[@raymondjdennisjrakafuzzysi1523]

This is my Stick! Can’t wait to get it! It’s on it’s way! Daniel is awesome to work with and very professional! Can not recommend him enough! Thanks Daniel!

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Thank you so much! 🙏🏼

[@iamrjdennis]

Thanks for making this for my Dad, Daniel! He really loves it! You rock!

[@hopwon]

It's a work of art!

[@eventhorizon2873]

I am very happy for you and your dad Raymond. what an awesome build by daniel😊

[@stormstillman3471]

A few years ago I had to watch your videos on how to install things from ultimarc. Been hooked ever sence. Fonaminal build!

[@ejtaylor73]

Looks great!!! I'm sure those new tools will make things much easier, and will become even more useful as you figure out more things you can do with them.

[@ozarkliving7263]

Simply gorgeous!

[@alexrobles7744]

I was just thinking when your next video would come out. Quality build. I need to replace my tankstick with a custom-made control panel and your builds always gives me the best inspiration. thank you.

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Thanks Alex!!

[@theblowupdollsmusic]

This build is insanely good! Thank you for sharing your process.

[@eventhorizon2873]

I am a proud seller of Festool products, realy educational vid about my two main interests, arcade machines and tools. everything about your vids are perfect.

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

I share your passion 💪🏼😍. Thanks, D

[@chrisseear]

Amazing quality finish, still can't wait for you to start the pinball machine, thanks for the content.

[@joshuawalters7714]

I have to say you are the coolest arcade builder I have ever seen man and I love your work! I hope to be able to try and build something like your 4 player cab some time or any thing you make really. I love the detail and passion you put into everything you make

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Thanks Joshua!!

[@joshuawalters7714]

Hey you welcome brother. You gotta give credit to people that put in a lot of hard work to make something absolutely amazing! I hope to pick you brain on things some day. I’m going to start off slow with some bar top cabs then work up to a 2 player coffee table cab. Great inspiration my friend.

[@RHRetro]

Absolute work of art! Amazing work once again Daniel! Also, have never seen or heard of that joystick before but wow it is beautiful. Very unique top on it too. Almost like a mix of ball top and bat top!

[@nakimmikan]

This guy is a true artist Picasso of the arcade world!!

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Haha that is not true but very nice of you 🙏🏼💪🏼

[@skv23]

Love it!!! Amazing!!!

[@tilburger1986]

Weer een next level build! Great job👌

[@Martinitodeviena]

Great as always, Daniel, thank you for the video. Probably your new workspace made your new Valentines Day haircut possible ? perfect cut as well….😂 😂😂

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Haha, curly hair in 2023 - you will need to live with that 😂

[@gharel396]

Small correction, but for best results, you should be trying to lay out the shaper tape flat. For longer strips you can replace those with a few shorter ones to maintain the straightness!

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Good point, thanks!

[@taekwonrooij]

Awesome work mate! I remember we talked about creating a virtuall pinball machine. Very cool you are now going to do it! (Jeroen)

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Je komt hem maar testen hier als hij klaar is 🙌🏻

[@Piglet6256]

Like always I really enjoyed the content! Great tools and an awesome Multi Purpose Controller. Although I didn't understand how you will be able to play with the unusual button layout on this stick? But as always a great end product which is awesome in every way. Groetjes!

[@salttrader4113]

Good stuff, I love it!

[@Seany-boy]

Didnt recognise you with the new hair style....looking good bro !

[@skiboy21488]

Check out the "gator lift" for carrying those large MDF panels, so much easier to carry with one.

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Will check it out, thanks!

[@Patrickdulkenraad]

The king of arcade 🎮

[@mrs5850]

Love your videos. Could you do a “beginners guide to Ipac” ? I built a cabinet loosely based on your button layout, but really struggling with my ipac2

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

I do have an Ultimate IO board video and in one of my contropanel video's I explain in detail howto use the WinIpac software. Let me know if you get stuck somewhere, Thanks, Daniel

[@paulonatali5614]

Congrats !

[@joshuawalters7714]

What do you think is the most comfortable button layout to play on?

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

In my opinion, you get used to any layout pretty quickly. As a general tip, I like the buttons to be pretty close together. It relaxes your finger muscles.

[@joshuawalters7714]

Have you ever considered making a 2 player coffee table cabinet ?

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Good idea indeed!

[@fredericpoli4061]

Hi Daniel, can you put the cervo motors for these sémitismes sticks ( for the 4 or 8 wars)?

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

No, you will need the Ultimarc sticks for that 👍🏼

[@GCT-bh8lk]

Does anyone know if you could have two fight sticks (not connected to one another, execpt for a usb connection to a pc) as player one and another one for player two? Thanks for your help and insight!

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Sure! Just map them in WinIpac 👍🏼

[@JJiG]

Wonder how much one of these costs to make. this stick is awesome

[@arthurnippalexandernikogra710]

Hey Group I may have bitten off more than I can chew so at this point I’m just trying to save face. For the first time I built an arcade pedestal thanks to Daniel Spies. The pedestal is all wired up, the encoder boards are set with the x arcade button layout. I have a mini PC and the Hyperspin Hard Drive. I followed the instructions within the HDD but I can’t get Hyperspin to work properly with the pedestal, I think the only control I have is up and down in player one. Have anyone used this particular set up? Should swap this set up for a raspberry pi or something that requires less skill?

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Best solution would be to send me an email and I will try to guide you 😂thedanielspies at gmail.com Thanks, D

[@js0000355]

Looks awesome. One question, why do you say laser engraving in combination with the shaper? The Shaper is a router right? Not a laser. Please explain. Thanks in advance. Nice clip almost forgot, one more question, is this black MDF? I think it is so shiny (schittert)

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

You are right. Engraving with a CNC machine is not laser-engraving. It is just engraving :-) Sorry for the confusion. Yes that is black MDF but not shiny. It has a satin finish.

[@asadrian3]

What tips or tricks did you come up with for powering and providing inputs off a single USB?

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

It was very easy. I made a very short USB to DC FEMALE cable that I plugged into the USB hub. This way the Ipac can draw just enough current to power the LEDS.

[@asadrian3]

@TheDanielSpies Thanks. I seem to have trouble with the trackball and power running off on USB Hub. The trackball is not recognized when I try to add the control in MAME.

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

@@asadrian3 did you wire the trackball correctly? It draws almost no power I remember 🤔

[@nielsweel5427]

Hoi Daniël, Vraagje welke emulator gebruik je om je buttons aan te sluiten etc. Ben je videos aan het kijken erg gaaf. Will zelf kijken wat ik exact will, maar heb nog geen duidelijk beeld van wat het beste is een hoe je het bij elkaar brengt. In ieder geval gaaf om te zien wat je allemaal maakt.

[@emieljansen4202]

Ziet er weer super uit! Mag ik vragen waar je in het verleden de mdf en plexiglas controlpanel liet zagen, snijden, graveren? Ik zie wel snijlab maar die doen geen mdf met 18 mm dikte. Het mooiste is toch bij hetzelfde bedrijf ivm exacte maatvoering van het hout en plexiglas?

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Snijlab voor het laser-werk, Houtzaagwinkel (Den Haag) voor het CNC werk 👍🏼

[@emieljansen4202]

Bedankt voor je snelle reactie! Superleuk dat je naast het harde werk ook tijd maakt om je kennis te delen!

[@kaprealmotley]

How do I order an arcade system

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

By emailing me on thedanielspies at gmail.com 😊

[@ipercade8495]

What is the stream deck for?

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Shortcuts for games or settings. 😃

[@TimothyTimPSP]

I gotta say with all that build up the demo was a fail. You used a laptop? You could have used a larger screen. Why did you get lazy at the end?

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

' Lazy' , that is an interesting way of commenting on a video. I hereby appologize for stealing your time. Lucky for you that there will be a h u g e screen in the upocoming video ;-)

[@TimothyTimPSP]

@@TheDanielSpies_Arcades I can see that word upset you. Okay... why did you cut corners.

[@ozarkliving7263]

Why not use Lexan or Maklaron?

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Do you have experience with that? I would love to know more 👍🏼 thanks D

[@ozarkliving7263]

Makrolon AR is what my ATV windshield was made out of. Race car windows also use Lexan or Makrolon. Doesn’t yellow with time and exposure to light like plain plexiglass. Extremely abrasion resistant.
