It looks like a very well made FE, wouldnt mind playing around with it myself, but I dont need anywhere near the features it has.

This front end is called HyperSpin and it is a new entry into the Arcade FrontEnd systems.  Click here to check out the site (http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/index.php?referrerid=2).

We have been in a closed beta test for a little while now, but the last release is pretty stable.  The developer, BadBoyBill, is currently hard at work developing the them creation application that is used to create themes.  Since themes are the lifeblood of this frontend this is a piece that needs to be in place before we do an open beta. 

Another thing that has been slowing development down was trying to find a way to handle theme downloads.  I believe that we have this under control now and we have completed new forums and a new download area that will help with server loads.  Right now we have downloads closed to everyone except testers, but will open it come open beta.  The front end will definitely be worth the wait.

Come swing by our forums and hang out.

I personally cant wait. Seems like a fun FE to play around with.

BTW Dazz, your title is misspelled. ie "I buit my own...". Just thought I would point that out. I had noticed it a few times before but never bothered to say anything... (Or maybe your "L" key doesnt work well, my mother's doesnt as she spilt wine into the keyboard and you have to slam on that particular key (not kidding... :-\))

I can't wait to try it out.

The problem I have with MALA and to extent even w/ Maximus is that guests at your house that aren't familiar with frontends are able to nav within the system usually w/o problems but aren't aware they can't jump to other systems w/o instructions.

It's nice to see an interface that tells the user through the dial wheel IMMEDIATELY that they can.

I must admit this looks pretty awesome.  Any idea how close this is to complete?  This frontend looks like what I want!

Maybe as close as just a couple of weeks away.
