docs.google.co... Here's my basement arcade. Let me know if you have any questions or want to know where to get something you saw in the video.
That custom mame machine with changing marquee is incredible. Love it
Nice to see more people keeping the arcade experience alive now that new arcades are basically just rigged claw games
And app games your kid can already play on your phone for free. But on a bigger flat screen.
Incredible MAME machine, i love the change marquee detail
That has to be the coolest mame machine ever. The lcd marquee is amazing
3:15 . Wow, that's considered to be one of the best pinball games ever! And you have it in your home!
Wow you have a very awesome basement acrade I love it and you can see the passion and effort you put into it amazing you have 2 of my favorite pinball games im absolutely definitely loving this acrade Great Job!!!!
Thank you! I'm working on getting more. I replaced MMR with Monster Bash Remake LE.
@@mamefan Cool 😎 Simply Awesome please up load more videos im currently in the process of turning my garage into a game room myself🎮
*Your channel always reminds me I really should play arcade games on my setup 😅, very inspiring video great stuff man 👌🏼*
super off road is so dope. i remember going to myrtle beach in the 80's for vacation and playing "off road" in an arcade off the beach. i remember whipping the steering wheel super hard going around the turns and it would spin like crazy and be super durable. loved that game. that's a very cool piece you own there.
11:52 every kid back then had at least one bert and ernie shirt 🤣
I did.
That Vs. Excitebike arcade marquee is great!
Awesome setup mate. Big fan of the marquee artwork, that screen does them justice
Dude this is amazing! Epic setup. Those 4 player arcade games bring back so many good memories. Wish I was closer to Virginia!
Just seeing this video man but amazing detail with the changing marquee. When I get to make my custom arcade I’m definitely getting that cuz it just adds to the experience when you’re playing those vintage games.
Taito’s pronounced in Japanese that goes Ti-To with both “i” and “o” being long vowels. Trust me, I enjoy the company since playing my childhood favorites, Bust A Move, Cameltry, Pucchi Carat, Growl, and my favorite of all, Cleopatra Fortune. (: Anyway, gotta say, I like that huge MAME arcade cabinet and all the controls to play specific games. Also, I think I’ve seen this emulation feature from another multi-arcade somewhere and I gotta say, I like that includes some of my favorites like Strider, Street Fighter II, TMNT, and Tapper. (: Hope it haves other amazing games that I recall it might have like Captain Commando, Final Fight, Forgotten Worlds, The Simpsons, Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, Bionic Commando, Cleaopatra Fortune, etc. ^.^’ Anyway, like your arcade basement you set up there. Not much, but there is still a lot of comfort and entertainment to enjoy. (: Also, arcade owners like you are always giving me the inspiration in making my own arcade room, in which I’m serious about this is my actual dream as a gamer. ^.^ But TBH, the only thing I know how to run is gaming options and secret softwares within the program aside from making MAME gaming programs work, but however, I still need class lessons on arcade mechanics since I don’t know much about it. May not be an engineer, but I’ll take my chances to learn em’ just to show that I truly care and provide passion within these arcade cabinets. Anyway, for my arcade dream room, unlike most I see from other arcade owners, I want to mix mines with both retro and modern arcade like adding in for example, Project Diva F, House of the Dead, Injustice, Tekken, Mario Bros, The Walking Dead, Donkey Kong, Guitar Hero, Namco’s Pac Man and Friends Arcade Cabinet, Neon FM, Neo Geo Arcade Cabinet, Big Buck Hunter Wild HD, Marvel vs. Capcom 1 and 2, etc. along with some Stern Pinball Machines like The Walking Dead, Shrek, Game of Thrones, and Ghostbusters, and also, putting in a little console gaming area for console fun like Smash Bros Ultimate, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Smash Bros. Melee, etc. Also, I hope it doesn’t hurt to ask, but I would love to hear your opinion in what do you think of this idea of my own dream arcade room? ^.^’ I thought of it cuz when watching 1980’s arcade tribute, I read in the comments that retro arcade gamers miss retro arcades and wish they return, and also, I saw that the Pac Man and Friends arcade in Dave & Busters gets only some love from some gamers while the modern games around it gets more love than it does like it is the lonely student in a lunch room and he/she doesn’t get much attention from the crowd. So, I wanted to mix both modern and retro to show that both of these arcade genres deserve the love they share equally with, along with retro being present to show that it is still living from underneath the ashes and it waits to show the world its true form of entertainment from the past. (:
My machine has every non-modern video game you mentioned. I have many more to record. You're going to need a giant room for all of those games. To save physical space, I prefer to emulate all games that use regular joysticks and buttons. I bought Off Road because it has 3 steering wheels and pedals, which would be very tough to emulate properly. You can play Off Road on MAME with joysticks and buttons, but it's nowhere near as fun. I want to keep buying more games that don't emulate well. Pinball machines are good examples of that. I'm running out of space though.
mamefan Ah, okay. Thanks. (: And yeah, I can see that most like the modern arcades and shooter arcades are huge, but no worries, I just go to any modern arcade places or places with retro arcades and use my measuring tape to measure the size of arcades I am deciding to add and input them both on to my arcade list to keep it in mind, and on my blueprint design to examine and double check my idea of creating the room. Also, I’m taking decisions in which ones I’ll keep and which ones I’ll leave out till later in the future. And also, I am searching for arcades that emulates multiple games similar to the original arcades and I manage to find some. But for the mediocre ones like Three Wonders, King of Fighters 10th Anniversary, Growl, Castlevania Haunted Castle, etc. , they are too hard to find. But hey, as long as I learn and take practice on arcade functions, I should be gold in creating cabinets for the mediocre retro games. Anyway, thanks for the heads up. As always, I wish you the best of good luck! 👍
@@sonicexereaper6814 "Three Wonders, King of Fighters 10th Anniversary, Growl, Castlevania, Haunted Castle" You can play all of those with MAME. You just need to learn MAME, which you can do on youtube. You also need to find the roms. You'll probably want a front-end, like Hyperspin or LaunchBox. You can run all of that on any PC.
Or get mameui64 here: www.mameui.info/
mamefan Oh, I’ve installed the MAME program on my Mac and had it for about 7 months. TBH, I already gotten steps in installing the games, which is the accurate size for the game file, and installing CHD files or other missing inputs to make the game run well without any issues or missing details. (: But now, I need to learn how to install and input a game selection menu in it without having to do it in the PC way of closing the file and selecting another one on the MAME file. Just to make it more an arcade feel than a typical PC MAME emulator feel.
Pretty sweet set up! Wish we had Basements in Tx.
Why DONT we have basements anyway?
@@greysky1252 Texas soil/clay just can’t handle it. Not safe!
@@ChezArcade oh. I live in SA so i thought it was because we have a 1 ft layer of soil to dig, then 12 more feet of bedrock we would have to blast or jackhammer through. While the north has a mile deep of nice squishy dirt they can easily shovel through.
Cool room man. Enjoyed the video
Great showcase. Amazing custom arcade, probably best one Ive seen. Im now getting one for myself. And my kids. I want them to experience the same thing as when I was a kid. I also have Ps4, high end PC and many Nintendo consoles, but nothing can beat the clicking sound of buttons and proper mechanic joysticks. I really like hypermarquee, that is super cool. Most of the games from your fav list are on mine too. There was many I never played. Would really like to see all of them. Or even a list. Great stuff. Congrats Man ;-)
Love that arcade cabinet!
Great setup, love that marquee setup on the mame cab.
Thanks, Mario Mario.
I like arcade 'stuff' and VR. And your channel. Subscribed! (I think that you deserve much more subscribers.) Great arcade basement!
Nice game room man! Appreciate you sharing
Awesome arcade basement man. Im sure you have a ton of more ideas to add stuff and take it up a notch.
People talk about how expensive PCVR is, and its true if you're playing light weight stuff like Beat Saber, but not true if you play beefier games like Project Cars 2, Assetta Corsa, or New Retro Arcade Neon.
I guess you mean bc you keep buying more games if you get games like beat saber? You can mod it to add more songs and stuff though. I don't play it anymore though. That was years ago.
That marquee looks really good.
Hey Mame-Fan,Found your video after you Told me😀 Nice Arcade room and cool Pinball machines.A Pinball machine I would like to have is Popeye😁. it’s in the shape of a Big boat everything happens on deck or the upperdeck and the original music and sound effects tops it off.I’m affraid it’s gonna be expensive if I have to Import it to The Netherlands😤
Thanks! Popeye Saves the World. I'm interested in that one too. It's usually pretty cheap to buy.
Dude less is more. You don't have a room full of games but the ones you do have are better and way more valuable. Midevil madness is 8k+ alone. Good job!
Ha, I'm selling MMR today. I couldn't get 8k for it, sadly. Thanks.
Great work! I got a revenue from Mars and I'm building a vpin!
That's a pretty sweet setup, man. I've always wanted to try out one of those VR racing setups. I bet Dirt Rally is crazy in that thing. I'm digging the RGB basement, too.
Thanks! The seat just vibrates. Some people have 3dof and higher seats. I've thought about it.
@@mamefan It would be cool to build mame racing game arcade cabinet around one of those.
Yeah, I thought about it. I'm too lazy to build though. I'd prob want it to be a standup thing to save space.
At the menu at 0:29, I see Vs. Balloon Fight, Vs. Dr. Mario, Vs. Excitebike, Vs. The Goonies, Vs. Gradius, Vs. Gumshoe, Vs. Hogan's Alley, Vs. Ice Climber, Vs. Slalom, and Vs. Top Gun.
Menu at 0:29?
@@mamefan I'm sorry. I meant, menu at 24:29.
Off Road, c'était GENIAL !
Nice set up brother. MM and your MAME were my favorites. You should set up a Classic VG room with a CRT in your back room.
Dream Home Arcades is also known as Extreme Home Arcades. Let me know if you want to know anything else.
Curious. Did they also do the marquee for you? or is that something you added on yourself?
Scott Buckets, I ordered that off ebay from Vitrolight (shady Chinese company) and had it delivered to dream home arcades to build into the cabinet. They had never done it before but were willing. Getting it working with software was up to me since they had never tried before.
I wonder if, like me, these home arcades often just turn into oddly decorated home offices. People who can afford them often don't have time to use them, they're too busy earning the money that pays for them. My room once dedicated to VR and sim gaming has evolved mainly into just a place I do professional work--but in the glow of RGB LED lights.
Probably. I only work 40 hours per week at most, so I have time, luckily.
@@mamefan Damn! What do you do for a living man? Also love the setup! Looking to build my own megacade similar to yours very soon.
@@RHRetro Thanks. Fed cybersecurity
Oops, not Cyclops. That was Colossus.
Very cool arcade. Don't know if you still have the Rift, but you might try setting it's priority to a higher level, just not highest. Oh, yes. I've played my fair measure of Halflife, and Quake. Thanks for sharing this. :)
Thanks. I sold the Rift and have a Rift S now.
oO No Words FFFF glorious place,BIG Cave envy such a place ;)
Thanks. I have another arcade game now, Vindicators. APB will be coming eventually.
What is the company website url? Looking to order Custom Arcade and pinball machine
extremehomearcades.com
Cool collection.
Job well done. Going to post my basement arcade
Todd, thank you!
How’s the control panel artwork holding up without the Perspex overlay? Is the control panel artwork have any protective coating? I’m looking into buying one maybe, but don’t like the way the have all the screws for the Perspex overlay.
The CP artwork has held up fine. No issues. It feels like it has some kind of coating. I'd ask extreme home arcades what it is if I were you.
MAME-FAN oh, ok. When did you purchase your machine? Did you receive his latest games update? I’ve notice he has several new pc games on his builds now. As for the light guns not working, I’ve seen a video from a Scantron on CZcams that explains that the bezels have to be off to work properly, and you can easily calibrate the guns in seconds using Buck hunter game
@@Str8Spaded No, I didn't ask for an update. All I care about are old arcade games. Yeah, bezels need to be off. I just recently realized that.
MAME-FAN gotcha. Love your videos. Became a subscriber two weeks ago! Keep up the great work!
@@Str8Spaded Thanks. I've been meaning to make a in depth video about the cabinet.
Great video. Thanks for posting this. Have a nice day.
Your Off Road machine looks sweet, too. Can I fly to your house and play with your expensive toys?
Yeah. I'm in VA. See you soon.
Amazing mame arcade machine, but don`t you have problems with the input lag due to the use of a LCD screen??
Thanks. No, because the TV is in game mode, triplebuffer and waitvsync are off (0 in mame.ini), and lowlatency is on (1 in mame.ini). My mame.ini is here drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pj2kcfYJ194ejmBia9c7ApEA_HOcWVRn?usp=sharing
@@mamefan do you use filters to emulate crt image? In that case, which configuration of filters do you use? Thanks for your time and congratulations for your channel!!
Yeah, HLSL. It's all in that same link. See the files there.
2 years later, but do you have the model of the Vitrolight or at least dimensions? Thanks in advance!
Nice setup in the house too by the way.
Marquee 38" diag stretched bar Vitrolight LCD. I can try to get more.
@@mamefan Yea let me know, I'm in the process of building a 4 player as well, I like the design of your cabinet, I have yet to reach out to Dream Home Arcades, if they would send or sell me just the dimension plans?

cool arcade and pinball machine
Does the shuffleboard table get a lot of use? I am thinking about getting one. Sorry if you mentioned it in the video and I missed it
Ha, I gave it away for free bc it never got used and took up a ton of space. I was just happy to get it out. It had to go through a window bc it's so long.
@@mamefan interesting. It’s funny, I’ve put so much shit into my basement - pool table, MAME cabinet, virtual pinball, Golden Tee Live, putting green, dartboard, etc. When I was a kid I would have killed to have any of this stuff. Now as an adult, I just stare at it. Getting old is so depressing.
Anyway, a friend of mine has a neighbor selling his house and giving away a 9 foot table for free. I know nobody will ever use it. Oh well
You sound like me. I'm old and staring at stuff in my basement right now. Too tired to do anything tonight.
Also, in the place of the shuffleboard table is my STUN Runner that stopped working. Nobody seems to know how to fix it, so it just sits there also not being used and taking up space.
@@mamefan hahah. When my kids go to sleep, I just walk around the basement for like 2 minutes looking at everything like “nah, I don’t want to play video games, don’t want to play pool, don’t want to play pinball, don’t want to watch TV. Guess I’ll just go to bed.”
Sounds like I need a shuffleboard table!!!!
hey man did you get the aimtracks working? they are a bit of a bitch at first to set up. check your mame.ini and make sure "off screen shots reload" is set to 1
I did. The issue was rocketlauncher bezels. I fixed it with this (from a post I made to someone):
Here's the gun game bezel fix. I'm sharing files here drive.google.com/open?id=1tJ9cKuZp8_Q9hE_Iv3gI1fpFwjVluLF7
Copy that User Functions folder into D:\Arcade\RocketLauncher\Lib. That will make it so you can't point the cursor beyond the game screen edge. The other folders are bezel folders for Lethal Enforcers 1 & 2 and Terminator 2. Put those in this folder D:\Arcade\RocketLauncher\Media\Bezels\MAME. You might need to overwrite or delete folders that are already there. You don't want any bezels being used that overlap the game at all. I made those bezels so they don't. With those bezels, you can play those games without issue. I'm going to keep making more. All you have to do is get rid of any part of the bezel that overlaps the game, so you can open gun game bezels you already have and edit them if you want. Here's an example of these files being used: czcams.com/video/t2Yoj6zbyd4/video.html
Awesome basement arcade! I'm looking to buy a new PC and monitor (or TV), and I was wondering what the size (in inches) of your Arcade cabinet screen is (not the marquee screen, but the big screen where you play)? Also what brand, is it 4K, LED/OLED, LCD? Also do the games have a shader to simulate the look of a CRT arcade screen, such as scanlines/slot mask/aperture grille? Do you know what the name of the shader is? Lottes HLSL? Also do you know what the specs of your computer is running Hyperspin? What video card is it using? Thanks

I did a video on HLSL that shows what I do. I'm not even using a shader anymore now.
Thanks!
I noticed the Nvidia GTX 750 Ti uses mini-HDMI. Which cable do you use to connect the GTX 750 Ti to your TV on your Hypserspin arcade cabinet? HDMI/mini-HDMI/DVI?
@@citrusmixer1313 I'm pretty sure mine had HDMI.
Thanks! Sorry to bug you again, but can you please tell me what the model number of your Mitsubishi LCD TV is in the Hyperspin cabinet? Or if you can't find the model number, just send me an Internet link to your specific TV? I'd appreciate it.
That's Colossus, you fool
I corrected that in a comment over 3 years ago, fool.
Would be cool if the pinball clock displayed world high scores.
It'd need an internet connection. Man, every pinball machine would too, unless there's some updated high score database out there somewhere.
Which is basic functionality these days.
@@RogueCylon But pinball machines aren't internet-connected, even new ones.
mamefan I thought Twin Galaxies tracked official ones. I’m more Arcade Cabs than pinball.
@@RogueCylon Looks like they do. I post my high scores with pics to pinside.com. I'm not very interested in high scores other than my own though. If someone came over and beat mine, you can bet I'd be all over that machine trying to reclaim my spot though. The clock is to display the time and pinball DMD art. Other people's scores wouldn't be interesting to me. My own might be. There might be a way to add them in. You can put more art on the clock with an SD card.
Nice work😎
How do you have the name you have and still call it a "MANE" machine?
I didn't.
Will you be featuring video of you actually playing these games?
nirvgorilla, yeah, I'll start doing that. I'd play requested games too.
You got your cab from dream home arcades?
Yeah, called extreme home arcades now.
Pricey ?
Mine was around $6k
He makes awesome cabs! Yours is kick ass man!
May I ask what you do for a living?
@nick pierson yeah, cybersecurity A&A work.
wow you put a lot of wprk in everything you do
Wow, so you CAN’T be Dazzler when you play X-men?!
Not when you play the 6 player version if you only have 4 joysticks. There are 4 and 2 player versions where you can pick your character, but they don't have the dual monitor look.
Cool video. I had a MAME cabinet built from DreamHome arcades as well. Real pricey, but they do build a nice cabinet. However, most of my games don't work. Some play great and others don't even play at all, even at times freezing up the whole computer system. I can't get any of the games to work right on the newer system emulators (PS1 and 2 and anything newer than the Nintendo 64) When I call support, he sounds like he gets pissed at me because I have to ask him questions about the set-up. Word of advice. If you computer savvy, then you might like the MAME cabinet. If not, just get the console remakes and save the money.
I agree that their software setup needs work. I didn't like the way they had it setup, and it was just too many games/systems, so I redid it with a newer version of Hyperspin. Dave, the owner, is very responsive, but, yes, he can get irritated. I can imagine that trying to fix people's emulator issues is a pain in the ass. I've been into it since 1998 and still have issues I can't figure out sometimes. You do need to know what you're doing. A total casual is going to have a hard time when inevitable issues occur.
dadofducks I realize it's been a year since you left this comment. Maybe one of these guys can help or someone in the Facebook group can assist. DThomasFromNC has a video all about N64 on his channel.

Fantastic arcade. Wondering if I might be able to use your photo (around 12:07) for a book I'm writing on accessible gaming and enabled gaming. One of the earliest access features were boxes and chairs for little kids like us to use in the arcades so they could see the screen. I'm at oneswitch [hat] gmail.com if you're okay with that or would like to ask anything more. Keep safe and sound.
