I am building a Mame cabinet and am including pinball in it. I love the recreations of the classic pinball games and I just didnt feel like a game cabinet would be complete without including pinball as a wheel item.

I am using HyperSpin. Yes, HyperSpin. It works and launches fine. (respectfully, dont tell me to use hyperpin. It is after all a mame cabinet first and foremost and I dont need two frontends...pinball launches just fine from the Hyperspin main menu). Problem is I cant find a decent theme anywhere! I can find the wheel art and screenshots and preview videos. Just not a good (horizontal) theme.

This one on youtube is amazing, but I cant find anything this cool anywhere.

Can someone point me in the right direction where I can find some sexy pinball themes?

All help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm doing exactly the same thing. I was researching history of video games & ran up on this cat that converted a Computer Space into a HyperSpin System. He practically has every working rom for every system you could think of. Goes by the name of MechanicalArcade, just google it for his site. I've contacted him & he's willing to share, but waiting to hear back from him. He has many themes which he created himself, which are not availabe anywhere else. Among them, an awesome theme for pinball. I think his theme is called Pinball Classics. Also has a customized daphne with support for 4 or 5 new games (not the singe games). Here's the link on youtube:



Check out his site when you get the chance, very interesting read. Hope this helps & if he sends you the theme first, please bump me over a copy...

Why dont you use hypertheme and make your own themes? It works just fine.
Ps. download the latest version from hyperspins homepage. ds.

That's what i used....comes with the frontend, + grabbed the update. Can be time consuming, especially when i'm adding 35 systems. Alot of good themes out there, including the default ones, but no themes for future pinball or visual pinball 8/9 & others, so it takes some time to get them to the quality of the others. HyperTheme rocks, you can do custom animations, alot of features. Definately recommend it

Honestly, it would take about 5-10 minutes to put together a good Visual Pinball and Future Pinball theme. Perhaps if I get some free time sometime I'll put a couple together.

Thanks Dazz, 5-10 minutes for someone with your skill, 5-10 days for me

Can you split the Visual Pinball up, Make one for VP8 & VP9 when you get time? Thanks Dazz

Why would you differentiate VP8 & VP9? You can combine VP8 & VP9 gamelists and both would appear seamless in HS. This isn't going to happen anytime soon. Hell, I don't even have time to sleep right now, much less look for artwork and make themes.

Not even 5-10 Minutes That's cool. Same reason i think FP tables & VP tables should be separated in Hyperpin. Just personal preference. That & i have 375 games for VP9 & 560 VP8 tables, why would i want them all in one list with multiples of practically every table? Splitting up gives a more managable list. I will get around to finishing up my themes soon enough. Thanks

5-10 minutes is to actually build the theme... that has nothing to do with getting the artwork, editing artwork or creating new artwork.
