Cyrusnagisa Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 It has been a while since I have posted here, but I do lurk from time to time, still love hyperspin and setting up a new cab as I type......but I found this today, along with his site, not sure if it has been reported or not, but his video is.......wow... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCebvv-EJig and the site www.homearcadesystems.com if you guys have busted his ass already, cool, but I just wanted to check ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazzardActual Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 oh yeah, as you can see his comments are disabled. There were some pretty pissed off people here. Specifically one guy who just finished a batch of new HS intros and the next day that dickhead is advertising them like theyre his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazzardActual Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 THANK YOU! I will never have to use the hyperspin forums again. After 2 years of tinkering, our arcade cabinet is finally working like I imagined. Thank you soooooooo much! a customer testimony. I feel that this person was too stupid to figure this program out and spend a shit load of money on something from that asshat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiganderson Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 does anybody have this artwork from the video? ; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert_c Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 No one has busted him, but karma is a bitch. There will always be people like this. That's why it is best that all of us to pay it forward and freely help anyone that wants to get on with HyperSpin, HyperLaunch, Emulation, etc. does anybody have this artwork from the video? ......soon.

Styphelus Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 @Craiganderson You can find the tapes from the second image in zxspecticle's ftp folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styphelus Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 This guys charges $50.00 more for 2 additional emulators that apparently require an additional 1TB but you still only get 124 systems? Whoever this dude is, he needs to be shut down. Can we report him for copyright infringement or just drop an e-mail with the game and console makers directing them to his site?

Trnzaddict Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Lol all the time when we see pics/videos of people selling HS, we find artwork in these bastards setups that we can't find here and we ask "dude, where did he get that?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltoigael Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Oh yeah, that's the guy that stole all my intro's and prompted me to delete my FTP folder. Now and all future intro's I share with HS are now hosted on my blog in my signature. At least that way people know who are making them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrusnagisa Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 sad to see this is a known problem, and is still doing his thing -.- what makes it even worse is that he bashes the community pretty bad in his videos, and I know that this place is not that bad at all.

brucelee00 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'm sure there are a lot more people doing this that aren't as upfront as this guy... so naturally this doesn't come as a surprise. Even if people do report him and he gets shut down due to that or even if no one did, it would be just a matter of time the companies that actually own the rights to the games and original images etc... would shut him down. This kind of exposure is bad for everyone. Any who I enjoy all the creations made by everyone so a big Thanks! to those that take the time to create it.

pinsanity Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The theme or wheel images? Yeah, I can't find it either. Anyone who has the tape or disk art that is being used as the wheel for the Apple II system can you upload it to your folder. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith_Loving Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 To be honest shutting this guy down won't solve the problem. Where there is a market of buyers, some people will decide to sell pre-loaded hard drives. As of right now, there are more than a dozen places online where you can buy pre-loaded hard drives, that I know of. If you go after him, why not go after them all? Or we could just ignore them and not give them free advertisement to direct traffic to their sites. People will continue to buy from him and from the other places when the word spreads.

damageinc86 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 jeremy does have a good point. I still think it's a low-down move by that schmuck,...because the hyperspin guys really worked hard on all of this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THK Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 The way I see it, couldn't justify trying to shut down something like that. All of us know we have sitting on our computers hundreds, thousands and sometime tens of thousands of ROMs that we should not have. Wouldn't want karma coming back to get me. Well, mostly for systems/games that don't sell anymore. And don't count re-releases and re-re-re-releases, because c'mon, they either sell it too high for such an old game or shouldn't be selling it at all i.e. the copyright system should be limited more.

albert_c Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 This has been discussed before with guest commentary from the culprit himself (post #14). He is foolish to make himself so visible in all of this and more foolish in thinking the cheap legal advice he gained somehow protects from the endless legal resources of the IP owners like Sony, Sega, Apple, Nintendo, etc. Sooner or later, it will all come crashing down on him and we will all laugh. Until then, best we can do is make sure we freely help anyone that wishes to get going with HyperSpin and pay it forward to all the emulation teams, developers, and artists that make HyperSpin what it is.

urbangangsta101 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Takes artwork/videos and then bad mouths the community who made it. Tool. I watched a couple of his videos for lols.

SIMPLYAUSTIN Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 To be honest I dont get involved in other peoples troubles, what hes does is his bag but I understand the views of people whos work he has taken and gaining money for. The issue I have is how poor his setup is. I mean all as it is are the hyperspin hypersync download with some terribly custom made themes. The whole setup looks a jumbled dogs ass with zero extras. Its the people he charges I feel sorry for as they are getting ripped off. Hell, if someone wanted hyperspin that bad and had no time to make it, I would probably set one up for someone for a beer. Money for nuthin in that scam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean all as it is are the hyperspin hypersync download with some terribly custom made themes. The whole setup looks a jumbled dogs ass with zero extras. Its the people he charges I feel sorry for as they are getting ripped off. I met someone that bought one of his drives. All told, he spent close to $600 for the drive, shipping, updates, and "support. He stated in his video, the buyer is entitled to support, but once he got the money, sang a different tune. A $416 initial purchase went to closer to $600 in total spent. The drive itself is amateurishly put together: 32-bit versions of emulators, setup files litter the installation, the audio themes are deafening. You have no idea how accurate your statement is; the drive is an ass-poor product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
