I've been watching alot of DIY Arcade cabinet videos. This is by far the greatest I've seen!!! - Definitly a BIG plus for a RGB CRT. That seems like a must, even though an 4:3 IPS would do the job, a real CRT gives that perfect glowy feel when playing. - Awesome control panel. All from button and stick placements to all the functions. And a huge plus for that custom Astro City look. - The whole shape and angles of the cabinet seems to be just about perfect. Getting it done with CNC must be awesome. The whole video, story telling thing, is just perfect. And awesome inspiration for all arcade builders out there. Future projects that could be fun: - An Arcade Cabinet with MiSTer and a CRT + support for original arcade PCB. - Easy swappable controlpanels, with 4-way joystick/8-way alternatives. 3-fire buttons / 6 or 8 fire buttons. Even a control panel with a spinner would be cool. The most challenging idéa: An Arcade with a rotating CRT that lets you play horizontal / vertical. Anyway, thanks for a great video, I did of course sub to your channel, and I even put notification on aswell. Keep up the good work!!
@@RetroBuiltGames im starting a build based off this build. so far i have collected a sega gen. model 2 , finally got the right power cord and av cables and im getting ready to look for a crt tv. (for leathal enforcers and the justifier) should i try to do this rgb or just connect it up regular . im not building the cabinet until i get the crt so i can know dementions . any advise u have would be awsome.
you could program a button push of the start button to pause the game when the credit runs out... if not credit within timer then the system restarts .... that is actually a really clever way to use old arcade games legally in an arcade... just have to not use licensed art lol especially on Nintendo
amazing mate I'm going to attempt one myself I have a few crt TVs that take RGB , such an awesome idea, easier to make a Megadrive version as many SNES games use the shoulder buttons like f zero and contra
@@RetroBuiltGames I already have an RGB modded crt the same size as yours and I have a tank arcade stick that was produced here in Australia that has a 6 button layout so I can just use those internals and make a custom control panel like yours, brilliant idea . The crt definately gives it the authentic feel.
Man I just thought of doing this the other day thinking I’d be the first to do it, someone always beats me to it. Maybe I’ll do a turbografx/genesis combo
yes absolutely. I've been meaning to do this, but tube CRTs are hard to find in my area. I feel like they were ostracized more than TVs when LCDs took over.
@@RetroBuiltGames hmm it's the opposite where I live, lots of offices are now starting to decommission CRT monitors Since these fuckers last forever people had no reason to get rid of them in an office setting. I guess it's good enough for writing documents and whatnot My dad's office for example still has a bunch of printer servers running windows XP with a CRT.
This is great, but, (and sorry if I missed it) since you mentioned that Genesis 2 is "vanilla", does that mean it doesn't have an audio mod installed like a CCAM/Mega Amp/Triple Bypass? Or it's just a later revision that doesn't have the bad sound?
@@RetroBuiltGames I was thinking more a crt unless the lady gives you more freedom Now a reason I think a dreamcast cabinet is such a cool concept is not because a good some of its librarie is Naomi But recently people noticed the atomiswave uses the exact the same hardware as dreamcast meaning most of its games are not only arcade perfect but a Literal conversion to dreamcast ruclips.net/video/yongHJjmtSs/видео.html Additionally there are encoder kits that allow you install any buttons and jokestick and use them on dreamcast. Retro Ralph goes more depth how this works ruclips.net/video/Ye9IPYkxUT8/видео.html Alternatively I've looking for a crt to install into arcade 1up. a couple people did it but nobody in the community knows how it happened. ruclips.net/video/fP5B6Bk9n4k/видео.html
Im kinda skeptical on that last video- CTR in the arcade1up. All the shots are obnoxiously close without panning back to see anything past the bezel. I dont doubt you can do it, but the depth of a modest 13in tube is deeper than most arcade1up machines. Installing one implies it is a clean installation and contained within the body. There are HDMI to composite converters; but, DiWHY.
@@RetroBuiltGames here is one by a different youtuber. ruclips.net/video/s4S1HK9oQ8g/видео.html But to answer your question the LCD screen is shit, it dies within 5-8 months on a good day. With a crt it's more built to last long hours game time. Second the emulation is so arcade perfect on NBA Jam, Outrun, star wars and Golden Axe: revenge of death ather that they be considered an actual cabaret version of the real cabinets rather then a cheap Imitation
This video is better, it looks more authentic. The 'glow' really completes the feel of an arcade machine. I just dont know why no video shows the inside of the cabinet. a 15in tube is deep. I would assume the install is a game of millimeters. CRT is the way to go!

thank you! I'm doing some work with swappable control panels right now.
@@RetroBuiltGamesyou should get frogger sega got a direct arcade port of frogger it’s amazing for a home version
i'm diying in the complexity of that task
i see what you did there
thanks for showing me the idea of using an arduino for the credit setup. i always wanted to turn my other consoles into arcade machines. nice job
Glad I could help!
Absolutely love this! I remember back when you did the rgb mod and arcade stick. Would love to see a demo of games showing the cabinet off.
Noted!

Very very cool!!!!! Love that you picked the Genesis... :)
Outstanding! I love your creativity, and the clear explanation of the project.
Thank you very much!
Epic as always. Thank you for being us along such a great build!
thank you Jon!
Cool looking cab! Looking into kinda scale for my next cab.

Great video mate! Thanks for the info
youre welcome!
Sick arcade build!
thank you!
really cool project, well done
Thank you!
Super cool! Must have taken ages to make, let alone design
indeed! thanks for watching
#1. Excellent this video has the correct amount of razzle
#2. There was excessive dazzle but I'm not mad about it
#3. I vote N64
Almost skipped this as another lcd mini arcade but then saw the crt and dove in. RGB modded no less too!
thank you for stopping by!
I had the same exact idea and wanted to see if someone did it, guess they did!
amazing mate I'm going to attempt one myself I have a few crt TVs that take RGB , such an awesome idea, easier to make a Megadrive version as many SNES games use the shoulder buttons like f zero and contra
if you make the SNES version, please show us!

That is what I've been looking for ❤
have a look around, stay a while.
Hey everyone, please subscribe and share if you like this video.
Nice! You should've made a six button layout.
That would be cool!
I'm going to build one exactly like this one..oh wait I'm not mighty Ryan I'm just a Padawan!
Motivating
Just WOW !!!
Awesome
thank you!
Man I just thought of doing this the other day thinking I’d be the first to do it, someone always beats me to it. Maybe I’ll do a turbografx/genesis combo
turbo grafx + turbo duo would be excellent
Imagine if it's the style of The SEGA Astro City Candy Cabinet?
that was a lot more wood and doesnt transport well in my vehicle, so choices were made.
the knowledge i wish i had........
you can learn!
Dope
I'd love to see someone do this but with a VGA CRT monitor
You should be able to get the crisp inage without messing around inside a crt right?
yes absolutely. I've been meaning to do this, but tube CRTs are hard to find in my area. I feel like they were ostracized more than TVs when LCDs took over.

BROOOO!! You wanna help me with my control panel? This is sick!
ive got a 20inch crt with scart (uk had rgb scart as standard!) and i need to get me something like this for my mega drive
jealous of your native 20in scart TV
This is great, but, (and sorry if I missed it) since you mentioned that Genesis 2 is "vanilla", does that mean it doesn't have an audio mod installed like a CCAM/Mega Amp/Triple Bypass? Or it's just a later revision that doesn't have the bad sound?
no audio mod- later version that doesn't have bad sound.
Can you do a two player version, possibly with a dreamcast
Yes. CRT or LCD for Dreamcast?

Awesome job man! Your PCB boards on Tindie, are you shipping overseas yet or only in the US still? Would love to grab some stuff
yes, shipping overseas again!
Quick question, does the rbg signal injection introduce any delay whatsoever?
no delay.
Super cool build, perfect for a smaller man cave. Did you ever produce the plans?
almost. building 3 right now and will release files along with an updated video
@@RetroBuiltGames nice, looking forward to the new video
Buenas rían de donde puedo conseguir los planos de la maquina
you can purchase them from me. email me for details.
nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Shoulda done the six button deal haha
right
@@RetroBuiltGames looks super cool tho
appreciate it!
🤔nice
i appreciate it
can you put the plans up for us to copy please...pretty please
sure
No 6-button arcade stick?
that is a future project. I need to get a 6 button controller to make a schematic first.
@@RetroBuiltGames Retro-Bit sells them on their website and on Amazon.
actually looking for an original one, with the IC exposed.
@@RetroBuiltGames Why is an IC so important?
Unmotherfuckingbelievable!!!
lol thank you
Also what ifyour first name was master.
first time hearing this
@@RetroBuiltGames hahahha, I got to many sibling to not make that joke.!
Hi Ryan! I would really love to build this at home!! Is there any way I could reach out to you on instant messaging like Discord, Skype or telegram?
Hi! my business email can be found if you follow the "about" section in this channel.
