Aww man i remember those Arcade Cabinets or Machines whatever you want to call it back in the 1980s and 1990s. AHH FUK! My head hurts!

That has to be one of the besting looking MAME cabs Ive seen,nice work.
yeah, this fucken video is a how to.

I’m sad about the fact that none of those tutorials go into the software part, how to exactly install windows lightly and fix the frontend with the games.

There is a basic softwareguide on the homepage now.

i really like the cabinet.i actually prefered it with without all the orange logo’s and stuff. was much nicer when it was all black with the defender header. im thinking of getting the x arcade controller also and swapping the joystick out and modding the box itself. i’ll then make the cabinet to house the x arcade perfectly, hex shaped front and all. looking to do this next month. hopefully.nice work though dude
I disagree. I think it looks really snappy. I’d do purple, myself, but still.
Not a stupid, but rather an irrelevant, comment.
by running different emulators on the pc it’s possible to play virtually any arcade game
That looks awesome, very professional.
ill buy one off of you with no monitor or cpu parts just cabinet and control panel
jsut go to any seaside town where there was loads off arcades. look at the back and youl probs see 1 or 2 fucked up cabs. offer the guy some cash to take it off his hand so he can replace it with another gambler. i went to south shileds and saw a few standup cabs. GLOC with joystick, bubble bobble, couldve been multi PCB and load of sit down ones all wiht messed up screens and he would have got rid of them for next to nofn
Whats the name of the song in this video?
excellent, elegant and simple my inspiration to build one.Great job!!!
ONe of the best builds ive seen so far, awsome job
I have a couple questions. How far away is each button from eachother? What gauge wire did you use?
i know how you could make these for about 90 dollarsstep 1 build a wood frame of the machine step 2 get a NES and and a copy of something that was in the arcades (pacman)step 3 get a medium size TV and make it the screen at a slight angle step 4 hook up the nintendo and angle the TV slightlystep 5 get an NES Advantage and put it where the controls would beStep 6 turn on the nintendo with your game cart in it now you have your own arcade machine
this song makes me want to party
Probably the best MAME cabinet in the world!We are building one too reusing a lot of your design (btw thank you for the autocad files!) although we have expanded it a bit to get room for a CRT We will finish it this weekend.
how much does a cab like this weigh ? I’m looking into doing something like this. But I want to make it as light weight as possible.
I dont wanna be too rude, but i gotta say, that would be a pretty crappy arcade cabinet.
Very impressive, man - and what a great idea!
I’d love to have free computer(pretty bad one, well not too good, not too bad, but pretty cheap) and some materials for it. I defenetly would do it. I mean that can’t be too hard, except for buttons and joy pad.
Yeah, but I wonder how you would hook up emulators from PC? Or your own fighting game made up with Mugen?
You whimped out and bought a predmade control system! Make your own its more fun and means you can simulate real layouts of original machines (if you make a retro remake for example)
WAIT question..what about for racing games for arcade. whats its specs? help
Awesome!
man that cab is clean. also where did you get your artwork?
WOW THIS lOOKS SO EASY(not)
sanwa JLW, gross, i think i might throw up
How much did it cost you? Where do you live? Great job! Kudos!
Forget it$1400 in Denmark.Dude, more respect to you. +++
Ummm, how is this video supposed to help someone know how to build a MAME cab? Wiring, parts, etc? I kinda think the title is misleading.
check out his website. it has all the plans and everything you need to know how to build the cab.
Very Not Bad!
looks like youve learned all the fun of building the whole thing is in the control panel! i love wiring it up.. im building a 4 player mame machine and ive revised my wiring a couple times already, haha.. these look good though!
Did you ever think to.. oh I don’t know.. click the link in the description? Nyuk-Nyuk.
im curious what did you use for paint?
that is aweome.. i could’nt image how long that all took… what song was that please ?
We live in a expensive country
Yeah very nice and clean work! I like the artworks and it’s all well done!I would put a crt dispaly like a big television instead of a lcd screen due to the closest arcade response of crt system, but your work remains wonderfull!
Man i am definetely going to make this! One question though if someone could help me, i understand everything but how would the joysticks and buttons etc connect up with the computer, keyboard or whatever? Help would be great thanks!
are Sanwa buttons wired the same way as the buttons you used?
Yes, using the X-arcade interface. I recommend the Ultimarc Minipac USB though, thats much easier and cheaper.
Awesome5/5
thank you very much!
awesome stuff, wish I had those kinda skills. I cheated with a console and x-arcade 2p
Nice side art. Custom made?
Excellent !!!
I missed the how to part. Where’s that? How does this have 5 stars?! It’s a friggin slideshow not a how to video!
I guess you didn’t finish the video to his URL where he tells you hoe to do it. It’s just a summary of how to built the cabinet. I understood the steps, though… put wood put together, apply a finish, put in controls, speakers, monitor, etc.Some people have productive hobbies and some people bash hard work on youtube.
this is such a wonderfully sleek and compact design, looking forward to making one like this myself
A link isn’t a how to video but no i didn’t watch it. I don’t plan on doing this. I’m just interested in watching people make these. Why i don’t know.
I like the video a lot it was very informative, i also wanted know what the music song is from cause i love the beat so much from that video of your’s. I personally wish i had my own arcade center someday, then i wouldn’t have to buy games so often to keep me busy as much.
What type of monitor are you using there? I notice there’s no flicker from the camera.
19″ lcd, saw that at his site… Awesome machine, looks fantastic, if only it had a crt monitor…
how did u do the cardbord box
