Күн бұрын

In this video, you can see my latest custom control panel that I made for a cliënt in the United States. He already owned an Arcade cabinet but wanted to upgrade his control panel to something more spectacular.
In this build, we went all out and have chosen the most expensive parts, custom artwork, and even scratch-resistant plexiglass!

It's good to see your new tools allow to work in a relatively dust-free environment. No work dust mask for you. Bravo Daniel. Another work of art arcade control panel!

Wow, very happy with the way the controller panel came out. I am patiently waiting for the controller to arrive. I will post the finished build of the cabinet. I have been talking about this for months with friends and family. Once they see the final completion and can touch it and work the controllers, they will want the best from the best builder in the world in my opinion. Tremendous work.

Another amazing Control Panel. Found ur channel bout a month ago and love the content, and attention to detail on every build. Integrating a Stream Deck is a really cool idea and fits perfectly in a feature rich arcade cabinet. Your designs are one of the best arcade designs I've seen. At some point, Ill be making my own arcade cabinet, so I am definitely going to use your designs as inspiration when I go and build my own.

Thank you for your videos, VERY helpful! My current build (I believe is one of a kind as of now). It's designed to utilize a 7" touch screen making the control panle less cluttery and much more end user freindly. I've written a menu program that will run on the LCD to handle so many functions removing the need for start, exit and pause buttons. Volume control available as a slider, servo motor change from 4-8 way, sleep mode, shutdown, restart and program menu items such as ledblinky, rocketlauncherui, hyperspin, mame config, joypad, WinIPAC and onscreen keyboard. This also removes the need for all the external hardware like keyboard, audio controls or game shortcuts etc as well which cust the build down price as well. To leave the retro feel, the coin in and player start are still buttons.

Thank you for the parts list for my 4 player build. I appreciate you taking the time and like anyone else when you spend the $$ you want the best. I just got a pair of ultimate I/O boards today from overseas and I will order buttons, servo and regular sticks, wire sets and gold leaf switches. I wish I had a cnc available to me to do the fine work creating the button platform but by the time I am ready for this. I will finish my Alder Lake PC for this Big Box build. I own a simple table saw, router and some tools so this is mostly going to be slowly hand tooled. Any tips other than patience would be appreciated.

@TheDanielSpies_Arcades Жыл бұрын

Hi Preston. Maybe some ideas: Print the designs out on paper and stick them to your MDF panels. Then cut the panels by hand. First order the plexiglass panel and use that as a template to cut the wood. These need to line up exact. Pockets you can do with a router yourself. No CNC needed. Watch my Ultimarc tutorials for the components and you are always welcome to email me if you get stuck somewhere. Have fun building! Thanks Daniel

@DrForbin001 Жыл бұрын

@@TheDanielSpies_Arcades I bought some poster board and I'm tracing my side panel. Is there an outfit you can recommend who can cut some plexiglass? I'm deafly afraid of ruining a plexiglass panel. No issue with wood, particle board or MDF cutting with me but plexiglass seems like a death wish gutting those circles for a four player panel with trackball, spinner and flightstick cutting.

Another great build Daniel! I have a question..... can you explain why you always have 4 admin buttons (Menu, Start, Exit, Pause)? I see other CP's that may only have 2 buttons and I'm wondering if there's real functionality for them. I have watched all of your videos and I don't remember you discussing this. Thanks!
