I am completely blown away by this video and everything you did in it! I personally think these cabinets are AMAZING! Keep up the phenomenal work! I was about to say "you should sell these". Then also realized how asinine that would be seeing as, in order to make it profitable for yourself (worth your time) you would likely have to "mark them up" to be either on par with or exceeding the price of those 1up's (which I feel you just one upped)! After all, the whole point of DIY is that it's cheaper than buying something "mass produced"! Even after having to find a CNC to "rent" or "borrow" etc... I do hope to one day build a few cabinets myself, after other life priorities are fulfilled first! I can only hope they turn out as "nice" as these (probably will not use your design, will likely make my own from scratch)...
@RetroBuiltGames3 ай бұрын
Why thank you! You said likely the most thoughtful comment here that covers the full spectrum of emotions. These arcades can only be DIY'd because the level of effort put into them was fueled solely on my emotional attachment to video games. Not something that's feasible in a monetary sense. Hopefully seeing that it is possible might be the push to get others building what they day dream about. The reality here (completely ignored by condensing this into a video) is I dreamed about this setup since 2016. A lot of small skill building challenges via this hobby eventually gave me the opportunity; and that opportunity meant working hundreds of hours to build what's shown in the video.

Oh i have a diy arcade. But i did go on all things the easy route no pcb or crazy wiring. Things that can work together without modifications. Things i did custom was a Glas plate and an marquee wich i designed with an old free paintshop. The cabinet was precut. I selfbuild a coin dropin for it and did some led lighting and paint it with several layers . For the back i used door magnets and put fans i to it. But all on a hobby quality 😅 i cant really sell it this way. But looks good. Works with a energysaving hp zhin client for 20€ and an 20 year old samsung lcd around 21" and around a 20 year old pc subwoofer. I did use new speaker from amazon. Time for me 3 months. Could do this about maybe one hour at night in the winter.... Outside 😂 I stayed away from all games wich are not meant to be played on such a cabinet. For that there is my sofa!

Awesome job as usual! Your attention to detail is just incredible. I liked the inclusion of Kirby's Dream Course in your footage of the SNES arcade. Such an underrated game! Quick question, why would running the arcades for 24 hours not require 24x the amount of power of running them for 1 hour? Is it because there is an initial power consumption that occurs when you power on the machines?
@RetroBuiltGames2 жыл бұрын
Thanks. Awesome question. The total power used is always the same, that's the nature of the Watt unit (current * volts). When i turn on more arcades, the voltage stays the same but the current draw goes up. These together is the consumption of power (watts). We (I'm in the USA) buy energy in kWh ( Kilowatt Hours). This is a measure of electrical energy equivalent to a power consumption of 1,000 watts for 1 hour. In my area I pay $0.06 to consume 1kW per hour. When all the arcades are on they consume 320W (0.32kW) watts per hour. Multiple that by 24hrs =7.68kW (7,680W). That is 24x times the energy, but the rate of consumption is why the math isn't straight forward. Multiply that by the cost 7.68kWh* $0.06 kWH/hr = $0.46

@@RetroBuiltGames that’s true but I didn’t go light on any of the other hardware it kind of took on a life of its own at the end if it could be upgraded I did it, then upgraded the upgrade hell the joysticks alone was rebuilt from scratch from the best available options probably $500 in parts. Everything is top of the line far beyond arcade quality with about 50,000 games on it, housed between the worlds cheapest MDF board… I love the size,and functionality. but it makes me sad😢 it’s like a custom top of the line Ferrari engine in an ‘05 Astro van.
