OBSERVATIONS:
-The image won’t work with the RPI4, so don’t download because you will waste time.(I will release a RPI4 image soon)
-My system is a RPi3B, with a 64gb class 10 sdcard and will work with RPi 3B+
– The mkarcade driver is disabled.
-The Nintendo DS emulator needs a keyboard for controller configuration. Since the DS is just for 1 person, you can configure both controllers to 1 player, if is that the case.
-The OpenBor emulator also needs a keyboard to first configure the controllers.
– The system is very heavy, some stuttering may happen.
– Ocasional crashes are expected, because AttractMode is heavy and resource hungry. Just reboot.
– Some layouts are very heavy SWF, so a slowdown will be noticiable in some themes.
-Is recommended a cooling method (large heatsinks or fans) to the temp get around 55-60 Celsius and a good power source.
– The image was conceived for 64GB card, almost ready to use, but can be used in any sdcard and be increased to higher storage and add new games and arts.
– I recommend to add roms through WinSCP, because RPi3B has many WIFI drops . https://winscp.net/eng/download.php
– To create or modify Hyperspin themes, use Hypertheme, thats part of the Hyperspin installation pack: https://hyperspin-fe.com/files/file/17585-hyperspin-151-full-package/
– To download the arts, I recommend the torrent from the Hyperpie Project: https://files.hyperpie.appboxes.co/HyperPie-v2-Media_Pi_Version.torrent, but you can download also from emumovies and hyperspin.fe
– The image was compressed with 7zip (https://www.7-zip.org/download.html) and Winrar
FIRST USE:
- A) BURNING THE IMAGE
– Download the image and burn to the sdcard. I use Win32DiskImager: https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
– Place the sdcard in your RPi, connect a keyboard, the HDMI and then the power source to load the system.
– You will need a keyboard connected to the RPi until configure the controller.
- B) CONFIGURING THE WIFI
– Once you configure the controller go to Attract Mode menu. There go to Wifi configuration and configure the Wifi.
- C) EXPANDING THE SYSTEM TO USE THE WHOLE SDCARD
– Go to Attract Mode Setup> Raspberry Pi > Advanced Settings > Expand Filsystem
- D) CONFIGURING CONTROLLERS
– Go to bluetooth if you want to set bluetooth controllers.
– If you will use GPIO controllers, enable mkarcade driver. Just go to Attract Mode Setup> Retropie> drivers and install the mkarcade driver.
– Then, go either Emulation Station or Reset Controllers to set the in game controllers. The reset controllers option will erase any pre-set emulator/game configuration.
- E) CONFIGURING THE CONTROLLER TO USE IN THE MENU
– When the system loads press TAB. Will show a black screen written Configure> Controls. This will open a control configuration tab for THE ATTRACTMODE MENU, this will not work in games.
- F) Changin the aspect ratio of games
– If you want change the Aspect Ratio to 4:3 or 16:9 of your games you have to go to > Atrratc Mode > Configuration editor

Do I need to unzip all the files. I just got the image and not sure what next. I see 61 files. And thank you for all that you do
Thats one big file with the extension .img . The file is compressed and split in several little files. You must go to the first one and, using winrar or 7zip extract the file. the extraction will take several minutes. Then you burn the big .img file in your sdcard

I’m trying to download the Arts torrent but not having any luck. I disabled my anti virus and web security but still no luck. Any ideas?
You can download the image packs from https://hyperspin-fe.com/ and videos from emumovies.com . The original torrent file link is offline, luckily i had a copy, here is the link: https://mega.nz/file/Dwd1xYLI#HVkFA4GGbvPRr9EwAS02x7zWbU1khBXUzU9B4I4tyTs
For those who updated the kernel and are having sound issues, and sound problems with attractmode, here is a solution:
The solution has 2 steps:
The first one is well described in this link: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/26628/audio-issues-after-latest-raspbian-updates-june-2020 and affects emulationstation and retroarch
The solution is, in update your RetroPie-Setup installation.
-use the Audio menu in RetroPie to choose your Audio output (HDMI/Headphones).
-This will set the default Sound card/device for your system, but wouldn’t always solve the problem of missing audio in EmulationStation.
-update the EmulationStation core package – you should have at least version v2.9.2.
-Re-configure your Sound in EmulationStation, depending on how your sound output is configured.
– Edit cmdline.txt and add to /boot/cmdline.txt:
snd_bcm2835.enable_hdmi=1 snd_bcm2835.enable_headphones=1 snd_bcm2835.enable_compat_alsa=1
The second part of the solution is correct the sound issue that affect attractmode especifically:
You must type:
sudo touch ~/.alsoftrc
sudo nano ~/.alsoftrc
then paste this, save, exit:
[alsa]
mmap = false
then:
sudo cp ~/.alsoftrc /etc/openal/alsoft.conf
sudo reboot
They should work. Try this: Enable Launch Display (see how on this video https://mega.nz/folder/e48i3RwY#00RvT3okKd5SZLVNMFvTKA ) and try different emulators with the rom. Normally mame2010 is the one that works, change for the individual game.
