A very, very slow growing and underrated channel. This channel deserves more attention. Your videos are helpful (the tutorial videos) and entertaining to watch
Thank you! That means a lot to me
Great job you should be proud with many hours of nostalgic fun to come.
It's been a great time so far! Can't wait to start working with gun games next
Dude I LOVE this! So awesome! The Soda can theme is so freaking cool haha. I met you after your first video on the Arcade machine. It's so nice to see it come to fruition. I'm very impressed with your work on this. The paint came out well. It looks awesome! I thought the Pokémon splash screen looked really good. I wanted to see some more gameplay of Pokémon haha. but I am biased of course! I love Pokémon. Maybe one day, I can be the one to get you a spare PC for better graphics haha. That would be something wouldn't it. Great video bro! I love the story and narration over it. I can't wait to see what you do next.
This is the kindest comment I've ever gotten lol I appreciate you
Also I hope to be able to just give you an arcade machine one day! Haha
@@BelowAverageGaming Haha that would be awesome too!
Awesome! I want to build my own
I just purchased this kit from LP1. I’m very excited for it to arrive. The videos from your build are great and I’ll be using them for reference. Did you ever experiment with adding a light gun?
I did! I just haven't made a video on it yet
this is really cool! Did you do any soldering and I hope you make more raspberry pi/retro pie related console builds!
No soldering
I missed the 1st and 2nd part so I will look at them now. Looks like a cool cabinet though. I keep saying I'm going to build me some bartops but still haven't got around to it 😆. I want a cabinet for each console so the button layout matches the console. It dorsnt make since to a lot of people but it does to me 😆. Then I can just jump from cabinet to cabinet depending on what i want to play and it also allows others to play different cabinets at the same time.
Haha you're gonna need a lot of room for all those cabinets
Do you feel the need to put any fans on the cabinet for cooling. I am almost doing the exact same build and wasn’t sure if it was necessary. Also did you think about plexi over the screen or are you happy with the monitor the way it is. Looks awesome btw. Hope mine turns out that nice
Nope the pi by itself is pretty cool so no need for extra cooling, I've left it on for over a day with no issues.
Plexi over the screen wasn't needed in my case but I think that's strictly a preference
Do u have the link for that all black arcade cabinet from Etsy
Will you ever make a video about the light guns ?
I plan on it!
Dumb question incoming. Since you applied the artwork to the sides was the painting the sides unnecessary?
Also, could you have cut a bezel to size and then used Velcro to attach it to the monitor?
Great video.
The painting was totally a necessary, I think I mentioned that in the video. My original idea was to paint it blue and just leave it like that and then I decided it was too bland after I did it and then that's when I decided to do artwork
I will say though making the sides nice and smooth will benefit the adhesion of the artwork anyways
I'm not sure how that would work about the bezel, but I'm definitely sure if you can think it, you can do it.
Do by chance have a link to that plastic arcade cabinet you showed at the end? I searched etsy but couldn't find it.

@3:57 Painters tape is your friend
What did you use for a monitor? Is it just an insignia TV?
Yep, just a 32-in TV because it was a good price
I have a video with the part list if you're interested

What hardware and software would you use if you wanted to do games like street fighter, mortal kombat, etc? (you mentioned the Raspberry Pi woudln't be ideal) Thanks!
A strong PC or console honestly
@@BelowAverageGaming thanks. Any advice on what software to use? Would love something that automatically boots into the multicade when turned on.
I personally love Street fighter, I've been a big street fighter 4 fan since it was released. Since the connection is really two USB ports and an HDMI, I will plug a slightly older PC. I have lying around into the arcade machine and just run the fighting games off of steam (mortal Kombat x, Street fighter, King of fighters and so on)
To my knowledge, there's not really a software that looks like the retro pi for more modern looking games, usually it's just for the " retro games"
But if you're looking for less graphically intense games, like Street fighter 3 and down, a raspberry pi 4 or 5 would be sufficient
@@BelowAverageGaming Yes- Street fighter 3 range is what I'm looking for! Better than atari, but not as good as a current system. Basically looking for graphics up through playstation 2.
Did you update with P5..because it's at least 3x more powerful than p4?
Nah, the pi 4 does everything I need it to do, even down to running dragon's lair.
Retro pie doesn’t have an image for P5 yet but I heard they are working on one but there are issues
What are dimensions of the marquee? Thanks in advance
4.75 hight and 30 inch width
Can you do homebrew switch videos please 🙏🏻
I've been thinking about it 🤔
Love to make this if pi's were ever in stock 😭
I just bought a pi 3 yesterday? Lol Amazon
@@BelowAverageGaming Yeah for triple the price of msrp
I guess, $100 isn't that bad
What were the dimensions on the maerquee? Thanks!
4.75 hight and 30 inch width
Thank you! Painting mine now :D @@BelowAverageGaming
Possible to get those dimensions of the cabinet?! :D
Screenshot of the dimensions at 5:30
I was hoping to get the image but I went ahead and just did two screenshots and cropped them together. @@BelowAverageGaming
Everywhere I've looked, I've heard not-so-great things about the Lep1 guy. Even if the product is okay, I wanna shop elsewhere to not support that kind of behavior.
I wish I had watched this full video before making the purchases I did, oops! Oh well
I still love my cabinet and am proud of how it turned out! I'm sure you will be too
@@BelowAverageGaming Same! But let's just say I wish I had heard about reputations before hand, as I'm sure some of us (not saying me...not NOT saying me, though...) may have found out first hand difficulties.
I appreciate the vids, though, helps me figure out how I want to do mine!
First.
Haha you never let me down!
@@BelowAverageGaming I always try to be here!
Not gluing your cabinet wasn't a great move. But great build none the less..
The cabinet is glued lol I just reinforced it with a nail gun because I didn't trust the glue
@@BelowAverageGaming oh okay. My bad.
