- David The 8-Bit Guy restores a Street Fighter II game in a Dynamo HS-1 cabinet for the Time Rift Arcade in Bedford, TX.
Street Fighter II changed the game. Literally. Released in 1991 by Capcom, it revolutionized the world of arcade fighting games and laid the foundation for the genre's global popularity. Featuring a diverse roster of characters, each with unique fighting styles and special moves, the game allowed players to engage in intense one-on-one battles. With its innovative mechanics, iconic characters like Ryu and Chun-Li, and competitive multiplayer gameplay, Street Fighter II became a cultural phenomenon and a cornerstone in the history of video games.

Follow along as David The 8-Bit Guy restores the legendary Street Fighter II arcade. Coming soon to the Time Rift Arcade in Bedford, TX.
This was so much fun to watch!
Well done!
Looking forward to more arcade restoration videos!
I didn’t realize Time Rift is only going to be within an hour from where I live. I’ll gladly stop by and check the place out when it opens later this year
Oh my, just found this channel and now I've got a lot of videos to catch up on!
We're right up the road in Keller,we'll definitely be visiting when it opens.
YEAH STREET FIGHTER 2!
Can i buy a set of those graphics? Really wamma do the same to my cabinet.
This is the kind of stuff I miss on The 8-Bit Guy's channel.
@@mbs-thailand He did say on one of his previous videos that he wanted to keep the arcade stuff separate from his personal 8 bit guy stuff.
because the way the algorithm works now, if you post anything different on your channel it heavily affects the recommendations to your subscribers.
@@skunkwerkz777 well that I did not know. I thought it was just for the logistics of. I want to keep this kind of material on this channel and this kind of material on the other channel.
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.
Learn something new everyday
@@skunkwerkz777 I still get recommended every video on 8-Bit Guy's channel but they're about the work he's doing on his home, the games he's programmed, etc.
Totally agree with this comment. This was a highly satisfying video.
I would definitely continue to plug this channel on the 8-bit guy channel. A lot of people are looking for more restoration videos there, and this really scratches the same itch!
100% agree.... oh and while we're at it, can you also nag him to make another 8-bit keys video? 😅
/me scratches neck Got anymore of them restore videos?
This channel would probably do better if they put the podcast episodes on a different channel.
I second , or better 'fourth' this!
@@Yarumasithe other day i was like "i havent seen any 8bit keys videos in forever" I looked and its been so long! sad.
"That's older than me"
Excuse me while I turn to dust.
Well, we all do eventually
Yeah… that hit home. I was already well into my career by then!
I cried.
What, what did he say was older than him?
@@marscaleb A coin from 2000.
When I heard you and your brother bought an arcade, I instantly knew you were going it to it the RIGHT way. Fixing up these cabinets and machines will make a huge difference with your customers.
That, and imagine if they had a little diner in there too. I went to a few arcades growing up, but they were only arcades in malls and of course the mall had its own dining area, but I wonder how many arcades were out there with their own little kitchen going on.
@@danieln.285 It's called chuck e cheese look it up.
4:00 - You have to display those tokens! Go down to the local coin shop and get one of those display frames you can hang on the wall, with all the round holes punched for quarters.
I agree 100% it would be so interesting
Great idea!
I'd suggest some kind of coin holder that'll let someone see both sides, set them up on a spinning platform or give each their own. Kinetic token display!
You're not kidding. Tokens have gotten very expensive!
Oh yeah, I'd love some sort of showcase of all the coins/tokens or weird finds like googly eyes!
Ah, Street Fighter 2... THE reason I restored an arcade cabinet myself! Love the arcade stuff!
I'm a 70's baby and thank you for keeping the arcade alive...🙂😊😁
The purple moulding was a really good choice!
Clicked like even before the video even loaded.
SFII was my childhood passion.
SF2 Turbo was better and played faster than SF2 tho.
As a tech for Aladdin's Castle back in the 80's , I appreciate the work you've invested in restoring these machines. Well done, sir, well done.
I've still got some old Aladdin's Castle tokens from last time I was there before they closed in my area.
I recently acquired an Aladdin's Castle Pinball Machine that was in the offices of Aladdin's Castle.
Aladdins Castle was my childhood arcade. I didn't know until very recently that it was a chain.
This is so cool. I always wanted an arcade machine but now that I’m an adult, I realize how much skill is needed to keep these things fresh. I didn’t know about why so many SF 2 cabinets looked differently.
Amazing work on the restoration. Ever since arcades were gone, video games are not the same. That era was different.
Don't know who will say that it's not an original artwork, but the cabinet looks so amazing. It's a beautiful machine!
Awesome restoration David. I'm 43 today and I must say, Street Fighter II holds a special place in my childhood. Glad to see this legendary arcade game live on.
I'd really love more arcade cab restoration videos! Great work
Feel like this is a step in the right direction for David. Really happy with how well he appears to be doing and you can tell he's enjoying it. Keep up the great work.
I'm so glad someone is doing this, because A. I sure don't want to lol, B. I don't want these old, cool arcade machines to get junked, and C. because the restoration process is so interesting. Great video everyone!
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.
Yeah there were a lot of things that were not done well or efficiently as far as the cabinet goes. I am assuming this guy is more of an electric wizard than a craftsman.
@@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.
This was your best video in years! More of these please. Such great memories playing this arcade original back in the early 90's. I remember being absolutely blown away by it.
This entire endeavor feels like a passion project. I wish I could be involved in something like this. What an epic reward and outcome from where you started with this one machine. Thanks for sharing your journey with the new arcade!
I'm really enjoying this restoration content. It reminds me of your retrobrite videos, the original reason I began watching your channel.
Magnificent work
Thank You for your dedication
Long live the video Game history
This is exactly the type of video that the main channel needs more of. Good stuff!
Wishing you guys the very best with this new business! I plan to visit when I am back in TX.
I really appreciate the attention to detail you guys put into everything. That machine looks fantastic.
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.
I have no idea why this was recommended to me but I’m loving this.
The fact you don't know who the 8-bit guy is but love this type of content is sad.
The coin and token collection would make a great display in the arcade.
Always a pleasure to see you guys work
Always been a big fan of David and his restoration work. I'm glad he gets to do that more for the arcade
What an AWESOME video! Thank you for sharing the restoration of this arcade cabinet!
Fantastic work! Turned out beautiful. I love these restoration videos!
Wonderful to see you and the guys' enthusiasm really coming through in these Time Rift videos! Such a great project.
Love Street Fighter. That was my go to game in my teens. Other fighting games came along, but none of them had the special place in my heart like Street Fighter 2.
Same here, alternatives were King of Fighters '95, Fatal Fury 2 and Samurai Shodown at the arcades in my youth.
Such a satisfying video, and the cabinet looks beautiful, well done and long live Street Fighter 2!
I died when :
“-It’s dated from the year 2000
- Hey, that’s older than me 😂”
Sounds recent af to me
that’s about as old as me lol
Lol. 2000 was awesome. Had my first really expensive meal at a French restaurant. No Y2K bugs either.
@@pobleme too, I'll be 24 this year, just a few more months left.
And that's the last time it may have been used. It was created around 1990-1992
I bet that the Commander X16 would benefit for a impressive Street Fighter II port.
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...
As a fellow person that used to restore and repair old video and pinball games, this was fun to stroll down memory lane. Thanks!!
Fascinating how much love, time, and afford you guys put into these restaurations, you can be proud of yourselves! It's a joy to watch these videos!
Hell Yes... This is my Christmas.
I'm a little disappointed that after all of the great work on this fantastic restoration , Cammy is still not in the game 🤣
Absolutely fantastic! This scratches the itch that many of us are looking for and allows David to keep doing newer things on his channel. Best of both worlds.
So glad you still do restoration videos somewhere. This stuff is so pleasantly zen.
The artwork for the sides is so good
it warms my heart that someone out there is restoring these cool machines! thank you
You guys are amazing, thanks for saving these and giving them a new life!
Man, the 8 Bit Guy can literally do anything - kind of jealous
It's more a carpenter or sign maker work than a electrical restoration, but it's not your fault, the electronics were almost in mint condition. The results are really awesome, and the magic touch was the purple T-mold. Simply delightful.
This is honestly so amazing to watch. I think it's awesome what you guys did and it looks like a really cool restoration job.
I love the very 90's decal used ... Absolutely perfect. I miss those times...
Thank you SO much for this video. Inspiring and put a smile on my face. Proud to see the care you all put into this restoration.
Could watch this all day long. Amazing how many different skills and tools are required for this and you guys seem to be able to do all of it.
I can't speak on how original that is, but it's certainly authentic and respectful. Well done! It's looking cracking.
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!
Mad respect for the time, effort and love you put into this ! Stunning !
This restoration really makes happy, you guys are really dedicated! Great work!
love it! just came across this channel. I love seeing old stuff get repaired. Makes me very happy for some reason, I have no idea why!
Truly amazing evolution of 8bit guy's restoration vids. Love these vids!!
It is truly a thing of beauty. I can't believe how good a job you all did. Just takes me back to my school days. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for keeping these alive!!!
I really like the longer format video like this one compared to the other videos. Awesome work as always.
Aladdin's Castle was my home away from home. Super memories. Love this channel.
This is phenomenal work. I wish arcades around here put as much care and attention into their restorations.
love these arcade restoration videos!, amazingly the arcade works with no problems and that's a true testament of the quality of the arcade board and the monitor.
That's a lot of work you guys put into each machine, but it looks to be worth it in the end! Awesome job.
Excellent restoration video, need to see more of these amazing retro arcade cabinets being restored.
Awesome video! I have been watching 8-Bit Guy videos over the past few years. Your focus isn’t always on topics I would seek out, but your videos are so engaging that I always watch until the end. Hope to see more projects here!
That was awesome and satisfying! Great job always wanted to see this stuff.
That was a thoroughly enjoyable watch! Fascinating to see the huge printer in action and how you mount the vinyl stickers afterwards.
Great job David and all the team! It was very fun to watch!
GREAT job on this everyone. That looks like a brand new cabinet, beautiful work!
That's a wonderful refurb job. I quite enjoy these worklog type videos
Really great video. Really impressed with how good you all are with fixing these machines up. Good on you for putting in that work to not only restore them but upgrading them to be more efficient. Great stuff.
You did an awesome job! ❤ The cabinet art is awesome 🎉
Love the longer video!!! Love the new content. Love seeing the Brothers work together.
You all did an absolutely stunning job on this machine and a great video, thank you.
This is one of the best videos on this platform I have watched recently. I found it fascinating. Awesome. Thanks to the makers of the video, David and his brother, Mike, and the young guy who was committed in his work ethic. Kudos. I love Street Fighter. Even since I ventured into a local arcade and snooker hall as a teenager.
Awesome job on that old machine. It turned out beautiful. I really like the vinyl graphics you added. Look forward to other restorations.
Amazing! That was very satisfying to watch-it also brought back a lot of memories. My brother and I grew up on Street Fighter. In fact, we still play till this day! Great video. 👌🏽
Wow! For me you made this machine look better than when it was new. The new graphics on the side pieces update the entire appearance of the game. Great work. I am glad I clicked on this video.
Came here from the 8bit guy's channel. Great video. You guys hit all the beats and put out a great restoration vid. Thanks! I hope to see more and more!
Having done a few arcade restores myself, I love videos like this. Good job!
A great video with an impressive restauration result. Well done!
Amazing job. Good work fellas. Keep preserving history one machine at a time.
Awesome job on the restoration. That machine brought back so many memories for me. It felt like seeing it for the first time in the arcades.👍🏽
I'm glad this appeared in the Recommended section. I was not yet subscribed. That was a great outcome. It was very satisfying to watch the restoration work. I always say there's nothing more popular than watching other people work. With all of your knowledge and skills together I'm sure you will make the arcade a success.
Not only it makes me very happy to watch an Arcade being restored, but this video is an excellent source of good ideas and techniques to use if you want to do the same. There are many videos of Arcade restorations, of course, but not so many with this quality and smart development! Thank you!
What an amazing restoration guys. The Arcade machine looks beautiful now. I wish I had room in my home to have one.
Watching this made me so happy. You fellows are real craftsmen.
Absolutely wonderful job you guys. I enjoyed the video. Keep up the good works 😊👍
What an amazing transformation, you guys have a remarkable talent for bringing these machines back to their best.
You guys are doing an amazing thing saving these old machines. Love how much effort you're putting into the things you don't see either. A true passion project.
Hopefully I can get over to the US and visit sometime!
This, sir, is a work of art. Beautiful job! ❤
This machine is the physical embodiment of "radical". Turned out excellent!
Great video David. I look forward to seeing more content like this.
I could watch these videos all day. Great job
I would watch every single one of your restorations. I just realized you're a new channel, subbed, I look forward to move restorations.
WOWW, Dave, you guys did a GREAT job on that facelift, it looks SO MUCH BETTER!
looks absolutely amazing! great job
