daggerlee Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago Hey all, I hope all is well with everyone. I am a platinum member who has been using HS front end since 2008. My arcade is still running strong but I wanted to do some upgrades. I have grown tired of waiting for about 30 seconds for a game to boot on initial launch and the slight controller input lag had me frustrated at times. So I decided to build a computer that will run off a NVME hard drive for faster speed. When I decided to start building a new HS front-end from scratch I was kinda exited to hear about HS2. So I downloaded to beta and started to work. It is just a dedicated MAME machine with no other systems. Well I found the latest MAME and created a path in HSHQ and I thought I created a path for my roms. Well I can run the games when running MAME on its own but this new version sees the games but they wont play. The list of 700 games that I think I installed on my HSHQ is there. I am not sure if I should do this being only a beta version. Is there a tutorial on how to put this new version of HS together or am I wasting my time?
Asparky Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago DONT UpGrade.......... It is still in Beta and doesnt work correctly. All they seem to be Developing at the present time, is the Theme Builder, to the Detriment to the rest of the Programme. And at the end of the Day, it looks like it will be Clone of another front End that people are talking about.........

My HS2 runs alongside HS1 on my cab and I test new builds when they are available. If you want to test it aswell then great but if you are looking for something that works now then a beta is not for you.
