It was a unique cabinet because most of the Chase hq cabinets are single-player with one seat or didn't had a seat at all. And who can forget the Caddilacs and dinosaurus 4 player cabinet too.

Hello there :) I am here from the underground arcade servers. We actually have majority of the games fully allowing anyone to run their own private servers, In most cases the cabinet itself acting as its own server and the games bootable in any windows install with no hardware checks. So worry not! the games will be safe and preserved for everyone to play at through multiple anime/game conventions for the rest of our lives.

Uh... I am familiar with this thing. I should be regarded as a group of people who are more familiar with SEGA arcade boards. Actually this video is pretty good, one of the few examples of "when he talks about my field, he talks really well". Linus mainly takes the ALLS substrate as the core, extends to the operation mode of the entire arcade industry, and related underground industries around this substrate. But there are also some slightly "misleading" conclusions: such as using SafeNet or other dongles to replace the original Keychip, the key chip. The actual process is more like: write a software that emulates Keychip → don't want this software to be pirated again → use a hardware dongle to protect the software used to emulate Keychip. The main function of the Keychip is to store game-related keys and some content related to authorization certification. There are some differences from dongles in the traditional sense, but not much. And those emulators are more to adapt to the input and output states of different games. In fact, ALLS is not only an arcade game distribution platform, but also acts as an IO middleware. Because many games do not directly communicate with human-computer interaction devices, but communicate through the IO interface provided by the ALLS system. Almost all arcade games these days are Windows games. Home versions can be made and released as long as the developer wishes. Speaking of ALLS itself, this video doesn't mention much. After all, most of the fans who follow this channel are hardware enthusiasts. The ALLS series has actually been born for a long time, and its common sub-models are: UX/UX2/HX/HX2/HX2.1 OP/MX/MX2, etc. Its algebra is mainly determined by the motherboard platform. For example, UX, HX, and MX all use Gigabyte MDH11BM motherboard, H110 chipset, and CPU is i5-6500. UX2/HX2/MX2 are Gigabyte MCH31AM motherboards, using H310 chipset, but the CPU is different. For example, HX2 is i3-8100, but MX2 is i5-8500. In terms of graphics cards, HX is based on GTX1050Ti, UX and other high-end models are based on GTX1070/RTX2070, and MX2 is based on GTX1060. The one in Linus' hands is obviously ALLS UX, i5-6500+GTX1070 model. With the development of arcade machines, the content of self-developed hardware in the chessboard is getting lower and lower. SEGA has grown from the glorious Model series of motherboards to the current ALLS series with interchangeable common parts for PCs. Not that this is a decline, after all, the cost is there. ALLS's previous generation of Nu substrates had at least one self-developed PCIe daughter board made of FPGA.

Before Blazblue was ever announced for consoles, there was a cracked arcade version making the rounds in the PC scene. I believe that game originally ran on Taito GX hardware, essentially also just a PC running Windows Embedded. Good times. A few early PC based arcade platforms ran on weird embedded Linux versions, possibly even from before the LinuxThreads to NPTL shift (which rendered tons of older Linux software unusable on modern systems), so I would imagine preserving or emulating those games would be quite a challenge. VMs are probably the way to go for later PC based arcade machines. The Seibu Kaihatsu machines like Raiden were probably the earliest big titles that used standard PC hardware, but that was still DOS era, so that can be emulated no problem on modern hardware. Also worth noting: Taxes are another major reason those systems are locked down to that degree. Cash registers also often run commodity hard- and software, and are super locked down as well.

Sega Sammy merger has nothing to do with this; ALLS and most of the hardware like came way after the merger and by that point Sega had become independent again. The high level of security on these systems stems from massive amounts of bootlegging during the peak of Street Fighter 2; despite making large piles of money, Capcom lost equally large piles of money due to piracy. So did other companies, such as Sega. This resulted in all sorts of encryption being used to protect their IP, culminating in the closed ecosystem of PCs with bitlocker and other encryption schemes requiring always-on networking to play.

3:07 you're almost right on the GD-ROM drive! it's actually a modified CD-ROM format with higher data density co-developed by SEGA and Yamaha. it was used as the optical game distribution format for the Triforce, Chihiro, and NAOMI boards, as well as being the Dreamcast's optical media format. in its arcade iteration, games were dumped onto a RAM board at boot so as not to cause unnecessary wear on the drive during operation. Triforce was a collaboration between Namco, SEGA, and Nintendo (hence the name, as well as SEGA and Namco being allowed to develop titles based on Nintendo franches for the system, those being F-Zero and Mario Kart respectively). Yamaha and SEGA had a good relationship, having developed bespoke sound processors for the Saturn and Dreamcast together, SEGA having previously used off-the-shelf Yamaha tech for their arcade boards (YM2151) and the Mega Drive (YM2612). hope this is interesting to someone 💜

TeknoParrot ex-developer here; back in the day (~2017 or so) in the early days of TeknoParrot, we had access to a bunch of these machines, and we used various OS and chip exploits to basically get shells and tools on the OS and retrieved the decrypted data that way (or tools like wireshark to capture packets) and then reverse engineered the data to recreate the various messages required by the game to launch/play. Initially it was either a local-only emulator (or just patching memory to fake the responses) to make the machines think they were online but had no internet connection, and in the recent years actually writing emulated servers for them to have true compatibility. A lot of these games also required regular memory patches to make them work on hardware they weren't meant for (i.e. AMD gpus), Sega liked using NVidia-only GL extensions for their Initial D games so we had to patch a bunch of code for the games to even display any output on systems with AMD GPUs

And a _very long time_ later, we realized the older Initial D Arcade Stage games (4, 5) ran on a Linux-based OS, and SEGA forgot to strip debug symbols from them, which gave us access to a lot of very critical structures and function names which helped us emulate IDAS in a much more accurate way. We even support multiplayer, both local AND remote (via Steam Relay servers), although the games struggle with remote due to lockstep and not having any kind of interpolation/extrapolation so the other player's movements are very jittery.

These underground networks operate under threat from Sega but more importantly BandaiNamco that they wont make this knowledge easily accessible to anyone who wants to play these games at home. They are sympathetic that they aren't meeting the demand for their games, but they are only ever gonna accept the arcade industry's return in North America, and not pirated home play, as you can see in Japan.

knowing that Sega is currently owned by SAMMY corporation, a Japanese company known for making pachinko machines (which is a predatory gambling machine), and that the only reason they bought Sega was to offset their reputation, this doesn't surprise me.

A lot of country in Southeast Asia have arcade game culture, and because of that we got a lot of cool relatively new arcade, though mostly rhythm games as J-pop and ACG-related music are popular here. We just recently got Chunithm after huge request from local gamer :))

Correction: Australia and America does have ALLS games. However in America's case the only game available there officially is Hatsune Miku's Project Diva exclusive to Round1 because licensing. Meanwhile Australia has Chunithm, Maimai and a tiny number of Initial D four sets based in Sydney and one in Melbourne (probably because no one would want to buy IDAC with only the core UI translated as per export versions of the game, lack of knowledge of the game's existence or lack of demand because wangan midnight exists which pretty much prints money). The recent model I know of, the ALLS MX2.1, includes an 8th gen core i5 and a 1660ti.

Other than that it's shockingly normal as far as PCs go and extremely usable.
