You’ll be doing many different things, but you definitely won’t be playing games. If your time is precious, and you would prefer to spend it playing some of the classic retro games out there, HyperSpin is the worst possible mess you could ever entangle yourself into.

IF you have a huge amount of free time, enjoy tinkering with executables, xml files, directories, sifting through page after page of poorly written documentation, making lots of notes, following link after link, trying to work out which of the vast amount of contradicting instructions are applicable to the particular version you may or may have of each of the many programs you’re trying to get to work, many of which have changed names, functions, etc, you might like the HyperSpin scene. Every guide, tutorial, walkthrough, or instructable is either out of date or missing numerous importants parts for the utter shambles that is HyperSpin. Until then, give Big Blue a whirl, it might surprise you.įirstly, the videos you linked to are deprecated and largely useless, which pretty much says it all about HyperSpin. The developer has touched on what’s possible theme wise but there’s no solid documentation on what’s possible so it’ll be some tinkering around before I get figure what I can and cannot do. This won’t be the last article I do on Big Blue, I’ll probably write a few tutorials on getting a basic Big Blue setup going and I do want to try make some themes.

Again this all comes down to personal preference and what you want out of your setup. But after all the time that I’ve wasted setting up emulator front ends in the past, Big Blue is a breath of fresh air. If everything I just talked about above doesn’t exactly appeal to you and you’re fine with your HyperSpin setup – I’m probably not going to convince you to switch.

Like I mentioned before, it’s not about style here it’s about function and ease of use in the backend. It is designed for a very particular sort of user in mind though. This basic philosophy of having lists and not being tied down by emulators and its MAME integration, is by far Big Blue’s major selling point. As you can tell, I like Big Blue, a lot. It’s currently in my Astro City now and it works a treat.
