He's made it look far more complicated than it really is (not necessarily a criticism) - by trying to 'cover all the bases' it looks overwhelming. For most people with just a handful of PCBs it's pretty simple really to get an old arcade board working with a PSU, monitor, adapter and controller.
@@stanguay169 Yeah, I'll stick with arcade collections/MAME. Honestly, unless you're an arcade expert/expert at a given game, most people probably aren't going to be able to discern the difference in most games as MAME is reasonably accurate for most games. I MIGHT pay hundreds for a cab of a game I particularly enjoy, but not for a PCB, but that's me.
This sound so confusing to me with all boards and video outputs available. Though I appreciate the fact that you made a video explaining some setups, much appreciated
8:49 that Die Hard Arcade cartridge is a work of art, it looks like a massive industrial NES cartridge, im getting nostalgia for it and ive never seen one in person before, I cant get over how much I love that style X3
I had no idea you had this much hardware and were this deep in arcades. It's awesome and this whole area of tech is new to me, and super interesting!! Keep up the good work!
Holy hell what a rabbit hole; I'm saving this to obsess over when I've got the energy! Thanks for all the information; this is probably months of research time you're saving us.
Damn he really is hardcore. I mean for my arcade experience I just use this little plug and play emulation box, and call it a day. He really went all out. But if he keeps this up he won't be able to call himself lazy game reviews.
I just wanted to say thank you for putting in the effort of adding closed captions to all of your videos. It helps in so many ways and it doesn't go unnoticed. :)
I remember wasting 20 dollars in quarters beating Double Dragon in the arcade, and similarly with TMNT....I probably spent enough playing those games to buy all the hardware now, lol.
I remember back in the day, I saw a guy spent well over $60 beating T2 The Arcade Game. With that kind of money he could have bought the SNES port or any other game he wanted, for that matter.
@@krazycharlie yeah I remember that game and a similar guy as well. Spent like 10 dollars in quarters on the helicopter segment and gave up and I watched from the side lines and was awwed
Yeah i would love to have the kind of loose change i have now back then. It was something special to gather at the local diner or wherever to see if you could get far in the cabinet in the corner. Especially if you really got going and others started gathering to see you play.
Thanks for providing such an in depth video about those kind of things, mr. LGR. As someone who lives in a country where those kind of electronics are prohibitively expensive, seeing it in such a high amount of detail really satiates a bit of my hunger for old tech. On the other side, it also increases my desire to own those kinds of things, but until then, thank you so much for bringing this kind of content for us!
Such a cool hobby! I was really curious to see how you stored the PCB - so thanks for covering that! And those thick cartridges were so satisfying to look at. I’d love to collect those.
Great timing! I've been looking at consolized Neo Geo MVS options recently but decided to go down the board and supergun route. A few days ago I ordered a MV1FZ (due to it having a socketed BIOS) and a entry level supergun/PSU bundle, along with the 161 game MVS multicart.
Something amusing about a topdown shooter being played on a vertical LCD. Sure it's normally a CRT in that position, but it's not obvious in the cabinet.
these JAMMA boards were all the rage back in the 90's......sometimes we used to cough "aquire" cough boards from the local arcades. the golden era how i miss thee
@@TheMrR9 I understand that, who wants an authentic experience - but for the money needed to set up 2/3 games in this original way, I can buy latepanda alpha board, a good used monitor, 4 controllers and have a fantastic setup to play with friends or alone - always ready to play. (with several thousand games)
LGR - I am SUPER impressed you gave Turf Masters some air time. I think it is the greatest arcade golf game EVER MADE! I have a similar setup using a Rasbperry Pi and arcade controllers. Big Ups!!!
Awesome vid Clint! I’ve been considering getting into PCBs myself for a while now and you just might have given me the last push to jump into the action.
I don't know. Repairing old CRT display boards can make you pull your hair out. In addition, the crazy rise of price on arcade machines in the last 15 yrs.
@@volvoguy804 Indeed, some crts faults I find easy to repair but some drive you crazy as you say, i've been trying to repair a 14" Toei tabletop/cocktail monitor for a while now and still not managed it. It may end up getting replaced with a later crt arcade monitor!
There are some relatively cheap boards and bootlegs. Things that have never been ported are more expensive. Also beware of Capcom's suicide batteries, it's something to keep in mind. Anyway, welcome to the rabbit hole.
Back in the late 90's when arcades all over the planet were shutting down a friend of mine got a bunch of old PCBs from a company that used to maintain and repair the cabinets. I think he got something like 50 of them for like 300 dollars. He slowly sold them off over the years but actually built his own cabinets for his favorites "NBA JAM" and "Dungeons & Dragons: Shadows over Mystra".
I never even knew about this side of retro gaming, thanks for enlightening me dude. If one really wanted to take it to the next level, make a mini cabinet for it where you can switch out the boards on the back.
I think I'd go down the Multicade route myself if I ever decide to take that plunge due to the costs, but I have to say, the tweaking and experimentation in getting the PCBs running optimally sounds awfully appealing. Like you said, eight year old me would be shocked, haha! MAME alone would have blown my wig off, but the idea of running the actual hardware at home and not needing to be filthy rich or an extremely lucky thrifter to have a small library of my own... holy hell. Of course, everything about the modern gaming world would put kid-me into joy-induced catatonia. If time machines were to ever happen, you know I'm swinging by the 90s to blow my own mind, haha. "Hey me, you know that Doom game you like? Well, you're in for a treat!"
Towards the end there when all that was playing in the video was the TMNT arcade music, really brought me back to what arcades once were like. Of course an arcade store isn't a true arcade store if within the first 5 seconds of walking in you don't hear "SEGA Rally Championship". Glorious days. Still, I don't have the cash for physical hardware, even FPGA boards. So MAME is the only option for me. MAME is awesome, don't get me wrong, but being able to own an actual cabinet, that's just heaven.
LGR, the only man in the world Fluid in the kind of technobable we saw in star trek, and yet he can make it work and not seem like giberish, while perfectly conveying how everything works without crossing into the Oh Dear I've Gone Cross eyed Relm of Information overload, Bravo lol
16:00 I always forget that this game is called rush 'n' attack in your neck of the woods. Here in the UK, it's called Green Beret, and I am proud to say that I always had my name in the top 10 for this game at my local arcade. Played it to death on my Commodore 64 and then Amiga A500.
I didn’t know about the existence of superguns and it’s totally what I need! I have a NeoGeo cabinet but wanted to switch the screen to something better, with the added possibility of extending it to a multicade machine maybe.
Makes one appreciate that I can just download a game from steam and play it, but also appreciate that there are people this dedicated to gaming that they spend so much time and effort to preserve the history of this grand culture of ours.
Part of the fun of doing this is getting broken boards for a few bucks, replacing capacitors, burning new EPROM chips to replace ones that suffered from bit rot or are just missing, etc.
LGRs titles are the best by a mile, soothing tunes, cool splash and I quick hint of the contents. Perfect. No annoying TV show titles. Always a class act.
Die hard arcade!!! My uncle cleaned a bowlig ally 3rd shift. The owner would be there doing whatever paperwork he needed to do, and would always give us a bunch of free plays in the arcade. Spent hours and hours playing die hard for free. This seems like a fun project.
This is absolutely amazing!!... but I'll stay with emulation due to finantial and phisical space concerns. Other than that, I'll dial my envy-admiration to the middle :)
Great video, well presented as always, so many different converters available! I have many arcade boards, a PVM, numerous LCD monitors, the Framemeister, more analogue conversion things I can think of and even EPROM programmer for hacks and de-suicide and I learned stuff from this, so thanks. Time for a patreon run methinks
This is extremely artisanal. It's like rolling your own coils and concocting your own vape juice out of unicorn tears, and harvesting electricity from the sun to slow charge your hand rolled lithium cells. Worth the effort if it's your jam. What a great tour of the process to get it all to work.
wow this is pretty impressive. mame is great and all, but i also think it's just not the same as real hardware. it's really a sign of the times that people are literally using state-of-the-art electronics to string converter after converter together in order to recreate the comparatively simple, but infinitely more fun experiences that we took for granted in the 80s and 90s lol. very cool video man
In a future video it would be worth covering the maintenance and repair of the old arcade boards - this can really rack up the costs over time (unless the owner has the skills to repair the boards).
Very nice overview of this absolute torrent of adapters, PCBs and stuff! My dream of getting a Ghosts'n Goblins cab is probably never going to happen, buy maybe I can get hold of PCB instead! This video will be very helpful to be able to set that up with a minimal amount of pain! :) Of course GnG isn't Jamma, but I am pretty sure there is another converter for solving that problem. Thanks for the video!
To people talking about how complicated this all is, it's not really that hard to understand once you know what you need, it's just that you need a lot of expensive equipment besides the expensive games themselves. This is for enthusiasts like Clint who have a life and/or career that can accommodate this kind of hobby. For everyone else, it might be worth it if you can find some insane deals on boards or just really have one or a few arcade games you absolutely love and want to have in their original form, but it's impractical otherwise.
For a channel called "Lazy Game Reviews," a lot of effort is put into just getting the games to run.
Good thing he didn't name it "Procrastination Game Reviews" or he would never get any of them to run.
Obviously, the games are lazy, not the gamer.
As well as his script writing is top notch TH-cam material.
Well even the editing has effort put into the video.
never underestimate the lengths people will go to in order to be lazy, just look at the remote control!
Clint: Its easy!
Also Clint: Heres my 503982 boards and 92810583 cables made to adapt this single arcade game.
CRT monitors aren't convenient, said guy, who has enough adapters to convert Niagara waterfall to output Oreo cookies from Xerox copier. :) But, all jokes aside - now we know how that guy in Independence Day could program spaceship from another planet...

Aliens also use SCART, it’s mostly just a few stubborn Earth countries that refuse to adopt it 😛
Yeah the more signal converters and daughterboards that was pulled out of the wizard's hat the more certain i became of sticking to emulators. May have to invest in a arcade stick though.
"Convert the conversion with another converter"
that made my day
The retro gaming version of tech the tech with the tech.
More converters than using a Mac
Maximum convertage!
Gadzinisko oh heck yes. 😅
That’s how we interface with BACnet nodes every day. 2 serial conversions before USB.
Damn dude this looks like a major pain in the ass. Kudos to your determination.
Crazy, I think I'll stay with emulation, even if it's sub-subpar...

Lol I thought the same. At first I thought oh cool I can do this then he kept going and I thought yeah nevermind
I just kept hearing the teachers from the Charlie Brown cartoons instead of his voice
Unfortunately through the years video standards were anything but.. standard.
I use a Dell optiplex hooked up to a CRT monitor with custom sticks for arcade emulation
this reminds me of that one Strong Bad Email where they have to hook up a mile-long chain of adapters just to play Senor Cardgage's cursed video tape

To people talking about how complicated this all is, it's not really that hard to understand once you know what you need, it's just that you need a lot of expensive equipment besides the expensive games themselves. This is for enthusiasts like Clint who have a life and/or career that can accommodate this kind of hobby. For everyone else, it might be worth it if you can find some insane deals on boards or just really have one or a few arcade games you absolutely love and want to have in their original form, but it's impractical otherwise.
