My 4 year old cousin comes over and hops right on my rig with no problems Best demos and animations, bar none.īut i dont understand how its any harder to controll gamex over hyperspin or others Hyperspin is so nice I like to just leave it up and running through the demos. It simply isn't possible to do that for thousands of games. EVERY MAME setup needs some games tweaked for keymappings, trackball speed, volume, etc. You might as well just sit at your Desktop PC with a keyboard and mouse, because you're never going to have a fully configured system anyway. If you want 5000 games and need to be able to search by year, sort lists, switch emulators, etc. Navigating the frontend is nearly as fun as playing the games. Spinning through the wheel isn't a big deal with 100 games, you can push the joystick to the Right and it will skip quickly to the next letter. I do, so in my eyes, Hyperspin blows everything else out of the water.

Hyperspin is the nicest, if you want a smaller MAME game list. What do you want out of your MAME cabinet? Something that looks and works like a polished arcade game, or something that requires you to change settings and make adjustments and explain how to use it every time someone tries to use it?Īgain. Just delete or move the xml file for that game. I just set it to show games with Themes Only and then removed the handful I decided I didn't want. That's not necessary with Hyperspin unless you want a trimmed list. I removed a lot of games that had Themes already just because I didn't think the games were worth keeping. I like a compact list of good games that I personally enjoy or remember playing as a kid. If you want a MAME setup with 5000 games, this isn't the frontend for you. My complete setup fits on a 1 gb jump drive. So I can just copy it and my MAME folder onto a jumpdrive and run it anywhere with no extra setup. One of the nice things about it is it's completely portable. Of course, it takes a little time to set it up just like any frontend, but I thought it was easier to set up than every other front end I've tried. Once you see it running polished on a MAME cabinet, it'd be hard to resist using it. I could probably upload a video of it in action. (I confirmed this with slower Intels as well).

I tried to run it on an Athlon 1700+ but it crashed routinely due to not enough CPU horsepower. This is close to the minimum system it will run on. I have a P4 2.66 ghz 512M RAM and run it at 640x480 and turned off advanced transitions to help with the performance. It basically looks like the newest ultracade Global VR Classics games, except it has no credit management and it doesn't display the controls used before a game is loaded.

Far better than any other frontend and I've tried a lot of them over the past 7 years. I set it up with MAME only and about 75 games, it's beautiful and looks totally clean and professional.
