Hi We Build Stuff, Your video was absolutely inspiring for me and gave me the final motivation I needed to build my own arcade cabinet. I must say that this is my first big "professional" wood work and it took me some days, because I wanted to make things right, but at the end I'm very proud with the result. All of my friends and family are very impressed as well, because although I don't have many of the tools you use on the video I managed to cut, drill and mill the borders of wood to produce a nice arcade. Didn't painted it yet and the marquee is missing as well, but I feel very happy each time I use it, and that's thanks to you. Btw, I used your measures and they worked quite perfect, but the side panel layout didn't worked for me, not sure if it was the way I printed it so at the end I made all the measures by hand ;)

there is some controls now that encode the exit into a usb connector , so you would not need a lot of that wiring at least on the pi side

Spartacus' Skull and Bones yes i know. i have a few of them. when i first started making arcades recalbox didnt have support for the usb encoders i had purchased 2 years ago. i started doing gpio wiring as a way of giving me full control over the end result. my next builds have much cleaner wiring! 😊 thanks for the view

I recommend a crown lever and sanwa buttons.

I bought cheap from ebay. Works for me! I wouldn't mind a heavier duty stick and buttons for another build some day

Martin Viljoen TheTechTinker I have taught 14 year olds to make their own using handheld power tools instead of needing a bandsaw and tablesaw. It can be done with a jigsaw in your garage or kitchen (if the wife isn't home...)

Nice work, I am attempting to do one myself except using a PC instead of a pi. I want something with a bit more kick to play games like Mortal Kombat X & 11 and Killer Instinct for example. Debating whether to use Hyperspin or Big Box . I learned some cool tricks from your video though that have been very helpful so thanks.

Bad ass video! I would love to make one of these but literally have no skills with tools. Still, you made it look so super easy that I'm tempted to try.

I've seen hundreds of videos like these, all of them using sophisticate tools and saws. Anyone doing that in a simple, realistic, average joe, garage budget way??
@WeBuildStuff5 жыл бұрын
Eventually I'll upload a video of one of my DIY garage builds only using hand power tools. While I don't need all the fancy stuff it just speeds up the process by a few hours.
