Thank you Stan! :)

[@cmill7614]

i want this bartop for christmas.... how can i get my paws on it?

[@nchiley]

Make sure you add functionality to change colors for the front end controls in HS u are stuck with the default color.

[@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC]

Sure, I'll hit up Arzoo the LEDBlinky developer to make sure that's possible.

[@williamcarlton1483]

Do you know where to buy them in the UK or Europe

[@UnixGoldBoy]

Monster Arcades was using GameEx on their demo machines at a gaming show I was at. While it worked well, I didn't really like the interface. It reminded me of some Windows game interface from the mid 90s. I know that Monster said they would ship out the machines with GameEx pre-configured (everything except the ROMS which is fine). I'm hoping they'll start including LaunchBox as an option in the future that is pre-configured and supported meaning everything will work out of the box and all that's needed is loading up the ROMS.

[@MonsterArcades]

We are looking at the LaunchBox option right now. So maybe we will offer it soon.

[@UnixGoldBoy]

Yay!

[@wildamerican2771]

Monster Arcades GameEx Arcade would be nice if the main menu were more customizable.

[@philscomputers9671]

Hi just want to if this -> Ultimarc PAC-Drive Output Driver Board , works with blinky? Thanks like most front ends I was wounding if theirs any plans on adding your own intro when big box loads plus is possible for you to copy everything over to other hard drives

[@wanab1082]

is that a ESP guitar in the background ?

[@alphax_xomega5721]

looks awesome dude glad its working out for you, and that you and the kids are enjoying it :]

[@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC]

Thank you Alpha! :)

[@MrAdvokaten]

Are you booting straight into LaunchBox/Big Box?

[@-arcadefever]

i like the blinky implementation ! very nice !

[@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC]

Thank you Arcade! :)

[@nathanddrews]

I was curious about the GPU in this thing since Monster Arcades lists it using the AMD FX-4130, which doesn't have IGP. What GPU is currently running in it?

[@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC]

I had Keith customize the build a little; I asked for an Intel build and had him leave off the GPU so I could add my own card. So believe it or not it's currently using the on-board Intel graphics (which surprisingly is running Big Box, arcade, NES, SNES, and N64 just fine). :)

[@MrSoftwizard]

Simply amazing!

[@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC]

Thank you Softwizard! :)

[@Rmilyard]

@LaunchBox what controller did you have installed?

[@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC]

Monster took care of that for me; I believe it's an I-Pac.

[@sergiozuniga2476]

Que precio tiene la maquina

[@minuteworld7027]

if I ever get rich, where do you buy these?

[@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC]

www.monsterarcades.com/ You can customize your own art or even just use the exact same art; Keith has it all available for use. :)

[@kylewilliamson9946]

Are they going to start selling this arcade machines?

[@ETAPRIME]

This was custom built by Monster Arcades. www.monsterarcades.com/

[@davidb7166]

Can't stop laughing at the enthusiastic "Yay" Jason lol. But seriously, your an awesome Dad. And that cabinet looks damn sexy! Ricewind did a great job with the art.

[@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC]

Ha, thanks David. Yeah, Rincewind really nailed the art. :)

[@LordArquimes]

Wow very fascinating, and nostalgic!

[@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC]

Thank you Flavio! :)

[@Layby2k]

Jason is it working with rocketlauncher? I have to use RL for bezel and load screens.

[@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC]

I don't see why it wouldn't work Layby2k. Do you mean LEDBlinky? I haven't tested it but I do think people are using LEDBlinky and RocketLauncher combined, yes.

[@JSunBurns]

Love it!

[@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC]

Thank you Jason! :)

[@povertygamer]

If you want good performance for a low cost, get yourself a EVGA GTX 750ti FTW card. they are pretty cheap these days, low thermal temp and power consumption too.

[@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC]

Cool, I was thinking about a GTX 950 though. How's that?

[@povertygamer]

+LaunchBox well, it costs more, pretty sure it has more ram too. it's definitely overkill for a bartop cabinet though.

[@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC]

Oh but I love me some overkill! ;)

[@nicksmith1237]

Hey Jason, I can vouch for the EVGA 750ti FTW as it's the card I got my emulation PC 6 months ago. However if I were to build a new one right now I'd be going for something a little newer. Simply because of how the price of everything last Gen is dropping, now the 10 series cards have been released. Love the cab also, Soooooooo jealous lol

[@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC]

Thanks Nick, good to know. :)

[@JOHNBOYVR]

Wow love it 👏️👍️

[@aliessa4568]

I need one of those. Stupid country with no good suppliers 😡

[@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC]

I think Monster Arcades ships overseas... ;)

[@aliessa4568]

+LaunchBox yah but I can imagine the shipping will be insane. Plus Danish taxes will be on top and that could easily double the price.

[@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC]

Wow.

[@aliessa4568]

+LaunchBox yah looking for a UK supplier but the one I did find seems to be a pre-configured game set up. Emailed them about it I want something like you got with a pc inside and then being able to use LB.

[@ezerrrivas]

wowwww

[@aliessa4568]

Your kids will be real gamers. Not tablet playing kids just taping the screen like zombies to make the running character jump :( poor Mario

[@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC]

Hahahaha. I hope so. Trying to bring them up right! ;)

[@aliessa4568]

+LaunchBox 👍
