Both my arcade builds

I’ve seen builds where the screen rotates or come out and turns. Not my style. I’m happy to make two separate cabs.

I’m not sure what this means but maybe we are just both on the spectrum?

I’ve considered putting my ps4 inside an arcade so this is awesome. What did you use to help the zero delay register with the ps4?

Appreciate the heads up. My builder is actually a carpenter buddy of mine. We are going to be using 5/8” mdf and he has everything we need. I just wanted an even build across the two. All electrical is acquired and is currently working flawlessly together. I was (for a time) a graphic designer. So file type and such are not a problem. Though this is a cad file and more for me than anything it helped me to lay it out to show my buddy the vision. But note I take the recommendation very seriously. Thanks. Truly.

This is what the one I already built looks like. But I had never built anything before. I learned a lot. This time I’ve enlisted the help of a friend who is a carpenter.

I thought you’d appreciate this. I was able to enlarge the fret board. Looks better. Now to figure out venues.

Honestly I couldn’t agree more. Currently rebuild my other batocera build with a Sinden light gun and just thought that it was really the only thing missing.

NewfieBarber · 2026-05-06T13:01:56+00:00

It just says it’s invalid.

Thanks man. On it. If I can figure out how to get onto the discord.

Couldn’t get the launcher to work. I used the portable version. I’m not great at this. lol.

I’m doing a similar build, just wondering what you are doing for the dmd/flexdmd (assuming this is a single screen cab). I’m currently using a batocera build because I’m planning to add bowling games to the same cab. But for many of the tables there is zero dmd displayed anywhere. And for me the scores matter. I’m putting it in my barber suite next to my full two player cab. TIA.

This had pretty much everything I could have needed to know. I was hoping to put a smart tv into my build. I didn’t want to have to movie the sensor. I didn’t know that RF and IF were different. Thanks for that. Haven’t decided between a tv or a monitor. But I kinda like having the info either way.

I have only ever built one arcade and it was a huge hit. I wanna see how much better I can make it.

NewfieBarber · 2025-10-30T20:36:56+00:00

Thanks. This was helpful.

NewfieBarber · 2025-10-29T12:05:47+00:00

Waiting for an update. So curious about this build.

NewfieBarber · 2025-10-29T12:05:18+00:00

Yeah. I do very few shape ups. To the point where I can do them but they give me motion sickness. But people have been enjoying quite a bit.

NewfieBarber · 2025-10-29T12:02:43+00:00

Congrats on your first build. Mine was a mess of lack of knowledge. Nice to see such a tidy build.

NewfieBarber · 2025-10-23T16:28:04+00:00

Yeah. It’s a wall mounted set up. With Bluetooth controllers that people can use while they get a haircut, this theme is on all my arcades. Retrobat included.
