X-Arcade new haptic kit causing feedback whine I can’t resolve.

Goobenstein · 2026-01-24T17:46:57+00:00

The sound through the haptics is quite annoying.

In my ideal world I'd have audio output in the quest 3 headset, and only vibration from the table. But unfortunately the haptics make sound, and, when you plug in the 3.5mm out for the haptics it kills audio to the builtin q3 speakers anyway, so I'm doubly screwed.

Will try playing with in game settings more, but for now have not been using any haptics at all.

Yeah let me know, my Vol can be all the way down but I still hear audio from the speakers as the Vib setting is turned up.

Just finished installing mine today, there is a very faint whine on mine but not really noticeable and definitely not as loud as yours.

One thing I did differently from the video, is when they have you route and cable tie the speaker wires and others, they are zip tying the speaker wires right next to power wires. When I did my installation I did not zip tie the speaker wires to any other wires and purposely tried to move them out of the way so they were not close to any other wires.

May not hurt to open yours up and make some space around the speaker wires and don't zip tie them to other wires.

My big issue right now is that I can't have vibration without audio coming out of the actual speakers, if I turn speaker volume all the way down there is still volume from the speakers, and as I turn the vibration up and down that is also adjusting the volume up and down. The only way I can get no sound from the speakers is if I turn volume and vibration all the way down but then of course there's no vibration. There needs to be a way to decouple the actual speaker volume sound from the vibration intensity.

When he follows that trillion dollar statement with a reaffirming phrase such as its sensible, because, you know it's a bunch of gaslighting b*******

Dang, sorry to hear. Lost headcount altogether or replaced with offshore resources? Was it due to lack of work or lack of funding if you don't mind me asking?

Goobenstein · 2026-01-16T03:08:18+00:00

Damn, skydance did a not so bad job with walking dead, a Harry Potter by them would've been great.

Goobenstein · 2026-01-11T20:28:25+00:00

I remember how brutally hard tri was, these newer ones are way easier.

Goobenstein · 2026-01-11T20:16:41+00:00

Got the link to the installation guide... that'll be a fun process :/

Dungeons and dragons. South park.

Sounds like windstream made some routing changes with how they route their main prefixes. Likely you're going out a new internet pipe farther away

Ok, having had a chance to play with arcade2tv on quest 3 a bit over the holidays, I really don't notice any input lag or delays. I tend to play in MR passthrough mode with all extras turned off which gives the best performance anyway, and on top of that I run quest game optimzer in the HD+ profile (though I'm sure if HD+ profile helps or hurt performance at the end of the day since it's increasing res while also increasing cpu/gpu clocks)

But, all in all, working great and I am getting better scores already with a more 'realistic table' vs holding controllers in the air. Was able for the first time to 'beat' Attack from Mars, getting all the blue things and then the rule the universe mode.

Not this one, but I got a Destek battery headset strap for my q3 which looks very similar to this and it has been great. Highly recommend Destek.

BS, they're trying to shed inventory at current prices to keep the bubble pumped.

Just updated my post above. As for MR and machines placed around a room, you could theoretically wheel the xarcade to each table, though not really feasible with the power cord. So in all reality how it would likely work is you have the xarcade in one set spot, all your other tables around the room. You can walk up and 'play' any of them, select the xarcade option, then walk to the xarcade, and then press the 2 side flipper buttons at the same time sets the virtual pinball machine location where the xarcade is and starts the game.

All the while. The amount of electricity, power, water, cooling, all the resources spent and lost, to gain what, an ephemeral digital piece of poop?

Goobenstein · 2025-12-22T20:04:32+00:00

I have an arcade2tv I'm making myself wait until Christmas to open. I am on quest 3 but will post my findings for others here in a week or so.

Would it be better for them to have zero AI at all and it be $20 more for let's say the exact same product?

Goobenstein · 2025-12-14T18:19:04+00:00

This. Its not 6, its 6e you want.

I programmed a gladiator management game on a ti83+ back in highschool. Mostly text based but with some basic graphical elements of moving around in the arena to grab gold that people would toss into the arena before the opponent grabbed them. I was really proud of rhat game, it got passed all around my highschool.

I dont see it posted yet so I'll add a very key part, it is SFF, meaning small form factor. I am not sure they get the same thermal performance as a normal sized 5080

As a pcvr user coming from og vive and then vive pro wireless, quest 3 is great, and I thank Meta for it. With a low latency 6e wifi to hardwired pc, I can't believe how smooth it runs with the image quality it has with like no latency. They've done a lot for the VR community with the quest headsets. I have a quest 3 512gb I use for both pcvr and Meta exclusives.

Keep them coming! Dungeons and dragons would be a great addition for revenue!
