EASY Super Console X ARCADE MACHINE!

[@Marlevlyn]

For the time being my temporary arcade set up is comprised of a stand up computer desk that has a top level and a lower level where the keyboard would normally sit. The top level house is my 34 inch flatscreen the lower level holds my Pandora 18S game box. And I am having the time of my life I would love to one day have a hanging arcade cabinet.

[@TechDweeb]

That's a solid setup!

[@Marlevlyn]

@@TechDweeb thank you are you on Facebook? I would love to send a picture to you so you can see it

[@timothywolfe7367]

I'd also be interested in seeing it as well.

[@JosephDunnigan-s3p]

Thanks for this great video. I had not considered using the Super Console X for my own build, but after seeing this video I have ut a try. Works great!

[@TechDweeb]

Niiiice!

[@waden9933]

I love your videos! Keep up the awesome work!

[@ionamygdalon2263]

Fantastic video! Well done Tech Dweeb 😎

[@williamblake2962]

You put out very good videos man. Keep it up.

[@Clos93]

Now that I built a rig with a 3060 in it, I plan on putting my old cheapo Dell Vostro with a t400 in it, in one of those AtGames arcade machines in the future. Or build one myself seeing how easy you were able to get yours setup. Street Fighter 5 and Tekken 7 will hit different playing standing up at a cab like back in the day.

[@andrestor-me]

nice, I'm not into arcade stuff but that cabinet is cool

[@TechDweeb]

Thanks Mr Frog!

[@emiliopetronio9095]

Awesome, love your videos, great work!

[@jokerr1391]

Hi there awesome video hope u can help please 🙏 I have installed and configured all of my buttons correctly on my arcade1up machine , but I can’t use the controllers to work on c64 games 😤 any ideas ? Tanks

[@JCORR76]

Awesome work, love it! 😍

[@fgmenth]

Yo! Sup Dweeeeeeeeeeeeeeb! Damn I really enjoyed this vid. I always thought having an arcade machine would be a bad idea because they're bulky, but having a slim machine mounted on the wall is an incredible idea! Kinda a no-brainer really. Seeing Burger Time on a big screen in orange/black is just 👌👌

[@TechDweeb]

Yeah the low-profile version is the only way it'd work in my place (Mom would never let me put a full cabinet that takes up so much room). Another good part is that you could actually take it down from the wall and put it on a table, use it as a bar-top unit.

[@fgmenth]

@@TechDweeb That's brilliant! Now I'm seriously considering building one.

[@alexandrypena14]

Love all your videos and I'm planning on building one of these myself!!! I was curious is it better to use the station pro you used and buy the parts or a Pandora box. I seen alot of Pandora boxes but which is better Pandora or the emulec

[@Marlevlyn]

You go through how to set up the buttons, but I wonder if you plug in an external arcade stick like a mayflash F101 if you can go in to program the buttons, just all the same

[@chrisgrossnickle1479]

Great video. Can you put this into an arcade 1up? I have a marvel vs capcom 2 but want to add this device for games and I want to switch monitor to 20 inch? And......I have never done anything like this before. Am I dreaming or can this become a reality before Christmas? Thanks

[@TechDweeb]

Apparently yes, but it'll take some work and require buying some components: arcademodup.com/how-to-upgrade-your-arcade1up-to-play-1000s-of-games/ As long as you can get the 1up inputs and screen converted to the USB controller board and HDMI for the screen you should be fine to use it with a SCX

[@chrislee5892]

hi thanks for helping me with my super console x you are great😊

[@nemoh21]

So with the usb hub did you just plug the hub into one of the usb ports directly into the super console then plug both joysticks into the hub then?

[@dudebuchanan]

How did you hook up the audio? I am going to install mine in a Mortal Kombat Arcade1Up. I plan on using the stock monitor with an HDMI converter so there won't be audio to the monitor.

[@TechDweeb]

My monitor had an audio jack that I used, but the Super console X pro does have a individual audio jack that you could use instead if needed.

[@dudebuchanan]

@TechDweeb Thank you for replying so fast! Ah, so the av port can be used for just audio? Now that I think about it, I don't see why not. It seems so obvious now. I tried an av cable once but didn't get a signal so I thought the av port might not be usable. I didn't follow up on it but now I will try it out. Again, thank you for replying. You are a hero!

[@EarthDragonPuke]

AWESOME!

[@theboriszaytsev]

Great vid!

[@ToiletPkay]

Would be awesome if you can link the items you need to buy to make this on description really want to make one of these its so cool

[@Marlevlyn]

I have a question. I really hope you can answer. I hope you see this. You have to turn off the. X pro from inside the software, so my question is without removing the console out of the arcade cabinet. How do you turn it on? Does it simply come on using the switch on the wall? I had the first version and I had to hit the power button on and off to turn it on.

[@jays2763]

Hi tech Tweeb.i have microswitch buttons that I have spare from arcade machine that I changed to LEDs.can I use those buttons on the usb board or do they have to be a usb button..thanks

[@youzernejm]

Have you considered testing some of those used oem mini pcs? I recently got HP Prodesk 800 mini (or micro or tiny or whatever they call them) for a client and, well, it's locked to 18W, so I'd recommend maybe not getting an HP, but a miniature Dell or Lenovo can be had for peanuts - and still be way more powerful than Super console x pro, or rpi4, or even Super console x King (heck, it would probably crush nVidia shield)

[@TechDweeb]

I do have a mini Optiplex PC. That's the one I used in my Retrobat setup video. I couldn't install Batocera on it though, unfortunately, I couldn't get it to boot with anything other than the stock Win10 that came on it :/

[@youzernejm]

@@TechDweeb Lenovo laptops usually have a tiny pinhole button you have to press in order to enter bios, maybe it's something stupid like that? I've confused your Dell as being the middle sized one, that can fit an actual LP GPU, my bad.

[@ToiletPkay]

Does the arcade button wiring main system come with the buttons? You inspired me to try make one of these some day

[@TechDweeb]

Yes that's right, it comes as a kit. Comes with the USB cord, the pcb, the buttons, and all the button wires. Basically everything you need hardware-wise other than the console itself.

[@Curryking32000]

great video but how did you connect the power switch to power it on?

[@TechDweeb]

It's just a power bar inside the cabinet, plugged into a wireless outlet at the bottom. Search "wireless outlet switch" on amazon and you'll find lots of options.

[@Curryking32000]

@@TechDweeb thank you, you are a star.

[@f1fthm00n]

Hey man, is it possible to use the retroid pocket 3 plus as the base console for the arcade?

[@TechDweeb]

Yes you can! I did test it. There is a little bit more latency with this thing, over the micro HDMI, but it's not a deal breaker. You can use it and it works fine. I might make a video about it.

[@f1fthm00n]

@@TechDweeb that would be awesome! Another video for the upcoming Retroid Pocket 3+, perhaps? Would be looking forward to it. Thanks!

[@liambowers9489]

Sounds overkill but an Oled display would slap for an arcade cabinet

[@timothywolfe7367]

Hey Tech Dweeb. How you doing? I have question. What kind of speakers did you use? I'm really interested in addjng this exact project to my near future to-do list.

[@TechDweeb]

They were just cheap amazon usb powered speakers. This is the closest I can find that's available right now: amzn.to/4fVFKu3

[@gregorgman]

I tried to configure my arcade dual joystick setup following your instructions but the software is so much newer than this video that it doesnt pertain. I struck out, still have no way of using my arcade unless I only use the handheld unit that came with the X5... no good. Thanks for the great video but it doesnt work with this latest software from Kinhank.

[@stephenblidgeon9551]

Hi there, did u have any joy with your dual joystick on your x5 system,?I have a kinhank x2 pro system and want to configure my tank stick, so I can play my fav game robotron with real joysticks.

[@gregorgman]

@@stephenblidgeon9551 Stephen, I had zero success and gave up. Now I cant even get the hand controller to work and Kinhank hasnt been able to help me. Not sure what to do, brand new system and cant get the GameSir handheld that came with the X5 to pair with the system.

Does the console save games/Keep high Scores?

Yes and yes!

I’m having an issue with down back not registering and on the second controller down forward doesn’t register as block

[@TechDweeb]

Is that on the controllers that come with it? It sounds like a problem with the controllers, if you had a different controller you could try that would help you figure out if it's an issue with your controllers or the device/settings.

[@stephenblidgeon9551]

Has anyone used a tankstick with the Super Console x2 pro? Having issues configuring keys and buttons so as like the 360 controllers.

[@denodan]

Console X is crap, better off using a mini pc. Great idea though, but I would go with a mini pc, as the super console is well under powdered for stuff like N64, PSP and only ok up to ps1 a good looking system though

[@TechDweeb]

Yeah for sure. If I planned on playing anything 3d on this I'd definitely go for a mini PC. I was actually intending to go that route but I decided on the SCX for this cabinet because I don't intend on playing anything 3d, and the setup was so dang easy, basically plug and play.

[@timothywolfe7367]

The SCX also helps to keep the cost down. I'm definitely going to do this project soon. I've always wanted my own arcade cabinet.
