Title: Migrate from Hyperspin to AM Easily?
Post by: KoronoXyl on May 23, 2016, 08:11:51 PM

Hi guys,

I've been looking through the themes and I really love the look of Attract Mode. It also seems to run much smoother than Hyperspin, and I'm ready to make the change. However, I have a pretty decent collection of game art, videos, and wheel art in my Hyperspin setup, and I'd rather not start from scratch or transfer all of these files individually. Is there a quick way to migrate all of my media from my Hyperspin setup to Attract Mode?

Thanks!
Koro.

If you are using RocketLauncher with HyperSpin you can change the FrontEnd option to Attract-Mode vs. HyperSpin for a pretty simple switch. If you're not using RocketLauncher or don't want to with Attract-Mode, you just need to modify the Emulator.cfg files to point to your HyperSpin Media (wheels, videos, box art, etc.). You can even import your HyperSpin databases into Attract-Mode from the command line. You can also copy over your "Favorites" list too.
