I know most people on here shun the mame world. Has anyone used or set-up hyperspin? I'm trying to and getting lost faster than I start.

use gameex it's sooooooo easy to use and has great support on their forums (more help there than on byoac)+ it has a built in juke box feature
csnt beat the automactic menu creation that gameex has instead of having to manually compile your lists like mala and hyperspin
Hyperspin looks awesome but man is it a bitch to get set up nicely.
I keep wondering about this statement, I found HS trivial to set up compared to other frontends. Maybe it has come along since you last tried it? Maybe I should zip up my setup so others here can evaluate it. Just unzip it and run it...

That's not necessary with Hyperspin unless you want a trimmed list. I just set it to show games with Themes Only and then removed the handful I decided I didn't want. Just delete or move the xml file for that game. Took 2 minutes.
What do you want out of your MAME cabinet? Something that looks and works like a polished arcade game, or something that requires you to change settings and make adjustments and explain how to use it every time someone tries to use it?
Again... Hyperspin is the nicest, if you want a smaller MAME game list. I do, so in my eyes, Hyperspin blows everything else out of the water. Spinning through the wheel isn't a big deal with 100 games, you can push the joystick to the Right and it will skip quickly to the next letter. Navigating the frontend is nearly as fun as playing the games.
If you want 5000 games and need to be able to search by year, sort lists, switch emulators, etc. You might as well just sit at your Desktop PC with a keyboard and mouse, because you're never going to have a fully configured system anyway. EVERY MAME setup needs some games tweaked for keymappings, trackball speed, volume, etc. It simply isn't possible to do that for thousands of games. No frontend can fix that.
Hyperspin is so nice I like to just leave it up and running through the demos. Best demos and animations, bar none.
