This is a question that generally gets asked with every front end management system. Technically you don’t need it, but if you want to save yourself some undue stress I would recommend it. So, is RocketLauncher necessary? I would say so as it removes a lot of the headaches involved in launching games and emulators with HyperSpin alone. The RocketLauncher interface showing a list of the emulators available With RocketLauncher running in the background HyperSpin will then be able to launch a plethora of different machines, which includes most retro consoles you care to remember as well as your favourite retro computers such as the Amiga and the Atari ST, at the click of a button. Setting up and launching just a few emulators is not that complicated, but as you increase the number of machines you want to play the whole process can become complicated and confusing. HyperSpin was originally built to work with arcade/MAME applications. Essentially it is the back end of the front end and takes all the heavyweight processes away from HyperSpin. It also expands on the options you have while using these emulators. RocketLauncher (formerly named HyperLaunch) is a program that runs along side HyperSpin with its primary function being to increase the ease of use with which to launch emulators and play games. What is RocketLauncher and Is It Necessary? When the desired system is selected the games for that machine will then be displayed in a similar graphical fashion. Your available systems will be displayed in and easy to navigate menu. With HyperSpin setup you will be presented with a stylish presentation with an easy to use interface. Simply loading up a ROM to play would be an arduous task consisting of numerous clicks and long winded searches through folders and files.

Without it you would need to download and install all your emulators and ROMs individually, and then know the location of all these applications and files. No, HyperSpin, or any front end menu system for that matter, is not absolutely necessary for playing your retro games, but it does make the experience more enjoyable. HyperSpin is also designed to work hand in hand with RocketLauncher so combining the two should be a quick and seamless process. The HyperSpin interface illustrating the scroll wheel on the right It allows you to create custom menu layouts with bespoke or stock imagery and videos, favouring artwork over text to give you that distinct arcade look and an immersive feel.

So, what is HyperSpin? – HyperSpin is a totally free front end graphic based management system for Windows and home arcade cabinets that allows you to organise and launch all your retro games quickly and easily. Chances are the setup you’re looking at has been created using HyperSpin. unless they have something from the early to mid 90's still on the shelf you will be able to play most MAME stuff with anything they have.Those of you that are just getting into retro gaming may have noticed on YouTube and other media, fancy retro game setups that consist of a scrollable wheel of different retro systems which display numerous games for each system in the form of text, images and videos. Hit a 2nd hand store, they almost always have a few $50 PC. I have built a few Rasberry PI machines too.

But as most said, almost any machine made in the last 10 years will play 90% of mame games, some 3D and pretty new stuff maybe wont play full speed, but with all the games that do, you should find something to play. Most used machine in my house, streaming KODI to one of the TV's and MAME to another, would recommend this build if you are starting from scratch. This last one is my File server/Multi Media machine with a 5TB USB drive with MAME and emu's plugged in with a couple 360 gamepads. I have also built a small machine with an intel G3258 4 Pentium 3.2 (MB and CPU is about $100) a core 2 DUO which seems to handle pretty much any game in MAME quite well. Which if i remember right played most everything (again in the Version of mame 2-3 years ago). I currently have a 2500 (none K version) which i bought here for $130(ish?) from a member who had quite a few for sale 2-3 years ago. There where a couple of 3D games which did not (some flying bicycle game i forget the name of). War Gods was my Benchmark back then, along with Gauntlet Legends, both which ran very close to full speed on teh E8400 (but only when it was OC'ed). I had a E8400 Overclocked to 3.6 and (remember this is a MAME version from 5+ years ago) almost everything ran fine. I had in the early days some Old AMD athlons running early MAME just fine. I have asked the same question here about every 2-3 years as I move onto other projects and eventually get pulled back to MAME machines and upgrading or building a new one.
