You can't make an AVI spin in like in our new Atari 5200 theme. This is because HyperSpin can add animated effects to video and AVI can't support what HyperSpin does to the videos.

Every single graphical piece in HyperSpin can be customized.Īs far as no AVI support in HyperSpin. HyperSpin is so customizable you could easily make HyperSpin look like Maximus, Mala or almost anything out there if you wanted. Once you understand the file structure of HyperSpin you can make it do whatever you want. How long did it take you to setup your current frontend? HyperSpin doesn't take any longer, but there is a little bit of a learning curve. People knocking HyperSpin because of the setup required. If you use No-Intro rom sets and keep your roms updated then you'll have NO PROBLEM at all with setting up roms in HS. Even today I still knock HyperSpin because of how we handle game lists, but things are getting better. However, after learning how HyperSpin worked I find it just as easy to setup with the exception of rom/game lists. If I actually used my Maximus install then I'd probably use a theme like that. Honestly, I used Maximus for a LONG time and I still have it on my cabinet. I just find it funny trying to get other front ends to look HyperSpin'ish. I personally don't have an issue with that. I was just making a comment about the use of the HyperSpin graphics. I'm not degrading your Maximus theme at all. I am thinking of using the xbox 360 controllers for console games so I am glad they are fixing the compatibility issues. that seems wrong for some reason.so so wrong, but so good at the same time. Maybe i'll add maximus arcade on the Hyperspin Wheel and Hyperspin on the Maximus FE so I don't have to choose. Overall I love what Hyperspin does for mame and the NES looks great as well! I can't wait to see what they due for the console systems in terms of themes and genre lists. I know I will buy it when I can because I want to support the project, but if I was just looking at is as a product it seems overpriced (so you may push away those who just see hyperspin as a product). I'm not sure if the 20 (or was it 25) for the transitions is a good price point though. I think $30 would be a fair price for this. In this way you still provide the program for free, but then you have this other option that helps bring more income to the project. You can get the free one that takes a bunch of time to setup, or buy one that has all the latest media folders (and an auto update option to download the updates to the media folder with updates to sets). Hell, I think that would be a good idea to sell a preconfigured hyperspin. Then all you would have to add are the vids and bam. That way you could just download that one folder and it woudl have the most up to date wheel sets, themes, etc. I think it would be great if they had a preset up media folder of the complete sets on the hyperspin ftp.
