When adding themes to hyperspin do i still need to manualy add the xml file to the database folder or is there an easier way when adding a new theme?

Not yet coming soon. via HyperTheme, for now what I do is get HyperHQ to put out one big list for me that I keep aside, then when I need to add a theme I just grab that xml section out of that file and paste it into my mame.xml. HyperTheme will next allow you to add and remove themes easily, but only if the theme was properly packaged, so some older themes that people packaged differently won't work and will have to be repackaged from HyperTheme.

So are you manually adding the code in the file under Hyperspin/Database/mame?

I have been trying to add them quicker, is this the only way?

Yes you have to add that part into that folder manualy for now untill Hypertheme gets its add and remove theme feature completed. Hopefully BadBoyBill will have enough free time to get that part completed pretty soon. :)
