Just create a default theme for each of the various wheels you have and you will be golden.

As for the artwork you can import files from photoshop.  See the following.

Thanks DrNick.  I had not realized you could import directly from PS and use it's layers.  That is really awesome!

I don't have photoshop, I have photopaint. I just create what I want and then export it over in a .png format. If you want to create individual themes you can create a background and then you have space for up to four artwork images. (Those images can be Flash animations too) Then you can use Hyper Theme to animate however you wish. Very cool, very easy to do.

Yes, that is how I originally intended to handle the different elements in the theme.  But now, knowing that I can take things straight out of Photoshop, I can use the existing work file with little to no modifications.  Very cool

I love Hyperspin, but have had problems recently.  I had two Ultrastik 360s that made Hyperspin choke - it took a really long time and testing/research to figure that out.  I swapped them out for standard microswitch joysticks and Hyperspin was smooth again.  Recently, I hooked up an AimTrak lightgun.  It seems (based on extensive testing with and without Hyperspin) Hyperspin causes the AimTrak to be "unrecognized" after some usage in particular games.  Sometimes when I disconnect and reconnect it from the USB port, it works.  Sometimes, I have to shut down and restart - then disconnect and reconnect the AimTrak.  When I use the AimTrak in straight up mame32, it works without any issue.  I considered moving to Mala because I really want the lightgun to work.  I have a "decent-enough" system running an Intel Core2Duo E7500, 4GB Corsair PC6400, Ggigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L Motherboard, and an EVGA 256MB GeForce 8600GTS videocard, OCZ Vertex 2 60GB SSD boot drive and a mechanical storage drive to house the emulators.  http://www.notrica.com/arcade.

Should I stick with Hyperspin and troubleshoot the AimTrak more or move to Mala?  Based on this thread, there are a lot of Mala fans.

Any thoughts or guidance would be very much appreciated.
