And they only mention Breakers which out of stock at Pixel Hearts. Neo Drift Out stock is still plenty - I am sure they have some sort of agreement that they can’t re-license until stock is depleted. So like never.

Given that I know extensively about all the frontends...

What is better than hyperspin properly setup right? With Rocketlaincher.

Nothing has the amount of themes of hyperspin.

Yes, for NEO GEO, CRT and RGB only.

I remember trying expensive alternatives back in the day etc but I always came back to the one with the big booty. (Is that ever wrong?) All hail Trinitrons.

Real hardware is always going to be better

Saying that, I run Launchbox/Big Box on my home theater PC. Though I don't really use it for emulation much.

Not talking about real hardware.

But on the frontend side of things... Nothing is better than Hyperspin. Launchbox is just system wide themes that all use the same terrible scraped boxart from their server.... And the individual video Mame themes on it, were made from the hyperspin themes and recorded with OBS.

CoinOps... has a cool take on things... as they show origianl cabinet art... but again.. this is limited to a few thousand and really only spans mame.

Retrobat... is system wide theme based just like Launchbox... and in many ways does it better... but is quite limited by the same system art and quite hard to modify as its presented as an all in one package for arcade games.

Hyperspin is by far the most versatile and adapatable with the most content.

Im excited for Hyperspin 2.

For Neo-Geo specifically.... if you set it up with Finalburn Neo and scanlines... you can get it to about 99.9 percent of the origianl look even on newer LCD screens.... and since it has cpu overclocking... you can also get rid of the slowdown. Pair it wtih an Arcade stick... And its like playing on real hardware.

But yeah... real hardware will always be king... (Just nice having every game available through emulation)

Doubled edged sword in 2026. If a post garners enough attention the publishers ears are more likely to listen.

Would be naive to think that most of the indies wouldnt want to be taken on by plaion.

My 2p anyways

Would it not be "better" to go down the emu crt route and then you could sack off all the filters and get something more accurate.

I went down this rabbit hole 15 years ago and ended up buying new astros. Was worth it to me.

There has to be a better place to discuss this emulation nonsense, especially when almost every game involved is readily available legally on modern platforms.
