I haven't tried this in a while so I can't give the full details but hyperspin has a "media" sub-folder for its themes, artwork, and videos for different systems. You just drag or copy the entire Media folder to attract/layouts in attractmode. Then, when you choose your layout in the options screen, choose the one titled "media"

Yes I've got the emulator themes working
I'm trying to get the display menu themes working

I'm reading some thin has to go into the menu_art folder

I'm not sure if the hyperspin themes will work with the display menu themes in attractmode. Although I haven't tried this yet so I can't confirm this to be true or not. However, you're right that the artwork for the display menu theme has to go in the menu-art folder. A good example of a theme for the display menu can be seen here: http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=1167.0
With that theme, you can simply put the system logos in the menu-art/wheel folder and put a full sized 16x9 video of each system in the menu-art/snap folder. Easy breezy! :)

You can use HyperSpin Display Menus but they work different than the new Displays Menu option. They don't use /attract/menu-art/ folders. They use the /attract/layouts/Media/Main Menu/ folder just like HyperSpin does.
