Build an arcade in 2 days

[AlexanderMagni92]

[markit8dude1]

you buy the art online. there are places that sell the marquees. the wood etc. you buy at your hardware store.

[sxdemon]

I just don't know where or how I can get all the physical pieces like the wood and the metallic pieces. and dont let me start about using actual art and lights in the cabin and creating/hacking a controller.

This song will be forever stuck in my head BASE

[kennyfication88]

HOLY CHEEZ!

Is it common, that everyone has a FUCKING HUGE Control Panel? O.o

Your cab is really great, but I hate it when everybody uses a huge CP for 4 players, spinners and balls. thats TOO much. But as I already said, nice work you did.

[mogie620]

the holes for the buttons are the easiest thing in the world. go to homedepot or lowe's and buy a wood boring bit 1/4". it does a very clean job. then the button lip covers any rough parts. before you put the button in cover the hole thing with the vinyl i talked about in the video. it looks authentic. enjoy

[v6817255t]

WOW... I love this build. What front end/PC are you running? My biggest challenge is the keyboard interface/boring holes for the buttons and joystick.  I just want the feel to be crisp and original just like the old days. Do you find this build very sturdy and realistic?

AWESOME JOB!!!!!!!!

[bobiscool99]

Nice job, I'm about to start refurbishing a cabinet myself, then building my next one, your video was very inspirational. Check out my channel for progress, thanks!

[MrBacchus18]

Possibly stupid question, but can you use a LCD monitor?

[mogie620]

@MrBacchus18 yup anything you want. lcd however is very high quality. with the older games you want less....:)

[Guywithair2]

Was that star trek on tv?

This looks like alot of work for two days.. nice job

[mogie620]

@Guywithair2 star trek all the way!

[IHDesigns]

If I'm building this could I use a nes and where can I get coin doors and marqueee

[mogie620]

@IHDesigns search google for coin doors. there are a million places. and eb*y isn't cheaper always.....

[mogie620]

Respond to this video... yes to the nes

[MrFanaticism]

@IHDesigns Yes you can get marqueee and coin doors if you want, they have em on order marquees are like 30 bucks and coin slots are like 45 so 75 to make it epic looking

[mrcokez1]

Nice build...but i prefer using wood instead of mdf...mdf tends to open and split when moisture and high humidity is present

[mogie620]

@mrcokez1 true. the only issue is that wood has that coarse look to it. you have to cover it up with something other than vinyl. maybe laminate?

[DaGleese]

well i bought the jigsaw, but i dont know what it has to do with a sander......

i bought a 99 piece jigsaw btw, is that enough? a 1000 piece would take more than a weekend to complete along with building an arcade machine

btw do i solve the jigsaw in the beer breaks? or while building the cabinet?

[TRIPIAR]

Gnarly!!!

[unearthVII]

kick ass!!! that is really great!!!

[TheEd500]

what song is this?

[8BitFox]

personaly i would rather use an old crt tv since its bigger and actually gets a better view then a crt monitor

[Roachlord]

nice touch with the dragon's eyes

[snower5554]

i was thinking about making one of these but using an actual atari, and a tv set. i made a cardboard prototype in my garage lol.

[dave1234madmax]

whats the name of that song

[Filly1995]

The song's called Journey into sound, but there are many version, i dunno who made this.

[mogie620]

@dave1234madmax journey into bass by dj laz. miami music

[Alymero]

If I had to make an arcade cabinet it would come out looking like Mr. Magoo or the Three Stooges built it. LOL

[dshantalla]

nice work dude !

but i really just love the music to this video ! it really suits it lol !!!!

and if thats your missus your a very lucky man, she's quite a looker.

thanks for the vid anyways, it was very helpfull as im going to attempt building a cab in a few weeks time.

[angryjoy]

OMFG @ 5:01

Star Trek is on!

[IRONMAIDENFAN2006]

clear it with the wife haha hell no im the man

[honDaggerlee]

dude great job, but your control panel was pretty big for only 4 buttons per player. You could have made that a 4P panel. Also how do you play those fighting games with only 4 buttons???

[YourMameMan]

5:03 Look! There's a Ferengi!

[cy5000]

how did you get the game that was on their
