I checked out the glass shop. About 108 dollars. How much was your quote for local glass? I have a 4 player captain commando that I want to turn into a 4 player multi but I also want to turn it into a suowr street fighter 2 grandmaster. So as of now it's collecting dust, since I stole the crt for another project.

Awesome video. Helped me decide to grab the lg monitor myself. If you don’t mind me asking, how are you setting the display orientation and resolution in windows itself? Are you changing the aspect ratio within the emulator?

@cooltoy Жыл бұрын

@@Shreddy_E you can toggle the display orientation and resolution in the normal windows display setting menu. Then in the emulator (in my case MAME) you can set things like aspect ratio, scan lines, or other video setting filters or changes that you see fit.

I'm really diggin' those monitors! Been working on my full-size 4-player multicade for years now (cabinet art delusions of grandeur that have been thwarted), and am seriously leaning toward ditching my intended OG aspect ratio monitor for one of those.

Both this and MK were really well done. Your hard work is obviously shown on both cabinets. That tmnt is awesome, and adding a third button to play other 4 players is a good idea while keeping the control panel looking original. I have a hard time playing MK without the MK button layout (I’ve tried) but your reasons for doing it make sense. Looking forward to seeing more projects.

Dude great job and I'm so jealous that you have an original TMNT arcade cabinet! Remember when I first saw the arcade game at the Clark County Fair in Washington state back in the summer of '90! I was 15 at the time and was instantly in love with the cabinet and game! I recently scored on a bare Simpsons Arcade1up cabinet for a great price which is missing the control panel, PCB and riser. That I'm turning into a custom 4 player TMNT cabinet. The shape is a little closer to the original TMNT arcade machine. I really don't understand why Arcade1up didn't do that shape in the beginning when they first released their version of the TMNT. Oh well it will be one of a kind and unique. Also it will be running on a Dell 7010 SFF PC with a Ge-Force 1650 graphics card, 32gb of memory and on Windows 10, with Launchbox/BigBox. I do hope someday I will have a real arcade machine and a real pinball machine as well. We will see. lol

Hey buddy I really enjoy your content. My Street Fighter II stopped working so the MOD idea is very fresh in my mind. Advice or guidance to and what I should use? What would you stay away from? Raspberry pi or pandora? I'm some what computer savvy but I'm wanting as close to a plug and play. Then again the larger screen is an idea for sure.

@cooltoy 15 күн бұрын

Pandora's Box units are pretty good for simple plug and play without complicated set up. They have models that work on arcades with CRT screens or on modern LCD screens, making them pretty great options for newcomers to modding. Raspberry Pi used to be the king when they were dirt cheap, but prices shot up on them during covid. A PC will allow you to play the most games, and give you the best performance overall, but has the most complicated set up.

Any advice on a trusted place to purchase original arcade machines. Don’t want to get scammed and don’t know who is a legit dealer in these old cabinets.

@@DeathSavePinballStreaming in person purchases are the way to go these days. Wayyyy too many scamming websites out there. I know several people who have purchased online through captains warehouse online auctions, but those purchases always have a significant auction fee and tax added to the final bid so you rarely will find yourself a deal.
