I'm trying to add an emulator but have no idea how to do it. Could someone please explain the process including how to make a game list for it?

Hi gonzo90017.

Hyperspin have the following structure

DATABASES
MEDIA
SEETINGS


1 - For include a new emulator you must create an ini file inside the SETTINGS FOLDER wich you can modify for one of the existing doing a copy of it.

Inside the file you can find [exe info], and here is where you can put the path of your emulator.

2 -The name of that ini file must be registred in the DATABASE folder, inside you must find another folder called "Main Menu" and finally main menu.xml

Edit the file adding

<game name="THE NAME OF YOUR CREATED INI FILE">


3 - In the Media Folder you must create a folder with the same name of the created ini file and inside two folders, Images, Themes.

Each of that folders must have at minimun the following folders

Images
Background and Wheel

For get specifications of the formats soported use the hypertheme program whis is in the download section


I know that is a little hard understand with out images, but I hope I can help a little.
