No doubt hyperspin looks good though, I just prefer having more games than the "popular games" and as it's art library is very impressive, it still needs work for the "default" schemes IMO. I didn't like the text at all when it went to a game that didn't have a marquee (or whatever it is called).
If the "default" text looks better in the new version of hyperspin I'd love to see vids of the new version!
At the moment, I'm a big maximus arcade fan.

Honestly, the wheel images are almost complete... Many of the console systems have been completed and we are currently hovering around 70% complete with MAME wheel images. Pretty soon there will be no need at all for the text.

Yeah sorta true.. HS is great for mame, but once all systems get wheel art and box snaps it'll be a force to be reckoned with (More so than it already is). Nintendo with wheel art and box art and videos looks great! very nostalgic, and I do like how not every game system comes out on an arcade monitor

Hey Dazz thanks for the compliment... not really brother that's sarcasm. I don't think spacegoogies intentions were to steal anything from hyperspin, maybe he borrowed the flashing press start and joysticks. But I didn't put this post up for people like you to degrade it. Jason put alot of work into the theme and I don't understand why people like you feel they have to say some smart@$$ comment, instead of a compliment. HEH.
In my opinion, and I'm sure that must others on here feel the same, Hyperspin blows all other frontends out of the water in the looks department. Instead of jumping on spacegoogie's back for using certain ideas from hyperspin, you should be glad that someone would want maximus to have a cool look like hyperspin. I will probably use hyperspin myself in the future. No need for b.s. on this site. :cheers:

Yeah, I like the the theme. Currently I am exploring Hyperspin.. and it does take a lot of time to setup, but it looks great once it's setup. I think only the NES and MAME one's are at the point where they are finished (maybe gameboy advance too?). And by that I mean they have a image for each game and box art.
If Mameseer addressed some of the issues with installing specific systems and providing a nicer theme (come on, why can't each system have it's own theme?)...and not taking almost a year for an update. I hope a new Maximus is released soon, I'd like to see what they come up with in response to Hyperspin.
