Hi from sunny Western Australia

[CrazyCats]

Been on here for a little while now, thought it was time to say hi mates.

My first gaming machine was the NES, played on friend's Atari's before that. Owned pretty much every Nintendo console there was, then a PS2 and then onto PC gaming. Pinball and arcade gaming through my teenage years.

I have hyperspin and rocketlauncher installed and working.

I have slowly been building my system and rom library up.

Tip - I starting using a excel sheet to keep track of each system - database, theme, covers, vids, etc. as i would come back to this project after days or weeks and loose track of my progress.

Was manually downloading covers, vids, wheels, etc, very easy to loose track. Joined as a premium and thank you HyperSync downloading media is so much easier now.

Been using modified Fireball as hyperspin main menu theme and have used the template to make some of my own system themes. My Gimp 2 use needs to improve though, transparency gets me every time and I don't get the cleanest of edges on my pics.

Want to try and make my own secondary themes in a similar style to fireball main themes. Join the list of thing to do! 

A cabinet will be built when hyperspin is done and my trade back ground as a Fitter and Turner should make this simple enough. Then onto a pinball cab all in between real life stuff.

Welcome buddy! G'day from the other side. I am across living currently on the Gold Coast.

Its great seeing more Aussies becoming active here. This place needs a bit more flavour.

Hi Mate, let me know how you go with your cabs, i'm also in WA and happy to collaborate being a boilermaker by trade. I started putting my hyperspin together about 8 months ago and i'm still putting finishing touches on. Welcome down the rabbit hole.
