I think you made it worth while. If only I could see to drive, to get it, or the financial means to have it shipped, I'd buy that cabinet in an heartbeat! Nice solution.
This is the guy right here!!! For all you new comers, unsub to all those arcade 1up schills and follow this dude to get better quality, for a cheaper price with absolutely no lies whatsoever!!!! Can’t buy honesty like that with free a1up junk the way the A1up loyalist do.
Love the build!! Nice, modest and tastefully outfitted. Looks like a dream come true!! Would love to have that in my house. Excellent work my good sir.
great work and cudos for making your own project and not compromise for the arcade1up baby cab. It's mind boggling how expensive that one is for what it provides. I wanted to make a cab project on my own, but settled for a Viewlix imported and i'm just gonna put in a PC and run Fightcade & steam
First of all cool video man.A Couple of years ago I made my own marvel vs Capcom 2 cabinet with a 300 dollar budget it's power by a modded original Xbox it turned out better than I thought
I used to buy and restore cabs years ago and they are easy to get. Nice work. I have an original Neo Geo red cab that I kept when I stopped restoring cabs and I still play it with a CRT screen installed. Definitely a better feel
Man, this inspires me to source a full size cab to rehab. Not sure if any are to be had locally here in MI, but thanks to your recent videos, I'm motivated to find out!
How much would you charge for the side art? My husband has a custom arcade and is looking for some awesome custom artwork and yours would be a perfect Christmas gift for him and make him so happy!
You are a true inspiration. I've been looking to do the same thing. Still have my arcade one up machine. No idea why but looking to build my own. Got really close to getting one from a local flea market that closes down here in Miami but the machine magically disappeared
I know that feeling, I've had a few other machines over the months that were amazing deals slip through my fingers. It's been kind of funny because I've learned there is about 4 other guys in my area doing similar things as me, so we are all somewhat competing against each other for deals in our area when they pop up.
Great job again sir, to think a few years ago I would follow you for your arcade 1up content, and now can watch you grow doing a full arcade machine. I think you should try a chiefs themed arcade machine!
Dope Marquee, inspiring video. I will try to make my own in a year or two, also you got lucky with a cab, the gutted cab goes for 300-400 in good condition here in LA.
Your build is awesome and you’re absolutely right that we could do better for cheaper, but I wonder how much of the A1U cost goes to licensing. We get to avoid that cost when we do our builds, but I think we might be able to exist in some legal grey areas where A1U cannot.
@@cooltoy You’ve given us enough insider info over the years that I’m inclined to believe you without even asking, but out of curiosity, how do you know?
EXCELLENT!!! But you forgot to link to the matte black vinyl for the side panels! This is just as important as the other parts! Thanks so much for sharing this incredible build!
When arcades were still around my local had a cabinet where the art all-over the cab were those x men trading cards that had their stats on the back. It was super neat and never seen it customized in that way before and ever since.
Looks awesome. Great Job! Now you just have to make 42k more to sell to your subs. Honestly though, it goes to show you that Arcade1up has no excuse for the quality:cost ratio that they put out except for greed and poor long-term business vision.
Hey, Cooltoy. I have been enjoying your videos for a few weeks and I am about to buy a cheap MvC1 cab. I want to mod it to play MvC2, but I'm not sure what the best way to go about it is. My goal is to have as little input lag as possible, with as liittle work as possible... I guess the best way would be some type of PI mod. What do you suggest? What hardware and software should I run?
No walkthrough, as it’s just a one off project that isn’t really something easy to replicate unless someone has a specific empty dynamo cabinet sitting around already
I just drilled some Vesa holes into some scrap board I had laying around and then mounted the monitor to the boards with vesa screws, then attached the boards to the inside of the cabinet.
hell yeah akuma's always been one of my favorites since the super turbo days, haha. another sweet DIY arcade mod for sure. maybe someday I might do one find a way to run my atgames legends gamer mini off it if at all possible.
So how do you connect the Super Console X3 Plus Emulator to the external control panel? You should definitely do a walk through video... I am looking to do this... just don't have a clue.
Question on my build I have 2 joy sticks 6 buttons each and 2 start buttons. How do I set up a select button to add credits to the game? Do I need to add a extra button? Or is there away around that?
Looks fantastic! I think the sideart you choose looks great.I also liked seeing some Power Stone being played. An extremely underrated game in my opinion
Capcom games never went into Midway cabinets unless someone did it on purpose. That's just arcade1up using a nice design for all of the newer cabinet. Has nothing to do with what it looked like in the arcades back in the day.
@@TheCodeAlwaysWins It’s big blue and dynamo. The kits sold were meant to fit those types of cabs , not midways . It’s simple logic.

CoolToy, Simply a BEAUTY! Now I'll just keep my fingers crossed that Arcade1up see your parts list, so they can make a part 2 of their 3/4 scale Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 cabinet at less than $400, due to the lighter cabinet shell materials they use... HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

And it still burns me that they're now reserving HAPP quality buttons and sticks for a "Pro" line and charging $1000 when anyone doing a simple google search can see that the price for quality controls like these are SO SMALL. Arcade1up must be paying a penny a stick with the crap they're using. Pitiful. Though I'm not a DIY guy, and I'll never have room for a full sized machine, I can still live vicariously through a CoolToy video :) vgv
that "pro line" is seriously one of the craziest things, I'm still blow away that 500 people bought into that machine when it's clearly not a good value for the money. But if it makes them happy, that's all that matters.
Man you make me look like a chump. My ultracade cab with an old PC has run me about $700 so far and I don't even have light guns yet. It has a perfect condition 27 inch crt though
I saved quite a bit on this build with black friday sales this year, so that certainly helped keep my price down. I also got the monitor as a "used open box" item and it showed up looking brand new. Got lucky there.
My wife is wanting me to sell some machines off. So unfortunately this one may be one that ends up on the chopping block I have several full sized arcade machines and pinball machines, needless to say they take up a lot of room

Looks amazing. I kept my mvc2 cab, but put it into a big blue cab. I probably spent 900 on the 2 cabs plus mods.
Big blue is what A1Up should have used instead of their Midway design. Still amazed they made that decision. Sounds like you fixed that error 👍

Any tips on looking for deals?
I set up arcade sale alerts on Facebook marketplace for a 250 mile radius of me. I watch those alerts like a hawk and it’s been great to me so far.
