'ello Hyperspin Forums!

 

I'm BurritoBeans, another dude who's into gaming stuff and has an interest in arcades and arcade emulation. I like to collect video games a lot - you can find me on some other places like AtariAge - and while consoles and computers are cool, arcade stuff has always seemed like a ton of fun but I don't want to pay the money and find the space in my place to fit a variety of machines. So, one project that I have going on with other people in my family is to make a multi-arcade machine that we can just have everything on and play whenever. Yes I have some real hardware that - I've managed to get my hands on a Splatterhosue and Neo Geo MVS boards, a fairly alright supergun, and a Pandora's Box 4 that we bought recently - but those don't cover everything so a MAME machine seemed like something else to consider. My whole issue with MAME is the user interface and frontend, it's kinda a bit of a pain to use and I wish I had something I could customize more and work with. After digging around a bit and playing with some other stuff, I read about Hyperspin and it seems like one of my better options being that I'm thinking of stuffing a fairly powerful yet small Gigabyte BRIX PC in to handle emulation, and from seeing videos it does look pretty nice. So yeah, I figured I'd sign up on here, give the thing itself a try on my computer to see how I like it, and try and be around in the community a bit - that's pretty much it for me.
