  • What's up gamers! Join me as I give you a walkthrough of our HQ Megacade. In my opinion, it is the best in home arcade you could own. Definitely a must have if you're in the market of a home arcade. The build quality is top of the line and the customer service is AAA. The owner David Lewis goes above and beyond to help out in any way that he can. I highly recommend shopping with them. Hope you enjoy the video. Thumbs up for more.

      @anonymousprofess glad you like our Megacade. You want to copy design...sure, have at it. I don't mind at all. And you don't have to pay for it all up front. The minimum payment to get your order started is $500. So you'd be able to make payments up until your machine is finished. In the event you do shop with www.extremehomearcades.com tell them that I sent you.😁

      Victor Arredondo I think it’s worth it in the time you save. Sure, plenty of ppl have made custom arcade boxes but if you diy you need to do so much research and testing. Find all the games that work properly, find hardware that is capable of playing those games, creating an interface so everything runs nice and smooth. I’m planning on ordering one too!

      @@dionlovrecich4259 Hyperspin is the interface. Amazing interface. I run a similiar set up except on a 65 inch OLED, recliner, PC, going through a 9 speaker, 2 sub sound system, with the PC that runs it all on the side. I like the freedom of being able to swap out from many different types of controllers and using a wireless keyboard to practice efficiently with save and load states. These machines are still very cool though. Luckily my good friend knows how to set all that shit up and spent a few years on the project. I also wanted to go the route of having basically all the roms for the systems. Some systems like gamecube I have maybe 400 games, but for most of the systems I have full or near full sets. Each game doesnt have a video or a nice label since there is bootlegs,prototypes and too many games to find artworks for, but many of them do.
      This is how Im running it
      th-cam.com/video/pTWaVlpMu6A/w-d-xo.html
      At some point I will do a tour of my tiny room, cockpit style area. I have it all connected through the sound system and recording device that leads into the PC. Since I record almost all gameplay for playthrough videos. With everything Im trying to do it doesnt really make sense to have a stand up cabinet as my main gaming set up. A room tour would show the modern systems, variety of controllers and how its routed through the sound system, recording devices, so some might find it interesting. I recently added a tablet holstered in the side of the recliner. Makes it so much more covenient to look up maps, videos of games online when getting lost or to see whats coming up next when learning games. Its not a pretty set up but very effective.

Also have some random ps1, ps2, gamecube, dreamcast, 3DO, and atari roms on here. There is definitely more I'd like to get but downloading roms is getting more difficult. They've cracked down on it. Can still find them but not as easy as it used to be. Still happy with what I have though and I have way more games than I'll ever play. Lastly, I use the Launchbox.

      I use "Attract Mode" front-end on PC for arcade games via MAME, and it's really not too bad, but it does take a bit of time and patience to set up. It also supports other platforms/games, but the support/setup is kind of wonky so I just use it for MAME. If I won the lottery/otherwise had a sudden windfall though I would definitely consider getting something like this.

      N64 emulators on lower power system-on-chips that use an ARM CPU etc. typically don't support "Frame Buffer" emulation, and MK64 uses the frame buffer to display the race on the jumbotron screen there. It looks like this arcade is using a modern PC as its guts, and so is using a modern PC N64 emulator which should support most N64 features/games.
