r/arcadecabinets

I wanted Retrobat and dual wheels everything working on “outside” but most games don’t start where did i go wrong? I am used to Batocera but wanted windows no files to share lol any suggestions i have tried ymls, cfgs. This is a special racing build from Arcade Punks and not sure if that’s my issue but don’t even know what else behind scenes to check any thoughts for Grams? ;)

I've got light guns and guitar hero :) Tell me what ya'll think

I have a nice 2p control panel that I got from Game Room Solutions that I want to turn into a pedestal. I whipped up this design with a little 12" screen to act as a marquee flanked by 4" speakers.

I tried to integrate the existing control panel and provide clearance for knees while seated. I think the angles look ok, but I think I'll need to adjust them a bit to get a good fit for t-molding.

On the bottom, I plan on installing leveling feet to get the front of the control panel around 38" off ground. I'll generally play seated with my kids standing.

In the mockup I didn't include any internal bracing or shelves, but I'm thinking I'd have an internal shelf a little below the bottom of the control panel to hold the computer. There would be two rear doors on hinges to access the top section and the bottom section.

Looking for input from anyone that may have some.

Hey yall,

I’m building my first custom machine;
It will be a wall mounted slim design that folds up

I’m looking for recommendations on what I should use as the “brains”

I’m hoping for it to be smooth and be able to run games well of course.
However as budget friendly as possible (CAD prices).

I’ve been looking at raspberry Pi’s however Im unsure what one to go with?
I have also seen people recc. PC’s for this, I’m unsure I’d be able to fit a full sized computer inside with a graphics card.

Any recommendations would be great, image of the design I plan to be using is attached!

Cheers

I came across this tabletop arcade on OfferUp. The guy says it needs a new jamma board. Or maybe just a switch? This is what he said specifically:

“Researching it, I was told it's a pretty simple fix: turn the machine off -on the jamma board are four little tiny switches. They’re very small. The number four switch just needs to be flipped the other way turn it back on. You should be good to go. But I have not had time to try the fix yet.”

Does that make sense? If it’s an easy fix, I’d like to buy it, but I don’t want to get hosed.

I was finally digging into my newest acquisition, a mistreated Astro City candy cab, took apart the front to clean off the years of grime and cigarette tar. The screen would attempt to come on upon power up but safety would kick in and turn it off. First business was to check for cold solder joints and clean up the board. I took it all apart inspecting, cleaning, and reflowing traces. There's def capacitor leakage on the mobo, so this badboy needs a recap and calibration. I'm located in Los Angeles, and honestly I wouldn't mind just having someone who has familiarity with these nanao monitor pcbs work on it, instead of me taking a stab.

I found this old Arcade projects write up on archive dot org with someone's handywork noting the capacitor values on their Rev C board, but I think mine is different:

Nanao MS9-29A – Chassis #05A00675C1 Neckboard #05B00950C1   
Neckboard   
10uF 250v         C332   


Mainboard   
1uF 50v          C102/C554/C556 
2.2uF 50v        C211/C212/C213/C411 
10uF 35v         C957 
10uF 50v         C455/C456/C457 
10uF 250v        C513 
22uF 50v         C107/C222/C451/C459/C458 
47uF 16v         C201/C202/C203/C561/C958 
47uF 160v        C953 
100uF 10v        C562 
100uF 16v        C221 
100uF 35v        C407/C408/C409/C503 
100uF 160v       C515 
180uF 100v       C951 
220uF 25v        C955 
220uF 100v      C952 
470uF 16v       C220/C402 
680uF 10v       C956 
680uF 35v       C954 
1000uF 35v      C406 

What's throwing me off the most about this right now is I am having difficulty finding this exact revision chassis mobo, mine says "05A00675B1"

I see there's info on C rev, with different capacitor values, recap kits on ebay that claim work for this board but only mention Rev C in the description.

here's some pics of where I'm at:

Hi all- I’m in the process of building a two piece arcade cabinet (top can separate if needed to make a barcade. In the bottom base of the cabinet, I plan to have my retro systems - nes snes genesis ps2 Xbox and Wii. And pc. Those systems will not be running at the same time. I’m trying to anticipate what sort of ventilation the sections will be needing. I’ve seen fans like these and also the double units. Can someone advise what should be sufficient? Thanks! https://www.coolerguys.com/collections/usb-fans/products/coolerguys-120x120x25mm-1200rpm-usb-fan-with-grill

If someone can help I am in Germany 🇩🇪 very interested into some hardware. Guns, panel, bezel …

This is a original universal cabinet made by atari, usually called "NOVA", simple to use and super reliable, comes with a original hantarex polo monitor.

Selling two cabinets in great condition:
Rampage cabinet with riser
Marvel Super Heroes cabinet with special Marvel riser
Both work great and have been adult-owned in a smoke-free home. Screens, controls, and sound all work properly.
Looking for:
$350 for Rampage
$600 OBO for Marvel Super Heroes
Local pickup only in the St. Johns/Jacksonville, Florida area. Can sell separately.
Cash preferred.
