You sound jealous ;) man... Some of you guys litterally sound like "Grumpy old Men"
You guys are all pathetic loosers, that have nothing better else to do.. We're in the 21st century, not stuck in the 80's.. You guys may not like the build.. Which doesn't bother me, but I wanted to turn something old School to something new.  This thing is solid and built like the tankstick... But whatever I say you pathetic loosers will roll your eyes and be negative... So both ways, get a life, stop being haters and screw off!

I like positive criticism, like artwork, speakers... Which I have already corrected, so thank you guys for the positive feedback and the constructive criticism, much appreciated!

Anyways.. You haters should really think before you comment, because you look like a bunch of ass's with no class!

Later haters!! Lol

Looks like an Xarcade stick on a tv stand. Sure, the monitor install looks sort of decent but that is the sort of thing everyone in the community laughs at.

You don't have a viable product there. You aren't adding any value. Your buddies might think you could sell that and they might pretend to be interested. But all of that will fall apart. I have been buying, selling, and building game cabinets cabinets since 2001 (over 300 to date). I have had countless friends and family express interest in them and ultimately not one of them every pulled the trigger on one of them, not even at cost. You can't count on any of those people to follow through, and what you are building there isn't competitive with anything else available in the marketplace.

Not trying to be a jerk, I am just stating the truth before you invest any money in trying to sell those things.

If you actually want to make some money selling game cabinets then you are going to at least have to learn how to integrate your own control panels and wire them up yourself. However even then competition is fierce and margins aren't all that high on anything that has a scratch-built cabinet.

Even if it was legal you don't want to sell them with a premade software setup. At some point down the road it will break and then they will be looking for you to fix it, no matter how long it has been. These days I normally only sell dedicated games, project games or parts. The only way I would sell a multicabinet today is either without a computer or using one of the JAMMA multiboards. The JAMMA multiboards may not be 100 percent legit, but nearly every arcade, pinball and jukebox retailer in America sells the things and you can buy the boards on Amazon. The copyright holders on the games on those things seem to have given up fighting them years ago.

Calling people "haters" is so 90s tech.  I call weaksauce.

Either way, enjoy.

Well the truth struck a nerve there. You must not have many friends. Not sure what kind of accolades you were hoping for by taking a microwave stand and half assing an xarcade into it and thinking you could sell it as a product. But carry on dude.


good day.

You talk like your avatar.. Lol
You replying must have struck a nerve too... No? ;)
I hope many people see these haters and banned their ass's!
People like you are just talk, no brains.. Shoot first then think.. Right?
I'm actually finding this funny, you knock others, but I don't tolerate BS, especially from smucks like you.

I would like to delete this thread, cause I don't want to have any assoication from you haters.

For all you beginners, don't be intimated by these buffoons, I'm not no expert, but msg me if you need any help ;)

 :laugh2: quoted other posts so you can't edit them. Does the slightest negative friction always lead to you turning into a child with the name calling? I await to see what other Brady Bunch insults you can dig up.



good day.
