      Because the viewer that wants to watch 8-Bit computer system videos may not want to watch him restoring arcade cabinets. So it makes sense to have two channels. One for the arcade and one for the computer stuff but I didn't know that about the TH-cam algorithm.

    An inexpensive 40" wide plexiglass heater/bender would be a good addition to your shop. With that, you could have added wrap-around plexi on the control panel to avoid the uncomfortable edge. Even a sanded and flame-polished edge can be uncomfortable on the wrist and palm after a few minutes of playing.

      @@NONO-hz4voI don't agree. A lot more care was taken with this mod/refurb than was taken with 90% of the conversions that happened when the original kit was released. Between Dave & Mike, they've got more than enough craftsmanship to go around, in addition to the electronics background you suggested. Bottom line is that this is their cabinet, so they can do what they want. For me, it was a great watch.

      The trickiest problem is that 32 byte memory window between VRAM and System RAM. You either shrink the characters to roughly Double Dragon relative size (32 pixels high on average), or else settle for 30 Hz frame rate(or slower) and/or at least 32 second load times between matches. Oh, if only there was another processor on the VERA board to babysit the blanking cycles, leaving more clock cycles for the 65C02 to load tiles and sprite frames into VRAM...

      Same here, alternatives were King of Fighters '95, Fatal Fury 2 and Samurai Shodown at the arcades in my youth.

    Really sweet video! All the exact same good vibes as old school 8 Bit Guy videos. Would love to see more.

    Absolutely love the restoration! I miss my machines I owned before moving to Los Angeles and taking the time to restore them was always fun :)
    The only advice/change I would suggest is to put a bezzle graphic on. These games usually had some graphics around the monitor to both break up the large black void, and to hold info on combo moves and such. Really makes the machine feel complete and given all you already did, wouldn't be a huge amount of work. Especially since you want this open to the public. Aside from that, awesome work and can't wait to see more!

    The fact that you lovingly restore Arcade classics makes me smile, I know arcades were popular back in the 70's/80's. But i never got to play in one, and since i live in the UK, by the time I was old enough to play in an arcade, most of them were gone. There are still a few around, but I have rarely found one to play in since I don't drive.

    As a tech enthusiast, I watch these kind of restoration videos because I like to get a job or open my own repair shop doing just this; whether if it's arcades, pinball, or desktop PCs.
    As far as this arcade goes, you did a great job restoring it. It was a dusty piece of junk in the beginning, but then you made it like factory new. Great job!

    From someone who does not have a single DIY bone in his body, it was so satisfying to watch you restore my favourite childhood arcade game. It really was a great job. Only thing it was missing was the bezel around the screen, but great work nonetheless 🇬🇧

    Amazing work on the restoration. Ever since arcades were gone, video games are not the same. That era was different.

    I put so many quarters into a machine just like this in the 90s. Back corner of a convenience store, where the smell of stale milk couldn't break my excitement. Thanks for giving this unit so much love and attention. Had no idea you had this channel, love it.

    Amazing restoration! You guys did such a professional and high-quality restoration of this cabinet that I see it as what the standard for Street Fighter II cabinets would have looked like if they weren't a kit game. I love the work you guys did so much, I come back and watch the whole video three times each week! It really is awesome.

    Reminds me of working the arcade at Knott's 30 years ago. Watching your arcade vids, I would love working there if I lived in the area. Street Fighter 2 was one of our best draws.

    Awesome. A real labor of love between you and your brother and the staff. That game is probably in the top 3 most successful games of all time I would imagine. A classic in every sense of the word!

    The music in this game never gets old, ground breaking. This game still holds up today and I enjoy it even more than the modern games most of the time.

    Thank you so much for this channel. I'm in the process of designing and building a few of my own cabinet from scratch, and these videos have not only answered many questions I've been wondering about, but also shed some points on some of the more nuance things I never really have any thought. Thank you so much!

      Yeah those slender sticks were the best. Made pulling off the special moves easier than with the ball top sticks.
