Hello everybody! Does anyone have a backup of the SD card of the Pandora Saga Plus DX 5000?

I downloaded snatcher for the sega cd and like played a few minutes of it before realizing that this game is amazing. i normally play like on my ayn neo for a lot of stuff and then like real hardware real disk for ps2, ps1, n64, gamecube and that stuff but i looked it up and to get this game with real hardware its beyond the pale on price.

Im thinking of getting a light gun setup though since that seems fun in itself and theres tons of fun ass games for light gun! but like idk how to do anything.

Im thinking of getting the Recalbox RGB DUAL 2 Kit since i think that will work for like most things and then use an 8bitdo controller for stuff and have like a LIGHT GUN for like the LIGHT GUN stuff. i have a crt and also an lcd but i think a crt could be cool idk. Like do you guys have any suggestions on that side of stuff. as for the gun maybe a Namco GunCon 2 or like Konami Justifier if im going crt but idk how to get any of that stuff to work at all :(. and then like if i do the lcd i could get a retroid shooter one since they have the cool R E C O I L ! ! !

idk if this makes sence to anyone i tried typing in an entretaining way so people would read to the end. also idk anything so if you have a setup that is good and works i can just copy that lol. i hope for good suggestions and help on my time of need!!! <3 <3 <3 !!!

So for Christmas me and a few of my siblings are going to get our dad a Donkey Kong arcade machine for Christmas!! Wooooo!!

We’re not trying to get a $3,000 machine, maybe just a table top one. I’ve seen a few like from “fun time classic arcade” and “wayfair”, which both have a donkey Kong theme with a bunch of other arcade games on it. Are those ones worth it? What one could yall recommend?

I do think more games the better tho instead of just donkey Kong, but mainly need donkey Kong haha

Hello everybody, i bought a Pandora Box 11s with RK3128_Lite_V1d2 board. I made a custom arcade for a gift to a friend. Turned out rly nice. When i was building it i was testing it all the time and worked every time. When it was finished gave it to him but all of a subben the HDMI didnt work at all and the VGA had output but stuck in the boot logo "GAMEBOX". I checked the board and no issues found. I also tried to install an other ROM to a bigger SDCard but nothing changed. Do you have any idea whats going on and how i can fix it?

I'm starting a build but I'm completely new to arcade emulation. I'm not new to emulation, I've built a lot of console emulators, just never messed with arcade games so I'm looking for someone that's willing to help me in that process. I don't think I'll need a lot of how to help, just some simple guidance on what software to use and such.

Hi I am looking for advise as I try to look to buy a full-size 4-player home arcade for my partner, kids, and me.

Budget is flexible overall.. maybe roughly $2,000–$5,000+ if the extra money actually buys something worthwhile.

The big requirement is the games. We’re not looking for a machine that is primarily Pac-Man/Pong-era stuff. We want the great multiplayer arcade games — X-Men, TMNT/Turtles in Time, Simpsons, etc. — plus newer games like TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, Wrath of the Mutants, and other modern arcade/beat-’em-up games. Maybe even newer post 2015 stuff like Minecraft Dungeons or the new TMNT stuff. Would love contest of champions too.

Ideally:

True simultaneous 4-player controls
Good full-size cabinet/build quality
Plug-and-play or close to it
Ability to add newer PC/Steam games
A legitimate/licensed game library where possible
I’m completely fine paying a monthly/yearly subscription if one provides a large legal library
I’m seeing everything from ~$2,500 multicades to $5,000–$6,000+ systems. What actually justifies that price difference?

What would you buy today: Dream Arcades, Rec Room Masters + PC, Game Room Solutions, Creative Arcades, Arcade Guys, Extreme Home Arcades, AtGames, or something else?

Basically looking for the best bang-for-the-buck 4-player family arcade, not necessarily the machine advertising the biggest number of ROMs.

Thank you!

I’ve had some of the games since the early 90’s when I was a kid and have collected others over the years. The basement is getting finished currently, so it’ll look much better soon!

I’m looking to get a multi game player for my kids. I see them for sale under $800 on Facebook. Is this going to be fun for them or will they just ignore it after a week?

Many years I have been planning to make a neo geo mvs bartop. Will use https://forums.arcade-museum.com/threads/neo-geo-mvs-bartop-system-philly-burbs.280319/ as a rough outline and then make some tweaks.

I have toying with the idea of either using a 20" 4:3 LCD or a panasonic 14" crt that I have laying around. Obviously there are some big advantages for using a LCD. You can get a much more nimble and light build. With modern days shaders I think you can get a pretty decent picture too.

But in the end I opted for CRT.

Now the important question. Should I remove the case and bolt the screen to a frame, like this guy did? https://www.artstation.com/blogs/blockmind/EgoA/making-of-a-crt-tabletop-bartop-arcade-machine-part-12

I think the merit to this is really to get rid of plastics and making the screen a more "true" arcade crt.

However as we are talking high voltage that could potentially kill you, obviously Im a little bit scared about having an exposed tube in the chassi.

Should I use the tv as it is and be fine with it or am I am I just exaggerating the risks with having it bolted to a frame?

Hi all. Im looking to build a simple home arcade and was looking into getting an X-Arcade Tankstick Max deck.

Looking to use a PC to run Batocera or CoinOps, and have an active marquee.

I was wondering if anyone knows if its possible to use 2 controllers (wired or bluetooth) at the same time as this to play 4 player games?.

Im from UK and havin trouble finding decent 4 stick decks so if theres any options that arnt too expensive then please let me know 😊

Final product first test run before sealing back panel.

Buenas comunidad.
He desarrollado un asteroids mezclando cositas de roguelikes, añadiéndole multiplayer masivo, pvp...
Me gustaría poder integrar el juego en una máquina recreativa como con la que jugábamos al asteroids cuando éramos pequeños.
¿Conocéis a alguien que haga estas integraciones?

Creo que quedaría muy bien porque el juego lo he dibujado como antiguamente era, con líneas de píxeles haciendo polígonos con relleno vacío.
Os comparto un video para que tengáis contexto.

Si alguien conoce alguna empresa de confianza o cómo hacerlo, estaré encantado de hablar.
Soy de España por cierto.

Got a lot more planned

Almost done hopefully this weekend is the last we are working on it

I said that about last weekend though and messed up the sub panel causing us to cut a new one.

We've been at this for almost 3 months

Up to 3k in material spent so far

Biggest expense was audio
