That button layout is triggering me hardcore.
now you know why it took a year
I'm pretty sure you can set the button layout to your preference. I know I am. I'm planning on making a Street Fighter bartop cabinet with my stepdad, and I'm gonna do a sensible layout.
You and me both. I have never seen a layout with a flipped namco layout.
lul no sound either
2:40 when you realize it's time to invest in some clamps
I would recommend using a primer before you pained it to give it a more arcade feel. There is a website that also offers custom vinyl for graphics. You could also use some resin on the wood to give it that nice glossy smooth feel. All in all great job guys
Epoxy?
Been following you for at least 1 1/2 and saw you two on Tech Yes City. You are doing great keep up the great work!!
About time LoL And no a laser won't cut that thick of wood. You'll need a large CNC machine like the 4'x8' one at lvl1.
Very cool, I know what I'm doing this month
Are you guys from Kentucky?
Wait, that's not Seth Rogan?
The button layout is upside-down. But otherwise, pretty nice job!
to be fair, it took them over a year LOLLLLLLLLL
they should just flip the piece of wood ... may take some time to re attach all buttons but will be confortable
@@contytub oh my god. They totally did do the wood flipped upside down.
Just paint the other side and it's fine
Lol
Lol
The one on the right looks like Seth Rogan
Came down to the comments to say the same thing. LOL!
Lol. I thought that too!
You guys goofed the button layout a bit
You should do a toasty bros themed build where the case looks like a toaster. Or even better *the case is a toaster with a itx system inside*
We actually have one on our channel lol!
This is exactly what I want to build. I'll probably either sand down the panels smoove before painting or just use contact paper. I'd also set the monitor vertical if your planning to play any actual arcade games through MAME.
I like the video production and the premise but there's no information, or evidence if you like, to back the $100 arcade build claims. I think a brief run down of the cost would prove a very different story. Because you had various parts lying about doesn't mean they're freely available to everyone, making the $100 claim pointless. When you've factored in all these things: Paint, Buttons and Sticks (which don't look budget!), Plywood, Perspex, Raspberry Pi (maybe just a zero?), Adapter for non-hdmi screen, USB encoders with cables, RGB led lights with remote, Second hand monitor, Paper to print logo, Metal brackets for screen, Hardware and padlock for door, Velcro, SD card for Pi, Power cables. Sorry, thats not $100.
Probably missed something but I think you see what i'm saying. I just think its wrong to say you built this for so cheap when thats clearly non true. At least attempt to give a list of the costs for your viewers at the end!
That's what I'm saying. Maybe just maybe slightly under 200
We definitely gotta do an updated build fam! Show us what you’ve learned along the way! You guys are amazing with all of the work and sharing that you do!💪🤓
Not actually 100 if u dont have the pi already or the wood and wires or access to free monitor. Closest I got was 40 for wood, 60 for jamma card, 40 for jamma cable buttons and wiring and power supply, 80 for an old 19" monitor from a site that does refurbished monitors.
This design is all wrong. Or better, it's lacking of any wise design choice. You are trying to replicate the classic bartop arcade cabinet style but that was designed around a bulky CRT monitor and huge motherboard with a mess of cables. Our modern components are small and thin taking very little space, and the unit should be re-designed around them.
Also that unitis too small to be a 2-players cabinet and too big to be a single player unit.
How many times will you use it with a friend VS how many times you will casually play with it alone?
You can plug a controller for those rare 2 players occasions, as like the NeoGeo Mini did.
This should be something for casual gaming that sits on your desk without taking much space, I'd say something with a screen not bigger than 10-12 inches.
The top part is unnecessary, the speakers can be placed anywhere else (I'd make a few holes under the screen or at the sides). In a small unit like this stereo sound does not even makes much sense. One small woofer would be enough, considering the most of pre-90's games have Mono sound and you won't need to pump it loud.
The rounded profile you went for just makes the cutting more challenging. A simple and slightly inclined L-shape will do the job.
Also the whole unit can be much slimmer and compact, no need of all that empty space inside.
If you use a cheap Raspberry Pi 3 A+ it's so smal you can stick anywhere under the control pad or behind the screen and route a power cable where you need it.
The controls pad should be larger by height, and with a lower profile, that way you are not forced to push your palms on an edge but resting them completely on the control pad.
The buttons layout should be similar to the NeoGeo AES, the coin and the start buttons should be in the middle, no need for an additional drilled piece on the front that makes unnecessary thickness.
I'm in the process to build my own since no design I see around fits in my taste, both aesthetically and functionality wise.
I thought you were Seth Rogan
Seth Rogen?
Haha good for a first build but its almost too shitty to make a video of. Also t-molding is cheap and is your friend.
For the first few seconds, I was wondering what Seth Rogan was going to say.. then when he opened his mouth, I realized that it wasn't him..
Why is the Vewlix layout upside down for the buttons?
Dude..that made me a squirm a bit
Ok I guess for not having any skills but it's not a 100$ arcade. You never added in the price of wood that you paid, plexi,usb encoder or wire harness. And a year and a half in production and you guys got the button layout upside down. Way to misinform and mislead everyone. Thanks
Just showcasing a project we did, wasn’t meant to be a tutorial :)
@@ToastyBros all good if the name of the video was how to build a bartop arcade under 200. But it's not 100. Home arcades are all subjective what one person likes another person hates. But my issue is with claim that you built it for 100$ it's just not close to possible. You didnt list half the material you used to build it
Nice. Sadly, unless a person has access to the power tools required to do this, its not cost effect. $100 for the cab parts, $1000 for the power tools. Might be a good way to justify power tools that could be put to use on future projects.
The only power tool in the entire video is a $30 jigsaw from Harbor Freight... You can buy a $10 box of shovel bits to make up for the drill press.
New TubeBuddy video? I like the change up
This is awesome! Wish this was a more step by step detailed video for anyone who would want to do this because it sparked my interest. Great Vid 👍🏻
There are plenty of videos out with a lot more detail and the posters answer all questions type in BUILD A BARTOP ARCADE.
I am making a larger bartop with the dimensions 27"H 30½"w 16"D
I am a big guy and those small ones look really uncomfortable even for those little guys lol.
Why would you put 16:9 monitor to a retro game setup? All the games are in 4:3.
Didn’t know Seth Rogan was a carpenter
I think you forgot to factor in the price of tools for an average gamer who probably doesn’t have any tools.
Jotaku X once you buy them you can build other things too
Everything you had to do to install Raspberry Pi
Sorry I meant how to build a Raspberry Pi how to put one together
Can you make a video on how you hook up a Raspberry Pi to the screen
it is just an Hdmi cable and an adapter.
And the price of tools? The price of the acrylic panel? The price of the paper? The price of the paint? The price of the hinges and lock? The price of the speaker? 🤔
I am sorry to hurt your feeling guys but if nobody tells you the truth you wont learn. That arcade looks like crap (to put it mildly) It looks like a chicken coop. You did not even download a template to cut the arcade, you drew it by hand. WTF??? You can see the screws between wood panels, you did not even bother to install the buttons the right way, they are backwards!!! and that is with those cables coming out of te top of that door? 6:47 WTF?? How can this take a year?? With all that equipment you had you should have done a way better job.
Alex Winter and Seth Rogen doing DIY builds?? EXCELLENT!!
😂😂
If you guys don't play the machine much you could definitely use it as recording set piece
Nice to see a build that doesn't include a hole workshop full of expensive tools because all I have is cordless jigsaw, dril; and sander
*whole
Not gonna lie, looks like trash guys
i dunno does not look that good done
You botched the buttons dude.
It's on the amateurish side. Buttons are backwards. Use led buttons. Get a professional vinyl print. Your marquee looks like it was printed out of an inkjet printer. I would put plexiglass on the monitor and on the controller. It makes a big different and blings it out hiding the imperfections.
Btw you don't even need fancy tools to do this. The tools here cost way too much. You just need a drill (with the right drill bits for the button sizes) and two manual handsaws, one for straight and one for the curves.
Cool, very cool. But I wouldn't call that an Arcade Cabinet, because those would go on the floor. This is a Bartop Arcade, because it goes on a "Bartop" or a table or whatever else.
100$ good joke, there are missing a lot of things, like wood, glue, colors, amplifier, speaker, hinges, plexiglass, sticker, power adapter...
Buy slightly nicer MDF have the edges routered tap in the edge trim , I'd not waste £100 just better to save and do it right
I don't think you've heard of primer. You even say if you had to do it over, you would use better paint. The paint was not the issue; you needed to use primer before the paint. Today I purchased two gallons of Kilz2 White Primer for $25. One gallon was $19 and a quart was $10. A quart of primer could have covered over the ugly plywood pattern making it look like you used solid wood after painting.
I want to make my own machine but isnt it illegal to have roms?
Would love to see an upgrade to the arcade! Build it in the style of a Japanese candy cab arcade with used pc parts.
Hey guys, could you revisit your motor cycle helmet PC? You could use the new Asrock A300 STX motherboards with a Ryzen APU. That’s the video that brought me to your Channel and I guess it’s a case mod?
0:00
Me: they are using a Raspberry Pi!
Other people: how do you know?
Me: undervoltage warning in the upper right corner of the screen...
The guy in the Kentucky basketball shirt does anybody else notice he looks like Seth rogen ..... Almost like when he went to get his haircut and beard trimmed they're all right sir what would you like us to do today he's like give me the Seth rogen please
You might want to put some aluminum foil behind your logo to diffuse the light a little more, but other than that, very nice build. Working on getting all the parts for one myself.
Compromises of course abd It`s cool that you could make this for $100 however ...... if you could put a sensible price on the amount of man hours that it took too build then how much has it cost then ?
you made the 6 buttons wrong... usually on the arcade they were or horizontal or ascending.. not descending. anyway good work!
@3:19 Move that damn thing, how dare you block that car?
We need a vid about the car
The button layout 😱 when you have no idea how it should be done saaddd
Honestly, I do not like this design + you forgot the speakers... anyways feedback = feedback
The Amazon buttons and joysticks that they put looks different to the ones they used. Why is this?
"...but it wasn't the worst thing in the world and was kind of a bonding experience", just as he goes right between the legs, Lol! ;) Seriously though, really enjoyed the video and gives me inspiration to finally get off my butt and put an arcade cabinet together. Just subscribed!!!
This is what i want to build! Keep up the good work, Seth Rogen! 😂
Why did you install the control panel upside down? That button layout is not correct.
but the hinges are facing out? lol Sorry just had to be smart... nice vid
The fuck is Seth Rogan doing getting into the videogame business?? Lol
I can't be the only one thinking that the guy in the blue shirt looks like tech Seth Rogen
More case mods!!!! Do an all acrilic case build instead of cardboard - you could always have like a metal frame for more support
Did anyone notice that the buttons are curved the wrong way 😂😂😂
Holy fuck I never seen someone that looks exactly like Seth Rogen
BEST ARCADE BUILD - FOR THE LOWEST COST.
That’s awesome. I have an ICade cabinet that I was thinking about transitioning into a full arcade. This video gives me ideas that might help with mine. If you have any advice on how to switch the buttons to work with the raspberry pi I would appreciate it.
When you order Seth Rogan on Wish
Dat 620 Bulletside in the back though 👀
Seth Rogan after smoking weed could have done better
Didn't know seth rogan built stuff on youtube
Don't use Chicago electric tools guys.. lol
What the hell is up with that button layout?
that voltage drop icon on the Pi screen is triggering
How much was the cabinet by itself? I wanna buy one and throw in my old Xbox one in there to make it a Tekken 7 arcade cabinet
Just the price of a big 4 foot by 8 foot sheet of plywood from Lowes. Maybe $20 total including screws!
WHY is the button layout upside down?
So like do I have to play this upside down since the buttons are upside down?
soulassassin0g yes you’re supposed to stand with your back to the machine and do a backbend, that’s why the screen is sideways
hey Seth Rogen lmfao
Nice job guys! Makes me want to try something like this!
Would've done this but I decided to buy some arcade kit online and it didn't work out ($150 down the drain), then i just bought some joystick gamepads and they worked.
fun project. It's a deep rabbit whole to go down.. (I've built full size uprights, old console conversions, ps classic conversion, etc...)
On a side note, check your power supply for your PI. The bolt icon in the corner means it's not getting enough power.
$100 arcade cabinet.....that's worth it.
oh shit.. that's not Seth Rogan...
You should make a another budget build of of ebay or amazon
Builds arcade to play console games 😂
1/4" plywood? No... That is 1/2" plywood. Should have shown more of the actual build process.
I just measured it and sure enough it is indeed 1/4" plywood :)
Sweet. What size plywood used?
$100. Minus all the free materials laying around. 🤦♂️
Still isn’t that expensive dude😂
I thought that was Seth Rogen for a sec there
Cheapest button layout imaginable
Quite a few unsafe practices there 🤨😳
I tought the guy on the right was set Rogan.
This is a cool project. It kind of motivated me to use my old 7700k, spare gpu, and some other stuff to try and make a baller arcade cabinet.
100 to build it, and 3000 $ in tools?
You should do a vr pinball machine
Lol coping games over usb
Noobs
nice work. add some polyurethane to the whole thing and add a clear plastic protector over the buttons so the black paint doesn't rub off.
Seth Rogan's brother?!?!
Dude looks like seth rogan.
