Great to see this machine up and running in your home. We are excited to introduce this new type of All-In-One Cabinet as a great alternative to the Colossally Popular MegaCade and MegaCade XL. All the same great features of these MegaCades but you can use your own HDTV (any brand, any size from 40" to over 80") with adjustable Mount Built Right IN - SWEET!
Yo DThomas!!! Awesome and thorough review! The ultimate pedestal looks cool, but that Omega X software is where it’s at!!! I really like the design you chose for your unit! The chaos emeralds are a great touch! This looks like a good product from EHA. I don’t care what anyone says… I would not have my hard drives next to the subwoofer though… but, if it is not giving you trouble… cool. You’re one of my favorite RUclipsrs!!! Keep up the great work and enjoy that machine! 🐺
Thanks bro! The build of the Pedestal is really nice. Definitely a great step from my Megacade. A lot of folks feel a certain way about the hard drives being next to the sub woofers. Terrible idea or genius idea? 🤷🏽♂️ Time will tell tho. Also, that Omega X is slammed with games. More than I will ever play in a lifetime. Thanks for sliding thru bro!
I totally thought that was the same delivery guy, but then I was like...no way. Then five seconds later, you said it was the same guy! Man, you're going to need a new house. You're going to run out of room lol!
I still enjoy my megacade it takes up so much room I don't know how you have room for all your machines you certainly must be running out of space xD I'd like another machine but I don't know maybe feels a bit redundant since it'd have the same games and just take up space but they are so cool a sonic themed one would be awesome!
Cool you still enjoy your machine. I'm definitely running out of space. Well, pretty much tap'd out on space. This Ultimate Pedestal doesn't take up as much space as the Megacade. But I totally get what you mean about the machines being redundant.
This Pedestal System is My Favorite!!!! Wish I had that Mad Money to get one. Seriously,great Buy D Thomas,wish ScanTron Do Live Streams again,I miss em.
I wonder who got there Pedestal first Scantron or you?😄Might consider this pedestal for 2 players and the option to turn the screen vertical for “Pinball”/“Shoot em up” and some “Arcade games”.Artwork with Sonic like to have that with “Jim carrey”being Dr,Eggman/Dr.Robotnik.Thanks for sharing after seeing “Scantron”and your pedestal I think I prefer the Launchbox”/“Bigbox” build.
That's awesome to hear. I like the idea of turning your screen vertical for pinball & shoot'em games. I've seen someone do that before and it's pretty dope. I also like the idea of your design. Let me know if you end up pulling the trigger on one of these. If you do, where it ask "How'd you hear about us" be sure to select "DThomas" or "Scantron" (whichever you prefer).😊
@@dthomasfromnc Making that room...lol..Awesome! you go bro!! Myself.. I'm torn between 2 linked racing cabinets and a motion sim!! But whatever you get we all know it's going to be amazing. You always pick the best of the best!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man, I can see how you're stuck on that decision. I like the idea of two racing cans side by side. But a motion sim sounds cool as well. Ughhhh, decisions decisions. 😂 And yeah, I always aim to get the best of the best.
I've been waiting for someone to do a review on the pedestal. I will see small videos from their RUclips channel. One minute videos. I'm definitely gonna get one. Got a quick question after customizing your cabinet. How much did it come up to? I'm just curious.
@dthomasfromnc Okay, okay. I was close. I was thinking around $10000. That was my max. Extra $1000 won't hurt. Thanks, bro. I've been following your channel since you bought your first cabinet.
@siblingrivalrywithtonyaand6939 you were definitely close, bro. 😂 I appreciate you rocking with me all this time. Also, whenever you do make your purchase, on the order form, be sure to select "DThomas" and they'll throw in the expansion C drive for you @ no additional cost. What design would you go with?
Ciao @DThomasFromNC , aesthetically it's very gorgeous , having taken a look at the technical requirements, and I'm surprised that it can't emulate the 8th generation (PS4 and XBox One), in any case this Ultimate Pedestal it's really dope 🤩🤩🤩, congratulations 4 Ur purchase 😁😊many greets👋👋👋from Italy , CIAOOOOO ^_^
I can see pros and cons for this type of setup. The best pro is you can use a bigger screen vs. the enclosure that fits only 50" on the megacade. The con is that you lose that arcade feel w/o the enclosure and marquee above the screen. I think I'd still go for this for the bigger real estate. I'd love to play arcade games on a 80" TV. Which do you like better D? I know you have that portable 2 player joystick arcade but it doesn't allow 4 players. In a perfect world you could have all 3 (portable for traveling, megacade for gaming room and this one for the living room under a wall mounted 83" LG G4.
When it comes to the Pedestal & the Megacade, I'd rather take the Ultimate Pedestal over the Megacade. The portable Shar-kade does ally 4-player gameplay, it's just two people will be on the joysticks & buttons, and the others will be on wired controllers.
Depends on what you're looking for. If you don't care to have the full arcade "look" and want to save a space for your setup, then the Ultimate Pedestal would be your best option. If you want a premium, innovative, & quality build that nobody else in the segment has anything like what they offer currently, then the Retro-Cade would be the one to go for without a doubt. And lastly, if you prefer an arcade from a company who's been in the game a long time (10+ years) with a large community, & great customer service, then the Megacade would be your best choice. They all provide something for everyone. Think about it like this, I love the Bentley Continental GT. But another person may prefer the Mercedes Maybach, while another may prefer a BMW 8 Series. They're all great cars, but everyone has different taste. I mean, do you want Nike's, Adidas, or Jordan's? See what I'm saying? You'd just have to pick the best one for you and the setup you're looking for. Hope this helps. 😁
Hi D, love your channel, I subbed. Question, which experience would you prefer for that nostalgia effect? I like the pedestal but I also saw your retrocade review and that was fire also… Unsure how to make my decision
What up! First off, thanks for the sub. I really appreciate that. Hope you enjoy the content on the channel with more to come. As for which experience gives me that nostalgic effect; I'll put it to you like this... The Retro-Cade is a full fledge 4-player unit with 50-inch tv. So, from the looks out the gate, you're getting that arcade look & feel in your home by having a full cab. Not to mention, it's a premium build with tons of games running hyperspin front-end. Then, on the other hand, you have the 4-Player Ultimate Pedestal, which is also loaded with a ton of games (running BigBox fromt-end) and is a premium build. With the Ultimate Pedestal, you don't get the "arcade" look persay as it doesn't have the look of a traditional arcade. But that won't alter your gaming experience as you still have the joysticks & buttons. So you're still getting that arcade feel when gaming. Also, the Pedestal takes up less space as a whole. But keep in mind you'd have to get your own TV or you could connect it to come that's already in your home. Both of these machines are both power houses in their own right. So, how does one choose? If want the look of a arcade machine at home, like hyperspin front-end, quality build, I'd say go with the Retro-Cade. If you prefer something that doesn't take up as much space, prefer BigBox front-end, and like the desgin without having the traditional "arcade" machine look, then I'd say go with the Ultimate Pedestal. You can't go wrong either way as you'll have fun playing with. But things to consider when making a decision would be the price (for the type of build you're considering), your budget (on how much you kntend to spend), what you have room for in your home/apartment, & what appeals to you overall. Both machines are quality for sure. Hopefully this helps you out some. If you have any more questions, just let me know.😊
Dude that's sick also assuming your from NC I am as well which is sick! Keep up the awesome content man just found your channel. I'm trying to buy that thing. The sonic with the chaos emeralds is so sick.
The only thing would remove is the Hadouken/Yoga Fire etc. when choosing a game. I can see that at first it’s cool but would get pretty annoying. Thanks for the vid 👍
Nice machine, but I'm done with Extreme Home Arcades with their lack of quality and them standing behind their products when things go wrong. I wish you would have purchased a nice Japanese Candy Cabinet like a Taito Vewlix or the upcoming Unico Nova Blast machine. Those machines will give you more bang for the buck, plus they look cooler IMO.

So the pedestal will be now known as the all in one or will there be a new series?
You did it again my guy!!! You are on the MT Rushmore of arcades!
Finally join the pedestal gang 😎. The ease of setup and moving it around the house was definitely a bonus
What size TV do you have with yours?
They really do quality work. You've been blessed with that one bro. Most definitely.
I know this is supposed to be about the arcade but, I have garage envy!

Glad you enjoyed it...thank you!
I totally thought that was the same delivery guy, but then I was like...no way. Then five seconds later, you said it was the same guy! Man, you're going to need a new house. You're going to run out of room lol!
😂😂😂Yep, same guy. I'm officially tap'd out on space, though. Getting a bigger home just means more arcade machines.
