Thanks for pluggin' my channel bro.
I will do that for all my videos since you and a few others provide great content on the Megacade and the Ultra VP.
@@TheHoff4K my dood!
I've watched a bunch of these because I have a big arcade cabinet too.
Good job picking out the smaller but practical issues and setups with the control panel. It's hard together right the first time!
I’m looking into a steering wheel setup now that I can use on this and my pc and my son can use on his PlayStation 4 for GT Sport. I want to duplicate the arcade screen and just swap the cables to my PC when I want to play more graphic intensive games as this only has a GTX 1660. Need to save a bit to get a Fantec GT DD Pro with a Next level racing setup to hold it. Basement finishing is taking all my money.
@@TheHoff4K finishing a basement gets crazy expensive!
Very cool, I would like to own one someday
Awesome Hoff. Looks great!
I love it and when the kids see me go through more games they notice more games then never new were on here. So then they jump right on to play.
Man, this is wicked cool! I'd love to have something like this. It will be an incredibly long time from now but it would be cool. I'm not great at filming anything I get or buy so the likely hood of me recording it is slim but it's nice to see more of these machines this year cause I'm wondering how they're looking and all that. The joysticks and buttons look amazing! I'm seriously torn between the two player and 4 because honestly it will be mostly just myself and maybe my niece when she is big enough to enjoy it I highly doubt I'll need a 4 player but who knows. I'm thinking it will be like 3-4 years minimum before I'm able to get one of these, mostly due to space.
damn thats actually crazy asf!!
"Figure something out we will." The force is strong with this one. 🤔
That’s awesome
Nice machine.👍
FYI, suction cups will not work over the trackball. The trackball comes through a hope in the box. It's not air-tight.
Ah well I’m thinking about getting a Sim setup for racing where I upgrade this GPU and do screen share for the games on here and then screen share my PC to run newer games that need a lot better of a GPU than a 3060 I might put in here.
Awesome machine.
Did you have to disable the scanline option in Launchbox because that was causing a lot of ghosting on many of the games
So far no. I have most settings as they came. I did have to set up the dance pad for the kids and xinput on a few games but that was it.
@@TheHoff4K
Try playing some of the older games like centipede and donkey kong. they had weird ghosting going on, but when i disabled the scanline option in Launchbox it went away.
@@tom11zz884 I’ll try them again but I didn’t notice that.
You brought up some good sensible recommendations, especially with not including the flight stick. I immediately noticed in other CZcamsr videos that the flight stick covered part of the screen, which is a no go for me - and it had significant input lag. Do the classic games (that played on CRT monitors) have scanline filters as an option?
Yes scanline filters are an option. The classic games play very well when using theb4 way joystick or track ball. I do find the Newer packman battle 4 player game is hard when using the 8 way joystick. Also I kinda wish I requested a better GPU and maybe CPU. I find injustice has a bit of lag and other newer games might too. I also want to add things to stream so I might just do a 2 pc setup for that using my custom PC.
I absolutely hate mines. Thing is absolutely not plug and play. Every time I call Dave to troubleshoot, he has a snarky lil attitude like I’m bothering him. For $10k you would think it would be a way better cabinet and customer service.
Have you been on the owners group on facebook? They really are helpful people and some of them help create the new hard drives.
@@TheHoff4K Ill will check them out. Thank U
More like plug N pray. My experience was a total shite show. At least I got my money back.😇
@@crazykong1967 im bout to give it one more go. And then im going to need a refund
What did you hate about yours? Did you keep our get a refund?
Benn saving up for one! Looks so good!
I love mine and remember you can get them to customize it to your liking as well as add just about anything on it you like. Even add or upgrade things not on their form.
Exciting hey?, I'm building my own, because i'm adding rgb addressable buttons and a 24" lcd marquee, mine's only 2 player though with a smaller 32" screen, i like the idea of a big 42" screen
I could of went with RGB buttons and marquee but thought buttons might have screen glare I didn’t want. And the marquee is not necessary. Building your own is a nice fun project. If I had a bit more time I might of but 3 kids and the wife take a lot of time already. You going to show off the build on CZcams?
The led joysticks don't look as good in my opinion. They look a little cheesy. Great looking machine you have.
Yea not a fan of the LED joysticks. Buttons are ok. I might work on a sim racing rig once all the other projects are finished. I would switch it between my computer and the arcade machine. I do want to add in a better GPU as it is not enough if you play newer PC games.
After almost 1 year of owning this, are you happy with it? Also, have you heard of a direct competitor with Retrocade? If so, curious what made you choose Extreme over Retrocade? Thanks.
Yes the family and I are all happy with it. I like the customization on this better than Retrocade. Adam arcade channel has a great looking arcade and he has added a lot of cool things.
I see MK 11 is mapped to your sticks and buttons, much better than a controller which kills the arcade experience. Did it come this way, or did you have to set it up and map the buttons? What i read previously was that steam games had to be played with a controller, so i'm now a bit more optimistic. Also, I see mk11 was right in your game library without having to separately go to steam etc, also killimg the arcade experience immersion. How did you get it in your arcade library? Another review i saw the player went to steam each time, i dont want to do that and would rather integrate into the game library in the software. Appreciate any feedback you can provide to help me :)
This machine came like this with the games. There is a program that runs to map some games for the joystick and buttons and then another program runs when the games closes to close the mapping program. But new games will run from steam. And I found the new Ninja turtles games likes steam to be running to work well.
Hello,
Newbie here considering a purchase w EHA but hesitant due to the research I’ve been doing on UTube. Want to buy but been seeing issues w emulators running slow or not running at all w certain games. I’m also not interested in utilizing any type of external controllers or joysticks during gameplay which I hear can be an issue at times too. I want to experience all gameplay using the control panel on the cabinet to have that retro arcade experience all the time. I hear this can’t be done w certain games including some classic arcade games, console games and hand held gaming devices like the PlayStation, Nintendo NES Wii, PSP, GameBoy Advance or Nintendo DS. Is this true? If so, that would be a huge game changer for me as far as making a purchase is concerned. Would it be possible to do a demo of some of my faves and give me your honest review of the gameplay?
Thanks!

You can give me a list and I can see what I can do. But I will say all classic arcade games and Consoles up to the Nintendo 64 use the Joystick and control panel. Nintendo 64 on up have the analog sticks and use an Xbox controller. Wii uses Wii controllers and the light bar. I have not tried to connect the switch controller but heard you can. I have used an Xbox controller and added new switch games and played them. I have no issues with games that I played so far. For newer PC games you may want a better GPU than the 1660 Super that came with mine. I also added an other 16tb hard drive to keep adding games. Newest games I have are both Spider-man games, High on life, and the newest Pokémon games on switch. The PlayStation for most games works the best with the Xbox controllers. I also have no steering wheel for racing games yet.
@@TheHoff4K Thsnks for all the info brother. What I really need and want to know is if all the Alien/Aliens themed games work effectively w the cabinet control panel on whatever consoles they’re offered on. Especially Aliens Infestation on the Nintendo DS. Huge fan of the franchise and have always wanted to play these games on a cabinet.
Also, I’m looking to have my Megacade
Continued….
I’m also looking to have my MegaCade customised entirely w 4 classic looking ball on top style joysticks instead of the ones you have on your cabinet. Bad idea?
@@joekrajewski55 if you mean like the one that is green on mine above the rest then yes. That joystick is 4 way only not 8 way. And what I have is the best feeling joysticks for this arcade. The LED ones are not great and didn’t feel as great when you used them. I hated the LED ones in fighting games.
@@joekrajewski55 I’d have to look at that but there is a facebook group for owners that can help as well. Plus if you look Arcadeadam and scantron5k on CZcams they have machines. Adam is always adding cool things to his and has an Etsy store to add things to yours.
I wanted to see the complete unboxing and how you got that mammoth thing into the space that you did....
It comes in a large wooden crate. There were blankets all over the machine to protect it. The accessories were taped and wrapped up within the blankets. The driver was in a hurry so I didn’t film the unboxing. It is in my garage for now till my basement is finished. But the controller panel comes off with just a couple of screws and wires to disconnect. Then it goes through doors sideways easily.
@@TheHoff4K I see! Thanks! I assembled a 32 inch arcade from Game Room Solutions in my garage; kept it there for awhile, but actually wanted it in my basement, so I had to disassembled it and reassemble it in my basement. These things are too big to move put together, so I was interested to see how you managed everything. Nice video! Good luck with everything!
@@RicoTorreze my garage is a walk out. So the same guys finishing my basement said they will help in moving it down the hill and into the basement from the back basement door. I have seen others move these up and down stairs.
@@TheHoff4K That's good! Yeah, the garage is cool temporarily, but there is nothing like a nice new finished basement with an arcade in it! Good luck!
I also have a megacade from extreme home arcade as well!! Going to upgrade to the Omega hard drive soon!! P.s check out my guy " DTHOMASFROMNC" he makes great videos as well
Yea I had seen his channel recently. I noticed he was not uploading as much though. But great content for sure.
@@TheHoff4K yeah I noticed that as well
I just received my Omega upgrade yesterday …gonna be putting it in today , way excited :)
@@bjrmagic1 Nice!! Would love an update on what you think about it
Is this as good as the arcade1up machines?
This way better. The games play the same but you have way more games and options. There is a Facebook group to help as well. Plus you can tell them how you want the layout to be and if you want things added. Arcade Adam on here has a great machine.
Castle crashers?
Yes that is on there and works with the joysticks nicely.
What was the price on this guy
Just under $10,000usd. That Mortal Kombat is called The Chosen One.
@@TheHoff4K I wish I had 10k to throw at something I won't get in 6-8 monfhs
@@MasDouc there are a lot of people who own these and sometimes they have some available that the customer never finished paying. I find when I set goals to buy things like this I work hard to get them. I did the same thing to buy my GTR. I even made a few videos about it.
Now that you have had it awhile, Does it get old? How often do you play?
Never old kids are on it now. I add new PC games every now and then too.
@@TheHoff4K With that said have you heard anything about the N2Fun arcade? Im torn between that and the extreme.
@@drick2659 Personally I would go with EHA because of the bigger screen and you can customize it to what you want. EHA has a 50 and I think now 55" screen as well as an option for stream deck added in plus you can tell them how powerful you want the pc. They can also add in the pinball buttons on the sides and LED graphic on the kick panel. It will all cost more but such a great option. There is a EHA facebook group to also help you out too.
you should have shown it ( pinball ) to us anyway.
i have big box on my tv and i built a arcade stick into my computer desk cheaper
I am sure you can do it a bit cheaper but I do not have the patients to build this and get all that is on it! This whole arcade is amazing and you can get it customized for what you need.
Do you still have the omega drive? I'd like to copy the software to my 16tb hard drive. I'll definitely pay you if you help me out.
To be honest I’d ask Adam Arcade for his. He helped create this with Scantron5k and there’s should have way more on it than mine does as I know Adam adds things to his a lot.
@@TheHoff4K Thanks for the helpful response it is much appreciated.
where can i buy this? what website?
www.extremehomearcades.com/home.aspx
I would get gun4ir guns which is a request. And do not get led joysticks. There is a Facebook group for these machines to help you spec what you want.
Wow thats an ugly cab
The family loves the art work if that is what you mean. It is a bunch of classic game characters which is what they wanted. It is a very popular design they do.
@@TheHoff4Kthat art looks like such a lazy photo shop job no real artistry to it just Random characters placed randomly everywhere.
@@nellen55 well it is what the kids and Wife wanted. As long as they are happy it doesn’t matter to me
