Download of this theme is now available only through The Great Themes Collection page:

Here you can download the entire collection of main menu wheel art that I used in the video. Just make sure the file names are the same as your display names in AM:

I downloaded the menu videos from emumovies ftp server (available for content contributors and paying customers). After you download the videos, place them in a folder named 'themes' in your attract/menu-art folder.
'Hyperspin Theme Mode' forum page: http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=3280.0
For the Hyperspin Main Menu Theme Mode, place your wheel logos and theme videos in these folders:
Wheel logos -> attract\menu-art\wheel
Theme videos -> attract\menu-art\themes

hi,i may well have missed them as it took me days downloading the vids.but where are the main menu genre videos downloaded from?

I downloaded them from their ftp server (available for content contributors and paying customers). If you don't have access to their ftp server, look for other sources, like this one:

Also, check each platform page on the emumovies website, they should have the unified theme video available for download, like here:

Hi I like your theme, I downloaded both packages, but I don't understand one thing, where to put the files of the folder (Genre Wheels)?
I have this problem, I don't see the video, yet everything seems in order, what am I wrong? Watch the video. I have the Attract-Mode version 2.6.1 - 64-bit

Hi!
For the Hyperspin Main Menu Theme Mode:
Wheel logos -> attract\menu-art\wheel
Theme videos -> attract\menu-art\themes
For the Hyperspin Theme Mode (mine is set to a 'mame' folder in the 'art-menu' folder):
Wheel logos -> attract\menu-art\Mame\wheel
Theme videos -> attract\menu-art\Mame\themes
Cheers

hello, strange but this folder in this path does not exist :-[ edit: ok I created the themes folder, is it possible to put the videos in the snap folder?
Theme videos -> attract\menu-art\themes
-
Yes of course but you should point your emulator config file - the emulator you use for running the games - to the snap folder.
It should look like this:
artwork themes YOUR PATH/attract/menu-art/mame/snap
As I mentioned, I use mame to run my arcade games so my mame.cfg file (in attract\emulators folder) looks like this:
# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.6.1
#
executable E:/Arcade/Attract/apps/Mame/mame64nonag.exe
args [name]
rompath E:/Arcade/Attract/apps/Mame/roms
romext .zip;.chd
system Arcade
info_source listxml
exit_hotkey Escape
artwork flyer $PROGDIR/menu-art/mame/flyer
artwork marquee $PROGDIR/menu-art/mame/marquee
artwork snap $PROGDIR/menu-art/mame/videos
artwork themes $PROGDIR/menu-art/mame/themes <- REPLACE THIS WITH WHERE YOU WANT THE THEME TO LOOK FOR THE FILES
artwork wheel $PROGDIR/menu-art/mame/wheel
artwork boxart $PROGDIR/menu-art/mame/boxart
'$PROGDIR' just tells attractmode to look for the folder where attractmode is located (like "C:\My Arcade\attract...")
Tell me if it works.
-
thanks it works fine ;)

I followed as requested but I can't make them work well, I inserted themi in attractmode \ menu-art \ themes and when I scroll the wheel I get out only some media present in the folder and many times when I return to the same system it doesn't even load me thema, can I do something to improve?

Very weird. First, what version of Attractmode are you using?
Second, what are you running this on? Windows? Linux? Pi?
The video you posted doesn't make sense to me - the theme is not supposed to load this kind of art. It loads only videos, the swf flash files for the joystick and press start animations and bezels for 4:3 aspect ratio when running on a 16:9 screen. It takes the bezels from a folder that is within the theme folder itself. Where is this art coming from?
-
you're right I gave you little information, now I use windows 10 but the project should be destined for windows 7, I tried to make you a detailed video, tell me if I can show you more
I'm only interested in the main manu to have it in hyperspin mode but not for the list of games

Here I am again, I tried again and it worked .... I inserted a video / thema mp4 and it works but it is of low quality and some people don't hear the audio. Can you tell me that I need the .sfw files? a single file that includes video / thema? Meanwhile, where are they or how can they be created? consider that I have 74 systems and I don't think they are all on the net

Hi, this looks ok - the videos that don't show are either videos that do not exist OR more likely videos that don't have the same name as the display name in attract mode. The display name is the name you give for the display of a given emulator you use. So let's say you configured attractmode to use MAME as an emulator, the display name you give for MAME can be "Arcade" for example. This means that the Hyperspin main menu theme mode will look for a video file called "Arcade" in the themes folder. BTW, you should consider using the latest version of Attractmode. 2.2.1 is very old and theme designers like me code for the latest version. It can solve many issues you might encounter.
See the screenshot, same name for the video files and the displays:

Oh don't try to use actual Hyperspin themes! As of this moment, attractmode itself doesn't know how to properly use real hyperspin themes - this is why I used videos! The current implementation of Hyperpsin theme in AM is half-baked, many times broken, this is why you are getting weird results!! For now, using recorded videos of the themes is the best we have.
-
ok now I have the clearest ideas, what I can't understand is how do I record a video on a thema when I don't have the possibility to create a thema? your videos seem high quality and animated .... explain to me how you managed to create them and then record them?!? in the meantime, could you share yours that I have an idea so?
-
I downloaded them from their ftp server (available for content contributors and paying customers). If you don't have access to their ftp server, look for other sources, like this one:

Can anyone share the media again?
-
The path of the media could be altered for the main menu of the Hyperspin main menu.
for example , to d:\Emulation\Media\Main menu\ , or any other location.
I would like to move all possible media from the attract folder and so it is lighter.
