New Racing Multicade!

- Here's My first impression on the new sit-down Racing Arcade cabinet from Buy Stuff Arcades and decked out by Retro Lizard's Custom Arcades.
BuyStuff created the Cabinet kit, and Retro Lizard Built it up with full controls, Soundbar w/Subwoofer, 32" Monitor, and a BigBox PC configured to play over 130 Console, Arcade, and PC games!
Plug and Play and right to my door!

This is a remarkable home racing build. Thank you for showcasing this.
looks sick only thing is would say is the wheel seems a bit off, id be more immersive if the steering was configured and calibrated to each game and custom to your own drive feel, i see its a thrustmeter wheel so this wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility
First thing I noticed too
Vroom vroom baby!!! Thanks for the review man!!! Looks like you’re having a blast with it!!
It’s my new favorite thing
Brad I can't believe I haven't heard of this til now! I grew up in the arcades so this is my dream arcade cabinet for racing games. Subbed! Buying this asap 😂
Update....I was able to get 2 daytona cab racers with a full plug and play build by buystuffarcades with only a 3 week build time. It won't have Retro's pc and bells/whistles like you have, but it will have buystuff's gaming box that I think they use with the Ridge Racer kits. I don't know how much downgrade in the racing and games it will be compared to yours, but I'll take the 3 weeks over 6 months, lol. Anyway, thanks for your help to the community.
I dig this form factor. It reminds me of a 90's Midway Deluxe style racing cab on the base with a giant pinball back box for the monitor. It looks like they used a burly 3/4" thickness for the base as well which is nice.
Yes, 3/4" Plywood for virtually the entire cab. It will hold up for the long-term!
@@BuyStuffArcades See that's a rare thing. Plywood is lighter and stronger than mdf. Huge Plus on quality. I wanted a full size arcade out of birtch wood or plywood
Great setup. Retro Lizard at it again! One day I'll start my custom build. lol
This and his shooter cabinet are on my wishlist. Thanks for the review!
His shooter cabinet is fantastic
Nice video Brad! Glad you're having fun with it - looks great with Joel's build!
You guys hit it outta the park on the cab design
@@Brad-D Thanks!
@@BuyStuffArcades hope this comes back in stock soon.
@@102Lawdog Will be by the end of the month. Sign up for our newsletter on our webstore to get notified.
@@BuyStuffArcades thank you. I sent some questions out regarding this via email. This looks pretty exciting. This is just one form factor none of these mainstream home arcade companies, i.e. Arcade1up, can pull off good enough. Sadly to get this itch scratched will cost.
Awesome setup! This is very tempting if I can find the room!
Glad I came across this - THANK YOU for the excellent and informative review, and I will absolutely be checking out those links to see what options I have to establish my own driving arcade machine at home. Love the other content on your channel as well, has a great personal touch, I'm subscribed :-)
That is awesome, what a cool set up
It’s in the Jr. category compared to your hard-core sim rig :)
@@Brad-D but I have been wanting to add racing arcade games to mine, so we definitely gotta meet up for that lol
Looks nice although you should adjust the 3:4 aspect ratio games to their original size.
This is really cool!
So it's a thrustmaster wheel. The cheapest version of said wheel because of the pedals. It's a logitech shifter. It's a basic racing chair just added onto a box that allows you to move forward/backward. The really cool stuff is the Cab itself and the fact all the games come together in an easy to use box. It's maybe 500 bucks for the wheel/shifter/chair (if you find the right discounts.) 3200 bucks -500 = $2700. Is it really worth that for this? I guess if you have the money to throw at something that just works outta the box. That's not terrible. But I don't think this is for me unfortunately.
You can always take inspiration from the example and build something like this for yourself at cost
awesome!! How long was shipping once you clicked the buy button?
looks awesome! could you tell me the rough measurements of the box that the seat is attached to? looking to DIY one of those myself! thanks and great video
Very cool, i wonder if possible to get a free spinning steering wheel? I'm most interested in games that utilize free spinning wheels like pole position, offroad, etc.
Not yet... :-)
@@BuyStuffArcades oooooo.
Your best bet for that kind of experience is to get an arcade spinner, I recommend the GRS spinner, and find a wheel shell that you can attach to it
@@Brad-D There just might be a better solution soon...
Can you get Konami's Pirate Ship working on that? I tried on my steering wheel but didn't work that great haha
Nice set up. Is it me or was Hyrdo Thunder struggling a bit there? Other more graphic intense games seem to play pretty well, but surprised Hyrdo Thunder was struggling.
I saw that too. This is why I always prefer original hardware over these things
Im going to build a racing cabinet and its still in its planning stage. Does to tmx steering wheel handle well is the ffb good. Ive got a g29 wheel and it feels a bit too brutal lol
I like the tmx.
but the FFB only kicks in for some games.
and unlike my old Logitech, if there isn't active FFB then you don't get a "default" spring back :(
Could you please leave a link of this system, for downloading?
I want two of these, but I just can't mentally handle the 5-6 month waiting time after dropping all that cash.
Mine took about 3 months, I think.
But yeah, wait times vary depending on how many orders are in ahead of you
@@Brad-D I talked to RetroLizards owner and he told me 6 months. To me, he makes the best multicade in the business based on my research, but I just can't mentally handle giving a 1-man operation $6,000 and waiting 6 months to get what I bought. My brain can't pull the trigger.
Awesome I want 👍👍
I want this cab since i already have a thrustmaster but i want to be able to add output buttons. Is there room to add some output buttons that light up (ie start, coin, exit, views, etc.)? Thanks
Very cool. A few questions:
1. Do u think you could fit a buttkicker underneath the seat?
2. Does he sell DIY kits? For example i already have the pc and racing wheel and would just want the box and seat.
1. Yes! The seat pedestal has a good sized cavity underneath
2. They do!
If you’re looking for the DIY route, hit up buy stuff arcades for their cabinet kit.
But for those looking for something fully assembled and fully configured, retro lizard is the way to go
Great video! How "plug and play" is the PC? I'm not sure I want a computer in my gameroom (booting it up, using a mouse/keyboard to navigate, updating it, troubleshooting/fixing if something goes wrong, etc, etc). Kind of want to turn it on and have it go right into the games menu. I'm not good with computers. I have nightmares about turning it on one day, and having it not work... ton of money out the window. Their "Racing Box" might be better for me, but it's mostly console games. What do you think, Brad? I'd also love to see a simple plug and play light gun set up similar to what you built a while ago.
you can set these things to auto boot upon power up,at worst you see the bios screen for a second or 2
@@random_an0n pretty cool
@@HorrorRod A back up is a great idea, but I have no experience making backups, reinstalling files, etc. I'm not tech friendly at all. It'd be like your old uncle trying to do it :) Ha Ha. That's why I'm looking for a plug and play solution. Thanks for the ideas.
Does it have Chase HQ,Championship Sprint and Pole Position 2?
Can you feel it rumbling under the seat?
Retro Lizard includes a subwoofer. I have mine next to the cab because I like not having any wires between the seat and main pedestal. But if I put it under the seat I'm sure I would feel it :)
Is there a list of games that come loaded on that?
That is actually pretty sweet
Sadly, it is SOLD OUT which is unfortunate
shoot Joel a message. He build these to order and can let you when he will have a window for a new build
@@Brad-D
Awesome. Thanks for letting me know. I will most likely pick one up for sure
Is the PC inside the cabinet? I purchased this from BuyStuff and I can't find any space to stuff a pc..
Racing cab - where’s the PC??
Thank you Brad!
Why does it look like there is a good amount of input lag on that steering wheel? That would drive me crazy...no pun intended.
Maybe it doesn’t translate well to video because there’s no lag to speak of. There was a bit of a dead zone in the wheel on a couple of the emulators that I have since taken care of
@@Brad-D what front-end does it run on? Something like Launchbox or maybe Retrobat? Seems like a lot of time was made to configure the computer for tecknoparrot and the arcade games.
@@wolffactor56 this is a BigBox (Launchbox) front end
@@Brad-D Sweet, might be buying the drive for my ridge racer cabinet.
Did you put furniture sliders on the bottom of your seat to make it easier to move?
Yup
They gave you the cheap plastic pedals?
These are the Pedals that came with this steering wheel
@@Brad-D There's a version with better pedals though. I had those pedals. I barely used the wheel and found out recently the pedals were broken.
APB on that sucker? 😁
It is!
Playing through MAME
what BigBox theme do you use?
But does it have 18 wheel trucker?
It does! 😁
is there controller lag?
Not if you put the TV in Game mode.
But I have mine in store demo mode in the video.
Demo mode lets me have the TV turn on automaticity when the rest of the cabinet powers on.
If you switch it to game mode you would need to power on the TV with the remote control after the cabinet powers on
How much does this thing cost ?
This video will be up a while and I don't want to quote out-of-date pricing so you can always check out the current rates on his site:

That input lag is horrible
Has anyone e taken a game like Rush 2049 and made it a multi game racer?
Don't like it. It doesn't look like a complete racing cab. It's in pieces.
could always make a little steel bit to make the seat connected to the cab,personally i HATE any "arcade" machine thats made new,if it wasnt in an actual arcade then its junk to me...but i do like what retro lizard puts out and this cab though slimmer than a real one still is sizable enough to "feel" like a real machine,i love it.
Too laggy...yikes
It's not lag. The turning sensitivity can be adjusted no doubt. As of now he just has to turn so far it looks like lag.
They set up everything but could not configure the wheel to each game, every game has its own configuration , lol don’t waste ur money, learn how to do it ur self.
I’m not sure what “they” you are referring to, but the software on this build was fully configured by Retro Lizard’s custom Arcades and the wheel *is* fully setup on all games. It really was plug-in and play ready.
But I am a huge proponent for people knowing how these things work. That way they can change it on the fly to better fit their preferences if they want.
Joel at Retro Lizard’s offers tutorials on how he configured each emulator and can help users reconfigure if they wish to learn
