Finally, the beast has come back to YouTube. all right guys the time has come we are finally going to do part two of the beast now let me give you a little overview of what this thing is this is a game room solutions this is their four player build with a 32 inch monitor. It has a four player control panel as you can see here. Some of the unique features of it is that it has a dedicated controller right here in the middle. This is for your old school games like a Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, things that require four-way sticks. All the sticks on here are HAP competition sticks. They're also all running HAP buttons and Cherry micro switches. To me those are the best of the best. You know the HAP competition sticks are fairly affordable. the Cherry Micro switches are the best you can get. So I'm going to raise the top a little bit so you can see all of the wiring and work that had to go into making this possible. All right, now that we've popped the hood, you can take a look real quick. You've got your trackball right here in the middle. It also has a spinner. This is actually Glenn's Retro Show Spinner. It was a little bit smaller than, or it was a little larger hole than normal so I actually had to drill this out. This was already pre-drilled for a spinner. I think it was the Ultimark one. So Glenn, good job. It's a cool spinner. Works great. So we got our track ball. This isn't a HAP track ball. It's sort of a HAP clone but still works really good. It's got an LED light that changes as it's sitting there. All of the micro switches, like I said, they're all Cherry micro switches. The controls are all HAP competition sticks except for the one controller right here which is a Sanwa with a four-way gate on it. Everything else is eight ways as far as the joysticks go. You will notice inside there's two Xbox 360 controllers. These are here for if you wanted standing your other player three and player four and not on the control panel you could do that but it's also here for games that don't really map well to arcade controls. So ones that require an analog stick and things like that. Those just aren't going to map to these kind of sticks. It's just how it is. So there are limits to multi-cades, guys. I want to make that clear because I feel like with the new at-game system out there, people are getting all excited about all these modern games. Modern games will give you issues because of the fact that you need the analog stick. You only have a single joystick here, so those games are going to play better with traditional controls. So that's why these are in here. And you'll notice they're all wireless. So I have this Xbox 360 wireless receiver here. This actually is here so that it accepts those controls. And actually, the whole entire cabinet can be driven from these too. I'll get to that later. The amp is tucked in here. I have the amp right here. You can adjust the volume as needed. I don't adjust it too much, so I just lift the top and adjust it if I need to. And then I also have a keyboard in here. So if there's any modifications or any kind of tuning or tweaking I need to do to it, I have the keyboard right here because after all it is running a PC. So if I do need to dive down into, you know, command line or anything like that, I have the ability to do that. You will notice that the encoder board on here is an IPAC 4. This does not come with a wire harness, guys. So all of the wiring John Youssi here, I had to do manually. It took a long time, but it was totally worth it and a really fun project. But these aren't faint of heart projects. So if this is something you want to do, you have to be aware that it's going to take some time, but it's going to be worth the payout in the end if this is exactly what you want to achieve. Sort of one of those cabinets within your game room or man cave or arcade that really has the bulk of the games you want to play. And then maybe you have some dedicated cabs for machines that you think are worthy of that, you know, dedicated cab system, or if you're into arcade one-ups and things like that. But this is going to do and handle a plethora of the stuff that you want. Basically, almost all of it. And obviously it doesn't have a steering wheel and things like that. It doesn't have guns, although I could have put guns on it. I just feel like trying to get one cab to do too many things, you're going to find the limitations. So I kind of view it as like, this is your multi-cade. You may have a gun cab and a driving cab. I feel like those should be separate. That's just me. You know, I just think that's how it should be done. So anyways, it's a little bit of a purist view, but you'll have a better experience. Trust me. There is no one cabinet that does everything. Sure. I could mount the steering wheel on it, probably look ridiculous, but it would work. So anyways, that's up to you. Now, closing this thing up real quick, I'll give you the lay of the land of the front. You've got player one, player two, player three, player four. It's all labeled across the front. This control panel is fairly heavy, obviously, because it has all this stuff in it, and it's made with this nice half-inch wood, so everything is very, very stable. This actually can be moved because I have it on a wood floor, but if you had it on carpet, you're probably going to need some help moving it. So anyways, let's get into the interface now and if you want an overview of the other components you can go check out the first video but this one we're gonna dive into some gameplay and the main interface right now. Alright guys so we are in front of the cab and I just want to be able to somewhat articulate the versatility of a cabinet like this. So when you first log in this is a hyperspin build again I told you it was from a company called Arcade One Carlos over there is awesome probably some of the best hyperspin builds I've ever seen. So it would be really hard for me to show you every single system that's here, you could go to his website to find that out, but you've got Neo Geo, Neo Geo CD, you've got Sega Saturn, you've got Naomi, Sega Genesis, Dreamcast, 32X, a plethora of consoles, but tons and tons and tons of arcade systems as well So the list just goes on and on and on and on You got Atari Jaguar you got Atari it even has some really cool vintage commercials for different arcade systems It got magazines as jukebox functionality. It's got an arcade music trivia challenge. I mean, it has Windows-based games, which actually have Street Fighter 4, 5, and others, Mortal Kombat 10. So there's just so many. There's Atomos Wave, which is a system I'm really, you know, a big fan of. As a matter of fact, we'll start with one of my favorite Atomos Wave systems, or not systems, sorry, but games, which is actually called Demolish Fist. So we'll find it on the list here. Now, that is one of the things that is tough about a multi-cade. That is the negative, is that there's so many games that sometimes it's hard to find the one that you want. So I went into this video knowing exactly what I wanted to do. So let's launch a demolished fish. Fish. Demolished fish. Yeah, sometimes I can't speak, apparently. So I'm going to put the volume up on us really quick so we actually can hear what's going on. So Atomos Waves, a really neat system. It was cartridge-based, kind of similar to Neo Geo. Actually, SNK made, I want to say, five or six titles for this after they retired the Neo Geo. But alright, we're gonna press start on this guy. We're gonna get right into it Demolish Fist has this really cool Gameplay system called vertigo where the character goes crazy and is really powerful. It kind of reminds me of Neo in the matrix If you've never played this game before I suggest checking it out, especially if you're a fan of side-scrolling beat-em-ups It's kind of just got a really like larger-than-life kind of feel to it Most of the things in the environment are, you're able to interact with. Like you can pick up bricks and such like that and throw them at people. See, I'm going to throw it at a fool right now. Oh, sorry! You can pick up boxes, throw boxes at people, miss them, but you can do a special move. You hit all three buttons, he does sort of like a spin kick. Just really a really fun overall side-scrolling beat-em-up type game. type games. So if you've never played it, I've streamed it on the channel, I think several times, but super, super fun. And you know, a game that's included, you know, in this build. So it's definitely a fun one to play on a system like this. And if you have another friend, they can be right here beside you playing along with you. So I'm going to move on to a more modern game, although this one's not that old. So I'm going to hit escape, get us back to the main menu. And I'm also, and now I'm going to show you the search function real quick. So I'm going to hit search and I'm gonna type in Street Fighter my type of Street Fighter 4 I'll just type in Street Fighter so st are eet the search functionality is a much needed functionality when you have a system with this many games this is something I've struggled with on retro pies for a long time because a lot of of them don't have search functionalities and without something like this it becomes really hard to find the game you're looking for and oftentimes what you'll end up with is you'll sit in front of your cabinet and you actually won't ever decide what to play or you'll spend so much time in front of that cabinet trying to figure out what you play that you become discouraged you don't play at all so that is one of those things if you decide to go down the multi-cade path you could fall into that trap so just be aware that sometimes having more options is not always better All right, let's get right into Street Fighter 4. I love the way Street Fighter 4 plays with hap controls, especially these competition sticks. It plays how I remember it. Freaking awesome. And Street Fighter 4 is just freaking badass. But it plays awesome on this machine. So let's go right into it. Ooh, here we go. Oh yeah, it will. let's do it that's right here baby Oh nice All right. She's done. Okay, we've got to beat her again, though. One is not good enough. We've got to at least do... We've got to at least beat her. We've got to get past her. Come on. We got this. I like to go just... I like to be forceful on my opponent. I just go walk right into him. Oh, man. Okay, so. Love playing this game on here. The sticks feel awesome. The buttons feel awesome. I love it. And playing two people, you have plenty of room on a cab like this just because of the sheer size. So we're going to move on to another game. I'm going to go more old school, and I'm going to show you the old controls that are in there. Not the old controls, but you know what I'm saying, the ones that are more geared toward the old school retro games. Okay, here we go. We're going to put some coins in. Alright, press left start for Ms. Pac-Man or right start for Galaga. We're going to do Ms. Pac-Man. So like I said, we're going to use these controls right here because I have these set up with a four-way stick. So it's much easier to navigate games like this. But as you can see, it's got the cool little side bezels on there, so all the side bezel project stuff has already been downloaded to this, so you don't have to go and search for all that. And believe me if you ever done that before it takes a really long time and to do that with this many games that a really long project that you probably not going to want to take on Unless you know exactly what games you want to play. So anyways, you can see easily you can control these older style games. And with the right look and feel, I could have put the official stick in here. but I just thought Sanwa with a four-way was just as good as anything to get the job done. Someone that's a true purist of Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man may feel differently. But anyways, that's Ms. Pac-Man, so we're going to go back to another modern game. So let me break back into the menu. Okay, if you've never played Pac-Man Championship Edition DX, you're missing out because it's a super fun game. So take a look at this with me real quick. I actually had this game running on a system before where I was using a bass shaker because there's so much bass in this game because it almost has like a club soundtrack, like a dance club soundtrack. It's super, super fun. My kids actually really like this game too. All right, let's go. The speed is really quick in this game too, but you've got to really be on it. I'm playing it normal, but what happens is some of the ghosts will be sleeping and they'll wake up as soon as you pass them. You will get bombs too, so bombs will allow you to kind of get by someone that just woke up. So check this out so I can like bump them out of the way. So if I do pass someone that wakes up, I'll show you. I can kind of bump them. So that'll kind of help you. You only have so many of those, so you've got to be careful. Yeah, it's got like a really cool soundtrack. It's super fun to play. You just got to check it out if you haven't checked it out before. But it is a game that you could run on, you know, actually the new AtGames cab, you could run this game on it. But I just wanted to show this game because it's just so much fun. And it's one of the ones that out of all the games on this cab, my kids really enjoy playing. Okay, guys, so Killer Instinct is one of those games that comes up all the time. I can't tell you how many people on my channel said, can I run Killer Instinct on Pi? Can I run Killer Instinct on this or that? It comes up all the time. Well, this system runs Killer Instinct really well, obviously. It's got Killer Instinct 1. It's got Killer Instinct 2 on it. It also has all the other versions of the game. It's got the Nintendo 64 version, which, of course doesn't get people as excited. It also has the newer 2013 version of Killer Instinct as well. So with that said, I am actually not a huge, it's not that I wasn't a huge fan, I just played Street Fighter like crazy. For some reason, Killer Instinct really wasn't my game. So pardon my gameplay, but I will show you that it plays amazingly well on this system. I'm strictly button mashing so just keep that in mind. Don't expect a whole lot. I just wanted you to see that it plays. If I actually win one round I'm going to call it good because I'm terrible at this game. Twigging it, twigging it, twigging it. You know I love you buddy. Okay, maybe there's hope for me. Nope, nope, nope. Nope. No hope, no hope. And I'm almost dead. Okay. And I'm dead. Alright, what about Killer Instinct 2? Yeah, game over. Shut up. Alright. Let's do Killer Instinct 2. Maybe I'll have better luck on 2. button mash myself away. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, no. Baby. Alright, guys. I somehow found a way to squeak out a win, but it was super cheap. So, let's just cut to the chase. I was able to play one and two perfectly on this cabinet, as I already knew that, but I wanted to show you guys. So, we're going to cut right to the remake of Killer Instinct, and we'll see. Maybe I'll fare a little better. I mean, am I getting better at Killer Instinct? Do I just completely suck I don't know I guess we'll find out in a second but believe it or not I do actually win here I don't know how but I did so that's kind of cool I guess but it was really cheap I mean really cheap see supreme victory all right now let's go to get the new killer instinct this game did have a rocking soundtrack though, huh? Game on! The feeling! Alright, cool. I'm done. Sorry. I don't even know what they're saying. It's probably not game on, but it sounds awesome. That's a Glenn song. Game on with the feeling! It's up to you! Game on! Alright, I'm sure he's not saying that, or she's not saying that at all, but it sounds awesome to me. Okay, now that I totally embarrassed myself, let's go to the nuclear instinct. Yeah! Fight on! Okay, guys, what could possibly go wrong? Ralph and Killer Instinct are not really a good combo. Good combo. Ooh, Iron Galaxy. Can you feel it Man I loving digging the music though Yeah Oh yeah Oh, my gosh, this sounds good. This remix on it? Yeah. I might actually do good just because this music is, like, bumping. Dun, dun, dun-a-nut, dun-a-nut. Da na na, da na na. Oh my god, dude. I'm getting pumped. There's no way I'm not going to do well today. Listen to this. Da na na, da. I don't know who I want to be. I think I want to be Saber Charles Wolf. And I... Oh, what? Welcome. Saber Charles Wolf. Yes! Yes! Saber Charles Wolf, come on! Versus... FULGORE! Let's do it Fulgore! Your ass is mine! Come on Fulgore! I don't even care where I fight! FIGHT ON! That's right! Oh excuse me guys, sorry. Come on! Load already! Fight on! So aggressive! There's no way I can lose. Look how badass I look. It's kind of loud. I mean, low is a tiny thing. I'm not used to these loud games. Let's go! Come on! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! No one messes with Saber Charles Wolf! Oh, shoot. Uh, yeah. Oh, uh, oh. Oh yeah, monster combos. Saber Charles Wolf, dude! Did John Youssi that guys? Oh yeah. Why is literally nothing happening? He's like literally blocking every single thing I do. This is not cool. I guess apparently there's some intelligence, some artificial intelligence built into this game. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, wait, he's just blocking my... Don't mess with Sabrewolf. Oh, crap. Oh, crap. Oh, crap. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, that's it. Bulgore, you're going... Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. What's with the lasers, dude? Oh, dude. Ed Boon! I'm just mad now. That is it! Woo-hoo-hoo! Alright, that's it. I'm feeling it, guys. I'm totally feeling this. Let's get aggressive, Fulgore! Come on! Yeah, attack stance, Fulgore! Okay, okay guys, I have a strategy now! But the question is, can Fulgore hang with me? That's the question you need to ask yourself! Okay, he seems to do this block thing and then he attacks the crap out of me, so I'm I'm gonna kind of back off a little bit. It's part of the strategy all along. Oh, wait. Oh, oh, oh. Retro Wrath Combo! Woo-hoo-hoo! Yeah! All right, guys, that about wraps it up. I know this was a short video, but honestly, I'm probably going to have to do a part three, four, and five on this thing. There's just too much to show in one single episode without it being entirely long. So anyways, I'm going to play us out with some Broforce. This is a really fun game. I'm using the controller right now, but someone could use the controller, and someone could actually use the controls. It actually maps perfectly well to the controls as well. It's just the cab itself is super fun. It's not for the faint of heart It's it's a little bit, you know a little bit involved to build it But if you're looking for that centerpiece of your you know arcade room game room man cave, what are you gonna call it? This is really a fun system to have now if you want to do something that's a little bit easier You know, there's a bunch of other options out there, too But this is just one of those that could be the center of your arcade and you'd enjoy it with you know one friend two friends and three friends and you have plenty of room to play so I'm gonna play you out but we will see you on the next one guys and I appreciate you joining if you um if you like this video please like it please consider subscribing to the channel and guys put your comments below what do you think about a system like this and as always thanks for watching and we'll see you on the next one and I died cool Thank you.
