How to Make Hyperspin Lists: The quick and easy way

So I spent months trying to figure out how to make lists for Hyperspin. I tried using dir2xml like everyone kept suggesting. It never worked. I grew frustrated and left Hypersin for a while. I went back and thanks to Lashek and Badboybill now know that I was using the wrong dir2xml file.

I’m posting this just to make this resource more accessible. I didn’t know that you could do this so easily and avoid clrmamepro. It’s a great resource for making lists for unsupported systems.

If your games have weird names (atomiswave for example) you’ll have to edit the description in the xml because it sets the rom name as the description. You also won’t have all that other additional information that you usually have (such as the year). But definitely easier to start from than a blank file.

Directions:

  1. Place the Exe in your folder
  2. … execute the file
  3. Place the file in the database folder for that system and name it to match that system
  4. If you have wheel art, videos, and themes you will have to rename these to match your roms
