I'm an IT developer by trade so i'm very comfortable working with dozens of config files that must work in complete harmony for my software to work. I understand what hyperspin wants and how to get there, but I agree that it's WAY too involved for this type of hobby. People are learning so much to do this that they shouldn't require an IT degree to put the finishing touch on their CAB. How many threads start with OMG I have never used a router before! The amount of work that went into HS is phenomenal and I applaud the devs, but
downloading multiple config editors (HQ) is a little cumbersome. I get that they added those as a way to help out people who didn't want to modify .ini files but I hope if HS 2.0 ever comes out that they will have an all encompassing configuration utility and more detailed documentation aimed at the average user.
I have been spending a ton of time downloading movies and screenshots, making a custom theme, plus also making genre lists for the roms I have so that people won't have to scroll through 200 roms to get to Shinobi.
I think i'm going to officially label this guy complete. I don't plan to do any more woodworking or major tasks and my custom MA theme is finished and working. I still want to move the power inlet over to the other side and add some cooling in it's place, but those are enhancements and not required. I'll update the first post to signify this. I can't wait to post my next project and to see what everyone else comes up with
