This is a 12TB Attract Mode based frontend, branded by its creator as HyperSpin Attraction. It uses Attract Mode as the frontend engine while adopting a HyperSpin style presentation, layout, and structure. It is not a HyperSpin installation, does not use HyperSpin core files, and should not be confused with an official HyperSpin build.

SCORE 7.5 / 10

Missing media, and a couple of games did not boot up on the few we tested.

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 being shared was sent to Arcade Punks approximately 18 months ago as a fully built system under the name HyperSpin Attraction. Despite the name, this setup is Attract Mode based, not HyperSpin.

The system is being released exactly as received, without modification, rebuilding, or ongoing support. Any references within the drive to updates, support, or contact details relate to the original creator and are included solely because they were present on the drive at the time it was supplied.

What This Release Actually Is

This is a 12TB Attract Mode based frontend, branded by its creator as HyperSpin Attraction.

It uses Attract Mode as the frontend engine while adopting a HyperSpin style presentation, layout, and structure. It is not a HyperSpin installation, does not use HyperSpin core files, and should not be confused with an official HyperSpin build.

Arcade Punks is releasing this as a base platform, not a single all in one dump.

Our goal is simple:

  • Give you the foundation first
  • Let you expand it gradually
  • Avoid forcing everyone to grab and extract 12TB in one hit

System Overview

The full system contains over 100,000 games, with around 40,000 visible at Level 2 navigation. This is due to clone grouping, where multiple versions of the same title are grouped together.

Additional versions, regions, and variants are accessible at Level 3 navigation.

This is a Windows based Attract Mode system designed to run directly from the drive once the required components are installed.

Recommended Hardware

As outlined in the original documentation included on the drive:

  • Intel i5 10th generation or later recommended
  • RTX 1060 or better
  • Fully up to date Windows installation
  • Latest graphics drivers installed

Lower powered systems may run parts of the setup, but this is a heavy frontend with video themes, artwork, and multiple emulators running underneath.

Installation and First Run Notes

The drive includes a full Help_faqs directory containing installers and documentation required for proper operation.

The system relies on:

  • DirectX 9
  • Microsoft .NET Framework components
  • Visual C++ Runtimes
  • Bebas Neue font

All required installers are included on the drive exactly as supplied.

Do not delete files unless you fully understand what they do. This system is tightly interconnected and removing files can break multiple platforms at once.

Windows Firewall prompts when launching certain PC based games are normal. Allow them when prompted.

Navigation, Clones, and Controls

Navigation within the system is divided into three levels:

  • Level 1: System selection
  • Level 2: Main game lists
  • Level 3: Clone and variant selection

Clone grouping can be toggled via the system menu using TAB on keyboard or L3 + R3 on an Xbox style controller.

Game exit behaviour varies depending on emulator:

  • Default exit is Select + Start on controller
  • Many emulators exit using the Q key
  • Some require Q + S
  • Certain arcade platforms exit using the right analogue stick due to emulator specific behaviour

These are not faults. They are emulator design differences.

Antivirus and Security Warnings

Some executables within this system may trigger false positives in antivirus software. This is common with cracked or modified emulator files.

The original documentation advises adding the drive to antivirus exclusions if required. Arcade Punks does not modify or replace any files and recommends users make their own informed decisions.

Download Format and Availability

Due to the extreme size of this release:

  • This base drive is available only via Usenet and RapidGator
  • Torrent distribution is not available at launch
  • A torrent release may happen later, but there are no guarantees

Breaking this system into manageable stages allows users to avoid bandwidth, storage, and extraction nightmares.

Planned Add Ons and Expansions

This release is intentionally structured as a base system.

Following this drop, Arcade Punks will be releasing/have released:

This will then give you everything (including collections) found in the wheels except the following, which will also be releasd:-

All optional. All modular. No obligation to download everything. (You may need to remove some hard coded from the menu if you do not download).

Final Notes

This release is about preservation, access, and choice.

It is not an official HyperSpin build. It is not an official Attract Mode release. It is a snapshot of a large scale system shared exactly as it was received.

If you are new to Attract Mode based frontends, take your time. If you are experienced, you already know what kind of system this is.

Either way, welcome to one of the largest Attract Mode based frontend systems ever released on Arcade Punks.

  1. Hi.
    Thank you so much for adding this huge collection.

    Just downloaded the Kinhank Base package. “001”.
    During extraction there is a an unknown error on “001.Base.part053.rar”
    Tried re-downloading “001.Base.part053.rar” but still getting the same error.
    Downloading through JDownloader.

    Thanks in advance

    1. Its 12tb dude…. Thats a big ole chunk on a few seedboxes, expensive for us – the money we make from ads barely cover the seedboxes as it is

  3. A few questions:

    Assuming I want to get it all, which hard drive (brand and size) do you recommend?

    Is the drive tied to one machine or can I attach it to my NAS to be available to all my machines on the network?

    If it can be attached to a NAS, what files need to be installed on a machine and which ones on the NAS?

    Thanks.

  4. Maybe consider torrenting one part at a time vs. all 12 TB. Starting with part one of course. I appreciate all you do. Thanks for considering it. The patient downloader.

    2. Torrent Downloading far to slow you want to use NZB for downloading alot better and it automatically repairs corrupted file downloads just get a Decent Usenet providers include Newshosting and Eweka for high retention and completion, or budget-friendly options like Frugal Usenet. and with that I setup with SABnzbd downloader and configue it with nzb provider

  9. Hi.
    In directory is 889 files
    There are 889 files in the …Microsoft XBOX\boxart\ directory (which suggests that many available games) — 812 logos and 914 snaps — but in the roms directory I only have 41 files. Has the content been trimmed down, or did I fail to extract something?

  11. Hi everyone, I downloaded the base file with NZDB, but the 001.Base.part035.rar file is problematic. How can I obtain it separately? Has anyone else encountered this error? Could there be a problem with the source file?

    1. I finally finished after a lot of effort, but parts 131, 132, and 151 aren’t downloading. Does anyone have a link, or will this fix the problem if there is one?

  17. Please can you guys post some Amazon links to some budget friendly mini-pcs that can handle running all of this, especially the X360 and Wii emulation. I saw one popular brand has issues with WiFi and Bluetooth interference/range on some models.

    Wish this had more original XBOX games, but the rest definately makes up for it 8).

  18. I was able to download the pack without issue and I can run it and see all the systems and the number of games listed
    However as soon as I select a system it goes into the system and none of the games are there, then when I come out the system shows no games for each one I went in to.
    Any advice?

  19. I need some advice on the Kinhank 12tb build.
    I tried using the newshosting download but kept running into issues so I used the Gator download and got all the parts without issue.
    Do I need to extract each of the segments for it to work correctly or is it supposed to work with them compressed?
    I’m asking because it’s taking a long time (well over an hour) for each of the first 2 files so far so if your head to go thru all 200+ it’s going to be a very very very long time.
    Am I missing something somewhere?

  21. Is the base image still available on Usenet? I’m late to the game on this one and it appears there are ‘many’ missing files now. My downloader got all of the par files however its still not rebuilding. I tried multiple apps, files say encrypted… I use a premium Usenet service with many years of retention so I know thats not the issue. Has anyone recently downloaded a complete image without issue?

  22. Follow up.. I figured out the issue.. a bug within my client. I know have the complete 100% base pack however, this is full of issues. There are many systems including ‘Nintendo’ when you go into the ‘second level’ there is nothing on the wheel to select. I seen many of these within the base pack. Do the other packs fix this? If not this is broken.. Appreciate an update from others on your experience.

  23. Getting closer.. think I figured this out and will share with everyone.. the base pack shows everything some systems with x amount of games whiles other ‘zero’ games. however, to narrow it down go to collection folder and you will see the systems and games that actually work.. Tested Colecovision and no issues. I’ll see what happens when I DL other packs to this build. Hope I am correct. I still love the build and appreciate the hard work of the creators.

  24. IMPORTANT: This Base contains frontend menus/romlists for systems whose ROMs are supplied in later add-on packs. Empty wheels are expected until the corresponding add-on is installed

  25. Sending a big Thank you! This is a great build if you have the space to spare, I put it on a 20TB just in case more add-ons happen down the line- who knows.. Working on the final add-ons this week. Looking forward to the upcoming Pack 13! Hoping its released this month.
