MALA vs Hyperspin
Dekieon:
I tried both Mala and Hyperspin. They are both prety nice, but I prefer Mala over Hyperspin. For me, Hyperspin was just too much flash and not enough photo. I may revisit it in the future, but for now Mala has my vote. It been very straight forward to setup and create a theme for and does pretty much everything I wanted it to do.
Plus the whole gotta pay for everything for hyperspin is not something I am willing to do considering how much I have spent on the cabinet already and there is a perfectly good free alternative.
lettuce:
Has to be Mala for me, just due to HS not supporting vertical orientation a great deal.....if at all?, plus Mala can have a much more personal feel. That said HS is very professional looking and would probably grab someone's attention more than Mala

You don't have to stick with the default theming of HyperSpin and you don't have to use the "wheel". There are several different wheel options, by default the wheel is a wheel, but you have several options of how the "wheel" can appear. If you want a simple text list, you can have a simple text list. If you want a coverflow system like XBMC you can create a coverflow looking wheel. In v1.x coverflow has to be done manually by image manipulation, but in 2.x there will be MANY wheel options.
HyperSpin v 1.x is almost 100% customizable. If you don't like the way something looks then change it. HyperSpin can be as flashy as you want or as boring and mundane as any other front end. If you don't want all of the stuff flying around, simply create a new theme without it. The Mala theme that Badmouth posted below can easily be replicated in HyperSpin. The Maximus Arcade default theme can be easily replicated in HyperSpin. Almost any theme you see for another front end; HyperSpin can replicate it.
Someone give me a theme from Mala or Maximus that you'd like to see done in HyperSpin...
Attached is a quick repro of the default Maxmimus Arcade theme appearing in HyperSpin.

Personally I like Hyper Spin, but there is so much work that goes into configuring it. I hope 2.0 is out before I finish my cab so I can see if it will be worth using. There is no way I'm going to go through all that time to customize HS1.0 then switch to 2.0.
But... for the most part I'm sold on HS.

Maximus Arcade is by far the easiest front end I've experienced to date and it's nice looking too. I wonder why it doesn't seem that popular?
There hasn't been any updates to it in a while, so perhaps the product is dead - not sure.
