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

  • 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

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

  • Respond to this video... yes to the nes

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

  • @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?

  • where did you get your buttons and joysticks?

  • @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

  • Can anyone tell me where to get the software and roms I need for these old school games? thanks

  • clear it with the wife.

    You mean my hand ?

  • Deep Space 9 love at 5:01

  • 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

  • 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.
