Thank you, that feedback is encouraging, I think I will do more as a result. :)

Your cabinetry work is second to none!

Thanks for the feedback. I love to see that final design, sounds crazy to 50" screens on top of each other, hard to picture what that would look like.

The world of emulation can take you further than your wallet will allow sometimes. :)

Haha, great to see someone who feels the same passion. My wife thought I was being over the top, but I spent a month picking out what I wanted it to look like.

I don't.. I have a completely spare cabinet with buttons, joysticks, wires, and encoders that I plan on using to show a full build without the carpentry work. I just finished my light gun drive which kept me from KZfaq, so hoping to get back to more videos.

I did get it from them, but in building a separate cabinet and I found out that these are Vitrolight stretch LCDs.

@@IntegrumRetro thank you Jason you have a great build machine

Yes, I decided to make a new EHA compatible drive running LaunchBox big box exclusively. I wasn't happy with the drive I received, so I decided to make it the way I want.

ArcadesRFun are better built, use better parts, and the turn around time is only 12 weeks. Much more stable and organized Launchbox configuration also. EHA is 10 months last I read from people on their fan page over on Facebook. Why wait that long to play the same games?

Edit; A year later I sold my $4,550 Gamebox that did not work from day one back to that guy in Wisconsin. I am now playing, sadly on of the last Reccroommaster 2 player arcade cabs with a drive bought from a drive maker. My results have been mixed, but most of the games play as intended. Btw, I really like your channel!

I got this one from extremehomearcades.com. We also have a fan group on FB if you'd like to hear from other owners.

The hardware was built by EHA and I rebuilt the drive from the ground up.

Thank you for th feedback, I am working on something to address just that. Will be a couple of months out at the most.

I'd say there is definitely a market for a 2 player arcade that is priced between a 1Up and the 4 player ExtremeHomeArcade(And similar home arcade makers). But since these places have 6-9 month waiting lists already, there is zero incentive to start producing cheaper arcades which would have lower profit margins. You should check out the Pandora 2 player consoles that you hook up to your TV. They are only $200-500. Now be warned that they are NOT equal to an ExtremeHomeArcade! EHAs are powered by a regular PC, while Pandora consoles are powered by little systems like Raspberry Pis. But depending on what you most interested in playing, it might be the perfect solution for you. I only discovered these home arcades here on KZfaq about a month ago, although I have known about MAME on the PC for about 20 years. I have been looking at tons of people's channels trying to get ideas on what I want to do. I have a nephew who loves to build stuff, but he lives in an apartment and won't have room for a full arcade machine. So I want to get him setup with a console he can build and I can configure a PC to use with it, and if possible, install the PC in it.

ArcadesRFun are better built, use better parts, and the turn around time is only 12 weeks. Much more stable and organized Launchbox configuration. EHA is 10 months last I read from people on their fan page over on Facebook. Why wait that long to play the same games?

@@PowerNGlory The Megacade has over 70K games though, while ArcadeRFun has only 25K games on it.

@@tom11zz884 Because of course you'll find time to play 70k games.

@@PowerNGlory They are about 1500 bucks more though

No, I bought the cabinet and rebuilt the drive they gave me. I am going to put together a other cabinet from scratch and document how that is done.

@Jasen Baker hey Jasen.. I'm interested in the custom drive u built but I'd be using it in the 40 inch vertical cab from the now defunct recroommasters.. do u think that would translate ok if I used a custom vertical theme for big box? Also how do we contact u for the drive purchase info? Love what you've done with custom controls for shader and ffw hotkeys and simultaneous use of arcade panel and bt controllers

@@FrankPalazzolo Email me at jasen@integrumretro.com so we can chat about your setup.

It does. It's just a PC running inside. The joysticks and buttons are connected to a keyboard encoder via USB to the PC. So basically, I have a second keyboard hooked up to the PC to play games, but it changes the whole experience. =)

@@IntegrumRetro very nice. I need a new PC, because android can't seem to handle that game. Weird considering how many games from that Era run on tablet.

Hi Ed, I'm running a Intel Core I5-10400, 8GB Ram, and GTX 1650 video card.

@@IntegrumRetro thanks for the info. I need to update my graphics card

build one

@@cuddlestheadorable1153 sorry for some reason I just now saw your comment. I'm thinking about getting one from The Arcade Guys

@@richmello2710 game room solutions are a good place to start. They have better prices.

@@cuddlestheadorable1153 you could build as many replica's as you want but Manhattan Project is only sold with there cabinets. Despite being Community Driven and developed..... which is lame

@@ivenom6740 you don’t need manhattan project!! Pop over and visit Shar-kade and check out his 16tb drive!

I hope to remedy that someday.. it shouldn't be this much, I agree.

Yes, check out Monster Arcades where you can buy a fully built arcade shell and put in whatever parts you like.

@@IntegrumRetro This! Or if you can live without all the bling and flashing lights, go with GRS.

I'm the same way.. I can't help judge books by their covers when I'm in a library. But it's true, if the experience doesn't backup initial wow factor of the cab, it's quite a disappointment.

@@IntegrumRetro you've given the most honest take of anybody I've seen that owns one of these things. I'm glad to hear you configured your own drive/front end.

@@mr.blonde7812 Thanks! I'm in the middle of a relocation, but since I've made this video I've made the drive I always wanted. 7 months straight of work. Will be showing a preview in a couple of weeks!

That's what I initially got, the drive on display here is one I built from scratch. Having to deal with a recycled drive was rather frustrating, so I scrapped it and built my own.

You really shouldn't just automatically assume things without actually doing some research on these things. They actually run really well on all of the live gameplay that I have seen on this thing. I have personally played street fighter 5 on one of these machines and it runs flawlessly. Sure some of these games don't work usually it is because the game is from some really odd system with a emulator that doesn't work.

Jelly Much?
