I was just looking a GRS's website today, especially their Fully Built Units. Am I correct in saying you purchased just the cabinet from them and you purchased the other components separate? Do you have a list of the components (buttons, trackball, joysticks, interfaces) that you purchased and from where? Thank you.
I would personally stay away from their fully built units. I bought the cabinet from them, and everything else was separate. Buttons were bought from ultimarc (list in the description), PC from Xidax, and everything else from Amazon.
Wow you went all out on that build, LCD on top, and streamdeck, etc. Would love to see some details on how to set up everything, if much of it was "packaged" or you had to individually craft every game to accommodate the setup. I am debating getting a kit from GRS, or someone cheaper or just full DIY. If I go with GRS and spend so much I think I might go for the 4 player cab like you have to get the most return for my investment. Gotta say, by far the best cab I have seen for a multi-arcade. I don't even know where to start to accomplish all of this, the metadata for 4way vs 2way, the Text to Speech for the games, knowing what buttons are used, flashing the LED's I have never seen a lot of this.
Awesome setup! Well above my knowledge level… the auto adjusting sticks and button communication when games start is bad ass. Is a PC needed for that or can the servo sticks work and adjust automatically with a pi4?
Looks great! Pretty much same setup and add-ons that I'll be wanting to get on mine. Curious if the flight stick will get in the way of the Sinden border. Heard some issues with that, but not sure how much clearance you have in the 43 inch cabinet. Please do a review when you get your guns.
@@tekkamanblade2244 sounds good! I'm interested in the GRS vpin as well. I subbed and will watch all your vids. One more question: do you know if GRS will do cutouts for players 3 and 4 joysticks to point up to the screen instead of angled in?
@@dblanchard81 Their site has a modern cut 4player control panel that is up not at an angle, but this dude said that the control panel may not work with the set for the larger display.
@@Dilemina Hey Dean, sorry to bother you 8 months later on this but just saw this. I'm looking into getting the 50" cab, what does it mean when you say it might not work with the control panel may not work with larger set like a 50" tv? What does the set have to do with the control panel?Thanks!
Awesome man! Exactly what I was looking for. I’ve already reached out to GRS about this cabinet and noticed that the quality in customer service has gone down quite a bit.

Hey, nice machine especially live the stream deck and second marquee. I also have a arcade cab with stream deck and a second marquee to. Can you walk me through how you use your second marquee and stream deck? Thanks I’m advance💪🏾
Bro use an arcade button as a power button for your computer. And throw it on the back panel. What front end are you using? I’m using core type r and while it’s good I can’t really customize anything and I have to set the buttons for mame I. Every game I wanna play that’s a headache. Can you help me out?

Nice work! Very clean! How did you get 3 monitors (main, control board, and hyper marquee) to work in Big Box? I only see settings for for 2 screens in the options menu. Thanks!
Hi! What you are seeing is VPX’s backglass on the monitor thats in the panel and I have the dmd on the active marquee monitor. Those settings are done through popper. If you notice later im the video when I demonstrate the servo sticks there is only a desktop background showing in the cp. BB only supports 2 screens and it wont have three screen support for the few who want it.
Great build! Everything looks great on your cab. Quick question for you.... how are you able to get BOTH LEDBlinky AND Hyper Marquee working together? All of the tutorials I've found online require "tricking" Hyperspin into thinking that EDS (for Hypermarquee) is LEDBlinky, by literally renaming it "LEDBlinky". This obviously messes things up since you can no longer point to the real LED Blinky in Hyperspin. I'm totally stumped on this. Would love to know how you got it working. Thank you in advance!
Looks amazing How did you do the blinking led lights everywhere ? Also that’s control panel Led screen is an awesome feature Idk if you talked about it much in the review Would love to hear more about that and the features . I purchased a 4 player panel and pedestal from them so far . Pretty bare bones though Wanted it that way for now I’m enjoying it so far Only complaint is that it’s a little wobbly Will tighten up myself with extra screw and or wood glue There was something a little off with my card for certain games and functions They shipped out a new card to me right away so maybe their Cs is getting better
RGB buttons compatible with an ipac io which talks to the software ledblinky. Ledblinky handles the animation of the buttons. The 7 inch screen can be found at amazon and it is fairly cheap. Thanks for watching!
I ended up buying the same 43 inch 4 player cabinet as well. The only thing is that I want to convert the cabinet to a PC instead of the Raspberry Pi. There are games like Killer Instinct that just can't be played with that setup, so I need to upgrade. The 8 way to 4 way joystick is also a great upgrade too, because games like Donkey Kong, Pac Man, and other old school classics don't work with the standard joysticks they provide. If you have a video tutorial on how you did the work on your cabinet, I'd love to see it.
It's funny how almost EVERYONE who reviews Game Room Solutions has some story about the lady (Tina, I believe) being rude or acting hysterical along with a litany of customer service issues. Apparently the husband/owner can get real mean too if you get on her bad side (which is apparently super easy and pretty much only requires basic interaction with her). I was gonna buy a kit from them but really don't want to deal with a couple of psychopaths. Update: Within an hour I found that Game Room Solutions has an F rating per the Better Business Bureau. Yup, I definitely won't be ordering from them.
Which model tv are you using for the main screen? I'm going to be getting the same 4 player cabinet from GRS and want to make sure I get a tv that fits nicely.
Samsung UN7000-ish series. Cant remember exactly. It fits in the arcade but the vesa holes dont align with the mount GRS sent me. I had to make it work soo… yeah keep that in mind.
@@tekkamanblade2244 ah OK. Thanks for the info. I may have to research some other options with better Vesa holes. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the marquee? I see it on ebay, but seems pretty high priced.
I am a newbie to this, this is the best I have seen after Daniel's built.. very good job.... I love the LED buttons, but it seems that they are out of stock from ultimarc. One question for you, what built are you using? and do you have to configure the button lights(what button lights up) for each game or they are automatically configured from the build. Thanks
LedBlinky configures all MAME games. Every other console or game has to be manually if I'm not mistaking. For the arcade I used a flat pack from Game Room Solutions.

@TekkamanBlade is there anything you would recommend to someone now trying to do this build? I've watched this video several times, bought some preconfiged drives and lightguns, this is the next step for me. Love the arcade you made
Measure twice and cut once. I practiced with some extra wood I had. Used a successful cut to draw the template. Drilled one hole in each corner to feed my jigsaw blade through. Make sure you use the blade for laminated wood. I got mine in Home Depot. The cutting teeth face up instead of down. After the cut I sand it down a bit until it fit. Thanks for watching.
Hey man! Thanks for the shout out. Machine is looking sharp!! GRS gonna always do GRS things but you turned that frown upside down. A black sharpie or a testors black paint pen will take care of those chipped areas no problem. I’m not 100%, but if you got that marquee from EHA David is using a different/better product than vitrolight. Vitrolights usually come decased and have external power supplies and the screen quality was way less, at least the old ones I used to buy were…yours looks like the nicer ones that come finished with internal power supplies. Vendor ID is M-Star in windows? Hit me up if you wanna talk LEDs! Good luck on the vpin I’m about to build my second and upgrade from HD to 4k.
Yes, I bought it from Dave. I might be mistaking, but It was my understanding that Vitrolight was manufacturing these. I might be wrong. Regardless, Im happy with my purchase from EHA.
I picked up that amp and am curious if you are able to have it start on Aux 1 instead of bluetooth when the machine powers up? I haven't figured that out yet. Your setup looks awesome!
@@tekkamanblade2244 Thanks for the reply. The only way I am currently able to do it is by powering it off (holding the button for x seconds) when it's in that position. However, if it loses power and comes back on it's always on bluetooth. So it defeats the purpose there. But yeah, one press to move it aint that big of a deal! The amp is really nice. Thanks for the suggestion!
I've heard that Game Room Solutions are difficult to deal with. And the quality is not that good but it looks great. With the prices of other makers cabs can get very expensive. They can cost for what you got will run at least 5000,00 + and they are ready to go. Thanks for the great video. Enjoy!
Crt emulation gets you 90% there, hlsl or crt royal do a really good job of emulating a crt on an LCD. CRT break all the time and the maintenance is constant, not to mention how hard it is to find decent ones.
Nice setup. GRS has a great selection of cabs and great prices. But their customer service is bad. Ive purchased a couple of cabs and a J-panel from them. When I had an issue with receiving the wrong order, the customer service lady was rude and not very knowledgeable about arcade games. I was so frustrated I stopped buying from them.
@TekkamanBlade Very nice arcade machine!!!! Which program starts the announcements on the buttons and is it like this for every game? I've never seen anything like it before. I'm impressed!!!
@@tekkamanblade2244 I think you mentioned Daniel Spies UA-cam tutorials for button help. Great cab and vid! It's between Gameroom Solutions and Extreme Home Arcades for me. Researching like crazy 🤪
@@shortclips508 agree to disagree. The megacade is $5850 for a 4player + 50$ custom graphics+ $240 led lit 4 player joysticks+ $350 led lit 4 player buttons + $175 adjustable rgb trackball+ $50 to $250 joystick+ $150 spinner= thats well over $4k probably the reason why you bought a pedestal to begin with. EHA is cool and the community is tight. No shade- just my opinion. Not to mention all the issues with the drive -mainly because of hyperspin which explains the migration to BigBox aka Omega- which looks awesome btw
You did a lot of the same mods I did. I went ham on the audio setup though. Pushing around 600W with an 8" powered Sub🤣for Guitar Hero and Karaoke and such..
I want to build one, and I'll for sure go ham lol. My livingroom theater is 15,000w and I have things like a 18" DIY sub in my bedroom pushing 2000w I might do something crazy like have speakers hanging off the back of the cab that go overhead to give you rear speakers.
Well it happens to many ppl. Tbh Ive had better luck with them than others. I am no finishing my vpin cab that I just purchased from them and everything was good in terms of condition and shipping speed. I just want to get everything done before reviewing. Thanks for watching!
I have plan to make my own arcade PC, however the arcade PC I have plan to make i will not have all those boards inside, and I will not have voice assistant But one thing I will have that I have not seen mean people to do is 1Tb and shelves in the order to using as furniture and keep my stuff one other thing, because I will try to make this arcade my self it's way cheaper for buying I wail arcade for others
Game room solutions fucking suck all around, purchased a 2 player with track ball pie 4, makes a humming noise in home screen, lady is rude. So I purchased an EHA pedestal. The best move I ever made
I've had a great experience with GRS. Nobody came off as rude to me. Situational I guess. The humming from your home screen has nothing to do with their Cab. You built it. GRS does not ship fully assembled machines. That's on you. You fucked something up. This isn't an out of the box plug and play kind of thing. You have to have realistic expectations. If you want out of the box playability buy an Arcade One system and be even more disappointed with laughably shit design and garbage components. EHA is extremely over priced for what you get. I guess if you want an out of the box overpriced solution then sure. A fool and their money. I built my 4 player cab via GRS that will destroy any EHA system for half of what they charge and the quality is spot on.
For anyone thinking in buying from GRS, it's best to just buy the cabinet and skip the components they sell. Less of a headache if something goes wrong. Buttons, audio, pi, etc source yourself.
@@Pinseeker01 I'm 44 and yes I have a ~$4000 Attract-Mode based upright arcade system with Gun4Air, full RGB Ultimarc everywhere, video marquee and coin acceptor etc - BUT I don't move a lot. I also have a phone packed with retro games, and if I were moving all the time I can see how ridiculous it would be to keep the upright - as much as I love it she'd be gone.
Funny, I actually love the control panel, especially the rounded corners. Lots of room for 4 players, otherwise you might be smelling someone's nerd sweat on a smaller one 😂
Hi, great cabinet! Thanks for mentioning me 🙏🏼 hope the tutorials helped you out a bit! Kind regards from the Netherlands, Daniël

Nop. Been doing it manually all this time XD. Im sure there is a way but I havent bothered to
@@tekkamanblade2244 Thanks for the reply. The only way I am currently able to do it is by powering it off (holding the button for x seconds) when it's in that position. However, if it loses power and comes back on it's always on bluetooth. So it defeats the purpose there. But yeah, one press to move it aint that big of a deal! The amp is really nice. Thanks for the suggestion!
I've heard that Game Room Solutions are difficult to deal with. And the quality is not that good but it looks great. With the prices of other makers cabs can get very expensive. They can cost for what you got will run at least 5000,00 + and they are ready to go. Thanks for the great video. Enjoy!
They arent pleasant but Ive never had an issue with quality. Design? Yes, but it was my choice to purchase. Thanks for watching!
Can I ask what you use the Stream Deck for? Looks awesome btw.
Dumb question: How do i know which side it the top/up for the jotstick?
There is no up or down because u configure the joystick to whatever you would like.
was it $10k?
Man this is super helpful bro
Glad it help. In what way if you dont mind me asking? Thanks for watching
Love it!
i don't like lcd emulation but this locks increíble, great job... next stage crt emulation
Crt emulation gets you 90% there, hlsl or crt royal do a really good job of emulating a crt on an LCD. CRT break all the time and the maintenance is constant, not to mention how hard it is to find decent ones.
Are there any two player games that use 4 way joystick?
Burger Time. I think Joust, Mario Bros, Tetris and Bubble Bobble as well, but suppose you can get away with 8-way.
Nice setup. GRS has a great selection of cabs and great prices. But their customer service is bad. Ive purchased a couple of cabs and a J-panel from them. When I had an issue with receiving the wrong order, the customer service lady was rude and not very knowledgeable about arcade games. I was so frustrated I stopped buying from them.
Thanks. There seems to be a common factor here…
Thanks for watching
i turn a microcenter 32 to a 50 inch
What does that even mean?
@TekkamanBlade
Very nice arcade machine!!!!
Which program starts the announcements on the buttons and is it like this for every game?
I've never seen anything like it before. I'm impressed!!!
Thanks. The program its call LEDBLINKY. You could have it for every game.
@@tekkamanblade2244 and LED Blinky also gives the audio output of which button has which function or just the blinking?
Both
@@tekkamanblade2244 Thank you so much for the Infos!!! Greetings from Germany
Looks awesome! Maybe I missed it, but what monitor did you end up using? GRS has been no help.
They suck with CS. Its a Samsung TV
Are you running bigbox?
Yes
what software are you running?
Launchbox/Bigbox
What theme?
@@AmbientoftheFel Unified Redux
You said u know someone that can help set up the buttons on the arcade ??
Not that I can recall
@@tekkamanblade2244 I think you mentioned Daniel Spies UA-cam tutorials for button help. Great cab and vid! It's between Gameroom Solutions and Extreme Home Arcades for me. Researching like crazy 🤪
Nice build 👌
Thanks
Did it come with all the accessory
No. Just the flat pack with screws.
So you had to buy the spinner flight stick and light gun . What was additional price.
Yes
Yo this is awesome!
What's something like that cost if you don't mind me asking?
Depends on you and what you want. Fir this same cab you looking at 4-5k
@@tekkamanblade2244 thanks. I really like what you had built. It's a really good design. 👍
For 4K you can get a well built EHA arcade,
@@shortclips508 agree to disagree. The megacade is $5850 for a 4player + 50$ custom graphics+ $240 led lit 4 player joysticks+ $350 led lit 4 player buttons + $175 adjustable rgb trackball+ $50 to $250 joystick+ $150 spinner= thats well over $4k probably the reason why you bought a pedestal to begin with. EHA is cool and the community is tight. No shade- just my opinion. Not to mention all the issues with the drive -mainly because of hyperspin which explains the migration to BigBox aka Omega- which looks awesome btw
@@shortclips508 No you can't. Tekk's build is more like an 8K EHA build. Give me break. EHA, LMAO.
Very nice!
You did a lot of the same mods I did. I went ham on the audio setup though. Pushing around 600W with an 8" powered Sub🤣for Guitar Hero and Karaoke and such..
I want to build one, and I'll for sure go ham lol. My livingroom theater is 15,000w and I have things like a 18" DIY sub in my bedroom pushing 2000w
I might do something crazy like have speakers hanging off the back of the cab that go overhead to give you rear speakers.
@@ViciousXUSMC That's exactly what I did. I got 2-6x9 in the front, 2-4" speakers at bottom front, and 2-4" at top rear, plus the 8" sub.
Well it looks great but I think you scared me away as far as customer service goes with these guys.
Well it happens to many ppl. Tbh Ive had better luck with them than others. I am no finishing my vpin cab that I just purchased from them and everything was good in terms of condition and shipping speed. I just want to get everything done before reviewing. Thanks for watching!
Bro it looks sick...
Hi! Thank you and thanks for watching.
Molto bello!!!
Grazie
You did a nice job looks very much like Daniel spies build awesome!
I have plan to make my own arcade PC,
however the arcade PC I have plan to make i will not have all those boards inside,
and I will not have voice assistant
But one thing I will have that I have not seen mean people to do is 1Tb and shelves in the order to using as furniture and keep my stuff
one other thing,
because I will try to make this arcade my self it's way cheaper for buying I wail arcade for others
You should rewrite this
Did you find some blue prints?
Dope 🔥🤙🏾
Game room solutions fucking suck all around, purchased a 2 player with track ball pie 4, makes a humming noise in home screen, lady is rude. So I purchased an EHA pedestal. The best move I ever made
I agree, she is rude. But I have had a fairly good experience with GRS. Im happy you are enjoying your pedestal. Thanks for watching!
I've had a great experience with GRS. Nobody came off as rude to me. Situational I guess.
The humming from your home screen has nothing to do with their Cab. You built it. GRS does not ship fully assembled machines. That's on you. You fucked something up.
This isn't an out of the box plug and play kind of thing. You have to have realistic expectations. If you want out of the box playability buy an Arcade One system and be even more disappointed with laughably shit design and garbage components.
EHA is extremely over priced for what you get. I guess if you want an out of the box overpriced solution then sure. A fool and their money.
I built my 4 player cab via GRS that will destroy any EHA system for half of what they charge and the quality is spot on.
@@travisfury4885 show it off
For anyone thinking in buying from GRS, it's best to just buy the cabinet and skip the components they sell. Less of a headache if something goes wrong. Buttons, audio, pi, etc source yourself.
@@arthurm7029 I agree
She's pretty flash
this is a copy from daniel spies world most expensive arcade build .
Daniel is a talented builder. Thanks for watching
I’ll pass on Game Solutions. They nickel and dime, fit and finish is like a Tesla and customer service sounds like a boxing match. Next!! Thank you
"Because of my job I move a lot". lol ever thought about perhaps just playing all these old crusty games on your phone instead then??
You want to take our childhood nostalgia wet dream and stick it in a phone??? What you on bud? what are you on!
@@Pinseeker01 If you move a lot, yes. And I'm on common sense, not sure what you're on!!
@@jorisbonson386 I'm on nostalgia baby! Maybe you're not old enough to have that for arcade games perhaps.
@@Pinseeker01 I'm 44 and yes I have a ~$4000 Attract-Mode based upright arcade system with Gun4Air, full RGB Ultimarc everywhere, video marquee and coin acceptor etc - BUT I don't move a lot. I also have a phone packed with retro games, and if I were moving all the time I can see how ridiculous it would be to keep the upright - as much as I love it she'd be gone.
@@jorisbonson386 I'd take it with me but I hear ya...
Ugly thats a huge panel imo
Funny, I actually love the control panel, especially the rounded corners. Lots of room for 4 players, otherwise you might be smelling someone's nerd sweat on a smaller one 😂
Just get a mega Cade and pay $5000. We'll have every arcade game in the world and all the light gun games.
Just 5k Jesus I could build it for 1.
9000 dollars and 6 month wait time clown
@@sunnydelight3046 How much was this thing?
