Hopefully V2 will have something for everyone

I'm not a computer guru by any stretch and didn't know anything about even using photopaint. But it's really, really easy to customize.
They give you a million soundeffects for when the wheel changes. I found it to be a little busy so I eliminated all but one. Now when the wheel switches to a different theme I get the guantlet 'gong' when you add in a quarter. Really nice and professional and it took me all of about 5 minutes to go through the sounds and pick which one I wanted.
Creating themes is really easy to do to. In my spare time I've created 5 or 6 that have been posted over there as well. It's an awesome front end.

I absolutely LOVE HyperSpin. In fact it is the only reason I got back into my arcade rig. I used mamewah back in the day, and it worked, but it was way too plane IMO. I went from never having seen HS to setting up multiple systems and changing themes in about a week. I don't see what is so difficult about it really. Their forums are FULL of information, and with a modest donation, you have access to all kinds of themes/art on the FTP.
--- Quote ---It strikes me as a very powerful front end. But as it stands, it has been designed to be as outlandish and in-your-face garish as possible by default. I lack the talent and motivation to skin it myself, but I think these are things that the Hyperskin team ought to think about. Hyperspin appears to be designed to appeal to adolescent boys.

Man I am pushing 40 and it still appeals to me! :D I mean I think the outlandish and in-your-face garish design is exactly what a lot of people expect out of an arcade machine... Stand in the middle of an 80's arcade and you get what I mean. For me, that is the exact experience I want to create in my game room/bar. It all comes down to personal preference.... In the words of the not so famous anywhere else but New Orleans Howard Lee "Hokie" Gajan... "I guess that's why they make chocolate AND vanilla"
HS FTW!!! :notworthy:

I would love to use hyperspin....just need a flip-x option and I'd switch over in a second. (cue the Ballad of the PITA Mirror Cab)

This might be a possibility in v2.0.
Maniacmat:
This is my first post on the forum and I hands down voted Hyperspin, I used another frontend in an old machine and found it painful to customise etc, but Hyperspin in one day I managed to setup my mame collection, Neo Geo,N64, C64 Atari, Sega master system, Megadrive, Nintendo, and Super Nintendo. I still have a few minor tweaks here and there, but all are playable and very easily change between them.
One thing I have a problem with Dazz is scrolling through large numbers of letters, I can go left a right to skip to the next letter, if I have something like Moon Patrol in the middle of the M's it can take a week to get to, maybe a speedup after a few seconds, this might already be a feature??
All in all, hyperspin is killer!
