Game Room Solutions "BEAST" Arcade Cabinet - Sneak Peek - Part 1

[@RetroRalph]

I'm laughing watching this back because in the intro I said "sneak Peek" like a million times... LOL!! I hope you guys enjoy this video, Part 2 (The Build) and Part 3 (Game play) coming soon!

[@dragongamer2670]

Great Video Ralph!

[@untraumatized]

That’s a pretty sweet cab but it’s ON SALE for $900 with no controls or monitor... That’s insane lol 🤣

[@itzvon]

The “Beast” is right! Nice! Can’t wait to see part 2 &3!!

[@PixelGameSquad]

You're the man!

[@josmazgon]

I'm impressed by this beauty, but not surprised! Having seen your previous work, we knew what you were capable of. Congrats mate, but, 8 tb, you'll need a thousands lives to play it all! Eager to see your next 2 videos!

[@philipnapier3382]

Looks awesome !!! Cant wait to see more

[@retsopmiful]

How big is the cabinet? I can't find any dimensions at all.

[@TheRealRustyGrill]

Impressive! The end all solution

[@badkarrmaretrogaming2738]

When are you going to put up a video on how it was built? Looking forward to that

[@ArcadeOne]

That looks amazing! Excellent job with the build.

[@RetroRalph]

Thanks man! I appreciate you being around to answer questions along the way. I know I was being stubborn but I really wanted to say that I did the iPac myself... haha. It’s a lot easier than it used to be but still makes my brain 🧠 hurt at times. 🤣

[@stevetb7777]

That's an epic build right there! I love your graphics choices RR!! I'm more of a purist myself, I need my arcade cab to have a multi-mode CRT arcade monitor to get as close as possible to the real thing.. BUT now I need one of these BEASTS in my game room too, to have a cab that plays modern games at full res. =D

[@crazytone27]

This took the cake.. Jesus what a system.. I’m speechless.. it’s amazing 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@RetroRalph]

crazytone27 Thanks man! The build and gameplay video will be pretty awesome so stay tuned man! Thanks again for all your support.

[@crazytone27]

Can’t wait.. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@ReubensLair]

Sick!! Bravo. Love the art

[@dalereed9509]

I am looking forward to part 2 and 3. I have just got into the Retro Gaming Scene. I actually started with the 32" Full Upright Kit and completed a couple months ago. Then made a template and built another 32" and 40" full Upright and just finished the Bar Top Deluxe and stand. GRS has the best graphics.

[@ForeverLacey09]

That is a really nice looking cabinet! I am currently looking at these type of systems to round out my own arcade room.

[@JeffYPbPr]

Carlos at arcade one is awesome. He supports his product regularly w updates and new systems. I have the 2 tb build. Awesome stuff

[@oldboat7506]

Does Carlos' systems come preloaded?

[@JeffYPbPr]

@@oldboat7506 yes

[@MrPippet1]

Are parts 2 and 3 out yet?

[@tres6198]

Great job do you happen to have the images used on the side art as a jpeg?

[@ayatollahofroknrollah5589]

Great video! A true Beast. Would it be possible to get a list of all the parts? Would love to build my own.

[@2Dai4]

Very nice 👍... love hyperspin 👍👌😎👊

[@salttrader4113]

@retro Ralf hey man, nice build. I was wondering, did you set up your games on the Beast with crt emulation? For me, that's when everything connected, consoles and arcade games looked extremely close to crt, HLSS for mame and crt royal for retroarch console emulation.

[@johnnygalvan845]

Where did you get the printed graphics for the whole arcade? - Looks great!

[@tyroneweb]

How did you configure the control panel to hyperspin? Will you talk about that in a future video?

[@AkebonoRadio]

Bought the bartop deluxe from GRS. Ryan was very helpful and the build quality is very good.

[@anthonynunez3523]

Wish you could have showed the build process. Im finding it very difficult to decide between this and recroommasters cabinet, on 1 hand I prefer the look and options that grs offers but I appreciate the simplicity of setup of the recroommasters.

[@MrPippet1]

Do the games themselves come on the arcade one hyperspin builds?

[@obsidian1710]

That does look pretty sweet! The control spacing looks good for each player, and I like the " MK3 run button" for player 1&2, that some other 4 player setups ignore. I just think it could benefit from a bigger screen since it's a 4 player cabinet. Looks like the side players would feel a little awkward from that viewing angle. I think it kinda calls for a 42" screen to accommodate for the 2 extra players.

[@05SVRACER]

Hey Ralph, going to be picking up the Grs 4 player pedestal and a 8tb system from Carlos next month. How was it setting up the Grs controls with hyperspin?

[@stephanemoquin3888]

hello who did the side artwork?

[@pricejl2820]

Just ordered mine.. Did it come pro loaded with games?

[@BBQedGamer]

Is this running on a 1080P monitor? How would a 4k look?

[@billywright6107]

Dang Ralph... wow.. nothing more to say.. just dang...

[@arcaderacer586]

I am still mapping buttons from my hyperspin mame cab from 10 yrs ago. LOL. I suggest to call “Carlos”. Ralph is right! Does any OG homies still have their Slick Stick control panel?

[@RetroRalph]

The iPac4 with the winpac software makes It fairly easy. It still hurts my brain though. 🤣🤣🤣

[@arcaderacer586]

Retro Ralph I may suggest once you get it setup and finished,you clone the HD so you can have a backup to pop Back in if your hd fails. I had It happpen to me. Had to do all that work over a 2nd time. I clone all my hd’s now for projects that require lots Of software man hours.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Wow, I think this is the most wicked cabinet you can find. 4 player incl. Sanway Parts, Widescreen HD LCD... Hyperspin PC Machine for running the thing. Can't get more Wicked than this..... ? Only you moved 5 arcade1up cabs for this to make room :(

[@TheRealRustyGrill]

Wicked Gamer & Collector the truth!

[@RetroRalph]

Wicked Gamer & Collector I learned to be wicked from you my friend. Learned from the best 😉😈

[@DIMEDAMAGE]

dude this is amazing.you need to be my nextdoor nieghbor

[@JTSuter]

What are the dimensions for this? I can't find any specs sheets for it.

[@leeshobbyheaven3307]

Hey ralph. Can you put new games on the pc hyperspin where they get release. Ie buy the cd and put it on the system or is whats on here what u get and no more

[@RetroRalph]

Lee & my Games room You can absolutely add games to the system 👍🏻

[@zanshikaijin2709]

I notice that they offer more spots for player buttons. But you only have the minimum. What is your opinion on going for the maximum number of slots for buttons? I was looking at RRM, but this is a pretty nice cab too. I want four player and all the bells and whistles I can manage. GRS is more work but shouldn't be overwhelming.

[@BFKAnthony817]

8TB's! Holy shit that sounds awesome! Bro that is like the ultimate dream build arcade system! The one with the BTTF Delorean rocks on their site!

[@RetroRalph]

BFKAnthony817 Thanks man! Yeah I love all things BTTF so I hear you.

[@Superdimensional]

one cabinet to rule them all. my jaw is on the floor bro. #WANT

[@MountainJack28]

Did you ever make the build video? I have the 43 inch version of this case and looking at different videos to put mine together. The support from game room is not that great.

[@darktetsuya]

wow that thing looks insane!! Personally I might stick to strictly arcade stuff (although PC Raiden 3/4/5 might be pretty sick on that, not gonna lie) but seems like an insanely cool unit!

[@w.samuelf.8940]

Good video friend; A query to the pandora box 6 family version can you add 3player and 4player? I am looking forward to your response.👍

[@gregc7770]

Totally awesome build. The best I've seen to date. Just wondering though is it a full arcade size cabinet?

[@sgawnmiller3958]

When you buy yhe hard drive is hypermarquee setup as well????

[@RetroRalph]

Sgawn Miller It’s an entire PC build, not just a hard drive. It does NOT have hypermarquee installed. I don’t think Arcade-One has included HyperMarquee in their builds quite yet.

[@Lasjah]

Can you do a video on the Arcade One PC that you're running? Setup with TV and Controls, Pros/Cons, How much do you need a keyboard/external controller, Updating it, etc. I'm planning on building a 2-player Gameroom Solutions machine in the near future and I am seriously considering buying a PC from them. Thanks Ralph!

[@jasonbryce2935]

Are the player 3 and 4 joysticks angled? Do you find it hard to play in that orientation?

[@ScarletSprites]

That CP wiring looks like a mother. Cool cabinet though, one of these days I may have to checkout Hyperspin.

[@RetroRalph]

LOL... Yeah it was pretty time-consuming. I did it over like a few days just to take breaks. I had to splice so many wires that I needed to walk away from it from time to time. It was a really fun project though. Now I need to edit the mother of all videos (the build). I have so much respect for ETA Prime for having the patience to do long and detailed instructional videos. Anyway... Thanks for watching and supporting the channel bud, I really appreciate it.

[@ScarletSprites]

I was thinking the same regarding John’s Arcade today. If I tried to film, talk, AND work on a machine I’d never get anything done. It’s interesting the things you might otherwise not pay much attention to until you’re in a similar position and can appreciate the effort. You do a clean and stellar job presenting well edited videos, I really like what you have going on here.

[@2Dai4]

Wow 😮!!! Great job man!!! I love it 😍👍😎👌👊

[@RetroRalph]

Thanks bud, I filmed the whole build process so that’s the next video. That one is going to take a looooooong time to edit. Thanks for your continued support man! How you loving your 2-Player? I bet it’s hard to go back to your 1up’s. No disrespect to 1up (I love their products) but it’s a whole other experience IMO.

[@2Dai4]

Retro Ralph yup you right but I still like 1up just that retro feeling but I’m more into full sizes cab!!! I’m also thinking about getting another full sizes cab from Mc and do a custom 4 players cp... will be very similar to yours... that will be my next big project 👍😎👌👊

[@raybladex]

Hey Ralph, a step up from happ competition sticks would be their Happ Ultimates, and IL Eurostick (best,imo).

[@dwarfer2309]

Wow this even has gamecube games I love super mariosunshine for that system I wonder what it cost you to build this?

[@casbomme4321]

WoW!

[@ashleylove4406]

Bro....part 2 and 3 ....I need them. dying...

[@RetroRalph]

I'm sorry for the delay on this. There's so much to cover right now that I have had a hard time getting it out. I will try my best to get it out over the next week or so. Thanks for your interest in the project :-)

[@chicagoanonymous2406]

It looks BadAss!!!!! How much does that Arcade go's for!!!!! 👍😲

What are dimensions brotha

[@PonoPride]

Still waiting for part 2 and 3!!!!

[@RetroRalph]

It’s coming , I promise 👍🏻

[@untraumatized]

Pretty cool but why is the spinner so high? I can’t imagine trying to actually play a game on it

[@RetroRalph]

untraumatized It plays really well and the height of it on the control panel is not uncomfortable at all. 👍🏻

[@untraumatized]

Retro Ralph sweet thanks for the reply, keep up the good work!

[@miltoncuevas5933]

Wow that image is beautiful ~ cant wait for part 2 and 3 video. 32" wow thats gotta be massive

[@pdxmetal]

Gotta love how these guys will send a 4 player cabinet with art to the popular KZbin channels but won't take a single dollar off for their repeat customers who want a modest discount from time to time.

[@ArcadeSchool]

Cool build. For me personally, only arcade games are meant to be played on an arcade cabinet, and those are all I care about. I'd rather play console games with a controller (even via emulation on PC). Also I don't think I'll ever get used to the new trend of putting 16:9 monitors in these cabinets. It just doesn't look right. Awesome job though, and this thing truly is amazing either way!

[@smg4reblooperd182]

Will You every Do a 1up arcade cabinet for those mini Classic Consoles or plug and play Systems? Personally I'd love to see one for the snes classic and the SpongeBob Plug and play

[@gettin_lit6594]

This just might have to be an early christmas present .

[@krikon575]

I see Gameroom Solutions used my frontplate graphics I designed for my unit, I dont mind, it's rather flattering :D

[@foxhound34]

I love the look of Hyperspin, but it is not user friendly at all with issues that should have been fixed long ago still present. I switched to BigBox mode of Launchbox using a Hyperspin mimicked UI.

[@mkuhlman77]

The cabinet is sick. Yeah I would probably never touch a tenth of the game's on it. I had a chance to grab a pair of Daytona usa cabinets and didn't jump on it for $250. I kick myself everyday for not pulling that trigger. Racing is my heroin so having that would of been sweet.

[@RetroRalph]

Matt Kuhlman Dude, that was a total steal, well... maybe it will come along again, keep your eye open. I passed on an almost pristine Terminator 2 arcade for 500 a few years back; I kick myself to this day. Thanks for watching man!

[@toohighstrung]

I can only imagine how sneak much this is going to cost me peak

[@RetroRalph]

Ralph The cost is not for the faint of heart. You can curb the cost considerably by doing a RetroPi build.

Looks cool but I still can't understand how anybody is ok with such a wide aspect ratio. A 4:3 display is what is needed.

It plays modern games. That right there should make you understand bro.

[@1teamski]

@@ProWrestlingGamer Yeah, but I am seeing guys play older games that look silly in wide screen.....

[@ProWrestlingGamer]

@@1teamski They don't all look silly. 4 player games look great and some really benefit from the wide screen. I think modern games would look silly with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Having a wide screen gives you the flexibility to change aspect ratios in settings to match older games if that's your thing. While being able to play modern games with their native ratios

[@1teamski]

A couple of years ago game room solutions sold me some bootleg happ competition joysticks. When I called them out on it, they wanted me to pay for return shipping. Hopefully they have changed their customer support handling because as of now I will Never do business with them again.

[@RetroRalph]

California_Gaming I provided the HAPP sticks, they were not provided by Game Room Solutions. That unfortunate what happened with your build. I haven’t ever had any issues with GRS myself but I’m sorry to hear that you did. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.

[@joeyjojojunior4886]

The Hyperspin and controls look great but GRS use cheap pressed wood and melamine which easily chips off and the cam locks started to pop out within a year. I would never buy another product from them.
