This thing would be full speed ahead if they didnt try and lock it down. Yes, but that's why beta testers are upset. Take a moment to think about how most people used HyperSpin 1.5. It was used to display themes/media according to user defined databases and pass game launching on to Rocketlauncher. Yes, it could do a bit more than that but for most users that was the extent of it. I understand they want to eliminate Rocketlauncher, that's not an issue. It's reasonable to expect (even during beta testing) that the most basic function of any software bearing the name "HyperSpin" would correctly display themes/media. Specifically in the HyperSpin menu first and foremost. Any expanded functionality is a bonus but should not be focused on until the primary feature of HyperSpin works. It's a spinning wheel that displays themes, videos, and logos. Can we get that working first? 1

Calm down....... Have you tried Launchbox, they have alot of bits there?
Asparky Posted Monday at 07:51 AM Posted Monday at 07:51 AM I've used all the front ends out there, since the 2000;s, starting with MameWah, GameEx, Etc. Hyperspin, was the easiest to setup, but now, Hyperspin 2.0, is a flaming mess, its trying to be something it cannot be. Trying to be a Clone of another isnt really the way to go, what users want, is just Hyperspin 1.5 to be updated, with some new Features. Also, the links for Pain Relief and Weight Loss are still there, if you require them.......... 1 2

You can still have your themes etc... but now theyre stored on your account.. on their server... if you want others to get them... make them public. RL is still supported. They supported it out of the gate. Theyre not eliminating it. It's a spinning wheel that displays themes, videos, and logos. <---- This is what I just said... its the caching system messing everything up. Storing the cache on the C drive etc... Ive added every single wheel they offer... I know what works and what doesnt... and its ONLY specific wheels that have problems.... THere are a lot of them....ITS ALL MEDIA RELATED... Everything else works pretty well.... hopefully in the next update they adderss things. Theres also the grey screen that im getting now... same as the other screen where you would get the white dot in the center cause things ran out of ram.... So they obviously recycled the same code... Theres other problems too.... I dont think anything actually gets refreshed when clearing cache.... Ive checked all the files on C while doing it..... and nothing gets deleted.. no file size changes.. nothing. Its a bit weird.
floatingyeti Posted yesterday at 05:28 PM Posted yesterday at 05:28 PM @rik81 I was agreeing with you not making a counterpoint. I've also used Rocketlauncher with HS 2.0 but it felt more like a workaround than something supported.
