GameRoomSolutions.com loves HyperSpin!
In short, HyperSpin is free software (although you should donate) that runs on Windows systems and will allow you to integrate all your emulators (game consoles) seamlessly into one single interface.
Let’s start by simply setting it up on your computer so you can get familiar. I will show you here how to set it up along with a NES emulator.
Once you feel comfortable then go onto the next level blog and we will get your HyperSpin computer connected up to a control panel, then put in an arcade cabinet.
Install HyperSpin on your computer
Now that we have HyperSpin extracted and upgraded out to C:HyperSpin, lets start configuring and add an emulator to test a game.
Configure HyperSpin and Install NES Emulator
