Yeah the more signal converters and daughterboards that was pulled out of the wizard's hat the more certain i became of sticking to emulators. May have to invest in a arcade stick though.
He's made it look far more complicated than it really is (not necessarily a criticism) - by trying to 'cover all the bases' it looks overwhelming. For most people with just a handful of PCBs it's pretty simple really to get an old arcade board working with a PSU, monitor, adapter and controller.
@@stanguay169 Yeah, I'll stick with arcade collections/MAME. Honestly, unless you're an arcade expert/expert at a given game, most people probably aren't going to be able to discern the difference in most games as MAME is reasonably accurate for most games. I MIGHT pay hundreds for a cab of a game I particularly enjoy, but not for a PCB, but that's me.
I like your storage solutions using boxes with artwork of the game. Recently I have been chewing on a few original ideas. I am convinced that Jamma is a thriving hobby in some parts of the world. I smell inventions and money.
This sound so confusing to me with all boards and video outputs available. Though I appreciate the fact that you made a video explaining some setups, much appreciated
I just wanted to say thank you for putting in the effort of adding closed captions to all of your videos. It helps in so many ways and it doesn't go unnoticed. :)

8:49 that Die Hard Arcade cartridge is a work of art, it looks like a massive industrial NES cartridge, im getting nostalgia for it and ive never seen one in person before, I cant get over how much I love that style X3
Thank you so much. I am collecting classic video games for consoles for many years. For a few days now, I am fascinated by the idea of collecting original Jamma Games. As I want to play them, I was searching for a way to do that without buying an old cabinet. SuperGun seems to be the solution I was searching for a few days now. Very informative video 😊
There are some relatively cheap boards and bootlegs. Things that have never been ported are more expensive. Also beware of Capcom's suicide batteries, it's something to keep in mind. Anyway, welcome to the rabbit hole.
Your work goes way beyond reviews only, I start to see it as essential preservation of maybe the greatest memories of our lives... The wonderful debut of home gaming and computing and its development. And in that sense, I think you should be managing a giant museum that would be dedicated to preserving all this equipment that was once in our daily life, a place where we all could touch, use, and keep on our memories what made us happy.
I remember wasting 20 dollars in quarters beating Double Dragon in the arcade, and similarly with TMNT....I probably spent enough playing those games to buy all the hardware now, lol.
I remember back in the day, I saw a guy spent well over $60 beating T2 The Arcade Game. With that kind of money he could have bought the SNES port or any other game he wanted, for that matter.
@@krazycharlie yeah I remember that game and a similar guy as well. Spent like 10 dollars in quarters on the helicopter segment and gave up and I watched from the side lines and was awwed
Yeah i would love to have the kind of loose change i have now back then. It was something special to gather at the local diner or wherever to see if you could get far in the cabinet in the corner. Especially if you really got going and others started gathering to see you play.
Clint, you're the boss. It is so obvious how much respect you have for all this gear and your whole hobby (which probably doubles as your job now?), which makes you even so more respectable person.
Thanks for providing such an in depth video about those kind of things, mr. LGR. As someone who lives in a country where those kind of electronics are prohibitively expensive, seeing it in such a high amount of detail really satiates a bit of my hunger for old tech. On the other side, it also increases my desire to own those kinds of things, but until then, thank you so much for bringing this kind of content for us!
thank you so much for the video! For years, I wanted to set up a home arcade but never had the room/money to get the cabinet Knowing all this stuff helps me a out a lot (though, I'm going to need a big box filled with wires and arcade boards before too long) Keep up the great work!
16:00 I always forget that this game is called rush 'n' attack in your neck of the woods. Here in the UK, it's called Green Beret, and I am proud to say that I always had my name in the top 10 for this game at my local arcade. Played it to death on my Commodore 64 and then Amiga A500.
This is extremely artisanal. It's like rolling your own coils and concocting your own vape juice out of unicorn tears, and harvesting electricity from the sun to slow charge your hand rolled lithium cells. Worth the effort if it's your jam. What a great tour of the process to get it all to work.
All of your computer stuff videos typically go over my head, so it's nice to finally have a video I understand everything in due to it being an old hobby of mine lol
Damn he really is hardcore. I mean for my arcade experience I just use this little plug and play emulation box, and call it a day. He really went all out. But if he keeps this up he won't be able to call himself lazy game reviews.
@@TheMrR9 I understand that, who wants an authentic experience - but for the money needed to set up 2/3 games in this original way, I can buy latepanda alpha board, a good used monitor, 4 controllers and have a fantastic setup to play with friends or alone - always ready to play. (with several thousand games)
Such a cool hobby! I was really curious to see how you stored the PCB - so thanks for covering that! And those thick cartridges were so satisfying to look at. I’d love to collect those.
Ahh yes, arcade stuff! Great to see your collection growing Clint! I've been collecting, fixing and restoring arcade gear for ages now, started about 20 years ago. First pcb I ever bought was Robocop and the second was a Raiden bootleg, got both of those still and they still work fine. I bought a jamma cab not long after though, it's one by Electrocoin that has an easily rotatable crt monitor. Robocop gets used for testing crt monitors quite often after i've fixed them. I fix crt arcade (and sometimes build) monitors for members of a forum i'm on and also occasionally for a couple of local operators. I tend to pick up crt tvs (the non-fst type for 10" to 25") whenever I see them, but I have a decent stock of crt monitors and tvs from 10" to 29" in storage along with other arcade stuff. I still have most of my pcbs (NBA Jam and Primal Rage included!) but have been selling some recently, I think Xexex was the last one I sold. I occasionally fix pcbs, last one I fixed was Dig Dug and for that I have an Acorn multisync crt monitor that does 15 - 31 khz. A friend and I tend to often collect cabs and refurb them between us, we bought a Time Crisis 2 twin and 2 jamma cabs not long after Christmas and recently have been sorting out Nintendo Playchoice 10, Hang On and Operation Wolf cabs, amongst others. Still got a Tokyo Wars, a Crisis Zone and several others to get through! One thing i'd say though, if you have trouble with rolling pictures that'd be because most arcade pcbs often don't output a spot on sync signal, you'd probably be better off getting a proper arcade monitor (or 2, one for horizontal and one for vertical) even if you built a case for it to go in with the remote image adjustment controls outside, you wouldn't need the converters for those either. :)
I have learned so much from you over the past year since I have found your channel. interesting, educational and entertaining. You have the trifecta man, keep it up!
Awesome vid Clint! I’ve been considering getting into PCBs myself for a while now and you just might have given me the last push to jump into the action.
Once again, perfect. forgotten wepaons just uploaded a fantastic video about a 14 barrel flintlock rifle and then shortly after you upload this. A great morning again.
I like how all the fans of each UA-cam channels seem to have the same overlap. It's like they all like LGR, Techmoan, VWestlife, 8 bit guy, databits, tech connections and then cross over into the likes of forgotten weapons and mark felton.
@@millsyinnz theres definitely overlapamongst youtube viewers depending on interests. but of all the channels you listed the only two I watch are forgotten wepaons and of course lgr here.

@@millsyinnz in fact this is my only foray into what I would call nerdy territory. Though theres nothing wrong with that, most of what I watch is gun reviews, wilderness exploration, and political discourse.

I don't know. Repairing old CRT display boards can make you pull your hair out. In addition, the crazy rise of price on arcade machines in the last 15 yrs.
@@volvoguy804 Indeed, some crts faults I find easy to repair but some drive you crazy as you say, i've been trying to repair a 14" Toei tabletop/cocktail monitor for a while now and still not managed it. It may end up getting replaced with a later crt arcade monitor!
This is a great idea ,miss the feel of the old games at arcades i played consoles but as a kid i was so impartial being old enough to play video games at the arcade as a child and they never gave you that sensation of belling up to the cabinet on a Friday night ,and blowing through my allowance :}
Something amusing about a topdown shooter being played on a vertical LCD. Sure it's normally a CRT in that position, but it's not obvious in the cabinet.
Super awesome video Clint! I like most of the stuff you produce but this one is such a great overview of tons of different components and capabilities.
Good lord Clint, you really went down the Arcade PCB rabbit hole the past few weeks, huh? I had no idea this scene even existed. Just when I thought retro gaming only has so many layers, you manage to pull the rug out from under me. Now, if I can get a Cruis'n World arcade PCB running properly, I can die happy haha.
Great timing! I've been looking at consolized Neo Geo MVS options recently but decided to go down the board and supergun route. A few days ago I ordered a MV1FZ (due to it having a socketed BIOS) and a entry level supergun/PSU bundle, along with the 161 game MVS multicart.
This is absolutely amazing!!... but I'll stay with emulation due to finantial and phisical space concerns. Other than that, I'll dial my envy-admiration to the middle :)
Loved the bit with MK2 and the wonky monitor issues, thanks to an odd refresh rate. Also, Mr LGR - you NEED to check out MK2+ and UMK3+, they are updates to the original, 100% hardware compatible, and make the arcade experience so much better! I'm one of the developers on these projects, thousands upon thousands of hours have been put in to this! I won't shamelessly plug the website just yet, but a UA-cam search for UMK3+ or MK2+ will get you where you need to go
Aaaaaah. Nothing like that LGR opening music in these chaotic times to make a morning feel more welcoming than regrettable, and repetitive. Thank you again Clint. I mean that.
With all that's going on in this world, I always look forward to watching your videos and escaping this crazy world for a little while. Thank you for your videos LGR, I always love watching them!
LGR - I am SUPER impressed you gave Turf Masters some air time. I think it is the greatest arcade golf game EVER MADE! I have a similar setup using a Rasbperry Pi and arcade controllers. Big Ups!!!
Nice one Clint, I love arcade games!! I have a Pit-Fighter 3 player PCB myself together with some WICO/IL original arcade controls, an arcade power supply with -5v required for the sound board as you said in the video, a JAMMA extension cable and also I have a dirty cheap (and somewhat crappy) Vogatek MK II supergun I bought some time ago. I tried to go the cheap way and my results of course are not as near as good as yours. But it makes the game playable in a standard CRT TV with composite/s-video inputs and this is what really matters to me. If you live in the U.S. or Europe, these thigs will be a lot cheaper, but if you live in Brazil (me), this hobby is just way too expensive. Please do more arcade games videos, these are always awesome :D
For a channel called "Lazy Game Reviews," a lot of effort is put into just getting the games to run.
Good thing he didn't name it "Procrastination Game Reviews" or he would never get any of them to run.
Obviously, the games are lazy, not the gamer.
As well as his script writing is top notch UA-cam material.
Well even the editing has effort put into the video.
never underestimate the lengths people will go to in order to be lazy, just look at the remote control!
"Convert the conversion with another converter"
that made my day
The retro gaming version of tech the tech with the tech.
More converters than using a Mac
Maximum convertage!

That’s how we interface with BACnet nodes every day. 2 serial conversions before USB.

But where to get a conversion converter?

Lol I thought the same. At first I thought oh cool I can do this then he kept going and I thought yeah nevermind
I just kept hearing the teachers from the Charlie Brown cartoons instead of his voice
Unfortunately through the years video standards were anything but.. standard.
I use a Dell optiplex hooked up to a CRT monitor with custom sticks for arcade emulation
This reminded me of an episode of My Life in Gaming. So much detail and explanation. Great job on the video
this reminds me of that one Strong Bad Email where they have to hook up a mile-long chain of adapters just to play Senor Cardgage's cursed video tape

Hello LGR, I like your youtube channel and there is nothing LAZY about it as far as I know - excellent video!
Yo dawg I heard you like converters so I put a converter on your converter so you can convert while you convert!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh so many converters!!
Kudos for using the correct meme format!
This is a great idea ,miss the feel of the old games at arcades i played consoles but as a kid i was so impartial being old enough to play video games at the arcade as a child and they never gave you that sensation of belling up to the cabinet on a Friday night ,and blowing through my allowance :}
Something amusing about a topdown shooter being played on a vertical LCD. Sure it's normally a CRT in that position, but it's not obvious in the cabinet.
Super awesome video Clint! I like most of the stuff you produce but this one is such a great overview of tons of different components and capabilities.

Now I understand why Ashens was keeping a game board in his oven.
Good lord Clint, you really went down the Arcade PCB rabbit hole the past few weeks, huh?
I had no idea this scene even existed. Just when I thought retro gaming only has so many layers, you manage to pull the rug out from under me.
Now, if I can get a Cruis'n World arcade PCB running properly, I can die happy haha.
Fantastic! This is a hobby I never knew I wanted. RIP my bank account.
I've preemptively filed for bankruptcy.
Getting some mad My Life in Gaming vibes off this episode! Keep up the crazy work Clint, its always a blast to watch!
I'm a simple lady, I see TMNT in the thumbnail, I click.
LGR you're giving me awful ideas about buying huge carts and boards!
Great timing! I've been looking at consolized Neo Geo MVS options recently but decided to go down the board and supergun route. A few days ago I ordered a MV1FZ (due to it having a socketed BIOS) and a entry level supergun/PSU bundle, along with the 161 game MVS multicart.
This is absolutely amazing!!... but I'll stay with emulation due to finantial and phisical space concerns. Other than that, I'll dial my envy-admiration to the middle :)
This was a great way to end my birthday video binge watch. Good stuff as always, Clint.
More like "setting up and playing numerous converters" :-)
Love the way you store them! Looks so pleasing
Complicated, expensive - I think I'll stay with my PC stuff :-) Thanks for the insights!
Ok snowflake
Amazingly informative! I loved arcades and I never knew this much work would've gone to make them 100% re-playble! I love this content!
You've convinced me to...never ever do this.
Loved the bit with MK2 and the wonky monitor issues, thanks to an odd refresh rate. Also, Mr LGR - you NEED to check out MK2+ and UMK3+, they are updates to the original, 100% hardware compatible, and make the arcade experience so much better! I'm one of the developers on these projects, thousands upon thousands of hours have been put in to this! I won't shamelessly plug the website just yet, but a UA-cam search for UMK3+ or MK2+ will get you where you need to go
Ooh, sounds promising, hadn't heard of that! So I could swap the ROMs on my board for the update then?
@@LGR That is correct my friend! if you want to check out the site it's mortalkombatplus.com
The HAS supergun missed out on a golden marketing opportunity for their preorder page...
"I can HAS supergun?"
Aaaaaah. Nothing like that LGR opening music in these chaotic times to make a morning feel more welcoming than regrettable, and repetitive. Thank you again Clint. I mean that.
my . god ..
So this is why i use Emus on my phone and PC..
this video makes me happy because the first time I watched it we were on our way home from the black hills in South Dakota after a week-long trip.
Somewhere Joe from Game Sack is screaming "TAAAATTEEE MOOODDDEE!!"
With all that's going on in this world, I always look forward to watching your videos and escaping this crazy world for a little while. Thank you for your videos LGR, I always love watching them!
You need to get into MiSTer!
Yoo sir
I just love those little domed start buttons like on missile command. Brings back a lot of memories!
In before the coin drop!
This video read my mind. I want to do something arcade but couldn't think about how to get it going, but this makes it somewhat possible.
Thanks a ton
Gee, thats a lot of hardware, I can't even store all my consoles and computers properly
LGR - I am SUPER impressed you gave Turf Masters some air time. I think it is the greatest arcade golf game EVER MADE! I have a similar setup using a Rasbperry Pi and arcade controllers. Big Ups!!!
Ok, let's install an emulator xD
I love stuff like this - combining both my nostalgia for old hardware with my nostalgia for classic games.
Nice one Clint, I love arcade games!! I have a Pit-Fighter 3 player PCB myself together with some WICO/IL original arcade controls, an arcade power supply with -5v required for the sound board as you said in the video, a JAMMA extension cable and also I have a dirty cheap (and somewhat crappy) Vogatek MK II supergun I bought some time ago. I tried to go the cheap way and my results of course are not as near as good as yours. But it makes the game playable in a standard CRT TV with composite/s-video inputs and this is what really matters to me. If you live in the U.S. or Europe, these thigs will be a lot cheaper, but if you live in Brazil (me), this hobby is just way too expensive. Please do more arcade games videos, these are always awesome :D
I tell you man your videos have kept me sane during lock-down!
that neo geo cartridge collection looks awesome. i love the huge ass boxes. awesome vid again too lgr. always a pleasure to watch.
Thank you! You might like my other video all about those huge ass boxes :)
