Finally one with a CRT.
@Hater_19
ignorant refers to a CRT screen not LCD or LED as they make them now...
The time spent with your sons having fun is well worth it in my eyes, id love to do something like this with my son when he gets older.
I am a professional finish carpenter and you are NOT a geek; not only was this a cool video but you did a great job as well -- nice....
this is one of the greatest videos i've ever seen. i've always wanted to go through with a build and you've inspired me to finally do it.
A video like this that is 7 years old deserves over a million views at least.
The wood. OMFG I LOVE THE WOOD.
This is almost exactly the kind of thing I want to setup.
I wish I had the space, tools, knowledge to start cutting.
Best looking arcade cabinet I´ve ever seen. The furniture look is a very good idea and it turned out really well. Want.
Well done. That's exactly what I looking for. To have a good time with my family and friends playing old classic games. Congrats!
Love the story, the way you told it, and the music is great, congrats, great work...
An awesome project and it does look elegant in the living room. Kudos to you.
Nice one man. Thanks for sharing ☮️
wow, amazing video, your kids are probably all grown now. crazy you shot and recorded this back in 2011. impressive!
I think I've watched your video over a hundred times lol. Thanks for the great idea. I have always loved arcade games and borrowed your design for my own project. Since then man i have really learned a lot of ways to build em. Cheers.
You're the dad I always wanted. I will say my dad played video games but was more of a workaholic and never came home.
I told my wife that, i was thinking to build one of those, and she asked me for a new car in exchange...so i changed my mind.....congrats from Brazil...nice work and I loved the way you did painted........
This video is still awesome 12 years later
Beautiful looking cabinet ! The shape is stylish and the stained wood finish us 👍
Looks awesome dude, great job!!!
Looks gorgeous brooo
Looks awesome. I'm heading down that road myself.
Oh cool! I've been looking for a way to start, and your video shows me exactly how to begin building!! :) I've been planning this for weeks, and you just saved me some of my precious money! Haha! Great video!
Great job with the project, video, and story. I am doing the same exact thing right now for my house and running into the same problems with budgeting, wives, and materials available. Thanks, this will help me keep going. I really like all the compartments!
I laughed when you said $50. Obviously that wasn't even close, even if you have a lot of the things you need already. It worked out pretty well in the end though.
You using a CRT reeeeeeally helped me dig your work even more.
Awesome job!
Looks beautiful
Awesome vid man!!
Great video presentation, Awesome build!
that is so cool vince!!!!
It looks amazing finished!
Wow that came out sweet!!!
Looks really awesome! Great job! I'm in the process of building my first one too, it's such a cool project! Making mine a bar top model to save a little on materials and space. I really love the finish you gave yours, it does look like a piece of furniture!
Cool !!! I definitely getting started with mine!!! Thanks for the idea 💡!!!
Very nice work
I’m 9 years late but this is awesome. Been looking for a way to incorporate a crt for my own cabinet build!
Awesome! I want to build one of these for me and my kids to enjoy, Great Job!
came out great, And I have to gives props to using a CRT....Damn good build man
Looks nice!
Amazing man. Good video as well. Cheers!!!
Well done!
Looks great and the trackball is a great idea since you've got limited space in that drawer. I'm planning on building one soon and this is great motivation!
Great video! I wish I had a garage to do something like this!
what a great vid mate
I love building arcade cabs. I’ve never gone the natural route as I love the old full authentic look.
That is really awesome and well done that is a beautiful cabinet and a great build.
My dad has a few old arcade cabinets in storage at his home so for my summer project im building a 60 in 1 jamma for my kids to enjoy.
I am going to Customise my cabinet to incorporate all my childhood favourite video game characters.
Anyway that came out so cool and it does look like a piece of furniture :)
You have to build more :)
Hard to belive that was your first, very awsome
Wow great job!!!!!
for the front where the screws are i would have glued 2 pieces of ply and doweled it in so there was no screws showing but thats it. the builds amazing and looks real nice GJ
This is amazing, you must have put so much effort into it
nice work supergeek. I like that it's not just a mame dedicated cabinet.
great work congratulations!!!
This is Amazing!
Man, that looks pretty freaking amazing for your first try. I would love to build my own but sadly I have zero tools to use to make it.
Great work :]
I must say this project came out to be excellent, far better than I expected! I'm a MAME user myself and have been wanting to start a similar project. To all those planning on building their own, there's three necessities you can't go wrong with for an even better build. 1. install a capable video card for graphics hungry games. 2. lcd or led monitor runs cooler and doesn't take up much space. 3.x-arcade control panel or buttons is a definite must have like the author said.
great job!!
A dream come true :3
AWESOME MAN!
Well done. Looks awesome I love those old school Mario games.
I absolutely love this video, the commentary and filming are great, I loved the time lapse. Oh, and the stain made that look amazing. I'm looking to build one of these, possibly a bit bigger over the summer with my dad. It should be interesting, have you found not having a trackball along with your joysticks to be a pain at all? I really want to have one on mine but they seem to be pricey, even on x-arcade. Thanks for the amazing video!
Great job!!!
this is COOL!!! I want to make the exact same thing! Looks like a piece of furniture!
You did The Right thing Brooo.. Congrat.!!
Awsome arcade machine build :)
Good job men!
Awesome!!!
Me also, I found out a bar near our neighborhood had a Galaga Machine and went there to play ....of course my parents didn't know and the people at the bar watched over me...Great memories...
Very mice and love the all wood cabinet, all for a very reasonable price...Especially considering the Frenzy Machine I bought, cost me about 800$... ;)
well done!
I want one....great job....well done...
Seeing your kids play Street Fighter II brought back a flood of memories!
He must respect his family enough to ask their opinion. WOW so many people in the comments dont.... what a shame.
that thing looks beautiful
nice vídeo dude!
That is so fucking DOPE! I am thinking of building one for myself and I'm in the process now of trying to find building plans for a cabinet and layouts for button mapping with hardware. Your cabinet is by far the best I've seen considering all of the user friendliness. Way to go man. I can only imagine how you felt once it was finished and you hit that start button for the first time. Play some Wayne Gretzky 3d hockey for me.
sweet finish on the wood, well worth the work by the looks of it
I'm building in 2021.. thanks for this beautiful video.. ;) cheers..
Old video, about to build an arcade an arcade so i have been watching several builds to see what ideas i can steal. I plan on making a wall mount using a RP3 and I didn't think about it but the idea of leaving the top hindged for storage was great and i will be using that for additional USB controllers.
Awsome!
Amazing
Very nice work im gonna start somin like that but a mini arcade hopfully in my firends basement still u inspired me in a way! good luck... u deserve a like and sub!
Clean build
Your children are very lucky to have a dad like you
amazing
God damn that's a lot work!!!
Very impressive.
"Not perfect no matter how hard i try" dont lie you knew it would be this awsome
Very creative
well done
nice video!
hopefully going to build one myself, what did you use for specs on the motherboad and cpu combo?
I think you did a great job. I plan on building an upright soon. Love that people are sharing videos like this. It really helps add to the ideas that others may have. And screw the people hating on your wife. Every marriage is different and there's always compromises to make. If you're happy then that's all that matters.
AH! I've been wanting to do this for so long! But every single time I almost get completely motivated, I realize the difficulty involved with the actual controls. The buttons. The Joysticks. It all looks so very intimidating and I have no electronic or circuitry knowledge under my belt. I know there's things like the X-Arcade, but I really truly want to put my own touch on my MAME.
Very nice cab, best thing you purpose built it for your needs and not hacked up a old cab. Hate seeing that, unless it's a old poker machine, couldn't care less for them. :D
Love the added storage area, adds to the whole furniture vibe and more of a home use feel.
Thank you for making an informative video, without boring stops and ummms all in under 5 minutes, good music, good editing and awesome final product. I agree with the previous poster, do you have blueprints for this arcade that can be replicated by others?
cool job guy
Hey mate , love your machine , can i ask what colour vanish / finish you've used ? cheers
And built it with the CRT too. Came out very good.
good job!!! looks great, I guess you can still tweak it a little to get it closer to the arcade games of the 80's or 90's, but it's PRETTY close as it is!!!
Excellent job. I just started mine. I got lucky and found a liquidation company that was selling vintage arcade machines for 50 bucks. So that's a good start. However I refuse to compromise with my wife. I am going for the decals and side art. Good name BTW. Right now I'm calling mine the RETROCADE.
love it! could u make another video describing how u wired the buttons to the pc
Thx for the idea now I would like to do it. But could you please tell me how the joystick and buttons were set up?
