Good question! I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve!

[Visitor Q]

LOL!

Launch! Launch! Launch! Launch! Lunch..... I mean Launch!

Jason

ps. That boy ain't right. ;)

[Dna Disturber]

It's 03:00 here (the netherlands) so it has been the 6th of august for like 3 hours to me :stoned:

[brian_hoffman]

Still putting it together. Should be ready in a few hours...

Hopefully

[Visitor Q]

I call 12:01am EST. :party:

Jason

ps. That is 3 hours. ;)

[brian_hoffman]

We're having Torrent diffaculties...

Probably be doing a megaupload...

If you have a megaupload acct you get a faster speed... But this will allow us to save our bandwidth.

[Dna Disturber]

good things come to those who wait :toilet:

:D

[MameKid]

Well it all ready 11:12AM here in Australia, forgot about the time zone difference:banghead: O' well, I waited for months, so I can wait a few more hours:burnout:

[brian_hoffman]

its 6:17 pm here.. We will see about getting it up by this evening.

[amchine]

Oh man. So much Hype!

[Visitor Q]

Yeah Hype.... R

I just hope by the time I wake up I can start the torrnet download cause I don't have that other crap. =/

Jason

[brian_hoffman]

What other crap?

Megaupload is free and easy to d/l from.
If your are a suscriber you get faster speeds is all I was saying.

[Visitor Q]

Oh... Werd.

Maybe you can site it on file planet as well?

Jason

[mountain]

Maybe a stupid question but...how will we know when it is released?

[brian_hoffman]

There will be a formal announcment on the main page.

:)

[BadBoyBill]

It could be a possibility:cool:

[Supershoe]

Man this is like waiting for christmas! I can't wait! It's 8:26!:dancing2:

[brock.sampson]

Hopefully I get something I want this time. Can't wait until morning.

[TheCloudOfSmoke]

I'm going to spread the word on Emuforums to get more attention on this amazing frontend. :D

[brian_hoffman]

That would be great...
I can see the server being hammered :)

[Supershoe]

I'm going to spread the word on Emuforums to get more attention on this amazing frontend. :D

That would be a good idea, but what if the servers go down due to the massive populace coming here? :afraid: Then we won't be able to download it. :afraid: It's the wii launch all over again...:motz:

[BadBoyBill]

We probably wont open our server for a couple weeks, so it will all be through other methods, we will try to do both a megaupload and a torrent.

You didn't have to do that, but thanks anyways. :) Emuforums is asleep right now, but by tomorrow morning, I'm sure it will gain some interest (as long as they check the vids :drool:)

[BadBoyBill]

I think were going to use a torrent for the release, I am packaging it soon and we will begin seeding. Thanks Circo of emumovies.com for chipping in with getting that setup.

[Supershoe]

So does that mean it will be released at 12?

[BadBoyBill]

It will probably not be by 12, it's already being uploaded to the server now at which point Circo has offered to take over for me and get it packaged up. Im guessing a couple hours. I was actually not going to release it till tomorrow evening but now it looks like it will be tonight. But after 12 though. Thanks for being patient.

[Supershoe]

Heh no prob. I guess staying up longer won't do any harm.

[brian_hoffman]

Like there is any other choice..

Thanks Circo for everything..

I guess this really is coming out.. :)

[Modab]

I was waiting to start the download, but now I will sleep and come back tomorrow morning. I can't wait to try it out. Can't wait! :)

[paulstevens]

Just a quick note to let all who are waiting eagerly and patiently that this release will happen soon. This is the biggest project this team has ever done, and we are trying to make sure that the resulting download works as smoothly as possible. Please bear with us as we work through glitches in setting up the torrent and any last minute changes to the installation.

It has been working well for the team, but we are very close to it and may tend to overlook things not obvious to new users. We are trying our best to make it a drag and drop installation to get users up and running quickly.

Thanks for your patience.

[Supershoe]

Heh, since I don't want to miss this, I will be staying up! Then go to sleep and find it already to play the next morning!

[brian_hoffman]

Thanks paul!

[Circo]

Think Brian and I came up with a plan to get the torrent up ASAP. Not sure how much longer, but should be soon.

[BadBoyBill]

I'm trying to get everything to where its just a no hassle no fuss plug and play download. There are so many files, that I'm double checking theme to make sure you shouldnt have issues and you should just be able to double click the exe to start playing with the wheel and enjoying over 50 themes plus some extra's full packs n'stuff.

The only thing you'll have to do once youv'e downloaded it change your emu exe paths in the respective ini files. But you shouldnt have to do that right away if you just want to check HyperSpin out.

We will update the torrent possibly once a month to reflect any new themes and changes, but I recommend becoming a member here and you will have first access to any new themes that come out before they go any torrent updates.

We encourage you to help us seed the files to the community if you feel like chipping in.

[Supershoe]

It's 12!

[The Loafer]

Nicely done to get all this out. whether or not this is a first public release is irrelevant, this program brings something completely different to the "scene" so kudos to the team for all of your hard work.

3:00am here, I gotta hit the sack. Haven't been waiting around, been busy with my other hobby: Astronomy. ugh, post processing of my data can take forever sometimes.

[Circo]

Update: Torrent link should be available within the next hour or so. Will update as we get closer and I can be more specific.

[Supershoe]

Shweet!

[Lilwolf]

I was hoping the torrent would be up before I had to go to work, so I could play with it when I get home... I guess it will be well seeded by the time I get home at least.

Good luck on the release!

[Circo]

Torrent is complete, Brian should be adding it any minute now :D

Enjoy Everyone!

[BadBoyBill]

The torrent is up and being served. Find it after the read....

What you will be getting:

Full install ready to play
All current MAME themes 50+
Full NES set done, wheel images and cleaned up boxart set, nice default theme
Full N64 set done, wheel images and cleaned up boxart set, nice default theme
Full NEO GEO set, wheel images, big logo's, cleaned up mini marquees.
Full NEO GEO Pocket Color Set, wheel images, cleaned up boxart set, all flv videos courtesy of emumovies.com
Future pinball wheel setup with 5 video themes and wheel images to get you started.
Main Menu themes installed.
Lots of cool game sounds and extra frontend art.

The downloads is gonna be pretty hefty, little over 1GB, but were throwing in most everything we have so far minus a few things we have in our download section.

I just want to give a shout out to some of the people who shined in making what we have today possible.

Thanks especially to billpa - a great graphic artist who contributed probably most of the themes we have to date and has provided lots of good tutorials that can be found in the forum, plus alot of work done on restoration of the NES boxarts.

Thanks to brian_hoffman who has helped with making sure all the major emulators can work properly in HyperSpin. He pretty much made all the configs you will already need for getting all the systems running. He also contributed to several themes, helped beta testers with questions and personally recorded about two thirds of the game sounds you hear in HS. I'm know he did a whole lot more, I just cant think cuz its so late.

Thanks to allisterfiend for the huge amount of work he did on our glossy style wheel image set for NES. It took him alot of time so we hope you like them.

Thanks alot to amchine for the amazing themes he's made for MAME such as the gradius series and for the ton of work he did with me in producing the full NEO GEO big logo art set, it was a lot of work cutting those logos out and even making some from scratch. He's also responsible for the default themes you will see for several systems that just look amazing. He did most of the work on the N64 wheel image set that your getting also and gathered up and worked up the N64 boxart set also. He also chipped in on doing my share of the NES boxart restoration that I was supposed to do. If you switch the a and m in his name it would be machine cuz thats what he is!

Thanks to paulstevens, I cant say in how many ways that pretty much without him in the beginning HS would definitely not be where its at today. Extremely helpful member here and I am in debt and thanks for converting the MAME emumovies to flv's.

Thanks to Circo for helping with the torrent and spending alot of time creating all the great videos you will need for HS. Without emumovies his work we would still be stuck with static screenshots. I recommend either contributing to emumovies.com to get FTP access so that you can download all the flv videos that HyperSpin needs to look its best. There will also be torrents to get everything free also.

Thanks to SpiderStyle for creating the backend for HS called HyperHQ, he and his wife recently had a baby that were happy to hear about. HyperHQ is still unfinished and will continue being developed as time permits. We are including a beta copy in the torrent, so please be understanding of its current state.

Thanks to Dazz for helping setup the website were using, providing tons of support and creating several themes. He is the main administrator on this site and has helped tremendously, everything from creating the forums, installation of the downloads sections and lots more.

Thanks to JoyMonkey for putting up the informational wiki we have here and providing some themes, and helping with lots of website issues.

And lastly I would like to thank all the private beta testers for helping us get to where we are by providing all the great feedback. Sorry I'm really tired and couldnt find it in me to name everyones name who has contributed to the project. But thanks to all!

Instructions: Just download and play. If you want to set your emu's up just edit the paths in your ini's.

[pflook]

thankyou to all those involved!
downloading now :)

[Supershoe]

YES FINNALY!!!!!!!:party::party:

What happens after Hyperspin downloaded you may ask? Most likely this!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LACCXHutkbk&feature=related

[Mad_Skillz]

Yes thank you very much, but it seems no-one is seeding :S?

[BadBoyBill]

Its seeding now, but its just one guy, it should be fully built up in 4 or 5 hours.

[BadBoyBill]

Also if you guys could be kind and help seed after your done, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

[Circo]

Yes thank you very much, but it seems no-one is seeding :S?

It sort of takes a little while for the torrent to warm up, it's still getting through the different trackers (there are 5 total) give it a little bit to get stated. Should really start seeing it cook in an hou or so. Currently seeding at 200kB/s. But I am mostly connecting through peer exchange, as the torrent starts reporting on the different trackers it should really speed up. Just give it a little time guys :)

[Circo]

Bill you may want to post a seperate STICKY thread with the release post, it's going to get lost in here :)

[galsia]

Thanks for the torrent. I don't know if it's just me, but when I opened the torrent properties in uTorrent trackers weren't seperated by an empty line and uTorrent could only see the first tracker. I had to add empty lines to make it read the other trackers.

[BadBoyBill]

Good idea.

That's weird but you are right. Shouldn't really make a difference, speed seems to be pretty constan right now, but easy good solution to get some more speed. I don't want to kill the torrent and restart because of that. It will work good as is, but will work better by doing what galsia suggested.

[MameKid]

Thank You Very Much:) I will seed to I can seed no more:) But have to get it down first:dancing2:

[Visitor Q]

Houston, we have lift off!

I will seed it after I download it.

So I got to ask, the original beta is pretty big in size, how big do you plan on the updtes being here after or is it to soon to tell?

Jason

[BadBoyBill]

Thanks for helping seed guys.

I'll do what I can to forward this project. Can't wait to get it installed when I get home from work today, prepare for lots of questions. =]

JasonMore than likely future releases will only be the .exe (3-4mb) unless there is a major change. This first release is just to get it out there and so people have a fully operating front end out of the box.

[Visitor Q]

Nice, nice...

Are the movies included in this release?

Jason

[The Loafer]

Arrgghhhh, I forgot to log on when I got up and check/start the torrent. No problemo, I'll start when I get home and will continue seeding for a couple of days straight to help out.

[billpa]

I dont believe movies are included. You can get those at Emumovies.com

Im DLing now just so I can seed.

Its cool to see so many peeps excited about HS. I think you will all enjoy it and it will only get better.

BBB, I think the NES boxart will be short a 100 or so images. These were the ones that we assigned to someone that wasn't working on it so amchine and I are trying to get them done.

[Dazz]

I am rar'ing up and creating PAR sets right now. I will be uploading to alt.binaries.emulators shortly.

Can't wait to see this!!

[Modab]

Heh, since I don't want to miss this, I will be staying up! Then go to sleep and find it already to play the next morning!

My strategy of not waiting and going to sleep has worked! And now the downloadening begins :)
I will seed this for a long time.

Man, the images I downloadened already look sweeeet.

[BadBoyBill]

Crapo, my internet died right after I went to sleep, its back up now and I'm uploading 250k/sec now.

[Circo]

Ahha now I see six seeders, well I have to go to work folks, see ya in 8 hours!

[paulstevens]

[brian_hoffman]

[BadBoyBill]

We've got you covered dude. Fat pipe is live!


Lol, tell him thanks.

[BadBoyBill]

So when your looking at say utorrent, whats the difference between the numbers under seeds and peirs in parentheses and not in parenthesis.

[Circo]

The ones like (6) are total seen the one like 6 w/o the () are total connected to you.

[Circo]

FYI, the .flv video torrent will go live this evening after I get off of work and HS has completely seeded.

[brian_hoffman]

I believe its the one you can actually connect to.

Jason

[Supershoe]

Whoot! 30 mins left! 13 Seeders!

[Captain Flint]

I started it over it took under an hour... I just got it completed, and now seeding.

[Visitor Q]

No telling for me until I walk in the door from work, fingers crossed.

Jason

[billpa]

I was seeding pretty hardcore for a little bit but had to back off while I finished some work (it was bogging down a few of my programs). Once I get my work done, I will open the floodgates again :D

[mountain]

Hopefully one of those seeders is me! I'll find out when I get home.

[brian_hoffman]

let us know.

[mountain]

nice...mountain is going to give it a whirl. Now all we need for him to do is build a HyperSpin themed cab or bartop. :D


Hell yeah! How about 24" spinners flush mounted as side art :)

[billpa]

Whatever you come up with would be awesome. If you are ever serious about making it, let me know and I can hook you up with all the artwork that I have done that is HS related...heck I would even donate the design of the marquee, cp, etc.

[Visitor Q]

LOL!

[qwerty7]

Crapo, my internet died right after I went to sleep, its back up now and I'm uploading 250k/sec now.

Got you covered... I'm seeding at between 1500-2000KB/s but if somebody wants to suck it down faster, my box has done 8000KB/s without breaking a sweat. Hammer away. :-)

Pat

[brian_hoffman]

Thanks!

[Supershoe]

Ok. Can you guys help me out here? I'm trying to make a new selection on the Wheel as titled "PC Games". I want the wheel to load up the .exe files of PC games such as Gary's Mod and Audiosurf. Now how would I go about doing this?

Now how would I go about doing this?Give me a few minutes and I'll create the setup for PC Games that I use. It really isn't too difficult if you understand how the Database and Media files all work. It is a matter of creating a couple folders, editing the main menu.xml file in the database folder, and a couple other things.

[brian_hoffman]

Goto the main menu XML and add the ITEM. Youll know your in the correct place if you see the other entrys that are on the current wheel.
Then goto databases and add an XML using the same name as you added in the mainmenu.xml
Then goto into settings and copy an existing ini and rename it to the same name you added in the other files. (This is where you configure it to launch)
Then goto the Images folders and create art for the said entry

Have fun and take time to go through everything to see how its all peiced together.

exe =

pcgameextension =

soory, pick the extension you want exe or bat or lnk for example

[Dazz]

Ok, extract this file into your HyperSpin directory. Once that is done you will need to edit your Databases > Main Menu > Main Menu.xml and add the following:

<game name="PC Games" />

before the </menu>

This should be enough to get you up and running with a basic example. You can look around in the files and see how this works and then add whatever games you need to.

I would suggest creating a folder for your PC Games shortcuts, and point the settings file at that folder. For instance:

HyperSpin > Emulators > PC Games > create shortcuts here.

I have that part done. The only problem I'm having is making Hyperspin run the shortcuts.

[Dazz]

I have that part done. The only problem I'm having is making Hyperspin run the shortcuts.It sounds like you don't have your shortcuts named correctly.

Look at the settings file that I included. Make sure that your shortcuts are named exactly as you have it in your database .xml.

Databases > PC Games >PC Games.xml
<menu>
<game name="ETQW">
<description>Enemy Territory: Quake Wars</description>
<crc></crc>
<manufacturer></manufacturer>
<year></year>
<genre></genre>
</game>
</menu>

The shortcut MUST match the name that you have in the game name field above. With my example the shortcut would need to be called ETQW.

[qwerty7]

Thanks given!

NP. It's good to work for a company with fat pipes. Once Circo posts the torrent for the movies, I imagine we can give my box a bit more to do. I uploaded 320+G for his last set on Pleasuredome but that was throttling at 750KB/s. I've got it wide open for these. :) Thanks for the awesome front-end, guys!

1. Create folder HyperSpin > Emulators > PC Games if you don't have it already
2. In the PC Games folder, right click, create shortcut and browse to the .exe of the game you want to add. Make sure that the name of the shortcut is the same name you entered in the <game name="xxxxx"> in the database xml for PC Games. You will need to rename the shortcut since by default Windows will name a shortcut like Shortcut to XS.exe. You simply want the shortcut to read as XS. This will create the .lnk since shortcuts have an extension of lnk.
3. In your PC Games settings file use lnk as the file extension instead of .exe.

Ok, HS is not finding your exe. Do you actually have the game installed in your Hyperspin\Emulators\PC games folder? More than likely you have it installed somewhere else...



Wait, does that mean the game needs to be installed there? I only put the shortcuts in there.

You can ... and should edit the INI to point to the correct paths...

The paths are correct, I'm using shortcuts (.lnk) and I made sure the ini had the extension lnk. I made sure that the C:\HyperSpin\Emulators\PC Games\ had the shortcuts in it (It did). And when I ran it, it says the same thing:

10:32:46 PM | HyperSpin Started

However, the emulators work on the wheel.

However, the emulators work on the wheel.Can you post a screenshot of this folder please? C:\Hyperspin\Emulators\PC Games\XS.lnk Just navigate to C:\Hyperspin\Emulators\PC Games ad hit print screen, paste into a graphics program and then post it as an attachment here.

Obviously HS isn't finding those specific folders, perhaps a misspelling or something somewhere that is causing it.
