Good luck with that !!!

With no easy way to add art to new systems what's the point? In addition HS1 isn't even supported anymore so it's just a matter of time until something in Windows breaks it again. When HS2 has all the themes and can download all the art quickly what will be the point of HS1 running on deprecated Flash themes. I'd love to know...

Hyperspin has not been updated for a decade, yet still works perfectly.

You have obviously never used it or you wouldn't be asking.

They have been saying it's dead for years, yet still it is the best Frontend out there.

If you want to use Hyperspin 2.0 then go for it, but if you ask anyone in here what's the best, 99% will say Hyperspin 1.5

I've been using it for years and had everything going since 2018, I mean you could probably click on my profile before posting a silly comment?  Until this stupid Windows update crap and Hyper-Sync being non existent it worked fine for me. No one is bagging on original HS but has started to die now that it's not being supported and being blocked by Windows.

I ended up fixing the Windows update problem but here's nothing I can do about not being able to add art easily in Hyperspin 1.5.  I'm not going to stick themes in folders 1 by 1. Hyper-Sync is dead...

You really shouldn't concern yourself with what anyone else does or chooses. I see you're a little annoyed on the subject of people migrating to Hyperspin 2 since you commented on it so I'll leave it at that.

I am only annoyed because it's trash.

If you want a working Hyperspin 2.0 use Launchbox, because that's all it is ever going to be.

Launchbox has a 8 year head start on Hyperspin 2.0 and has literally everything you could ever want built into it ...

Trouble is, it's still useless because it runs like a one legged horse (I should know, I have it all setup with 250,000 games on it.

Hyperspin on the other hand runs as smooth as silk (in conjunction with RocketLauncher) and that's why it will NEVER be surpassed.

Enjoy Hyperspin 2.0 ... in about 5 years when they finally get it working.

Also, you do know you can use EmuMovies on your desktop to download all media per system ?

There has been no need for HyperSync for years.

Only things you can't get are themes, but they are all on these forums anyway.
