Very cool! I like your choice of hardware too that should run pretty much anything really nicely (except maybe some 4k upscaling on certain games)

Holy crap, that build is stellar... you got the most out of that kit and the LED backlighting really makes it pop!  Specs are very similar to mine and you’ll be able to play all the stuff on 16tb (VR even) if you ever think about a 16tb upgrade.


We gotta highlight more stuff like this on the forum, thank you for sharing!  I’ll highlight this on FB to show people what’s out there.

Awesome Jenny

FYI I made it a scheduled FB post to go up Wednesday Night at 8pm. There's some important info on the FB page right now, so letting that 'breathe' for a few days for people to catch that info.

Awesome! I have the same emulator control on an Xtension cabinet. Do all of your buttons work with the Mame wheels, etc? It’s hit or miss with mine when these updates roll out. Let me know. Thanks!

Awesome cabinet, I am about to get one from RR Masters as well, did you have them design the graphics? If so they did a great job.Are you using a JOYLAN rgb sound controller for the LEDS, Ive had it and the LEDS in my Amazon basket forever but havent got it yet

Thanks! RRM did the graphics, they are awesome to work with.

I've tried 3 of the sound reactive controllers, I found this one was the most reliable and had the best effects:

Never had a problem with mame controls on Chris's drive, updated 3x so far...Only exception is dual lightguns and stable IDs using ctlr files but that's a whole world of hurt on its own and I've always gone off and done my own thing using the ultimarc utility instead of the included arcadeguns.com config tool.

That’s good to hear. Not sure what’s going on with mine. Always seem to struggle with the coin in and other buttons to not only launch games but to navigate thru Hyperspin. I haven’t updated since November or so. Hoping to have some time to run an update this weekend.

See my post in common problems section on controls.

man does cuphead work with 2 joystick? i tried many times no use

Hmm, I honestly dont think I tried...probably not since its just an IPAC mini. I did receive my dual brooks fighting stick controllers and I plan on using those going forward since they are MAME compatible.

How does the buttons and joystick feel? Are they sanwa equivalent?  Does the 2 buttons on the bottom get in the way?

It's a nice looking setup... I was looking at getting that also.

To get this keyboard arcade controller to work with Cuphead for 2 Players (and many other games that only allow keyboard controls to be configured for player 1), you'll need to download and setup VJoy along with x360ce to emulate an Xbox 360 controller. I've gotten this control board to handle just about any 2 player game on Steam that I've thought would be fun in the cabinet.

Wow i want a cabinet just like that. So inspiring.

How did you get those light gun holders to stick, mine keep falling off even when I changed the double sided tape? I even used double sided auto molding tape, no luck.

Two part epoxy, mix and go

Okay, thanks.  Never crossed my mind. I actually have some in the garage.

Is that a spinner to the left of your keyboard? If so, what is the brand/model and are you using it for games or for scrolling through the wheels?
