not much to report. Devs have released a new private beta to the team to test, but have been reported several bugs, preventing the public release of this particular installment. once its been ironed out enough , you will be able to test the public release of this version. Im seeing a lot of really cool features being added, but i cant reveal the specifics, because they are the ones that are entitled to unveil them. Just believe me when i say that quite a few of the requested features ive read in the forum, are popping up, plus a ton of extras! Ive been keeping busy with artwork projects, most of which are just creations i made to place on my personal setup…

No themes show... at all... Not even the Hyperspin default one. I added 4 systems for testing. MAME - Cause its a staple Sega Genesis - Good Console Choice Mugen - For a PC like add Nintendo Wii U Ware - Custom System The wheel media if you import your own seems to work though. I'm assuming the rest will work... like the videos... once the themes start working as then youll have something to display. I also cant seem to assign the Mugen theme to Mugen... Or any of the system themes. Also on every emulator... I got these errors coming up.... I dont want to run these at all.... How would you disable them? These arent needed... I unders…

I feel like I've seen mentions, but want to ask this more cleanly. 1) Is there going to be (or plans to add) a simpler way to port over the existing HS setup (ex; roms list, media, etc.), into 2.0 in a simpler, less manual fashion? Ex; we all have a ROMs folder, full of everything. Rather than 1 by 1 add, can they be added in bulk? One click/script, use labeling based on the name of the folder? Or something like, an export from RL, that copies information needed into the 2.0 needed format? Or something of the nature of a bulk select of systems (checkbox/list?), and pointing to the main folder in which they are all located. 2) LEDBlinkey has been a challenge to u…

Hey all, I just tried to use the MAME setup wizard for Hyperspin 2. It got all the way to 96% and got stuck. I am currently using a merged ROM set with .chd files in the same folder. It is quite large so could take a while. Do you you guys think it is getting stuck due to beta release or my romset? Romset verified via dat file. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hey, all- I haven't been on the site for years, but I just got a new computer and I tried running Hyperspin to no avail. Where are all of the download links for the newest versions of Hyperspin? It has never been easy to find simple things like that on this website. There should be a "downloads" button on the home page, but I digress. Please direct me to the downloads for the newest version. I am not even sure where I can download the beta, and I am pretty sure that I am a platinum member too. Thank you.

I had hyperspin 2.0 installed on an external F drive but now i removed that drive from my pc and tried to reinstall hyperspin, but all my media is of course gone. hyperHQ still shows all the games there with blank boxes and i tried to delete them but it just keeps going and going, is there a way just to start completely fresh? it seems to be pulling the data from my linked account.

Hey all, I hope all is well with everyone. I am a platinum member who has been using HS front end since 2008. My arcade is still running strong but I wanted to do some upgrades. I have grown tired of waiting for about 30 seconds for a game to boot on initial launch and the slight controller input lag had me frustrated at times. So I decided to build a computer that will run off a NVME hard drive for faster speed. When I decided to start building a new HS front-end from scratch I was kinda exited to hear about HS2. So I downloaded to beta and started to work. It is just a dedicated MAME machine with no other systems. Well I found the latest MAME and created a p…

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…

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…
