"Library" Style Game Select

[hyperspin360]

I've had a theme planned for Hyperspin for awhile but unfortunately, due to the limitations of the wheel, I've not been able to get it to work. Here is a screen cap of what I mean:

Ultimately, the problem is the limitation to only the up/down movement.

Which brings me to my request...

Would it be possible to implement (maybe into the HyperTheme editor) a way to place the select cursors in a layout similar to the above screen cap, and then have an UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT range of motion?

So if for example, I were on Super Mario Bros. like the above image, pressing up would highlight Goonies II, right would select Mario 2, and so on.

However, it would be nice to keep this screen separate from the actual window that loads the theme for the game (as it is with the Wheel Select/Theme Screen with the current version of HyperSpin). I was planning to have the next screen be a close up shot of the box on the shelf which you would launch the game from.

Just a thought...

Thanks!

That's a very nice layout and while I agree it would be cool, I can also say that it isn't going to be implemented any time soon (if ever). The way Hyperspin operates is already a widely accepted layout. Others have suggested a grid-like layout as you've shown, but is just isn't something that's very likely. It would require a brand new rewrite (aka it wouldn't be Hyperspin anymore).

Thank you for sharing. Maybe one day someone will offer to program a new front-end to bring about this sort of grid selection. :)

Without a MAJOR re-write, again, this would not be possible. I don't ever see it being implemented, sorry.
