Adding a new system to Hyperspin for Android:
Step 1: Make sure your drive is mapped as S:\ or none of this will not work.
Step 2: Download the official database (XML) for the system you want to add:
http://hyperlist.hyperspin-fe.com/ Save it to your desktop
Step 3: Create your directory for your roms S:\Hyperspin\Roms\Sony Playstation\roms\
Make sure the folder matches the name of the official hyperspin system. Rom names don’t matter at
this point. We will match them to the database later.
Step 4: Launch Rocketlauncher from the Hyperspin folder:
Step 5:
Click the + sign and add a new system:
Step 6: Name it identical to the XML file. Tip, right click on the xml, rename it and copy the text so you
don’t have to type it out and possibly screw it up.
Step 7: Pick retroarch for the emulator.
Step 8: Pick your rom path:
Step 9: Select the database you download and select import. Click Finish and click ok.
You can now exit rocketlauncher
Step10: Go into S:\Hyperspin\Settings and edit Sega32.ini and also your new systems;s ini file. Example
Sony Playstation.ini
Copy all the txt from Sega32x.ini into Sony Playstation.ini. Make the identical.
Step 11: Close Sega32x.ini and change the rompath and also the system name:
Step 12 Match up main menu.xml and main menu_android.xml The system needs to be added to
android. Located here - S:\Hyperspin\Databases\Main Menu
Step 13: Add your artwork. Start with a default system theme and also a main menu theme. I use
hypersync since I have a platinum account.
Main Menu themes - S:\Hyperspin\Media\Main Menu\Themes\Sony Playstation.zip
System Default Theme: S:\Hyperspin\Media\Sony PlayStation\Themes\Default.zip
Main Menu Wheel: S:\Hyperspin\Media\Main Menu\Images\Wheel\Sony Playstation.png
Main Menu Video: S:\Hyperspin\Media\Main Menu\Video\Sony Playstation.mp4
Game Wheels: S:\Hyperspin\Media\Sony PlayStation\Images\Wheel\xxx.png
Game Letters: S:\Hyperspin\Media\Sony PlayStation\Images\Letters\*.png
Game boxes: S:\Hyperspin\Media\Sony PlayStation\Images\Artwork2\*.png or Artwork 4 depending
on theme
Game Videos: S:\Hyperspin\Media\Sony PlayStation\Video\Crash Bandicoot.mp4 (Not all games have
videos, I have a custom video for games that do not have a video so it does look like crap!)
ALL MEDIA MUST MATCH XML!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Step 14: Test your artwork. Launch Hyperspin.
Step 15: Edit The android settings for your system to set the emulator. Set the extensions, set the
emulator and core and also set filters. These are included in the base pack already for most systems.
S:\Hyperspin\Settings_Android
Step 16: Launch Hyperspin Checker from the tools folder: S:\Hyperspin\Tools\HyperspinChecker.exe
Set rom extensions and click update
Step 17: Click on Summary and click Check to do a inventory.
Step 18: Click on the Matcher tab. Set database to “without media” and set files to “unmatched”
Step 19: Now to rename our files match. Find the first game on the right side, and find the official name
on the left side which is the database.
Click Associate to rename it. Repeat the process for videos, wheels, artwork 2 or 4 etc. You can cut the
database down to USA if you want using Don’s hyperspin tools in the same folder as this tool.
