would be awesome to walk around and hear arcade ambient noise too..
They actually do have animated screens for each one available, with more being produced each day. But like you say, you probably need a beefy processor. I have an Core2Duo E6600 with an 8800 GTS and 4 gb of RAM, hopefully that is sufficient.
Fing Amazing!
chingonsisimo!!!
Awesome! At mall 4 floor wizard arcade. Nice!
does anyone know of any website now that still offer downloadable files for 3d arcdae? I just recently got into this MAME stuff but every website I go to for files like cabinets and marqees havent been updated in like 4-6 years and the files are gone.
Looks too real!!
Even has its own change machines too! Anyone got tokens?? (lol)
where do you download
Nice job on updating all the machine artwork
man how do u make it work i just down loaded it today can u send me a file with the instructions to configure it
would love this to work on my cab but keeps crashingathlon xp 1.6ghz 512mb ram,80gb hdd,geforce 6200 128mb xp home
I had this up and running it is VERY VERY time consuming setting this up the way you want it.. but its very cool looking and a lot of fun if you have the time. You’ll have to do a lot of reading and trial and error to get what you want with it.

That would work with no problems! I was running a much slower pc and I had videos for over 100 arcade cabinets running fine.. it was a thing of beauty it. It almost looked like the arcade I went to as a teenager

where did you get this??
where did you get this??
what is it called
If Any of You decide in getting this I warn You, YOU WILL LOVE TO HATE THIS after a time but What I will comment on is it’s time WELL spent I assure You, I’ve spent over a year configuring this and there are still a few kinks that need ironing out, Mine is about 80-90% complete.Working:MAMEVisual PinballFruit MachinesAll Consoles(except saturn + Dreamcast)Movie Screens(With Movies)Cab Video’sNot Working:JukeBoxDaphneI’ll get around to them.100% Pure Nostalgia
Put Cab Video’s in the Dummys/Videos folder only.All of the emulators need a little tweeking here and there to get working but You’ll do it and with this one patience is a virtue.IF You don’t have patience don’t bother, This requires dedication, Time and above all Patience.We who have completed this Front End are Nostalgia Crackheads or Arcade Junkies, I am both, I get a high every time this is launched and Have a Nostalgia rush of the Arcade Days, Ahhh nice
Here’s some advice Before getting this.Get a BIG Hard Drive(500GB or 1TB) just for 3D ArcadeMake Backup CFG(Config) folder on a different Hard Drive(3D arcade is Soooo Easy to Break and it tends to have off days so be wary and wise)Put ALL ROMS and Emulators in The correct Directories in the EMULATOR FolderWhen You create a movie Playlist from Folder Contents in the configuration Menu.Bat, Remember to Copy the list to the Arcade Folder too(COPY, DON’T Drag n Drop.Happy FE
OMFG! That’s awesome!
Looks beautiful!
this is fake
Of COURSE it’s fake! I should know, I was the one who faked it! The real arcade that this is based on has been gone for 15 years!
im considering getting this
@Dhergham12345rules No it’s not. It’s a front end called 3DArcade for Mame. I don’t think it’s being developed anymore but it’s still available.
@mynamesforest Well, the software hasn’t changed recently, but people are still making cabinets, pinball tables and artwork for the front end, and the forum still has people who actively help with installation and such.
It will take ages to find a game from there. =)
@dkovar it is not fake Its a MAME Frontend
@WickedGr Sorry, I should have used a sarcasm font. I’m just pointing out that the actual arcade in New York City is no longer around, but the 3darcade model still exists. And I would know that, as I was the one who modeled it for 3darcade (I go by “fossil” on that site.)
@dkovar douchebag … its an app for MAME
@MrNiceHk OK, I don’t know if I can be any more clear about this. The video posted above is indeed a capture from 3Darcade. The particular arcade environment SHOWN in the video is a recreation of an actual arcade that no longer exists, but once stood in Penn Station, in mid-town Manhattan in the 1970’s through early 1990’s. I would know that because I was the person who performed the 3D modeling of that arcade, and submitted it to the 3DArcade site for use with the application.
@dkovar apologies sarcasm does not communicate well over the internet … nice job … just getting into MAME ….happy happy days .. I can feel a new obsession coming on
wow, that atmosphere was very nostalgic for me ; ;
mameworld (DOT) info / 3darcadezophar (DOT) net / frontends / mame / 3d-arcade (DOT)htmlThat was actually a pain to find with google. If anyone knows of other 3D Arcade sites, please let me know.
Check out my videos if you want a real 3D arcade. Not a fake one like this.
@retrocopy Ralph, why are you such a hater? Clearly you have a nice operation going at RC, and your audio effects are likely superior to 3DArcade, but you’re comparing apples and oranges. Your stuff focuses on console emulators (and one small arcade system emulator) and the 3D interface to access them. The one arcade cabinet you show is a generic model. 3DArcade is a universal front-end for any emulator (including yours) with realistic cabinets. Neither is any more “fake” than the other.
@dkovar A hater? To me it is quite fake when the machines don’t work properly and simply display cached animations and sounds, that is what my fake comment is about. To some people it matters. There are pros/cons to both though, as you said 3DArcade/MAME support a lot of different arcade systems and RetroCopy only supports three (Sega System 1+2 were added recently). There are new models and new systems being added all the time though, check my latest video to see.
@retrocopy Good response! I truly didn’t wish to start trouble, and I agree that 3DArcade has certain, well, issues (old 3D engine, clunky DIY setup), not to mention using attract videos and canned audio instead of what I assume are sprites accessing the actual emulators in real time. I think your use of “real” and “fake” without that further explanation, and the fact that you’ve gone around to several of the 3DArcade videos posting what could be taken as confrontational language got me going.
@dkovar I guess it just depends on whether you associate the word “fake” as valid criticism or as an attack. One advantage to “faking” is you can have many more machines “appearing” to do something even though they aren’t. I posted on some 3Darcade videos because the people interested in that will also be interested in RetroCopy and it’s different take on things. I didn’t mean to come across as it’s perfect in every way.
All you retards who say this is fake are themselves fake. Fake brains and eyes. this is a MAME frontend. It actually exists, do a search on the net for it and quit trolling.
Damn that’s awesome I tries to make one but whenever I try to play a game it just zooms in and out
THESE FRONT END ARCADES ARE SHIT, IT DONT EVEN DISPLAY THE FUCKING GAME THAT U GOT, FAKE!
Nice job… How do you get 3d arcade to go fullscreen? Great video. It takes me back.
@111random It does work, it took a few moments to figure it out. When you enter the program you have to specify which emulator you want to use for your roms, in my case my exe is Mameui 64. Also remember to create a Mame folder in your 3d Arcade emulators directory. You also have to point to where you roms are. Pm, me if you’re still having difficulties. The Emulators directory doesnt exist by default. nor does the Mame folder. Move all of your Mame stuff into that new folder.
É nada!
