I've watched a bunch of these because I have a big arcade cabinet too. Good job picking out the smaller but practical issues and setups with the control panel. It's hard together right the first time!

@TheHoff4K 11 ай бұрын

I’m looking into a steering wheel setup now that I can use on this and my pc and my son can use on his PlayStation 4 for GT Sport. I want to duplicate the arcade screen and just swap the cables to my PC when I want to play more graphic intensive games as this only has a GTX 1660. Need to save a bit to get a Fantec GT DD Pro with a Next level racing setup to hold it. Basement finishing is taking all my money.

Man, this is wicked cool! I'd love to have something like this. It will be an incredibly long time from now but it would be cool. I'm not great at filming anything I get or buy so the likely hood of me recording it is slim but it's nice to see more of these machines this year cause I'm wondering how they're looking and all that. The joysticks and buttons look amazing! I'm seriously torn between the two player and 4 because honestly it will be mostly just myself and maybe my niece when she is big enough to enjoy it I highly doubt I'll need a 4 player but who knows. I'm thinking it will be like 3-4 years minimum before I'm able to get one of these, mostly due to space.

You brought up some good sensible recommendations, especially with not including the flight stick. I immediately noticed in other KZfaqr videos that the flight stick covered part of the screen, which is a no go for me - and it had significant input lag. Do the classic games (that played on CRT monitors) have scanline filters as an option?

@TheHoff4K Жыл бұрын

Yes scanline filters are an option. The classic games play very well when using theb4 way joystick or track ball. I do find the Newer packman battle 4 player game is hard when using the 8 way joystick. Also I kinda wish I requested a better GPU and maybe CPU. I find injustice has a bit of lag and other newer games might too. I also want to add things to stream so I might just do a 2 pc setup for that using my custom PC.

I see MK 11 is mapped to your sticks and buttons, much better than a controller which kills the arcade experience. Did it come this way, or did you have to set it up and map the buttons? What i read previously was that steam games had to be played with a controller, so i'm now a bit more optimistic. Also, I see mk11 was right in your game library without having to separately go to steam etc, also killimg the arcade experience immersion. How did you get it in your arcade library? Another review i saw the player went to steam each time, i dont want to do that and would rather integrate into the game library in the software. Appreciate any feedback you can provide to help me :)

@TheHoff4K 2 жыл бұрын

This machine came like this with the games. There is a program that runs to map some games for the joystick and buttons and then another program runs when the games closes to close the mapping program. But new games will run from steam. And I found the new Ninja turtles games likes steam to be running to work well.

@TheHoff4K 10 ай бұрын

It comes in a large wooden crate. There were blankets all over the machine to protect it. The accessories were taped and wrapped up within the blankets. The driver was in a hurry so I didn’t film the unboxing. It is in my garage for now till my basement is finished. But the controller panel comes off with just a couple of screws and wires to disconnect. Then it goes through doors sideways easily.

Yea not a fan of the LED joysticks. Buttons are ok. I might work on a sim racing rig once all the other projects are finished. I would switch it between my computer and the arcade machine. I do want to add in a better GPU as it is not enough if you play newer PC games.

Hello, Newbie here considering a purchase w EHA but hesitant due to the research I’ve been doing on UTube. Want to buy but been seeing issues w emulators running slow or not running at all w certain games. I’m also not interested in utilizing any type of external controllers or joysticks during gameplay which I hear can be an issue at times too. I want to experience all gameplay using the control panel on the cabinet to have that retro arcade experience all the time. I hear this can’t be done w certain games including some classic arcade games, console games and hand held gaming devices like the PlayStation, Nintendo NES Wii, PSP, GameBoy Advance or Nintendo DS. Is this true? If so, that would be a huge game changer for me as far as making a purchase is concerned. Would it be possible to do a demo of some of my faves and give me your honest review of the gameplay? Thanks! -Joe

@TheHoff4K Жыл бұрын

You can give me a list and I can see what I can do. But I will say all classic arcade games and Consoles up to the Nintendo 64 use the Joystick and control panel. Nintendo 64 on up have the analog sticks and use an Xbox controller. Wii uses Wii controllers and the light bar. I have not tried to connect the switch controller but heard you can. I have used an Xbox controller and added new switch games and played them. I have no issues with games that I played so far. For newer PC games you may want a better GPU than the 1660 Super that came with mine. I also added an other 16tb hard drive to keep adding games. Newest games I have are both Spider-man games, High on life, and the newest Pokémon games on switch. The PlayStation for most games works the best with the Xbox controllers. I also have no steering wheel for racing games yet.

They can also add in the pinball buttons on the sides and LED graphic on the kick panel. It will all cost more but such a great option. There is a EHA facebook group to also help you out too.
