OK, you can actually read the quicksearch drop-down options now. Hehe.

I'll see what I can do!

OK, the Downloads section is now about 99% organized. That went a lot faster than expected. Hurray! If you spot anything that's not where it ought to be, please let us know. Thanks for your patience!

The Upload Here section is finally back to 0 items! On to the rest of the Downloads section. You've probably already noticed significant changes and additions to it - many more to come!

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I can't wait for y'all to see what the (near) future holds!

As I'm tidying up, I'm noticing that many content creators aren't including platform info and aspect ratio with their creations. Please make sure you state what platform(s) the upload is for and what screen format it's for. Having to look up the platform info slows down the process and having to guess at the aspect ratio could cause the files to end up somewhere other than where they're intended to be. Thanks for all you do, everyone!

You might've noticed today that things are starting to find their way from Upload Here into their proper places. That's because I've started picking away at it. At the rate I'm going, it should be more or less complete in about a month or two. I also plan on reviewing every subsection for misplaced items, and I'll be putting those where they belong as well. Please be patient, as I'm doing this a bit each weekday as I have free time. It's a process. We're getting there!

I have Dell/Harman-Kardon 2.1 computer speaker setups in all 3 of my cabinets. They sound very close to the original equipment (thanks to their bass and treble controls), and they were all stupid-cheap garage sale finds. I don't have $20 USD in all 3 together. Gotta love that.

I imagine development for both will continue on, but underground. It's not like the judgment will stop either one from being available, anyway.

Probably because a port of it is on the Switch, I'd guess. It's not an official port, though.

The end of emulation for current systems, maybe. I've always felt that current-system emulator developers are a little suicidal. I admire their work, but holy jeez, they court disaster.

You can use HyperHQ to create as many different wheels as you want, and then use a different XML for each.

That section is down at the moment. It'll be back when the Downloads section returns. Thanks for your patience.

Speaking from personal experience... it's a deep, deep rabbit hole you're headed down. Hehe. It certainly can be done - depending on how complete you're thinking - but no "all in one" package you find is going to be totally satisfying. Everyone has different wants and needs, and wherever you start, there will be a lot of work involved to tailor it to your liking. That's not to discourage you at all. Just saying... prepare yourself. You're in this for the long haul. (And that's not a bad thing!) <eyeballs his twin 12TB internal hard drives - and multiple USB hard drives - and sighs with happiness>

From what I recall, the site it was originally on was taken down before they could complete it. They had nothing to do with us, and that was quite awhile ago, though. Once the files return here, you'll be able to get far more than was ever included in that project.

You just remove sxs.dll from the HyperSpin folder to run 1.5.1 on Windows 7.

HyperSpin 1.5.1 is what you seek. If you're running Windows 10, you'll need to put this dll in the HyperSpin folder as well.

I came up with a cool way to make HyperSpin in my Gauntlet Legends cabinet behave like the other 2 cabinets in my game room, Cruis'n World and Mortal Kombat II. Since this cabinet has a variety of classic arcade games that have different monitor orientations, I'm using a theme for each game. My Pure theme won't work without stretching all the vertical games and making them look ugly in attract mode. My solution was to relocate the wheel to the center of the screen and enlarge the wheel images so they fill the screen nicely. In attract mode, it displays and spins horizontally like the other 2 cabinets, fading to the game theme when the spin stops. The purple background is from the Gauntlet Legends theme, tying it all together. I also removed the game description text, so HyperSpin displays only the game theme. It's a really clean look on the CRT.

I'll throw another app recommendation in as well. I use ReNamer (Lite) for all sorts of things related to this. It's a life-saver, and incredibly versatile. You can grab it for free at http://www.den4b.com/

I plan to revisit Xenia after I get everything fully configured that's on the cabinet now. Same with Xemu and RPCS3. I do have Forza Horizon 4 and 5 on it already, and they play fantastic - and look killer on the CRT too!

You should be able to find up-to-date modules for every system on the rlauncher.com forum. You'll probably need to use the Search function there to do it, though.

I had some free time today, so I updated the default theme on my Cruis'n World cabinet to match the one I'm using in my Mortal Kombat II cabinet. Having the wheels spin horizontally at the top and then stay visible on-screen while the preview video plays really completes the look and ties everything together nicely. I opted for a darkened checkered flag background to be displayed during attract mode and when scrolling through the collection. I really like it. I've included the theme and MAME.ini for anyone that wants this look in their setup. Enjoy! Default.zip MAME.ini

Just temporarily. I know it's frustrating, but the guys are working hard to get things squared away for the community. Lots of stuff is happening. Stay tuned!

Hahaha! It is indeed a trampoline! There's also a bike and a treadmill in there too. Our house began life as an oversized garage workshop with an apartment above it, and the garage's unusually high ceiling provides plenty of room for activities. We're eventually going to finish the back third of it into a proper game room, but for now it's wide open for maximum fun.

Vinyls are on! Just the control panel overlay to do. I discovered the panel I have is homemade and doesn't match the stick and button holes, so I have a new one ordered. In the meantime, I'm getting the hardware end of things squared away. Next up - decasing the 25" Samsung CRT TV I acquired for the project and mounting it in the cabinet!
