The complete 12TB Kinhank HyperSpin Attraction build has been fully re-uploaded to usenet, missing files repaired on RapidGator and download and checked, and for the first time every part of it lives in one place. The base drive and all seventeen add-on packs, including the long-awaited PC and PlayStation 2 packs, are now gathered under this single post. If you missed parts first time round, lost track of which numbers you already had, or never started because the whole thing felt like a scavenger hunt across a dozen articles, this is the one to bookmark.

Arcade Systems

SCORE 7.5 / 10

Some media is missing, and a couple of the games we tested did not boot. Across more than 100,000 titles that is not unexpected, but it is worth knowing before you start.

Important Notice Before Downloading

This release is not associated with, endorsed by, or supported by the official HyperSpin team, the HyperSpin Attraction team, or the Attract Mode project. The drive was sent to Arcade Punks as a fully built system under the name HyperSpin Attraction, and despite that name it is Attract Mode based. It does not use HyperSpin core files and should not be confused with an official HyperSpin build. It uses Attract Mode as the frontend engine and adopts a HyperSpin style presentation, layout and structure.

Everything is shared exactly as it was received, with no modification, rebuilding or ongoing support. Any references on the drive to updates, support or contact details belong to the original creator and are only there because they were on the drive when it was supplied.

System Overview

With every pack installed, the system holds over 100,000 games, with around 40,000 visible at Level 2 navigation. The gap is down to clone grouping, where multiple versions of the same title are grouped together, and the extra versions, regions and variants sit one level deeper. It is a Windows based Attract Mode system built to run directly from the drive once the required components are installed.

The release is split into a base drive plus seventeen add-on packs, so you can build the foundation first and expand at your own pace rather than downloading and extracting 12TB in one go. Every add-on is optional. If you skip a pack, you may need to remove some hard-coded entries from the menu for systems you do not have.

Pack Contents Size
001 Base drive (frontend, emulators, core systems) 180GB
002 Arcade, Laserdisc, FBA, fruit machines, classic consoles, collections, PC-era 352GB

004 Rare Nintendo hardware, Taito arcade platforms, curiosities 275GB
005 Pinball, disc-era consoles, ScummVM, collections 160GB

013 Sony PlayStation 2 1.23TB
014 Sony PlayStation 3 239GB
015 Sony PSP 420GB

017 Nintendo Wii 1.05TB
018 Nintendo Wii U 329GB

Recommended Hardware

The original documentation on the drive recommends an Intel i5 10th generation or later, a GTX 1060 or better, a fully up to date Windows installation and the latest graphics drivers. Lower powered machines can run parts of it, but this is a heavy frontend with video themes, artwork and a lot of emulators running underneath, and the later packs (PS3, Wii U, Xbox 360, TeknoParrot and PC) will want proper hardware behind them.

Installation and First Run

Start with the base drive. It includes a full Help_faqs directory with the installers and documentation needed for it to run properly. The system relies on DirectX 9, Microsoft .NET Framework components, Visual C++ Runtimes and the Bebas Neue font, and every installer is included exactly as supplied.

Every add-on installs the same way. Extract the pack and copy its contents to the root of your existing 12TB Kinhank drive, and let Windows merge folders and overwrite the Arcade folder when it asks. Nothing needs rebuilding or reconfiguring, and no pack overwrites content from another. Installing in numerical order keeps everything consistent. After each pack, give the frontend time to scan and settle, especially after the larger drops, where indexing takes noticeably longer. No add-on will work standalone without the base drive.

Plan your storage before you start. The larger packs need space to download and then roughly the same again to extract, so a decent, reasonably fast drive will save you a lot of pain. Files are supplied in multiple segments, so you can start extracting and using content without waiting on one enormous archive.

Do not delete files unless you fully understand what they do. The system is tightly interconnected, and removing the wrong file can break several platforms at once. Windows Firewall prompts when launching some PC-based games are normal, so allow them.

Navigation, Clones and Controls

Navigation works on three levels: Level 1 is system selection, Level 2 is the main game lists, and Level 3 is clone and variant selection. You can toggle clone grouping from the system menu using TAB on keyboard or L3 + R3 on an Xbox style controller.

How you exit a game depends on the emulator. The default is Select + Start on a controller, many emulators use the Q key, some need Q + S, and certain arcade platforms exit with the right analogue stick. These are differences in how the emulators are designed, not faults.

Antivirus and Security Warnings

Some executables in the system may trigger false positives in antivirus software, which is common with cracked or modified emulator files. The original documentation suggests adding the drive to your antivirus exclusions if needed. Arcade Punks has not modified or replaced any files, so make your own informed decision.

Add-On 002: Arcade, Collections and Classic Systems (352GB)

The first add-on widens both the arcade and console sides of the build, with a strong lean towards curated collections, specialist systems and niche platforms that most builds skip. It adds expanded arcade systems and variants, Laserdisc and Daphne titles, Final Burn Alpha and HBMAME, and fruit machines alongside other MAME-based collections. On the console side you get classic hardware from NEC, MSX, Intellivision, Vectrex and Fairchild Channel F, among others. It also brings series collections for Donkey Kong, Mega Man, Street Fighter hacks, Streets of Rage, Pokémon Classics, Super Smash Bros and Ghosts ‘n Goblins, and PC-era platforms including MS-DOS, Flash games, Java games and magazines. It all sits inside the existing wheels as if it had always been there.

Add-On 003: Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo (345GB)

Pack three is mostly Nintendo, with the original Microsoft Xbox as well. It fills out the console library from the Game & Watch era right through to the 3DS, including the hacks folders for tinkerers:

  • Microsoft XBOX
  • Nintendo 3DS
  • Nintendo 64
  • Nintendo BS-X Satellaview
  • Nintendo DS
  • Nintendo Entertainment System
  • Nintendo Entertainment System Hacks
  • Nintendo Famicom
  • Nintendo Famicom Disk System
  • Nintendo Game & Watch
  • Nintendo Game Boy
  • Nintendo Game Boy Advance
  • Nintendo Game Boy Advance Hacks
  • Nintendo Game Boy Color

Add-On 004: Rare Hardware and Arcade Networks (275GB)

This is where the build moves well past standard console libraries into obscure Nintendo hardware, arcade network systems, handheld curiosities and cult favourites. The Taito platforms are a particular highlight for arcade fans, bringing in PC-based cabinet hardware that rarely turns up anywhere else:

  • Nintendo 64DD
  • Nintendo Pokémon Mini
  • Nintendo Prototypes
  • Nintendo Satellaview
  • Nintendo Sufami Turbo
  • Nintendo Super Famicom
  • Nintendo Super Game Boy

  • Taito Type X2
  • Technos Nintendo
  • Tiger Handheld Electronics
  • Touhou Project

Add-On 005: Pinball, Disc Consoles and Collections (160GB)

Pack five adds depth rather than bulk. The pinball side is a big win, with Pinball Arcade, FX2 and FX3 giving you a choice of style and table library. Sega CD and 32X round off Sega’s add-on hardware, and 3DO and CD-i cover the more experimental disc era. PopCap and Rayman bring easy pick-up-and-play charm, Pokémon Hacks offers alternative takes on the classics, and ScummVM adds a completely different flavour with point-and-click adventures:

  • PacMAME
  • Panasonic 3DO
  • Pecom 64
  • Phantom System
  • Philips CD-i
  • Philips VG 5000
  • Pinball Arcade
  • Pinball FX2
  • Pinball FX3
  • Pokemon Hacks
  • PopCap
  • Rayman Collection
  • Sammy Atomiswave
  • Samsung Gamboy
  • ScummVM
  • Sega 32X
  • Sega CD

Add-On 006: Sega, SNK, Sharp and Sony (253GB)

The last of the multi-system packs is also one of the most satisfying. Sega gets serious coverage across several generations, from the SG-1000 and Mark III up through the Saturn and on to high-end arcade boards such as Model 2, Model 3, Naomi, Hikaru, Triforce, RingEdge and RingWide. SNK fans get the Neo Geo CD and both Pocket systems, and Sharp’s Japanese computers are well represented. There are also plenty of hack folders and mini-console sets for anyone who likes alternative takes on familiar games:

  • Sega Game Gear
  • Sega Genesis
  • Sega Genesis Hacks
  • Sega Genesis Mini
  • Sega Hikaru
  • Sega Mark 3
  • Sega Master System
  • Sega Master System Tec Toy
  • Sega Mega Drive

  • Sega RingWide
  • Sega Saturn
  • Sega SG-1000
  • Sega Triforce
  • Sharp MZ-2500
  • Sharp X1
  • Sharp X68000
  • Sinclair ZX Spectrum
  • SNES CD MSU-1
  • SNK Neo Geo CD
  • SNK Neo Geo Pocket

  • Sony PlayStation 4
  • Sony PlayStation 5
  • Sony PocketStation
  • Sord M5
  • Super Mario World Hacks
  • Super Metroid Hacks
  • Super Nintendo Classic Edition
  • Super Nintendo Entertainment System

From pack seven onwards, each add-on focuses on a single system and goes deep on it.

Add-On 007: Sega Dreamcast (174GB)

The Dreamcast gets a full, dedicated library in CHD format, which keeps storage efficient without hurting compatibility. It covers Japanese, European and USA releases, with multi-disc games properly organised and regional variants included where they make sense. The Dreamcast bridged classic arcade design and modern 3D, and many of its games are near-perfect home versions of coin-op titles, so it fits naturally into a build that already celebrates arcade hardware. Highlights include Shenmue (all discs and regional variants), Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, Crazy Taxi 1 and 2, Skies of Arcadia, Jet Set Radio, Soul Calibur, Marvel vs Capcom 1 and 2, the Street Fighter III series, Virtua Fighter 3tb, Power Stone 1 and 2, Daytona USA, House of the Dead 2, Resident Evil Code Veronica and Phantasy Star Online.

Add-On 008: MAME (600GB)

This is the monster arcade drop, and it turns the build into a proper arcade archive. It is based on a modern MAME set from the 0.228 era and focuses on playability and broad coverage rather than preservation-only dumps. Hardware coverage runs from early golden-age boards through Capcom CPS, CPS2 and CPS3, SNK and Neo Geo, Sega Model 2, Model 3, Naomi, Naomi 2 and Triforce, late-era racing and lightgun platforms, rhythm and music cabinets, and Japan-only boards.

The headline games are all here. Racing fans get OutRun, OutRun 2, OutRun 2 SP, OutRun 2 Special Tours, Daytona USA and the Initial D series. Lightgun fans get Time Crisis, Time Crisis 3, Time Crisis 4, The House of the Dead 3 and The House of the Dead 4. The fighter and shooter line-up covers Virtua Fighter 4, Evo and Final Tuned, Soul Calibur II and III, the Street Fighter III series, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Ikaruga, Raiden III and IV, Crazy Taxi High Roller, After Burner Climax, Gauntlet Dark Legacy and Power Stone 2. With the Dreamcast pack installed, many home ports now sit alongside their original arcade versions. Because of its size, allow extra time for copying and the first scan.

Add-On 009: Microsoft Xbox 360 (480GB)

The Xbox 360 pack takes the build into the HD era with a broad, recognisable library covering shooters, racers, RPGs, fighters, sports and open-world games. Headliners include Red Dead Redemption (Disc 1 and 2) with Undead Nightmare, Halo 3, Halo 4, Halo Reach, Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary, Gears of War 2, 3 and Judgment, Forza Motorsport 2, Burnout Revenge, Midnight Club Los Angeles, Need for Speed Carbon and ProStreet, Street Fighter X Tekken, Tekken 6, Dead Space, Resident Evil 4 and 6, Diablo III, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, Project Gotham Racing 3 and 4, Crackdown 2, Skate, SSX, F.E.A.R. 2 and Prototype. On top of those you get FIFA World Cup editions, NBA and NFL entries, and Dragon Ball Z and Naruto titles. Xbox 360 games are much bigger than earlier ROMs, so check your free space, and set up the emulator to suit your hardware.

Add-On 010: Nintendo GameCube (760GB)

The GameCube library comes in compressed GCZ format, so make sure your emulator setup supports it. The first-party line-up is outstanding: Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mario Kart Double Dash, Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi’s Mansion, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time Master Quest, Metroid Prime and Prime 2 Echoes, Animal Crossing, F-Zero GX, Star Fox Adventures and Assault, Pikmin 1 and 2, and Kirby Air Ride.

Third-party support is just as strong, with Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil Zero, Code Veronica X, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, Beyond Good & Evil, TimeSplitters 2 and Future Perfect, Soul Calibur II, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Need for Speed Underground 2, Burnout 2: Point of Impact, Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Tales of Symphonia. For house parties there is the Mario Party series, Mario Power Tennis, Mario Superstar Baseball, Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2, Wave Race: Blue Storm, SSX Tricky, Def Jam: Fight for NY, WWE Day of Reckoning and WrestleMania XIX.

Add-On 011: PC (2.72TB Extracted)

The biggest single pack in the build, and the one that changes what the build is. This is a curated PC library spanning AAA releases, cult favourites, indie gems, fighters and racers, which takes the project well beyond emulation. The AAA list alone is remarkable: Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring Deluxe Edition, Grand Theft Auto V, Red Dead Redemption 2, Sekiro Shadows Die Twice, The Witcher 3, Devil May Cry 5, Doom Eternal, God of War, Halo Reach, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard and No Man’s Sky Beyond.

Indie and cult picks include Cuphead, Broforce, Hades, Blazing Chrome, CrossCode, Shovel Knight, Streets of Rage 4, Streets of Rage Remake, Guacamelee, A Hat in Time and AM2R. You will need 2.72TB free for the extracted pack alone, plus room for the download.

Add-On 012: Sony PlayStation (480GB)

A proper PSX-era library in CHD format, with multi-disc releases where you would expect them. The heavy hitters include Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX, Gran Turismo and Gran Turismo 2 (Arcade and Simulation), Resident Evil: Director’s Cut, Resident Evil 2: Dual Shock Edition, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Code Veronica X, and Parasite Eve 1 and 2. For arcade fans there are Tekken 1 and 2, Guilty Gear, Marvel Super Heroes, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes, Rival Schools, Metal Slug X and R-Type Delta. The variety that made the system special is well represented too, with Ridge Racer, Ridge Racer Revolution, Rage Racer, R4, Grand Theft Auto, GTA 2, GTA: London 1969, Syphon Filter 3, Medal of Honor and Underground, and Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee and Exoddus.

Add-On 013: Sony PlayStation 2 (1.23TB)

One of the biggest individual additions to the collection, spanning multiple regions and almost every genre. The mainstream hits are all here: GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas, Need for Speed: Most Wanted (including Black Edition), Carbon and Hot Pursuit 2, Gran Turismo 4 Prologue, Max Payne 1 and 2, Hitman 2, Contracts and Blood Money, Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, Resident Evil 4 and Outbreak, Silent Hill 3, Scarface, The Godfather, Mafia, True Crime 1 and 2, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Freedom Fighters, Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance and Soulcalibur II. There is also a long list of licensed games, including Spider-Man 1 and 2, Ultimate Spider-Man, Batman: Vengeance, X-Men Legends, The Incredibles, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars Episode III, Terminator 3 and Justice League Heroes.

Sports fans are especially well served. You get FIFA and World Cup editions, several years of Madden, NHL, NBA 2K and NBA Live, NFL 2K3, NFL Blitz, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, MLB 2K and Roland Garros 2005, plus club-specific football games for Arsenal, Chelsea, Leeds United, Juventus, AC Milan and Hamburg. The best part is the deep cuts, with Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, American Chopper, Monster Garage, Pimp My Ride, MTV Celebrity Deathmatch, DJ Decks & FX, World Poker Tour and thousands more you will have forgotten existed. You need 1.23TB free to download and the same again to extract.

Add-On 014: Sony PlayStation 3 (239GB)

A tightly curated PS3 collection built around quality and replay value. The blockbusters include God of War III, Uncharted 2 and 3, GTA IV Complete Edition, GTA V, Demon’s Souls, Mass Effect 2, Sleeping Dogs, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 and The Wolf Among Us. The digital arcade revivals of the era are covered with After Burner Climax, OutRun Online Arcade, Hard Corps: Uprising, Galaga Legions DX, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, Shatter and PixelJunk SideScroller. Fighters and stylish action come from Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate, Soul Calibur IV and V, Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown, Dragon’s Crown, Catherine, Lollipop Chainsaw and Afro Samurai, and Sony’s platforming side from the Ratchet & Clank Trilogy, Tools of Destruction, Into the Nexus, Rayman Origins and Ridge Racer 7. Expect the first scan to take a while.

Add-On 015: Sony PSP (420GB)

Around 855 games, which makes this one of the broadest specialist packs in the build. The PSP set out to put console-scale gaming in your pocket, and this library shows how well it did that. The big names include God of War: Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta, GTA: Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and Portable Ops, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, Dissidia and Dissidia 012, Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Persona 3 Portable, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, Tekken 6, Tekken: Dark Resurrection, Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max, Burnout Legends, Gran Turismo, OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast, Wipeout Pure and Pulse, and Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters.

Add-On 016: TeknoParrot (278GB)

Around 240 modern arcade titles from PC-based cabinet hardware, which traditional arcade emulators cannot run. This set comes from a build that is around 18 months old, so a few of the newest TeknoParrot additions are missing, but adding newer titles later is straightforward. Racing is the standout, with the Initial D Arcade Stage series, Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune, Daytona Championship USA-era titles, GRID arcade variants, Wacky Races, R-Tuned, Dirty Drivin’ and Mario Kart Arcade GP DX. The fighters include arcade versions of Tekken 7, Street Fighter IV, BlazBlue, King of Fighters, Guilty Gear and Under Night In-Birth, along with Persona 4 Arena, Skullgirls, Chaos Breaker, Blade Strangers and Pokkén Tournament. Japanese exclusives such as Darius Burst, Senko no Ronde, Project Diva and Shining Force Cross complete the pack. Some games may need individual configuration depending on your controls and setup.

Add-On 017: Nintendo Wii (1.05TB)

Hundreds of Wii titles in WBFS format, covering the whole character of the motion-control era. First-party highlights include Mario Kart Wii, Mario Party 8 and 9, Mario Strikers Charged, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Kirby’s Epic Yarn, Kirby’s Return to Dream Land, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Metroid Other M, and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. Bigger third-party franchises include Call of Duty: Black Ops, Modern Warfare Reflex Edition and World at War, GoldenEye 007, Dead Space Extraction, Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop, Monster Hunter Tri, Manhunt 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. For parties there are Just Dance, DDR Hottest Party, Carnival Games, Game Party and the Mario & Sonic Olympic Games series. The darker side of the console is covered by Cursed Mountain, House of the Dead Overkill, Lost in Shadow, Far Cry Vengeance and Ghostbusters: The Video Game.

Add-On 018: Nintendo Wii U (329GB)

The Wii U was overlooked in its time, but it had a superb library, and many of these games went on to be huge hits on the Switch. The pack includes Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Super Smash Bros for Wii U, New Super Mario Bros U, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD, Splatoon and Pokkén Tournament. GamePad-driven multiplayer, where one player sees the game differently from everyone else, still makes these a great fit for local sessions.

Download Format and Availability

The base drive and every add-on are available via Usenet and RapidGator. All packs are split into multiple segments, so you can grab and extract them in stages. Start with the base, add the packs you actually want, and build the system at a pace that suits your bandwidth and storage.

Final Notes

This release is about preservation, access and choice. It is not an official HyperSpin build or an official Attract Mode release. It is a snapshot of a very large system, shared exactly as it was received, and now available complete in one place. If you are new to Attract Mode based frontends, take your time with it. If you are experienced, you already know what you are looking at.
