Hyperspin Project - Sega Disk Systems Games Part 1 - Sega CD

Overview
____________________________________



HyperSpin and EmuMovies

Connect an arcade machine to a PC and use HyperSpin as your menu system to navigate through your game collection from one
convenient interface. You can organize your games, launch your favorite emulators, PC games and other software and have fun
while doing it!

Hyperspin is probably the best frontend out there. It supports a lot of eyecandy for your favourite gamesystems.
Every console has it's own menu and every games representation in this menu consists of three things: A cover for the game,
a logo of the game (wheel) and a video of the gameplay. Soma consoles have aditional material like CD scans, carts and so on.

On hyperspin-fe.com a lot of content is freely avalible, and work in progres material is avalible on the Hyperspin FTP.
emumovies.com offers all finished videos freely in SQ and in HQ on their FTP + a lot of work in progress content. Combining
these two sources is the way to get the best possible frontend.



This Project

A lot of work goes into getting a console completely done. There is a lot of checking on game namings, matching, making sure
nothing is missing and adding extra games that might be missing. When this project began many consoles had missing covers,
missing videos, missing wheelart and so on. And many consoles had not even been incorporated into Hyperspin. I wanted
everything in my setup, and no games missing (from what can currently be emulated) or holes.

The point of this project was to collect everything avalible, match everything and create content that was missing. This
has resulted in lots of work for hunting down extra games, recording a lot of gameplay videos, collecting covers and so on. Not
to mention creating themes for the main menu. About nine months later everything is in place and I'd go as far as to consider it
the most complete setup out there.



The releases

This project is being released in several torrents. One torrent containing the frontend with all material for it (videos, covers,
themes, game databases). And aditional torrents containing all games perfectly matched for the frontend. You will
have to download the whole frontend wil all material. But you can easily disable some systems you might not want by editing
the "Main menu" xml database (containing info on what consoles to show in the main menu) and skip downloading games for
those systems.



Not ripping Hyperspin nor EmuMovies off

I have talked to the people in charge over at both hyperspin-fe.com and emumovies.com. They don't mind this torrent, and are
very cool about it. I cut a deal with them both. In order to get Hyperspin to work you will need to regiser over at
hyperspin-fe.com and download the hyperspin executable. This is a good thing, cause you will probably need to use the forums
anyway if you'll have any Hyperspin specific questions when setting it up on your machine. The hyperspin forums are very
active and full of helpfull people. As for emumovies.com, the videos in this torrent are in SQ quality. HQ videos perfectly
matched for this torrent can be found on the emumovies FTP. For a small donation you'll get access to the FTP and can simply
download all the videos as are and copy over the ones in this project, they will match perfectly.
