Custom built quarter scale Donkey Kong Arcade Cabinet. Fully playable and accurately built. Thanks numskull for the inspiration. Mini 16.5" tall Donkey Kong.
Ridiculously good job man. Top notch. Also the video quality is fantastic. Thanks for sharing all the details including the build pics. You incorporated so many great ideas in this build. Very inspiring.
Unbelievable project. I just got a bubble bobble quarter cade machine. Was my dream cab. Once I got it, I realized I would love to mod it with a better screen etc. But as soon as I saw it and how it was manufacture red I told myself I wanted to build my own.
That’s awesome! I like the detail you put in with the especially with the buttons. I own an original DK cab myself and those buttons are ridiculously high but it’s authentic! 11/10!
Super-Great Work! My first favourite arcade game since I was a child was Scramble (by Konami, 1981). I hope SO MUCH one day, to get a quarter scaled version of this one!
Man that’s great! I collect Arcade1ups but these are so cool and your donkey Kong is super. I can’t build anything on this level but I do try and do Halloween displays. I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about building a shooting gallery for trick or treaters. I don’t have anyone to ask and from the looks of your skill level I have a feeling you would be a great help to my vision for the kids to enjoy.
You are very,very talented young man! I wish these were or would be available from Numbskull or heck you could make any game you want you could sell! Like a Tron maybe,SW Arcade? I ❤️ the video & enjoy your Donkey Kong!!!
Hello Jamie, that Donkey Kong quarter scale is amazing. I would like to know if you could make one for me, just let me know the cost. I also have every Numskull release to date.
@@timebandit1266 Not sure if he can because of license - but wouldn't that be flipping awesome though. Wife would kill me, but I would still buy one ^_^
Awesome work Jamie! Have you considered making anymore cabinets or doing some custom jobs and selling them? There are so many other great arcade games that I'm waiting to see if Num Skull and New Wave Toys release. My wish list of games: Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, Rolling Thunder, Gauntlet, Altered Beast, Golden Axe, War Gods, Star Wars, etc. Thanx for the video!
I love it. My first three arcade games i ever played were pac man donkey kong and centipede. Due to multiple boards donkey kong was the best by far. Could you build one for me and what would it cost.
Thank you for sharing your inspiration and video. Couple of questions. Assuming you used 7mm momentary switches for the controls? Where did you find the orange button and what brand of switches are they? The dished tops look nice. Hard to see in the video. Did you use t-molding for the cabinet edging or did you just paint it? If t-mold, where did you find 3/16 t-mold?
Thanks for the kind comments. For the buttons, on this one I used some buttons I had in a box, believe they were from RadioShack originally but for my other DK builds I used custom 3D printed button bodies and sleeves and used sub micro switches from eBay. As for t-mounding, no it’s just painted, I’m still trying to find a source for that. Smallest I’ve found is like 1/4”
@@jamiemcshan thank you very much. Great job. I’m gathering parts now. I didn’t see how the bms board is wired in. I’m assuming it’s under the battery holder in your pic. Also, the power switch is a momentary like the numskull power switch and you connect to the enable on the voltage booster? Sorry, I’m kind of looking at pics of both your Star Wars build and this one to piece together the circuits
@@redcat40 I'm actually going to try these boards out on my next builds. They can provide up to 6amps at 5.2Volts. I really liking them so far. www.heldergametech.com/shop/gameboy-zero/retropsu/
@@jamiemcshan wow, nice. That cleans things up a lot. All in one. I will pick one of those up for the next one I do. Thanks for the tip. Looking forward to see what you a come up with next ;)
@@jamiemcshan hi, I put together my pi and the 4.3” display you used on the Star Wars and the little speakers you used on your sw build list.. What do you think of the sound level and quality on that basis the 5” with separate audio amp you used on this build? What do you use for an amplifier circuit for this build? Thx :)
Great job! Thanks for sharing. I’d like to create one. Would you mind sharing where you found the buttons (control panel and coin door)? Also, what did you use for the top and bottom of the marquee? I would appreciate it. Thanks!
Buttons are 3D printed, control panel is custom built from 3/16 mdf and the coin door is CNC cut from styrene. Marque is 2 layers of 1/16 plexy sandwiched with artwork between.
@@jamiemcshan thanks for the quick reply! Damn I’m gonna have to find someone with a 3d printer! For the marquee I meant the metal on top and bottom holding the plexi up. Did you fabricate that somehow or buy something and trim it down?
I’ve got donkey Kong on Nintendo Switch I bought the arcade version to be honest it’s not that fun but I do like collecting arcade archives games any games from the arcades from the 80’s cause they cost $7.99 if they costed $60 I wouldn’t buy them when I buy from numskull or arcade 1 up I make sure I buy what plays great everyone would enjoy playing like Pac-Man galaga street fighter so much more donkey Kong you just keep on jumping kind of boring
Oh man, I'm grinning like an idiot. If only we were able to buy these from Numbskull as well. Amazing!
Super talented man...Numskull should have already reached out and offered you a position lol
Truely excellant craftsmanship.
I love that the control panel comes off to service, especially the magnets to hold it in. Genius move. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Incredible. I don't think I've wanted anything so badly since I wanted the Kenner Millennium Falcon in 1979. Never got one :-/
Thanks Eric, I actually still have my Falcon from when I was a kid. It hangs in my office.
Insanely good work. I love it. Great job!

That is totally cool.
This is really cool. Great worked. Subbed.
This is insane, so well done sir!

It looks so damn cool - great work!

Could you do a tutorial on How to make a Custom Quarter Arcade?
Hello Jamie, that Donkey Kong quarter scale is amazing. I would like to know if you could make one for me, just let me know the cost. I also have every Numskull release to date.
you sell these ?
@@timebandit1266 Not sure if he can because of license - but wouldn't that be flipping awesome though. Wife would kill me, but I would still buy one ^_^
@@geribaldi2 I would buy one but I think Im gonna try to copy what he's done and try it make it myself.

It’s perfect. You should sell these well at least sell me one LOL. Great job.
So perfect I hope they make one I want it! Lol
Great job !!.. How much?!? LOL!
I love it. My first three arcade games i ever played were pac man donkey kong and centipede. Due to multiple boards donkey kong was the best by far. Could you build one for me and what would it cost.
This should've been done instead of the Mario Game & Watch for Mario 35. The Game & Watch is pretty cool, but this would've been amazing.
Hey, how can I got a donkeykong build without the inards. I want to install my pi into a cab. Are you making cabs?
hook me up how much??
Or maybe you could show a parts list or some kind of simple schematic?
I would pay $450.00 for one. Let me know if that is a possibility?
Jamie, what size is the monitor ? have you got a site, with all the different dimensions of the build :)
Just this video, but the monitor is 5", it is a waveshare brand off Amazon.

@@davec544 the top is brass flat strip and I bend it to the right curve. The bottom is a combo of wood and styrene.

I want it
can i buy one please
donkey kong 1/4th scale
How did you measure the round corners to quarter scale?
I just took the cad DXF drawings in my software and scaled it down to 1/4 size.
How for you to make me one
I’ve got donkey Kong on Nintendo Switch I bought the arcade version to be honest it’s not that fun but I do like collecting arcade archives games any games from the arcades from the 80’s cause they cost $7.99 if they costed $60 I wouldn’t buy them when I buy from numskull or arcade 1 up I make sure I buy what plays great everyone would enjoy playing like Pac-Man galaga street fighter so much more donkey Kong you just keep on jumping kind of boring
Are you going to convert a Quarter Arcade?
Mario dykstra do you mean convert an existing numskull cabinet to a different game? I don’t know that it’s really cost effective.
Yeah
How did you size the cabinet to a quarter scale
I took the DXF plans and just scaled them down 25% in my cad drawing program.
@@jamiemcshan Where do I get a DF XPlan I’d like to make one
Thank you for answering my question think you did awesome job and all your arcade give me thank you for your time
I think you did an awesome job and all your arcades and stuff you have made it very talented thank you for your time
