[Robert]

Front End

 

This would have to be the biggest, fattest front-end yet, weighing in at 250mb.

 

HyperSpin 0.8.0.0

 

- Added Analog joystick/Ultrastik support.

- Added Trackball and Spinner support

- Added Option to display text on wheel with images, set strokes, gradients, font, shadows etc.

- Added Option to position the vertical wheel style, left, center, or right

- Added Options to adjust wheel speeds on a per emu basis.

- Added Separate Player 1 and 2 start and exit options

- Added Option to have a key delay when turning the wheel, for a quick pause after first turn in case the wheel spins to fast for you.

- Added Animated Special Artworks (swf support), animated joysticks and press/start animations. Includes examples.

- Added Ability to disable exiting HS with the Exit key.

- Added Sort list by name or description

- Added Ability to remove stuff in parenthesis from rom descriptions from wheel text or the textfield.

- Added Alphabetical game jump along with number of games jump support.

- Added Games can now adopt parent videos and parent themes.

- Added Can now have a default video overlay image for games without themes. Default.png in video folder.

 

- Added Now can return to same system on main wheel when exiting subwheel instead of always going back to MAME.

 

- Added Sub Menu default themes can now have default.xml file so themes can be made in HyperTheme. This makes it easier to share themes instead of giving instructions on what to change in the ini.

 

- Added better installer, initial download is alot bigger but includes all the main themes and vids and some wheel sets. Installation should be easier now, only thing you need to setup is your emu paths, rom paths, and video paths. Everything else is just optional including themes since HS supports text now.

 

- Added[/color] option to animate default themes out when holding up or down. The reason for this is that some default themes hide the wheel and don't animate out. So now you can optionally hide the theme when moving the wheel more than a few games.

 

- Added Skip Intro Video option with a key press.

- Added New Animation style "pixelate" - pixelate an image in, like in Super Mario World

- Added New Animation style "flip" - Image will flip in from random angle with a bend to it.

- Added New Animation style "bounce random" bounce an images all around the floor(bottom of screen), see future pinball theme.

- Added New Video style "tv" - Causes the video to animate in with a television static effect.

- Added Hi Score support from Fyrecrypts hiscore software.

- Fixed Attract mode not stopping on certain keys.

- Fixed Default backgrounds not animating in when coming to default theme.

- Fixed If using a custom video path then not pulling video overlays from media folder.

- Fixed If using fade on video with overlay then the video wouldnt fade in, it would just appear.

- Fixed Improved the way themes and default themes interact when navigating.

- Fixed Improved the wheel to run a little more smoothly and faster

 

- Fixed Themes only bug. Also loading with themes only is fast loading now, no slowdown. You should only ever need a full database now for your systems instead of theme only databases.

 

- Fixed HyperHQ path output for LEDBlinky for paths with spaces.

- Fixed Vertical wheel squishing wheel images on large wheel item.

- Fixed Background bug, where swf backgrounds wouldnt remove, i.e, you can hear asteroids sounds on another theme or menu.

- Fixed Bug when exiting during wheel jump locks HS.

- Fixed HS doesn't pause when minimizing.

- Fixed HS not pausing swf animations with nested movieclips, i.e, mr.do and nba jam, when losing focus.

- Fixed If going to exit menu then coming back to HS, then HS cant pause when losing focus anymore.
