However….8000+ roms including all of the clones and umpteen Mah-jong games are really not required on this particluar cabinet so it’s time to crack open some software apps to trim down 26gb of roms into something more manageable.

Maybe if I upgrade the PC, I’ll look at HyperSpin again, but for now I think I’ll stick with something a little lighter on the senses.Īlso, I’ve since changed my mind on the number of rom images to include too as more often than not, having all often brings a hidden gem to light. Of course you do have the option to turn the sounds off. The noise from all those sound effects playing out at you navigate through the game list was too much for me too. Secondly, yes it looks and sounds nice but after awhile all that gloss seems to just get in the way when all you just need to quickly zip through to the game you want and off you go. Swapping out the movies for screenshots helped somewhat, but with a larger rom list, the lag was back 😦 However, even running as a low resolution, the lag was too much for me. Hyperspin has a setup utility that can tailor the amount of graphics options to suit your requirements (as well as quality) which goes some way to speed things up. I tried it on my laptop (Intel Core I3 /4gb laptop and even though it has a crummy integrated video Hyperspin runs silky smooth. Just scrolling though a list of games could often be a pain. Having a half descent graphics card make no difference with Hyperspin and therefore my low spec P4 and 2Gb just wasn’t cutting it. Even with small list of games and a small number of themes, it’s was beginning to suffer and was very laggy overall. flv format (soon to change I hear) thus it benefits from a fast processor and lots of RAM. At the last count, this came to about 126 game titles and so not a huge amount of time to sit at the Hyperspin download area.Īs I began to installing and my collection of themes, artwork, movies and sounds began to grow, a couple of things became apparent.įirstly, Hyperspin mainly uses Adobe Flash and runs movies in.

Initially the thought of getting all of those files individually didn’t really put me off because I wasn’t going to be running a full mame rom set in my arcade machine, just a select few of my favourite arcade games. Of course, to get it set up properly, you’re going to have to invest in some serious time to if you intend to source and download each file individually. There are collections out there that contain all of the files in one go but you’re looking at downloads of anywhere between 45gb to 95gb – Yup that’s gigabytes, not megabytes :-O I’ve been messing around with Hyperspin for a few days and it certainly ramps up the eye candy to ‘number 11’ by adding animated menus, transitional animations, system and game specific themes, arcade sounds and gameplay videos. I was going to break from my norm of using either MameWah or Mala and try the incredibly gorgeous looking Hyperspin. With that done, it on to the emulator front end. WinXP – SP2…I did consider Windows 2000 originally as I want this thing to boot as quickly as possible but XP seems fine as is.įurther modification ais required to provide power (via the spare 4-pin molex) to other parts of the cabinet but for now, a basic setup will suffice. Emulators like Zinc, Mojnir, Daphne, Nebulas, and AAE (with a bit of tweaking).

It’s a basic PC and nothing fancy but it’ll play Mame games perfectly well including a few other dedicated arcade emulators that need a bit more oomph to run. During the evenings this week I’ve been building a PC for my Mame Arcade cabinet with a view to sorting out the Mame front end for it today.
