The amount and quality of those cabs and pins is pretty great. If they go out of business I'll buy a couple.

It's a cool idea. Much like the "pay to get in" arcades you used to find, but with the benefit of having tons of games through emulation. Problem is will an arcade work as a business these days?

Is this a legit place?  If so, they're begging to be shut down.  It looks amazing and I'd love to go there (and grab one of those hyperpin cabs!!) but it's absolutely illegal.

hah yeah, looks amazing!  crazy to have all those cabs though, I am not sure what the law is wherever that is but I think it would be on the shady side, but would have to have one uptight copper to investigate it hehehe

If they aren't charging to actually play the games, just charging them to be on the premises then they probably aren't breaking any law. Well other than having a bunch of emulated games, but who's going to go after them for that if they aren't actually charging people to play them?

How bizarre. From the name, I was expecting it to be a Sherlock Holmes themed arcade.

Also, 4:3 themes stretched to 16:9 = FAIL.

I spose it would have been easy to make lots at once and even have saved money getting everything in bulk.  I wish I could have this in my garage

How can they avoid it when almost every theme we have is only available in 4:3?

Everybody is probably using mostly stretched 4:3 themes. Hypersync doesn't even have a 16:9 option...

Only 4:3 themes I use are the game themes in MAME as I have no option and I kinda like em   All my other themes are 16:9 along with all my art.

Likewise, and I have everything displayed at the correct aspect ratio with no stretching by having separate installs of HyperSpin for 4:3 and 16:9.

You have 16:9 game themes for Model 2, 3, Naomi, atomiswave, Daphne, DICE, AAE etc...?

If so I'd like to get them from you to take a look (so long as they don't have any cart art in them). Just arcade systems though... I'm not interested in any console themes as I deleted all my console wheels and roms.

Where did you get 16:9 themes for every single game/system at?

[Agrajag]

I run HS in 4:3 for all arcade systems and in 16:9 for home systems using the Unified Mega Theme.

I added this to my previous post:

Interesting.

So you're using a single 16:9 monitor then? I still don't see how you're running your arcade systems in 4:3 without stretching the themes on a 16:9 monitor. Unless you're letterboxing your game themes? I'll take a look at your link. Thanks.

[Trnzaddict]

You guys really think that whoever goes there is going to notice 4:3 themes stretched to 16:9?? Whoever goes there is going to be in awe most likely as they will be people who have no knowledge of how to even play emulators on the PC in the first place.

[Agrajag]

Lol, you're probably right!

@Metalzoic - yes, it can all be done on the same monitor or TV, with HS windowed at 1440x1080 for arcade themes and 1920x1080 for everything else.
