Fantastic work, my brother and I are currently building one as well. We're going to make a retro style CRT cabinet for retro games and something like this for racing games like Outrunners and Initial D. Love the steel diamond floor plate, very authentic.
Awesome build! How did you wire the rumble pad to the shaker motor? Solid state relay or something like that? I’m trying to do something similar with the rumble motor output from a Dreamcast controller. Thanks!!
Yeah that's exactly it. Just a simple Dc to Ac relay. The motor I used might be a little to powerful, so someday when i get the time i might replace it and try and put something smaller in the seat or something... Thanks for the kind words!
Great video...is that a midway cockpit...I just purchased a gutted cruising USA cab(wheel, petals,gear shifter are good). Can you tell me what interface you used to get it all to light up and work. Thanks in advance
Very well done work on this cabinet..I would love to have a machine dedicated to driving games...I am on the MAME thing and am disappointed with using sticks for driving games.. IN addition to MAME, i also adapted my X Arcade tankstick to XBox 360 and PS2.., so far..
One of the best builds I’ve seen- you’ve truly thought of everything. Where did you find your marquee at? And do you find that the 32” is big enough for the visibility with the games?
I designed the marquee myself and had it printed online. Yeah 32 is a nice size, although I would always get the biggest screen possible to fit the application. Thanks for the kind words!
Hi, great build. I'm doing one right now myself. I have a California Speed cabinet with that same dashboard. I'm having trouble figuring out how to get my logitech driving force wheel in the dash without cutting up the dashboard. Could you show/ tell me what you did to get your aftermarket wheel working. Thanks, George
Hi mate awesome video, im thinking of doing something like this i have a logitech gt steeing wheel so i'll prob mount that and use the usb to pc .My question is how did you you mount your steering wheel to this cab. I have no clue about manual stuff any help would be great..!
Thank you sir. My wheel is actually from a real arcade machine, I built my machine and basically just copied the mounting system from the arcade machine onto my cabinet... If you are going to use a Logitech wheel you would want to want to attach it securely to the cab. Probably with screws, there are sometimes threaded screw holes in the bottom of the wheel housing. Or at the very least clamp it on securely and then probably create a trim plate around it to make it look like a dashboard.
Do you have force feedback? I’m just getting into the emulated stuff. I have a Cruis’n USA arcade and I wanted to emulate USA, exotica, and world. I have read about not being able to have force feedback. I didn’t know if that was a thing bc most don’t have an actual arcade setup, or if it just wasn’t doable with emulation.
can you possibly play F-zero AX/GX with that? cause i am seriously am a huge fan of that game so much, and i wanted to make my own Fzero racing simulator with my gamecube and all.
You can actually!, the only issue is that game is very twitchy with the controls. It can be much more challenging with the wheel... and it its already a challenging game! But yes you definitely can play it. If I get a chance Ill try to make a video playing it...
I also want to do a PC and Xbox 360 based arcade cabinet. Does the Xbox games show up on the launchbox frontend with this setup? is there anyway to make that happen?
How did you get the buttons on the wheel and how did you get them to slide into the happ control panel? This looks really sweet. I did the happ/Logitech/servo amp hack and it works great for pc only. I’m also using launchbox.
The wheel is made of a heavy rubber with a metal frame. I just drilled into the rubber with a drill bit slightly smaller than the button size so they would fit snugly. And then drilled a small hole through the metal frame to get the wires through. Not sure what you mean by slide them into the control panel? But I drilled a hole through the metal piece that the wheel attaches to and snaked the wires through and into the cabinet...
I don't really have any plans or a model, I used this to get rough dimensions and then made my own shape... forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=103207.0;attach=168352;image
CB, do you have a discord or way I can communicate with you? I'm building something similar with a Mario Kart system. Im near the tail end but i hit a wall. Theres little to no info online on tutorials, was hoping you could answer a couple questions for me to get past where I'm stuck?
The pedals are are from a sega racing arcade cabinet... That is the style they used in games like Outrun 2 and Scudracer ect. I got them on Ebay and yes I had to wire them to work as the xbox 360 controller triggers...
@@chubbyboy2242 I thought you had figured something out. In bigbox when I accidently touch the wheel the menu starts spinning. I just stopped using bigbox when I use my racing wheel and just use Launchbox.
Thanks! No FFB. The controls are based on a hacked xbox 360 controller so FFB is not possible. Really doesn't bother me though. A lot of the games I play simply don't support FFB anyway. And it saves me a lot of money of having to buy a FFB wheel.
Unfortunately no, it sort of came together in my head and I just built it... But I did use this diagram of a sega cab to get some rough dimensions, maybe this will help you. Good luck! forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=103207.0;attach=168352;image
You can find more info about it here. forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,155500.0.html Unfortunately I didnt have a good camera when I was building it so I wasn't able to do a real build log. But if its something you decide to get into I'll be happy to answer any questions you have along the way...
I been trying to build a sit down arcade for a while but I do not like the steering wheel that comes with the Xbox 360.. I would rather have like one that came from an actually arcade machine but no clue where to start.
First thing I would do is read this... forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,105961.0.html And maybe join the forum if you haven't already. There are a few ways to do it, the way I did it was by hacking an xbox 360 controller to work as a wheel. This will require some knowledge of soldering... The next way would be to use a computer interface such as an APAC to hook the arcade controls to the pc. And the 3rd probably easiest way would be to buy a good racing wheel like a logitech g27 or g29 and then make a dashboard around it and build that into a driving machine. A good head start is if you find a busted driving arcade on craigslist or something like that and start there, that way you don't have to build the cabinet... Cant really go into great detail here but join the forum and start posting if you have questions...
I have my kid's old PS2 steering wheel and gas peddle and a plug and play Pacman/Pole Position/Galaga I figure out the wiring to use arcade buttons and joystick on it, I'm not asking you how to wire up this steering wheel to the plug & play but would you already know if its possible?? before I start hacking this thing up lol
i cant find a picture of the inside of that plug n play, but there is a good chance there is a potentiometer in there. There is a potentiometer in the ps2 wheel as well. If you can wire the wheel potentiometer to the plug n play is might be possible.
Awesome work mate, it looks very professional and nicely done.
Certainly did not expect to see you here. This is a pleasant surprise.
@@jakescartoons6045 Yeah, me and Chubby Boy know each other through the BYOAC forum and TH-cam.
Dude this is a spectacular build. I was about to start on an upright racing/ shooter combo cabinet but seeing this has me second guessing myself lol
Thanks man, you should go for it!
Best DIY racing cab I've seen yet! If you ever take commissions, let me know!!
Thank you! If I had the equipment and the time I totally would, but alas it's not to be right now...

Great video...is that a midway cockpit...I just purchased a gutted cruising USA cab(wheel, petals,gear shifter are good). Can you tell me what interface you used to get it all to light up and work. Thanks in advance
I used an xbox 360 controller as the interface. And I just used a simple 12v power supply to power the bulbs on the dash...
It's a pice of art. One of the nicest DIY Arcade Cabinet I ever seen.
Aww thanks friend.
Dude this is crazy awesome!!!
Thank you!
Did I see Hydro Thunder on the list? Are you able to run the arcade on MAME? Or is it the PC version?
PC version, which is actually really good. You can use dgvoodo to make it look a little cleaner too. See here th-cam.com/video/jDr6acU8bHU/w-d-xo.html

Thanks buddy, get yourself a cheap USB wheel to start with. It will be well worth it for driving games!
That is some good setup you have there
Thanks!

Nice work dude
Thanks!
that is awesome! it looks like a lot of work man nicely done
Thanks!
This is very impressive dude!!!! I’m planning on doing one using a PlayStation 2, but I don’t know how to fully start! Great job though :)
For PS2 you could probably use a PS2 compatible steering wheel. Or even mod one to make it work with arcade controls... Good luck!
Nice we're did u get the dashboard?
What wheel did gou uae does it have force feedback
Hello, nice cab 🙂👍
Do you create the whole cabinet? With wood work etc...?
And where did you bought the seat?

If you mean the computer front end its called launchbox/Bigbox

Sweet setup. So did you get the dashboard from a previous driving arcade? I'm looking to make one but want an original dashboard
Thanks, yeah is from a Midway Offroad challenge arcade machine.
Is your frontend Hyperspin or Launchbox?
Launchbox, much easier than dealing with Hyperspin.

How do you get Big Box not to go crazy when you touch the steering wheel?
The menu responds to up and down, the wheel only does left and right. I'm using the built in joystick to navigate the menu in big box not the wheel...

I don't think its possible, no. Your ps2 wheel is a 180 or 270 degree wheel and pole position was 360.
