I may give it a try (again I think?) Can you configure it to do things like "show horizontal games but no vector games", "show vertical games, but not vector games", "show vector games only"? I like to have a single favorites list that I use on multiple machines configured appropriately for that machines cababilities. Thanks!

i've never bothered with front ends before but currently evaluating them since there is no easy way to load the games in a cabinet. this hyper spin sound good but it's site download section requires you to sign up for their forum? or is there another place? i dont care how good it is im not signing up for their forum just to download it.. every one wants you to sign up for something on their web site these days, it's lame. |

It's also lame to moan about a 30 second forum signup, when a bunch of people have spent countless hours writing some really great software and are giving it away for FREE. |
| Beretta:
if every one did that just so they could download it they'ed end up with 100's or 1000's of 0 post users, does this make any sense at all? having im guessing less then 10% of the forum accounts active is kinda a waste.. but i suppose looking at the number of total accounts gives a warm a fuzzy feeling ::) |
