Hey BBB/HS team,
There's another arcade emulator that deserves the HyperSpin treatment: AAE. For those not familiar with it, it's a vector based arcade emulator, for games such as Tempest, Asteroids, etc.
"But Loaf you moron, Mame already handles those real well"
Yeah, it certainly does, but check out this page and see for yourself what makes this particular emulator so unique.
"Loaf, don't waste my time, I'm busy making themes here. What's so special about it?"
Sorry, ok, the uniqueness of this emu is that it simulates the phosporous nature of those classic games. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words, so check out the homepage and see for yourself. I messed around with the emulator about 6 months ago, works great BUT it didn't support Star Wars. Guess what, new release yesterday and new games supported: Star Wars :).
Please note: this emulator requires a modern video card. Whining about it isn't going to do you any good, that's just the way it is :).

edit: I broke down and attached a couple of pics. Notice the nice effect to the bullets, motion blur, etc?
