of your mod basement and get a real job and start getting your life on track then this isn't for you and you're on the wrong channel for that my friend the cost of this thing is $300 and before you go down to the comments and complain about the price watch the video first because I'm going to talk about the value and I think that this is actually an amazing price for what you get here and I'll also show you some cheaper alternatives so without further Dilly dallying as my mom would say let's dive into the hyperspin attraction system shall we first things second let's go over what this is and what you'll need to use it this drive runs the program hyperspin attraction and that runs on windows so you'll need a Windows computer to use this any Windows computer will run this though so a desktop PC a laptop a Mini PC any reasonable computer with an updated version of Windows will be good to go the older stuff will run fine on basically any computer Compu even your toaster can play everything up to PS1 Nintendo 64 PSP so if you have an old laptop or whatever you'll still be able to enjoy a ton of stuff but if you want to run the higher end stuff like PS2 GameCube Dreamcast you'll need a bit of a faster PC and for the very high-end stuff like PS3 Xbox 360 Nintendo switch you're going to need a gaming PC of some sort however there are lots of cheap options for getting really good emulation performance my favorite way to use these drives is to have a dedicated Mini PC just for emulation I've reviewed quite a few you can check them out of my channel and I will link to a few good ones at the different price points in the description below you will also want a controller of some sort you can play the games on your keyboard but only monsters do that and you're not a monster I hope so get a controller either a Bluetooth controller or a wireless PC controller or a wired controller I don't care what you use I've reviewed quite a few on my channel if you want to see what they're about and I will link to a few good ones that I like in the description below and that's it that that's what you need the drive a computer and a controller getting set up is a breeze you just plug in the USB cable and the power cable plug it into your computer push the power button and then you'll see the drive and windows open that and you'll see a few folders I recommend following the included instructions at this point there there's just a few drivers and run times and fonts on here that you might need so you might as well just install them the instructions are very clear and easy to follow and it only takes 2 minutes and then you're ready to start up the program and be transported back in time to the world of retro games we're greeted by a super fancy little intro movie that's nice and then we're in the front end so let me give you a quick tour here before we get into the specific specifics as you can see there's a list of stuff on the right hand side these are playlists so you get playlists for all sorts of stuff really there are playlists for individual systems so if you just want to play some Super Nintendo then you could go to the Super Nintendo playlist and here are all the Super Nintendo games every Super Nintendo game ever is in here and each game has a nice little movie preview so you can see what the game looks like you can also press y here to add your games to your favorites list press a to start the game and the game will start right up as you can see there's a nice bezel on the outside of the screen that matches the game that you're playing and the game runs amazing obviously it looks great it plays great you can press L3 and R3 to get the Retro Arch menu where you can save and load your state and do all the other retroarch stuff you could want if you're into that sort of thing and then when you're done playing you can just press start and select at the same time and the game will exit it's all super easy apart from a few exceptions that we'll talk about you don't have to do anything really it's all set up for you everything just works it's quick and snappy and easy and fun there are also playlists for game series for example if you like I don't know Pokemon they they've collected all the Pokemon games into one playlist so you've got all the official Pokemon games and then there's also a bunch of extra versions and ROM hacks this drive is just full of surprises there's so much on here it's baffling there is a lot of love and care that's gone into building these collections I love that it's just fun you can just go right into the system you want but you can also browse around and find all these cool collections that you didn't know you wanted oh and there is some basic options in the front end you can really just toggle the bezels and the shaders that are applied by default for several systems you can adjust things yourself as much as you want in the actual emulators but it's nice that they have these simple options here for people who don't know how to do that stuff and there's so much stuff here you guys you have no idea it would be a multiple hour long video to show you everything so I'm going to have to gloss over a lot but well I'll cover the basics all of the old retro systems are going to be complete on here we're talking old stuff like Atari amstrad CPC Commodore 64 consoles like Nintendo Super Nintendo turbo graphic 16 Sega Genesis Game Boy Game Boy Advance the collections are complete and they are amazing the 1g1 are rom sets that's exactly the way I like them that means one game one ROM so you're not going to get a bunch of duplicate games or weird versions and they'll all be English games with a North American priority except that they have included the different regions for most systems they just put them in different lists this is the best of both worlds you get like Japanese Super Nintendo games under the super famicom list but you also get English games under the regular Super Nintendo list and the games all work instantly no setup required and not only do we get complete collections of the really old stuff we also get complete ROM sets for the early 3D stuff every single PS1 Sega Saturn and Nintendo 64 game is on here okay that that's pretty impressive but also every GameCube game and every Dreamcast game and every PSP game and every Wii game every single game from those systems that's just nuts man just that stuff alone getting access to every GameCube game ever it it just it hurts my brain if I think too hard about it even just getting this thing to use as like a ROM collection if you just want to obtain the ROM so you can copy them over to your other devices that alone makes this thing worth it for me at least uh moving on we don't get every PS2 game but there's a ton on here over a thousand PS2 games that's a lot of PS2 games man and also Xbox 627 Xbox games again all the emulators all set up for you no configuration needed just start up your game and play your game you can set up hotkeys or change the resolution or whatever on a per emulator basis if if you know how to do that but if you don't then don't worry about it just play the games they look great and they work great and then for the higher end stuff now we're getting into very large game sizes 23 PS3 games that that's a fine amount we get 116 Xbox 360 games and these are full games not Xbox Live arcade games full dis games all the best Xbox 360 games are on here and both PS3 and Xbox 360 work great I should mention that obviously your performance and the ability to use upscaling is going to depend on the PC that you're running this on I'm playing this on a mid-range gaming PC with an RTX 3060 if you're on a light gaming PC then you might not get quite this level of performance and if you're on a low-end PC you can forget about this high-end stuff entirely but in terms of the ROMs and the emulators and the system there are zero issues with running this stuff it all works exactly as expected it's just all gathered up in a nice neat package and uh then they have some stuff that I I really don't want to talk about but it's on here so I got to they have PS4 and PS5 games but those aren't actually PS4 and PS5 games those are PC games PC versions of those games and there's also another section of just pure PC games there's 175 PC games in there now I don't want to get into a big thing about what is and isn't piracy and whether or not emulation is piracy I already made a video about this go and watch that if you want to know where I stand so I'm I'm just going to leave it at that there's PC games on here they work but I'm not going to touch these and frankly I wish that they would just leave this sort of stuff off and just put on more like PS2 and Xbox 360 and 3DS games and there is a ton of other stuff on here I can't show it to you all there's just there's too much and frankly I keep on finding new stuff there's pinball emulation all those weird Compu computer systems old Doss games slot machine stuff pretty much any type of emulation you can think of is on here I'm not saying that everything ever is on here but it's pretty darn close this is the most complete emulation collection that I've ever seen when I make videos about these products these emulation drives I always get people in the comments who are like why are they charging money for that you could just do this yourself and they're right but they're also not right because they're wrong they're right because yes you can set this up yourself you can just go download the emulation front end and download all the software and run times and add your own games and do all the box art and video scraping and set up the emulators and make sure everything's all preconfigured to work right away and buy an external hard drive and put the whole setup on the drive and then yeah you'll have this and you didn't have to buy it however they're wrong because not everyone has the skills to do this or the desire to spend time figuring out all the little Parts the internet bandwidth to download freaking 12 terab of retro games or most importantly the time to do any of this I'm a tech dweep I like spending time tinkering with retro emulators but even for me building this would be a daunting task I love when I find a product that's all set up and ready to go the way that I would do it myself so that I don't have to toil over organizing ROM sets and dealing with emulator settings and stuff and what people tend to gloss over is that there's an an actual physical product here th this is a u green hard drive enclosure and a 12 tbte hard drive the cheapest version of both those things on Amazon will set you back 230 bucks this is 280 bucks there's the $20 off coupon 280 so for $50 not having to download 12 freaking terabytes of retro games and set up hyperspin you're just wrong if you think this is a bad value it's not it's an amazing value I I'm glad that this exists for people who want a massive collection of retro games and don't want to have to mess around so that's what I think about it I think it's great not just because the front end is nice a big bright colorful fun Feast for the senses and not just because the games all work great emulators all set up and working perfect and with shaders and bezels where appropriate but also because of how much work has gone into making this and the time that it will save you if you want to do this for yourself it's not perfect but it's dang near close and this is the most impressive emulation drive that I've ever played with and you can buy it on Amazon what a world I'll include a link in the description below if you want to pick one up and that brings us to the end I hope you enjoyed taking a look at the hypers spin attraction system thanks for watching and stuff if you like this video then check out this video my review of the chis cool mod retro Beast a
