Later on in this review I mention the HyperSpin side project that I helped work on, it comes with everything that you need pre-packed to make life easier. You really can woo your friends when they come over. It does take some time to set up properly if you want to do everything from scratch but it is very rewarding to have a front end looking this pretty. Set up is a breeze, just make sure your rom files and game videos/snaps are the same name. For greater detail check the HyperSpin forums. Rule of thumb says a dual core, 2.0Ghz processor and 2Gb of RAM will get you through HyperSpin smoothly. I have an above average computer running a HyperSpin set up off of an external 2tb hdd (The hard drive is full) and it runs very fast. It’s very fast as well, its database uses. A video of it in motion is posted here as well. Words cant explain how nice this thing looks. If nothing else it is the best looking of all front ends in my eyes, downright sexy. Who wants to stand the entire time? We Americans are LAZY. It is the ultimate solution if you are looking to build your own arcade cabinet, but to tell you the truth, a lot of gamers just make a HyperSpin box and hook it up in the living room. Select your games in style with HyperSpin, and retain that pretty look and feel. So you have the emulator and you have the games, but everything still looks ugly right? Wrong! That’s where HyperSpin comes into play. Edit: and obviously Arcade machines! Thats always a good thing right? What is a emulator? Its the program that plays video games for specific consoles.
