Is this ... ? Isn't that ... ??? What is this I don't even.

The issue isn't the craftsmanship, its the execution of the idea. That four player machine needs FAA clearance to be delivered.

DaOld Man:
Kinda looks like cheap cabinets you can buy at Walmart, painted and modified to fit the CP and Monitor.
Now why didn't I think of that?
Actually I did, but I figured it would look like horse droppings. Was I right?

Did you see the double X arcade one?

 :lol

Yeah, that one is pretty bad, but it almost had to be a customer request.

Personally, I think it looks like something that would sell well for $300-$350 flatpacked and assembled like ikea furniture.
Tons of people have asked for that.

I think the biggest shortcomings are these:

He's using the USB connector instead of PS2 on the x-arcade which means that there is a limit of 6 simultaneous inputs including directions.  I'm sure this is the case since he says a USB keyboard is included and the x-arcade requires a PS2 keyboard to be plugged in for the PS2 output to work.  If it had a PS2 keyboard connected, he wouldn't be including a wired USB one.

He's using Maximus Arcade - front end of noobs.

These two things make me think that he's someone who doesn't really know much about this stuff, but got their own rig running with an x-arcade and thought "Hey, I could make money off this!"

I have a friend who had that reaction to my first setup.  He thought we would throw a cheap computer in every old cab we could get our hands on and put it up on ebay "with thousands of games included!"  It took a while for it to sink in that it would be like selling a jukebox with thousands of bootleg songs downloaded off the internet.
