Thoughts on the Polycade Sente? Let me know below! Links and Details in video description!

Always been really interested in the Polycade and have messed about with the AGS a wee bit, I love its integration with Steam so theres no need to rebuy games if you have them there, that was a great idea

Waiting on my fully loaded Sente to arrive soon. I loaded it up with the Digital Marquee topper, a 4 Way Joystick, Side Magnet art, Trackball and the Stand!!

I was following these guys about 15 years ago before the home arcade space was popular (and multicades were the only thing going). I might have bought one then, if they had a more affordable option like this. As it stands, I'm more in favor of dedicated, license-specific cabinets.

Interesting!! Good work, there!!

Nice, you're getting the Lexus of multicades. Looking forward and hoping it lives up to the hype. I like to know all the options out there and will be looking forward to seeing your videos.

Great stuff pdubz 👍

I love these wall mounted units .Just the soace it saves will be awesome

PDubs, It's funny that you mentioned nostalgia. Almost every time I see an arcade machine, I get nostalgia, because when I first frequented arcades, machines were all shapes and sizes. The Sente gives me nostalgia in the sense that I'd walk into the arcade and see a new machine for the first time. I think the only picture that kind of concerned me was the one at the beginning showing the two player configuration. I was expecting the modularity to look a little nicer. I don't know if I like that uneven bump in the middle, looks kind of amateurish. Hopefully that was just a quick picture they took and not the final production model. For the higher price I'd want Polycade to take a bit more care in a cleaner look. I don't know how the modules actually work, if you have to wire them in every time you swap them out, but if I were making them, and I proposed this to Glen from Glen's Retro Show a long time ago, I would use easy connection ports to snap them in and out. It works like this. Instead of wiring a control panel in, the controller and the machine would both have connection ports where you could press a button to release one connected and just snap a different one in. Kind of like inserting a cartridge into a classic gaming system. The tech is out there to do this, but will anyone capitalize on it? Looks wise (other than the bump in the middle of the two control panels in that one picture) the Sente looks AMAZING! The main reason I didn't buy one is I don't have any more room, and for any cabinet to come into my house, it's competing with what I already have. Unless it can justify me getting rid of something, then it's a no go. The other reason was it was crowd funded. It's a risk/reward thing. For me, it's how much money am I willing to risk. The Sente was just too much money for the risk for me. Now if they were selling this at that crowd funding price, and it was available then and there, then it might've been a consideration. But I've seen too many people burned by crowd funding. I rarely participate in it myself. I hope it ends up being a great product! vgv

Looking forward to one. Also ordered black. Expecting it in September. :). Playing around with ags. Wish it could boot directly into a game and also save filters. Other than that I like it. Finding a few button mapping situations but probably my problem. Trying to find top 20 games is difficult. Played total carnage for a while today which is amazing :). Also would be nice to be able to hide games permanently, especially the freebie store bought ones.

I literally know nothing about owning an arcade or multicade but I always wanted one I went all in on this and got the black one with the digital marquee and a couple decal kits and the retro stool. Hope it easy to understand when I have it in hand or I’m gonna be confused 😂😂

Mine should be coming soon! The entire time I was watching your BSS 360 wheel video, I was thinking about how their panels could potentially work with this.

got mine!

Cool video. Thank you. Why people refuse to hold their phone sideways for video recording is beyond me.

Wow that looks cool! You are the only youtuber i have saw covering this. Hope they give you the white golve treatment....maybe they can send task rabbit. PDubs always complaining about something...vertical record lol

I think buy stuff arcade can make a more affordable alternative to this product.

Big fan bro, machine looks nice. If your a multi axe guy, there is only 1 system you will need for life. Arcade-One. I’ve been playing Arcade games, and console games my entire life (I’m 5”), and I can honestly say that Carlos Ortega (owner of Arcade-One & RecRoom Masters) has the best system in the world. Free updates of Teknoparrot, pc games, vpin tables, G29 wheel racers, Sinden lightgun , it’s got everything and anything you’ll ever want or need. What sets it apart is his customer service. It’s plug and play into any home arcade cab. Ask for Carlos, tell him Jay sent you. Your welcome.

I bought the twin joystick control panel 🕹️ 🕹️ to play Smash TV, Robotron, and Total Carnage on Mame on my PC!

That's dope! How much?

I've seen these 10 years ago at a hefty $3-5k now they're still hefty at $2k. I guess you're paying for the minimnalistic IKEA design.

What the heck does it need a camera for?

High roller

Looks sweet but not for me, the stand unit just looks awkward

C’mon, bring back the livestreams from the Loft! It’s getting boring in Mike Kripke’s basement.

A bit too expensive for my taste
