Raccoon Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Has anyone here heard of preinstalled HDD with Hyperspin and lots of emulators and games? I saw an ad somewhere, but is that really legal? I mean MAME is not supposed to be sold, some of the roms must still have copyright? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyer6 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Definitely not legal. I wouldn't support this anyway. Better learn it to do it yourself. in the end, you'll have issues with the "ready made" harddrive and you wont be able to fix it. :-/ because you just bought everything.

gigapig Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 You'll have no idea if it works, and when aspects of it don't work properly, you'll get no support from the seller. That situation then leads you to the forum where most of us frown upon people who sell Hyperspin. We offer support for free, but we don't get paid by the seller for doing their customer support. It's also impossible to offer support to something put together by someone else, the best thing and most rewarding thing to do is learn how to setup Hyperspin yourself.

Raccoon Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Yes I know it´s better to do it by your self, I´m struggling but learning more every time I try to install a new system and I don´t think I want anymore than about 10 systems. There is one old Swedish computer I´m hoping to get help with, maybe it won´t work at all but I have asked about help in another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapig Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I saw your other thread, I assume you've not had much success getting MESS to run that system? If I find some Roms I may have a go at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raccoon Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 As I said - I´m struggling on every system and haven´t even tried to run it in MESS as I don´t know how to do that. I have a fem "roms" if you can call it that and some disk images. Give me a few minutes and I will put what I have in my FTP folder. If you start Abc80.exe choose Settings and add a diskimage and then type "run lib" without quotes you will get a menu, type D and 0 you will see what´s on the disk. To start a program type "run programname" The problem for non Swedish people is that almost every program is written in Swedish. If things don´t work you might have to switch to capital letters. Edit: just realized that maybe you will not run Abc80.exe but MESS instaed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raccoon Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Ok, I have now uploaded what I have to my folder on the FTP. The .rar file has a few diskimages (.dsk) and som games (.bac or .bas) Maybe you will also need det "data" folder which contains system roms, I don´t know which ones to use, there are roms for both ABC80 and ABC800 and the .bin and .snd are not marked for which computer that uses it.

Raccoon Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 I have searched some and found alot more "roms" than I thought existed, there seems to be about 50-60 games for this old computer, maybe more. Not so interesting or understandable for other than Swedish people, but as most of the games are in simple BASIC it would be quite easy to translate to english.
