How I Built My Dream Arcade! Custom Sega Blast City

[@griftgfx]

One of the best custom bar tops I've ever seen. Beautiful work.

[@AppleWaveGamer]

Thank you so much for your comment 🥰

[@ShwartsFN]

Lmao he has a WHOLE shop to work with, it BETTER look good

[@anonymousprofessor8866]

@@AppleWaveGamer I had to subscribe to amazing project creators like your channel. How da heck did you get the marquees for the games to show on the TV screen like that? I never knew that was even possible plus the CRT retro filter makes the game play look authentic. Is there a Build for noobs that can remotely get me close to this on ArcadePunks?

[@toddkovalsky]

this is sick, clearly you know what you’re doing how would you make this simple for a non woodworking expert 🙌🙌

[@marioluna2110]

​@@AppleWaveGamerDisculpe Qué tipo de pintura en aerosol está usando❤❤what spray paint are you using❤❤

[@SirSicCrusader]

I wish I had the time, patience, skill, motivation, ability to... you know what, good job!

[@corinful]

That is amazing well done.....You should consider making these for sale I'd 100% buy one

[@sinetwo]

Same!

[@nicolasc7063]

The most amazing custom arcade cabinet in KZbin congrats dude...

[@AppleWaveGamer]

Thank you 🙏

[@Tom-vt5bf]

Congrats that's one of the best builds I have seen and I have seen a lot of them!

[@AppleWaveGamer]

Thank you 🙏

[@chadshaffer4838]

Wow! One of the best custom arcade build videos I've seen. Strangely, I really liked the drill sounds!

[@jasp2003]

I have a dream to build a cabinet exactly like this. Im still researching and building my practical skills. This video is inspiring! Thanks!

[@deadave6127]

Currently dreaming of making something as sweet looking as your cab. Nice job. Wow

[@valentine_puppy]

As a major Sega fan. I approve and love this.

[@ricardocancino7280]

Gorgeous. Really appreciate the woodwork.

[@IMNME45]

I would love to see a horizontal one, with fighting games, this is one of the best repro's I've seen of a classic arcade. Good job!

[@Undar8ed03]

Now I like this! I would love to have a custom full size sit down cab that could hold a 27" crt since finding one here in my part of the US is extremely hard and expensive. Good job brother. Looks amazing.

[@AppleWaveGamer]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@joshb.9380]

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing.

[@UTO0O0B]

Absolutely fantastic build! Love it. One of my fave cabs too.

[@travis3501]

Exactly what I want. If only someone made a cabinet like this, with style rather than the cheap looking ones available. Id but it!

[@BDThug]

This looks amazing!

[@SanAlexVan]

you really make my dreams come true, all the work , step by step, it´s a dream.

[@ledoudinou]

The perfect bartop for shmups 👌🏻

[@GamingwithTai]

I know this video was made a year ago. Just wanted to say that this looks lovely. Tip around the 2X white gloss tho. It's a thicker paint. do it in light coats. It will make the overall product look less clumpy.

[@Marco-hn3cw]

Superbe travail 👍👍👍 ça c'est de l'arcade!

[@A_Z_0-9_010]

Very nice detailed cab. Excellent craftsmanship

[@Alpha17x]

It's always awesome to see someone get or build their dream cabinet. Awesome. I hope you're still having a blast with it (pun intended).

[@AppleWaveGamer]

It’s in my living room now, Friends and family enjoy it every day! 😁

[@fabiancarta]

I’ve been looking for other video’s like this. There are just no candy cab builds I can find which resemble yours. I love it and it inspires me to build my own. And this is like the sixth time I’ve watched this, haha.

[@AppleWaveGamer]

@@fabiancarta Thank you! I created my project for similar reasons, driven by a vision I couldn't find elsewhere. Although I made mine at work using only my own basic tools, I still take pride in it. Now that I work at a carpenter shop, I'm considering building something even better. While I don't have blueprints, I wish you the best of luck on your journey. You can do it! 🍎

[@ramonhawkins9932]

Wow..What a dream build!!Amazing! Great job!😮

[@AppleWaveGamer]

Thank you 🙏

[@deepdrasticvid]

Congratulations on the vertical screen and games, nice clean workmanship I also have a vertical screen cabin project, the system is ready, just cut a few old boards and start the cabin construction, it is still in the design drawing stage.

[@alexj0101]

Absolutely incredible bar top. Great design and attention to detail.

[@Alfontu]

I normally don't like LCD cabinets, but this is a masterpiece. Congratulations!

[@AppleWaveGamer]

Thank you 🙏

[@luftydrums]

Wow, awesome build! Really impressive

[@ccfgameplay]

what a wonderful project! the most beautiful one I've ever seen here on youtube!

[@AppleWaveGamer]

Thank you 🙏

[@memphis9286]

It's exactly what I dream of! Master! well done!!!!!!!!

[@daviddunnaway8665]

Clean job. IMPRESSIVE

[@deadave6127]

Nice work. Talk about a labor of love. I get nervous modding fighting sticks. 😂

[@djb1ge]

AWESOME work! MAN, I wish I had woodworking skills & tools. lol

[@RetroRick1990]

Hello my friend, I was researching this project for a very long time, it is exactly what I want! please let me know if the blueprints will be available. I subscribed just watching the first 2 minutes! Thank you very much for this! I will share your video with more people!

[@AndreaBaldon]

great work! a perfect TATE cabinet!

[@seekerofarcades4634]

😗really nice work!!!very creative👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Ryan-P2121]

Very nice work you should be proud of it.

[@juan666restauracionmexical5]

pa good build

[@SpazzyJester]

This is incredibly well done 🤯 I'm actually happy I subscribed to your channel 😁 I wanna make on full of classic arcade fighting games for my brother 😎 so this has given me some ideas 💡 this is seriously an underappreciated video loved every second of it 👌🥰👍

[@chnsx7]

omg such beauitful work! i hope to have a blast city candy cab one day. nope, i won't make one :)

[@imm311]

Great work! God bless you and yours. Praying for you.

[@AppleWaveGamer]

Thank you for the prayers ❤️

[@soulmate2027]

Absolutely crazy build 🔥💪

[@ArcadeCabNBud]

Very impressive indeed

[@bladeblade2435]

It's a fantastic job and you showed you have some skill only thing I can say is a little more time needed on the wood on closeups you can still see the round holes of screws and some imperfections in wood which could of been smoothed out otherwise that's a real piece of kit there👍

[@andril]

amazing build and great video showing it all i wish i had skills like this

[@data80s88]

Veo scanlines verticales pero en Deathsmile no logro apreciar las líneas. Son horizontales o verticales? Scanlines son de mame o slg3000? A propósito es un hermoso trabajo quizás la mejor bartop que he visto.

[@silverandblackentertainment]

One of the best builds I’ve seen on here 👍🏽

[@MikeDancy]

dude! that is one sweet setup

[@retror.d.1630]

Wow! I want one of those! 😱

[@MotownBatman]

New Sub! Dryden, MI Excellent Job! This is Beautiful

[@pollorodriguez1920]

Man that's an amazing work. Very clean and profesional. Looks awesome.

[@MikeHayesDesign]

This is my dream cab. I was just in Tokyo, playing a SF2 candy cab at Super Potato!

[@AppleWaveGamer]

😮Lucky you!!

[@MikeHayesDesign]

@@AppleWaveGamer honestly, if you're gonna go. Go soon. Japan isn't big on nostalgia. They have decimated most of the old school arcades in Akihabara.

[@jonniefast]

excellent woodworking 😌

[@victoryarcades8653]

Awesome build 👏

[@AppleWaveGamer]

I agree. Lol. Thanks

[@patrickblank1665]

Very cool!

[@cybermat800]

If i should use one word i'd say "Astonished". One of the best diy video ever seen. Regarding 4-8 way, i own Jlw with servo and i don't think that is suited for shoot'em up due to its medium travel.

[@BillBene67]

Really beautiful work! I'm loving this

[@alexkidd_miracleworld]

Excellent !

[@retrojoe2842]

Super Nice!!!!

[@johnboydojo]

That's beautiful! Gained a sub easily!

[@AppleWaveGamer]

Many thanks!!

[@thelabfurnishings6171]

Very Very nice work my friend.

[@AppleWaveGamer]

Thank you 🙏

[@DarthSamuraiRyuu]

i want one! astro city style! 😍

[@JohnEricBooth]

Excellent work! I've built 2 cabs myself so it was great to learn a few things from YOU! Where did you acquire that joystick??? One of my cabs showcases vertical games and since most of them are 8-way stick games, I couldn't include games such as Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.

[@AppleWaveGamer]

Thank you. Got joystick here…. www.ultimarc.com

[@DecibelAlex]

looks good, very inspiring. well done

[@samfreeman7892]

This is so good

[@BackForwardPunch]

Very impressive!

[@kevin__o]

Beyond cool

[@RetroGameRarities]

This is absolutely gorgeous. Keep up the great work!

[@socalmob760]

I love the design. I have a question? Do you think it would work for Games like Street Fighter II or any other games that are not vertical orientated? I want something like thin like this beauty.

[@AppleWaveGamer]

Yes I have games like street fighter on this. Thank you 🙏

[@VegasD702]

How did you get the screen to display sideways like that ?

[@jbartmontage6737]

great stuff

[@AppleWaveGamer]

Thanks

[@-Astro--]

wow amazing work 👍

[@jean-patrickleger2215]

Super cool build, congrats. I love the 4/8 ways selector. May I ask which launcher you use for the game selection ? Thanks !

[@AppleWaveGamer]

Thanks. For the launcher I am using a custom build. Just Google, Diamond 3 Arcade Vertical Edition

[@jjnavacool]

That is beatiful!

[@rogerf4430]

Hi did you cut the wood / plan on the fly or do you have some measurements for me etc I don’t mind paying for some plans cheers from the uk

[@Kla2024-s5t]

Da da da da …I’m lovin it

[@ricardotavarez5718]

Buenisimo el gabinete!

[@pendy96]

It's been a long time since this video came up, but I was wondering if you have managed to make any plans for this? Would absolutely love to build one similiar, but Im not too shabby with figuring shapes and sizes by myself 😅 Absolutely amazing work! ❤❤❤

[@PiperisCalling]

looks great man.

[@stratmask5]

Glorious

[@thumbwarriordx]

Personally I'd have mounted the Marquee lights on the bottom and curved a piece of white vinyl around to reflect them more evenly. But then again putting that much thought into marquee lighting would only hurt its authenticity. They always just shoved a bulb or a tube in and called it a day lol

[@nerdloftgaming]

Stunning work, love it! Subbing 👍

[@vincentnunna510]

Wtf! Amazing work!

[@prawnstar502]

so damn cool!!!

[@silversausage382]

That came out so clean!!! Very Nice job!! Shit now i want to build one haha! 💯🔥🔥🔥

[@VAMPIREMACHIINE]

Awesome job!! 🤟

[@pandafresh]

incredible work! i wish buying a candy cab wasn't so expensive, this looks a pretty neat alternative. i dont think i quite have your carpentry skills though lol

[@overdriver99]

damn! you got the skill & money. I envy you..

[@AppleWaveGamer]

Thanks. But I’m kind of broke dude lol. Cheap when you make it yourself.

[@AngelRetro]

🔥🔥🔥 I like it !!!!!!

[@Hashman10001]

So did you make your own software image? Or what image did you use. Looks really nice.

[@AppleWaveGamer]

No. I downloaded a pre-made image and customized it to my liking.

[@dustindeckard]

Amazing video, thank you for sharing! I did 1 player custom build this year with a Pi 4 and have had so many issues getting the front-end to work correctly in vertical mode. Can you share what software package you used here? I've had no luck with Batocera but haven't branched out to other builds. The resolution and aspect ratios all look great with the borders here.

[@kdavethomas]

Batocera works try going into SYSTEM SETTINGS → SCREEN ROTATION and setting it to “270 DEGREES”. ..I was doing this for the longest while but NeoGeo games like Samurai Shodown have certain screen flashing effects that don't look good vertically since they were designed for a horizontal screen...that being said playing cave games is awesome in vertical mode

[@Arth7272]

Amazing! Can I ask, what's the size of the TV? Thanks!

[@AppleWaveGamer]

Tv size is 32” :)

[@miraclechild_502]

This looks so amazing great work my friend grade A quality work what frontend or theme was you using I like that vertical style theme with marquee during gameplay

[@KING_KONK]

Brooo this is amazing you did such a good job. What did you use to round the edges of the plywood
