1. Place all key assignments in hyper hq. (which may already be coming since hyper hq ain't done yet)?

2. Passworded shut down pc function / key access so you can shut down from control panel... For example, when you hit esc from hyperspin menu you can either exit hyperspin or shutdown the pc and if you choose to shutdown, you need to enter a password to shut it down. This way if it is in a cabinet it can't be shut down accidentally.

3. I think something needs to be done to make it simpler/easier (for ppl like me) to work the artwork. For example, I want to use hyperspin in my cabinet just for mame and when i created a favorites list, most of them have no art and I have to do/edit "stuff" manually. Now, wouldn't it be nicer if in hyper hq, you could assign the paths to the artwork and make them align with mame.

Right now you have artwork 1, artwork 2, etc, and i'm not sure what that is, i think it's quadrants. Why not, at least for mame, make it so you could assign a path to snap, control panel, marque folders. If this was the default mame setting, then it'd be ready to go out of the box. Now I know that i'm close to being an idiot, but I can get Mala up and running very easily, so shouldn't hyperspin be close to the same level of difficulty in setting up for mame?

I really like all the artwork and the layout of the games that are already in there, but I can't hack (and I know that is my lack of intelligence problem) all the farting around it takes (and maybe that is just 'cuz it's beta) to get artwork working on my favorites list.

Thanks.

Hyper HQ will have keyboard setting when he gets a chance in the next coming releases.

Thats a good idea for shutting down the pc. I'll add it to the list.

Surely the best thing about HyperSpin is the fact that you no longer need all that extra artwork? Remember this is still technically a beta so not all the theme work is complete yet. When it is complete you will have to do little more than drop your roms and emulator in the relevant folders. Can't get easier than that!

Remember with options comes complexity, lord knows there are already enough complex FE's out there already.

Just copy your snaps into one of the artworks, doesnt get any easier than that...

And artworks are depths instead of quadrants, so artwork 1 is the lowest and artwork 4 is the highest. You have to set your animation settings in the ini file to show how those artworks in that folder are going to act.
