Scraping

Emulation station looks kind of cool. Probably no way to get hyperspin to scrap is there? Maybe hyper launch could somehow

Does hyperlaunch work with emulationstation?

This looks really good.

Update: Having looked further into it, it does seem to have very limited functionality and customization. But what they have done so far looks good.

Couldn't agree more, it's the scrapping that we are missing! If it only had that. Hyperlaunch is sort of the back end. Is there and app that could lay on top of hyperspin? Sort of like how we have hyperspeech or hypersearch? Boy would it be cool if there were an app of some kind that could launch with hyperspin and it "know" what game you were looking at

I agree it's bare bones but the scraping is impressive. Apparently that front end use this scrapper. Maybe someone here much smarter than I will know how to launch and utilize

Where does it scrape from?

I'm guessing it gets the info from thegamesdb.net. The Rom Collection Browser addon in Kodi (XBMC) uses the same site, I do believe.
