X-Arcade + Hyperspin: Seamless Combination

HyperSpin is an animated arcade frontend for Windows for use on Home Arcade Machines. HyperSpin allows you to create custom menu systems to run most executables with that arcade look and feel. HyperSpin takes a more artwork oriented approach to creating menu's. With this tool you should be able to make interesting menu's for your games, movies etc. Simply put, HyperSpin is likely the best looking emulation front-end ever devised, and makes emulation setup easier.
We have made getting HyperSpin up and running easy if you follow this simple guide, but if you use other directories or versions of MAME than those told here we can not help you.

Easy HyperSpin setup for MAME:

  1. Download and install MAME™ as instructed.
  2. Download HyperSpin (registration required), install it to the default location. You can also get the Hyperspin Torrent Here
  3. Download modified ini files (it is a self-extracting executable), click Unzip and it will overwrite the originals.

You can enable Trackball/Spinner/Mouse support simply by enabling them on the trackball and spinner tabs. The threshold slider simply sets the amount you have to spin your trackball/spinner before you see actual wheel movement in the menu.
