Ultimate Nvidia Shield Retro Console Build with Hyperspin: 2024 Overview and Update

Introduction

Welcome to the latest and updated version of our Hyperspin build for the Nvidia Shield! In collaboration with Mr. F's Arcade Cave, I’ve dedicated the past year to perfecting this project, and we’re still actively working on it. Our goal is to create the best possible gaming experience by meticulously reviewing each game to ensure everything functions properly and is curated to include only the most enjoyable titles.

Curated Game Selection

We are focused on optimizing our game library, restricting it to the best selections—around 70 to 80 titles for each system. This means you won’t be overwhelmed with thousands of ROMs that most users won’t play. Instead, we offer targeted collections that consist of only the top games available.

New Features and Updates

Let’s dive into some of the new features and updates included in this build:

Revamped Wheel Art: The newest wheel art is presented in the proper formatting and follows a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Android Gaming Support: No major changes here; it remains contingent on having the appropriate games available.
Themed Bezels: We’ve created console-themed and game-themed bezels to enhance the visual experience. These bezels are available once transferred into the internal storage of your Nvidia Shield.
Arcade Classics Rewind: This feature collects various arcade games that didn't fit into other categories, curating a unique collection of often-overlooked titles.

In addition to this, the game selection has been organized by arcade genre, transitioning through different gaming eras—from Atari Classics to more contemporary systems.

We’re continually updating our games based on their popularity. While well-known systems like Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo boast larger libraries, lesser-known systems may feature a curated list of just the top 25 or 50 titles to maintain quality.

We’ve also successfully integrated additional consoles such as the Neo Geo and Geo CD into the build. This careful curation ensures that players can enjoy their favorites without the clutter of an excessive ROM library.

Final Thoughts

This build is a work in progress and requires patience as we continue to refine and perfect it. Due to performance issues, some emulators like Sega Model 1, 2, and 3 have been excluded as they simply don’t perform well on the Nvidia Shield. However, we are committed to delivering the best experience possible for retro gaming.
