To make it clear right away, I have not found or written a Pippin emulator out of the blue. To my knowledge, the Pippin system remains largely unemulated.
I have been able to create this setup because most of the Pippin library of games was compatible or had a version for Mac PPC's.
So I have been able to use the Emulator Sheepshaver which works quite well with those games. That means that, despite the Pippin opening splash screen and sound, it doesn't really acts like a Pippin console as it starts in a Mac OS environment and we have to use a mouse to browse through folders and start games (and sometimes browse through multiple folders).
Talking about games, they are mostly kiddie FMV stuff, a lot of them from Bandai, interactive videos or educational. Only a few games stand out but the keyboard and mouse controls are not always great compared to today's standards. 
So why bother ? 
The Pippin ended up an abject failure but is still an important part of the videogames history as it was the first and only attempt from Apple to make a gaming device. It had a very limited success in the US and fared just a little better in Japan, thanks to Bandai's lineup of games for the young ones.
Back then, Apple probably thought that the CD player and FMV capability, and their name, would be enough to appeal to everybody but obviously it was not (same happened to the CDTV and many other CD based consoles of course).
 
The setup is prepared for what we have to call Hyperspin 1 now. I don't know about a Sheepshaver module for Rocketlauncher so I have used the capabilities of PCLauncher and each games are launched via .bat files (Instructions in the downloads). 
I have included a Pippin.txt file with all the lines you have to copy/paste to your own PCLauncher.ini. If you don't do that, you will have to point out each games manually in the PCLauncher settings in Rocketlauncher.
I don't know about the compatibility with HS2. It can probably launch bat files too but I have not tried myself.
I had this system unfinished for a long time and Floatingyeti helped and motivated me to finish it.
Floatingyeti also created the main and default themes (and a beautiful pointer) and was generally a great help to refine my project.
The boxes have been created from a standard cd case and real covers and cd images from a template.
Hope you will enjoy it.
 

PIPPIN main.mp4 Pippin Default.mp4

Wheels for the Enterprise created by floatingyeti and me (and a few already existing ones).
You can find the whole setup here: 
 

Standardized cassettes for the Enterprise setup. Thanks to floatingyeti for providing the template. 
There are two sets in the zip file: One with squeezed images, so they fit correctly for a 16:9 screen and one with original sized images.
The complete setup can be found here: 
 

Full set of cassettes cases for the setup we have created with Floatingyeti for those who only want the artworks. 
Some of them were already existing, so credits goes to whoever created them. I had to create around half of them from covers or screenshots.
You can find the complete setup here: 
 

Here are 226 themes for MAME, built from their parent themes.
I just modified them using the wheels created by Floatingyeti in his monthly updates to replace the titles and slightly reworked the animations or, sometimes the background or other things. Nothing fancy but it gives a different feel to these clone themes instead of using the exact same parent one.
That brings the number of missing themes down to 180
see the project here:
 

We have never been closer to completion (...that is until the next MAME update) !So once again I can only encourage everybody who would like to contribute, even newcomers or people who would like to start creating themes, to join us in trying to create the best set of themes possible for the MAME setup created by Floatingyeti.
The remaining missing themes are not the easiest to create because of the lack of graphic materials available but that's also an opportunity to express a lot of imagination and creativity. The missing list of themes is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14WPJcUc8Y9wwU6a54onfEOPuSqsF45UJztxGyy3AjEk/edit?gid=0#gid=0
Finally, here is the list of themes contained in the zip files.
Credits and congratulations goes to all the themes creators who have done such a great and unique job along the years !
Most of the themes are in 4:3 format and a few in 16:9

A Bubble Bobble based roulette game

I was unable to find any pictures of this game which seems mostly forgotten.

A very interesting arcade prototype for this well known console game.

another newly supported game.

Just a slight modification from the original.

Hyperspin is back and so are the MAME updates from floatinyeti !! 
To keep in sync I have updated the missing list of themes from his database here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14WPJcUc8Y9wwU6a54onfEOPuSqsF45UJztxGyy3AjEk/edit#gid=0
I have also a few themes to propose like this clone of atari Football from Shoei in Japan.
As always a big thank you to all the contributors and for the new members who would like to propose their creations, you are more than welcome !! The goal is still to reach 100% themes for the floatin database. 

A last galaxian bootleg. I recycled some elements.
Credits to nonnets (I think) for the beautiful animated background.

A clone of galaxian.
My first attempt at creating animations in swf.
Quite a struggle but I learned a lot...especially the limitations of hyperspin when it comes to play flash files (runs too fast, doesn't display the transparencies correctly).

Anyway, I choose to post it whatsoever.

2023-07-01 20-00-52.mp4

Another galaxian clone...and more to come !

A cinematic theme for this Konami Mario game.
I started from an animation made by Pixiel which I edited heavily. 
Zip file ---> media/MAME/Themes
mp4 file ---> media/MAME/Videos
Hope you like it !
mariorou.mp4

A bootleg of a Japanese Data East game, Kyohkoh-Toppa.
to jesfknkrys, sorry, I created this theme before I noticed you were working on it as well. You can surely propose your version as well, it will surely improve on mine !

I found out too late that a theme already exists for this game.
I want to propose it anyway, so here is my own take on Crazy Fight.

crazyfgt.mp4

A cinematic theme so, as always, you must download both the zip file and the video.
chocovdr_Sf9nMkTh.mp4

An arcade popcorn machine !? 

Based on the original theme of Penguin Brothers (ablast is a clone).

Here is a theme for Gamshara requested by Edy00116.
I'm pretty sure someone will be able to improve on that. I was unable to find quality artworks for this game, maybe I don't know where to search but I wanted to answer quickly because it may be the first Namco System 10 game theme, which is now supported by the latest version of MAME and it is a moment to celebrate.
Floatingyeti will release his media update when he will be ready and there will be a bunch of other system 10 themes to create both for a Mame setup or for a future Namco system 10 standalone wheel.
As always contributors, veteran creators or beginners, are more than welcome to help !!

A last one for today. 
Remember that all the missing themes and media posted this month will also be available in the upcoming MAME 0.254 update pack from Floatingyeti

So to illustrate the game Fail Gate I have used the picture of a ...failed gate. yes I know, I have succumbed to a lack of artwork available and a lack of imagination 🙃

Based on the original moon cresta theme (Fantazia is a bootleg clone).
 
PS: Once again the video and the name of the game are not the right ones on the screencap because I haven't updated my Mame setup yet but it will show the good ones on your up to date setup 😉
