the computer for a bit, a thought crossed my mind that i wanted to share. 4 years ago I joined a cloud team, I had never been a dev before, i had an engineering background, i didn't know the culture, the lingo...anything and was on a team of 5. I was really ambitious and excited to learn and try new things. I took risks that no one else was willing to take and for 4 years all anyone ever did was bitch at me because they didn't understand what I was trying to accomplish. This was at a global org. All that anyone ever did around me, including my own team was talk down to me and treat me like I had no idea what i was doing...i did, but they …

I'm not sure if many people here are familiar with the Steam ROM Manager. Their media selection tools are great and I think that @Circo & @fr0stbyt3 should take a closer look and perhaps this could be something to take into consideration with HS2 media. I could imagine something similar to this for HQ. Allow users to browse existing server side artwork, or even upload missing, or even allow the user to use their own local medias. SRM is also Open Source, so perhaps code could be pulled to make adding this pretty quick. Here I have added my SNES collection into Steam ROM Manager. The example I'm using here is 3 Ninjas. As you can see the Media is not really ma…

I just wanted to say that it is extremely exciting to see HyperSpin being developed again. Being honest, I migrated everything to LaunchBox several years ago, but I'd never given up hope that HS 2.0 was still going to see the light of day. While long delays in updates can and did lead to a lot of folks jumping ship, I will always consider returning if/when 2.0 reaches the same level of maturity as LB. One area where HS always did have an advantage (and still does with this new release) is in theme development. HyperTheme was always such a fun, intuitive tool. I'm SO glad that isn't changing and is being modernized and improved. Everything I'm seeing so far looks really pr…

Hey everyone! I just wanted to give a huge shout-out to all our amazing beta testers for an awesome first week. We’re already 6 builds in with 12 new features and over 80 fixes—talk about a busy week! None of this would’ve been possible without you all taking the time to test and give feedback. Over the next few weeks, we’ve got a bunch of big changes planned for our backend systems—starting with our caching. Right now, we cache a lot of data to keep HyperSpin running fast, but rebuilding that cache whenever something changes isn’t as speedy as we’d like. Thanks to your input, we’ve gone back to the drawing board and completely redesigned it! By the end of next …

Great news ... MAME Rom Mapping is working in Hyperspin 2.0 using RocketLauncher as the emulator.

First off, as a system dev/architect I am aware that what has been presented tonight is an enormous amount of work and I am grateful that work is being done to revamp HS again. This may be an unpopular opinion...but I think it is an incredibly HUGE mistake that Rlauncher support is absolutely no where in the new platform and HS functions as a standalone thing. I get that it is trying to serve simple users, but I think it's an oversighted design choice. It would be more intuitive to have Hyperspin be able to add Rlauncher as an emulator...query the systems in rlauncher and say 'hey, i see you have these systems already set up in rlauncher...let me import them into HS an…
