Lordmonkus Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 In the poll over on Emumovies Launchbox has taken the lead over Hyperspin. http://emumovies.com/forums/topic/10423-emumovies-front-end-poll-16/ Not sure when this happened but when I last checked a week or two ago Launchbox was behind by about 8%. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Yeah for sure, the people who haven't made the switch are generally people who invested a lot of time in getting Hyperspin all setup and don't want to ditch all of that time inversted for something else. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frasto90 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) Launchbox is the way to go! The things you can do with this is unbelievable! In my eyes its worth spending the money because the developers just constantly find more ways to make it more better and easier to use! Hyperspin you could almost say needs a rebuild!! At the moment everything needs to be done manually when you're adding new systems, artwork, videos, roms etc....I was a noob to all this 12 months ago and took me a long time to full understand and master it! Launchbox I would recommend to all new users to the scene, and it does most of the work for you! besides setting up emulators.

mameau Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 most defiantly easier, i remember with hyperspin it was painful as you had to work with modules etc, at least now with retroarch handling a lot of emulation process it makes it even easier also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomerps2 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 If BadBoyBill doesn't come up with something crazy, I maybe jumping ship from this four year Hyperspin investment. Ohhh man this is nerve racking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 If what you got setup now is working there is no reason to switch but if you were to start over with a new build then it might be worth it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomerps2 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) I have built many Hyperspin cabinets and got a big one on the way. I have it all on a 5TB drive so I think converting over won't be a problem at all. Just tired of the lack of widesceen support among other things. So many hours of my life has been dedicated to this front end. It's a black abyss that sucks you in. I think I'll just grab another 5TB drive to see how LB plays out in a cabinet setting. How is the support for the Mayflash Dolphin Bar on LB? Edited October 31, 2016 by Boomerps2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 I don't have a Mayflash Dolphin Bar at all but I don't see any reason it should be a problem for Launchbox. Unlike HyperSpin, Launchbox doesn't rely on a back end program like RocketLauncher (and its modules) to function. As long as the emulators you are using supports the controllers and accessories Launchbox will be fine. As far as a controller working as the controls with Launchbox goes any controller that is recognized by windows it should work just fine.

InfinityFox Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) I must say that I also always liked Hyperspin and tried in vain to get it up and running. Then thanks to simply austin's video I discovered lauchbox. It was the ease of use that austin talked about, so I thought I'd give it a go. It was the best $50 I've ever spent!! In most cases you add your roms and emulator and you are done, which is awesome. You do however get certain systems that are a problem and require some time to be invested in them (Future Pinball YAWN). However with the wonderful community and brads videos it is a pleasurable experience to build up my system list, where as Hyperspin was not. Don't get me wrong, I love Hyperspin, but I've found a new home with Launchbox. Keep up the good work guys, it is most appreciated Edited October 31, 2016 by InfinityFox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
