The 12V DC cable I ordered from Amazon works very well despite being 12V. The amp takes 12V or 24V and I only need to set the volume knob to 1/3.
I have also received by 2 Sinden lightguns. I installed the beta drivers and worked on this for 1 hour yesterday but don't have them working how I...
Both fans definitely brought down the noise to an acceptable level. The PSU is now the loudest fan in the cabinet but when it's fully enclosed, I can hardly hear it.
The amp was another major win. The amp that came with the cabinet was so light and cheap that it struggle both with power and...
I installed the 120mm fan ans it's much quieter. Amazon sent me the 40mm fan instead of the 80mm I ordered so it'll take 2 days before I can go full Noctua.
Upgrades and some shopping
Fans
The two fans that exhaust hot air from the cabinet are pretty loud. The one at the bottom is a tiny but mighty 12V 80mm fan while the one behind the monitor is a quieter but still annoying 12V 120mm fan. The top fan has a standard 3 pin connector with 12V and...
Setup was easy and the instructions provided by the seller were easy to follow. The cab came wired to the Pandora box. It really struggled with old games but that's because the "HD Filter" is on by default:
Once I turned that off the speed was acceptable but the Pandora box isn't really a...
I received my cabinet on Friday Feb. 24th. It was a group order with someone else so there are 2 crates
The machine itself was wrapped in bubble wrap but otherwise not secured inside the crate. This is going to be important later.
The unit was packed using the traditional Vewlix shipping L...
Cheap :) The monitor is nice but some components are bargain bin quality. The fans are very loud, the PSU is "acceptable" but delivers about 350mv over the published value in DC. For example, 5.5V is really 5.83V. The amp works great with the Pandora but really struggles with the audio output...
The cabinet should be unloaded on US soil now! For those who like stats, it took a 20 day trip across the Pacific across the "Cosco Englang" container ship.
I believe it was loaded at the Yantian port. Since the boat has already left the US, I assume it was unloaded and it's now waiting for...
PC for emulation
Amazon has the Beelink SER5 5560U on sale for $350. I added a Samsung 2TB external drive for $189 to store games. The strong embedded GPU was a strong selling point. It benchmarks very well for an APU. It came with a Windows 11 license, 16GB of ram and a 500GB SSD.
I set up...
You are correct. This is from Chino and I found him on Facebook. My Alibaba order points me to this model. These are the upgrades I ordered along side the cab:
HDMI port with 3.5mm audio connector;
adapter for PS3/4 and PC games
20 piece tokens. I'm told they sent 32...
I have yet to receive...
I'd be more comfortable doing a public endorsement after I receive and test the cabinet. PM me if you can't wait but my machine is still in China. ETA is end of Feb.
Thanks! The only thread I could find has an expired link :(

Hi everyone! I'm located in California but have lived in Japan for 10 years so I got accustomed to Japanese arcades. My favorite one was in Ueno, hence my username. I built a MAME arcade cabinet 20 years ago and I've been itching to get back into it. It was a full size cabinet with Happ...
