Lol. The monitor was in my garage as a test unit. Not the one being used to play. Also there is not a front end better than Launchbox for Arcade Machines. Hyperspin for example is one of the most overly complicated pieces of software ever written and launchbox is superior in every conceivable way. Your only other options are emulation station which from a theming standpoint is nowhere near as nice looking as a launchbox and emulator integration is not as good as lunchbox either. That leaves you with batocera, and coin ops. Launchbox and BigBox are vastly superior to everything else that’s out there.
@@sdfghgtrew Retroarch doesn't emulate everything buddy...Model 2 for example isn't emulated. Plus trying to navigate retroarch playlists as an arcade front end would be a joke compared to launchbox. Launchbox is intuitive, user friendly, and looks amazing. Retroarch would be comparable to just using MAME UI as a front end. Would it work, sure. Would it be stupid to use it in a world where nice looking front ends like launchbox/big box are available? YES
@@jogo8261I've actually been very happy with retrobat in my pedestal arcade. It's super easy and supports a ton of systems. I have nearly 200 in mine. Many of those are obscure systems I had never even heard of before. Not trying to argue or anything. From everything I've seen and heard launch box is an excellent front end. Just thought I'd mention that retrobat is a viable option as well and it's totally free. I know launch box is free as well but if I were going to use it as my front end, I would have to upgrade to get access to big box. Don't really Care for the plain Jane look of launchbox.

So did you build this yourself and are you selling? Or did you buy a cabinet from gameroomsolutions and just customized it after?
Put a 42 in on the wall and we can get a TMNT party going!
Sweet set up.
i would get a larger monitor to really set it off
Do u have a spinner and pin ball buttons on your pedelstal?
nice
I’d like one of these but heard GRS customer service is so bad.
I would like to build my own pedestal arcade, do you have plans?
I don't. But you can purchase a DIY kit from game room solutions. Just google them
A fantastic looking unit, but ruined by the monitor and also lunchchbox software. You went to all this effort and hard work and left it half finished.

Retroarch playlists are fine

Hey Jo how well does big box play mortal kombat games and can you add games?
What are the dimensions?
Where can I get mine?
How did you get the joysticks to work
Pretty broad question. Do you mean what encoder? Mapping? Do you have any frame of reference for emulation?
How much for a pedestal
