Thumbs up if you enjoyed the video & like strawberry pop tarts👍👍
DThomasFromNC I enjoy the video but I love strawberry pop tarts I made myself sick when I was a kid. 🤮
That intro had me cracking up. While the megacade is outta my budget, you’ve inspired me to build my own Cabinet. This past weekend I copped an arcade1up that I will be modding. I might post a “how to video” about it but we’ll see...
@@geowa3724 thanks for watching. You must've eaten a box or two.😂
@@AlphaRakamaTech I'm grateful that my vids inspired you bro. Building your own cab is going to be a great experience and it'll save you some money. Also, I'm glad this intro made you crack up.😂
Hey DThomas from NC,Nice helpfull video👍🏻😁Still saving money for my “gamebox”and even for some Pinball machines “Nba fastbreak” and “Popeye saves the world”.Expensive but so much fun🤩.Have a Nice day Bro
I never even noticed the green joystick placement on your cabinet, but now I will never not see it. Great video as usual.
😂😂😂ugghhh I just had to say something. But thanks for stopping through. See you on tonight's zoom.
I didn't see it either.
Ditto to what Derik said. 😆
Dthomas rocking the old school Larry Johnson jersey. I had one of those back in the day during the 90's.
Yeah bro that mug is classic
I just love your videos, man! You got such great energy and enthusiasm. I can't WAIT to get my own Megacade! Thanks for all the education and entertainment!
You're so welcome! And thank you for the kind words. Owning a Megacade is an absolute dream.
What Is one game you’ve found on the machine that you never heard of but you keep going back to it and found it very fun to play
I came across a game called Steele Rats. It's a PC game.. never heard of it before until I got this Megacade.That game is amazing bro. I'm gonna show some gameplay in a future video.
Chicken Shift (Arcade Classics)
Thanks for the shout out! The HDD isn't close enough to the subwoofer for there to be any magnetic data issues, if that's what people were thinking.
You're so welcome bro! And yeah, people were thinking that about the HDD.
Hey D, just wanted to drop you a line to tell you that you’re my favorite MAME channel on UA-cam. I had my mame cabinet for a couple of years and I just updated to the newest software. You forgot to tell your subscribers Dave will update your hard drive for me if you pay for the shipping. Anyways, keep up the good work. Just one thing. A lot of my games needed to be calibrated. I’m not the most tech savvy, so I depend on your channel for help. Thanks again!
What up bro! I'm grateful that you're loving my channel. Yeah that is one thing I forgot to mention in this particular video about the hard drive. Most definitely will keep up the good work. And with the calibration...unfortunately that happens some times. But I'm gonna post as many videos as I can to help you and other EHA owners out. Thanks again for watching bro.
The subwoofer creates air which helps cool down the hard drive
🤣🤣🤣
Ahhh nostalgia I remember asking YOU about getting my megacade through the door lol and when yysaid turn that mug sideways I instantly thought of the Rock's famous quote (if you don't know it look it up) haha
😂😂😂literally that's all you have to do to get it in the house.
Really enjoying the weekly videos. Intro to this video was well done. Your channel needs to blow up
Glad you're enjoying the vids. It's gonna blow soon.😁
Ordered wide panel classic in April 2020, expected delivery is around February 2021. I’m so ready.
You might get it before then
I hope so, but I’m not stressing it.
Yo DThomas!!! You out did yourself with this fire vid!!! The production quality was insane!!! I thought it was so cool when the twin says to the “D” on the couch- look up the Megacade! He searched UA-cam and the DThomas one hour Megacade video popped up first... very cool! This was informative and entertaining in one package. I want to see the DThomas twin talk Megacade smack with the Scantron Troll in a future video...now that would be dope! You are killing it DThomas! Everything you put out is gold... no, platinum!!! Thanks for swinging by the chat tonight! I am working on Ghost of Tsushima now! LOL... Peace!
Thanks for checking out the video bro. Glad you enjoyed it. A vid with my cousin (twin) and the Scantron troll would be amazing. Definitely gonna make that happen in a future video. The chat was insane! Can't wait until that Manhattan project is finished. I'm working on Ghost of Tsushima as well. Also, what did you think about The Last of Us 2's ending and story overall?
LOL Genji question got me rolling!!!! Never noticed.....
😂😂😂😂 until now
Dude.......totally DIG the shirt! I like the Megacade, but I like the way the STEALTH one looks more. I wish I could get the dimensions and plans. I would try to build a cabinet just it, but it would probably not come out as well because my carpentry skills are in question.
What up President Snow! The stealth isn't a bad machine by any means. If I'm not mistaken, the dimensions are on EHA's website. Building your own cab could be a very fun project. But you said your carpenter skills are in question....aye, there's always youtube. You can literally learn and & everything on there.
@@dthomasfromnc sweet!
Great informative video man. Simply cannot wait to have mine delivered. Just a few more months!
It won't be long now bro. Will you have yours before Christmas?
DThomasFromNC I should receive it just before Christmas 🎄
Somebody let me if that's a Yorkie on the face mask.😂😂
Isn't that Hello Kitty?
@@RandomStuffByMe looks like it but nahh😂
Hahaha love the intro. As always awesome video, very helpful/knowledgeable and fun. Thanks dude!!
You're so welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video. Really appreciate you watching.
Thanks for all the Megacade videos, my dude! Helped me a ton making choices on my build. Is there anything in terms of options that you would do differently if you were ordering it all over again? Thanks again!
No problem, Ben. If I had to do it all over again, I would've purchased a spinner. Also, would've made the power on button underneath the control panel so my wife could turn it on.
@@dthomasfromnc Good looks! I was on the fence about the spinner and tron joystick. Didn't even think about the power button. Totally gonna add those two things to my build. The tron joystitck looks like it sticks up a bunch and might get in the way - probably still skip that. Thanks again!
I LIKE YOUR BATMAN RED TEE SHIRT!!!
Thanks
Well 6 months is better than the monster waiting time for myself. I just spoke to David the other day and the Megacade I purchased back in May won't be arriving at my doors until May 2021 due to the COVID-19 and they actually slammed with work at the moment.
Ahhh okay. I wasn't slotted to receive mine until April 2020. But actually got it a lot sooner. So I wouldn't be surprised at all if you were to get your Megacade sooner.
@@dthomasfromnc I just know I wanted to be playing one of these bad boys when I made the purchase so I'm overdue lol
@@darrylefurlow you won't be disappointed
That green joystick mishap is funny as fck!!! Great vid!
🤣🤣🤣thanks
What do you think of the Manhattan project that Chris Carson and some of the others in the group are working on
What Chris & them have going on with that Manhattan Project is amazing! It's a great look for the entire EHA/Megacade community. Can't wait until they're done.
Could you elaborate a bit on this? What's the Manhattan Project?
You and your cousin are practically twins. Good stuff
😂😂😂everybody says that. Guess it must be true. Thanks for showing love bro.
Hey came across your video and have been interested in purchasing my own cab. What are the best options for the megacade to get??
Great video DThomas!
My initial inspiration, keeps inspiring!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you so much
is there an option to purchase the megacade machine software on a harddrive then make your own custom arcade cabinate and buttons?
Nope! Gotta purchase one of their machines.
There are plenty of hyperspin images on the net yo can download I built my own for half the price
Thank you so much for this info sir. Now can you elaborate on that we would pay for the build but not the games? Just curious about the games. Thank man.
So although the games come with the machine, the games are not what you're paying for. The games (or ROMs) can be found on the internet and one could download them practically for free. Some have commented before that this company was charging for games when that isn't the case. I was just trying to clarify that.
Hey D, what kind of buttons and sticks do they use in the megacade?
I'm not exactly sure. They aren't Sanwa I can tell you that. But they are pretty decent for whatever brand they are.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣lol at first I thought it was Hello Kitty
Hello Kitty😂😂😂😂
Also what house of the dead light gun games are on this cab?
HOTD 1-4
The video card is only a geforce gtx 1660…so you don’t need a really fast video card to play emulators?
You don't. Just a beefy card for pc/next gen titles.
Ha awesome intro my brother!! Lol 😆 ruffles or die. Hey thx for the shoutout man!! Much appreciated 🙏
😂😂You're so welcome bro
Hello kitty looking puppy chihuahua thing lol
Yeah because that's exactly it looks like😂
That intro lmaoo
Nice video!
😂😂😂
Going to be close to 6k if you want the megacade with most of the extra options.
Pretty much
Yep thats stupid ! Build one yourself with better features, a fullhd 32tv, bettet pc inside to play all games in the world including modern pc games for less the 700$.... 6500$ lollll what a rip off
@@stephmbl and don't worry for 6k it only takes 6months to get 😄
Yo d,is nba jam on fire edition on the megacade? Btw thanks for the video as always Dope!
Yoooo what's up Edwin. NBA Jam On Fire Edition isn't on the Megacade yet...but it's coming. Some awesome guys in the EHA/Megacade community are working on some things and NBA Jam OFE is one of the gamrs that will be on the machines in the near future.
Lol, DT you crazy!
🤣🤣🤣
My main question is if they can cater to a specific amount (say 100 games of neo geo &snk/ capcom/ Konami arcade that I’d want rather than having clones of rom emulation for Barbie’s pony
Unfortunately the machine comes with all of the games pre-installed. If you're a bit tech savvy, you could always go into the files and delete the games you don't want. But with over 60k plus games, you'll be deleting a lot of games.
Hilarious! Man, you'd do well in entertainment /acting! Can't forget that young Green Tea... I haven't had that Green Tea from Kuwait in the green bottle since Kuwait. Good introduction to the Megacade video! Well done, bro.
Thanks bro! Working on this Netflix deal now. 😂😂😂 I could see myself having my own show. I had green tea last week. Joint be hittin' bro. I remember putting you on to them. Preciate u watching.
Yo DT thanks so much for making this vid!!! quick Q, did you backup your HDD in case it fails? or what would you do if your interior PC dies?
You're welcome! I've upgraded my HD from 8tb to 10tb. Then 10tb to 16tb. I usually keep the old hd's as a backup.
@@dthomasfromnc awesome thanks for the speedy response! So when you do these upgrades, are the new HDD's from EHA with the newer games installed? or generic HDD and you get the new games yourself?
Hey man! Just want to say thanks for making great content. I recently found your channel and am thoroughly enjoying it. I do have a question regarding the newer fighting games. Is there a way to play those online with your Megacade? As in start playing against other people online. Again, thanks for the content!
Sorry I'm just seeing this. But to answer your question, yes you can play the newer fighting Games via steam on the Megacade.
We at the comments are living the intro right now! 🤣
😂😂😂
do the coin doors work with coins?
Absolutely
Hey DThomas - Can you do a tour of your movie room? Looks pretty dope with all of your posters behind you.....
Thanks for the request! That's something I could do in the near future.
Fantastic video bro! SSS quality as always.
😂thanks bro! SSS reading I'll take it.
Finally getting my Megacade in about a week and a half,is it worth hooking up an external stereo with big sub or is it loud enough???
Its plenty loud with good bass, especially when playing. Volume controller is handy just under control panel so easy to adjust.
You're not going to need external audio at all. The speakers that comes with the Megacade are very loud. Trust me! Watch you'll see.
@@stillchasingcharlie9408 you're so right about that
Get me some of that stuff i used to eat all the time back in the day.....
🤣🤣🤣
That was my main concern about the megacade fit it in the house. But great....
It will fit easily
Does extreme home arcades offer financing options
Only require $500 down to get your order started. You can make payments while you wait (6-9 months).
DThomas, do you know if any of the COD series is available on any of the systems?
Yeah there are some COD games on PS2.
What up bro I’m in Jacksonville nc and am building a bartop arcade cabinet and want something better then the the raspberry pi 4 where can I find the image or hdd so I can stick it in my arcade cabinet??
What up! You can check out www.sharkade.co.uk as they sell their drives as a standalone product if I'm not mistaken.
@@dthomasfromnc do you have a instagram so i can chat with you more
@@Noizy_Katz yessir! @dthomasfromnc
I thought he was going to say something else at 6:44
🤣🤣🤣🤣I know exactly what you were thinking.

I cant wait to see your next video!! 💪🏽😎👍🏽

DThomas, great info as usual. Quick question. IS David thinking about a Tecnoparrot title to the wheel?
Thanks Jeff! I'm not sure if he is. But I can tell you that we have some awesome folks in the EHA/Megacade community who are putting something together to where we will see Technoparrot titles in it's own wheel.
@@dthomasfromnc That will be fantastic!
@@jeffhalko8011 it sure will be
6 monfs tho?? Danggg. Gaming is serious.
Yeah that is a long wait
DThomasFromNC yuppp
Are the buttons on the Megacade all premapped for each game or every time I chose a game I have to map the buttons? Thx!
The buttons should come already mapped to control panel and wireless controllers. However, in the event they are not, they are simple to map. Also, you don't have map the buttons every time you choose a game. That would get annoying real quick.
Great vids, I’ve watched several so far, a lot of good information and it’s also nice to watch the gameplay on these machines as well. Anyway, I’m thinking about purchasing a megacade. I’m just worried because I own a raspberry pi and some of my favorite MAME games don’t work like: Dragons Lair, Crusin USA, Primal Rage, and Killer Instinct. I also noticed they don’t have games like: Silver Strike Bowling, Big Buck Hunter, and Bags.
Do you know if those games work on the megacade? And I didn’t see Silver Strike Bowling in their game list. That’s basically one of the best bowling arcade games ever made. I’d want to buy one of these just for that game. Can they get games upon request if they don’t have them? I’m not sure if they use rasp pi or not, or if they have something better, or different, that’s why I figured I’d ask you. Thanks in advance.
What's up Gary! Primal Rage, Killer Instinct, and Dragons Lair are all on the Megacade. I've played them all and they do indeed work. Out of the three, Dragons Lair is the only one I find a bit funny. Also, Big Buck Hunter is on there as well. I'd have to check for Bags. If I'm not mistaken, Silver Strike Bowling is on there as well. A lot of games are not listen on their website as it is in much need of an update. You're welcome. Appreciate you watching.
i want it so bad but my parents said no
edit: can you pay monthly for it or yearly?
If I'm not mistaken it think it's $500 down the get your order started and in queue. You can pay on it over the course of your machine being built. Usually takes 5-9 months depending where you are in line.
Awesome info bro thanks for all you do for your retro heads out there.If you ever on Facebook check out the group Arcade 101 one stop shop we would welcome someone of your expertise on retro gaming etc. In the group
You're so welcome! And I'll definitely make sure to check out Arcade 101.
I have a Mame machine, which I got in early 2014, and wonder if it's possible to just order the PC, or whatever for this, which I can put in that instead? Or do you need to order the whole cabinet from them though? That and is there a way to restore the control inputs to default in the event you ever did mess them up by mistake, hypothetically speaking also?
You'd have to order a machine from them to get their particular setup and configuration. As for controls, everything comes default to work with the joysticks & buttons unless you ordered wireless controllers to go along with your build.
@@dthomasfromnc Thanks, and I was wondering if I could just order the system from them, and stuff? I guess that wouldn't be possible after all. That and if you did by mistake mess up the inputs, how do you get them to be restored to default for that matter as well?
@@freakyfornash the machine comes with a instruction manual. Also you could reach out to the owner for support. And there's a EHA/Megacade Community on Facebook where folks will help you with any issues troubleshooting your machine.
@@dthomasfromnc Cool, and I was just wondering if I ever got this myself too? The Mame machine I have is very good, even if it's so badly obsolete compared to this baby though! XD
Like tge art work
Thanks
Can I replace my buttons with rgb light buttons and if so is it easy
Sorry for thr late reply.. Yes you can change out the buttons if you like. And it's very easy. I did a video on it. Check it out here ua-cam.com/video/G6Fzsrihlcc/v-deo.html
Get that coin D !! Let’s get it homie!
Thanks bro! I really appreciate it.
Soon on B.E.T : Thomas in hs first one man show !
I like the way that sounds. I'll take a Netflix deal as while I'm at it.😂
Man I gotta ask, how long do you think it would take you to just scroll through all the games?
A very long time😂😂😂
So do you have to buy their wireless controllers or can you get your own? 90 seems high for one.
Did you consider getting a steering wheel? Thanks for the great content!
Naah I didn't care to have one
Are you an employee or head of marketing of the megacade company? If you don't, they got to hire you!
No I'm not an employee at all. Just a customer who's passionate about gaming. Maybe they should hire me. 😁
I must have watched your Megacade video on day one because I would have swore you had it longer.
It was like only an hour
New braids...who dis????
They're a bit old now. Getting them done again this Friday.
DThomasFromNC ohh ok
When i order the megacade how much time will it take (im from egypt)
As stated in this video, it could be a 6-8 month wait. It all depends on how many machines that would be in front of your yours. Shipping from the US to Egypt, not sure how long that is. Couldn't be no more than 10 days.
yo how much was it for your personal warp? just put a down payment on a megacade
Personal warp?
Hi thanks again for your time I wood like to see a video on to save your hi scores and all your favorite list on your hard drive before you send it to David I asked scantron 5k well l don’t think he has time so please thanks if you have the time I would say thanks again 😁
You're so welcome. A vid on high scores...gotcha! Gonna have to put that one in the pipeline.
🤣🤣🤣 That phone tho
😂😂😂who's using a house phone nowadays?
The last question tho 🤣
😂😂😂😂
Do you gotta pay money like it’s bills
U da mann!
😁✌🏼all for the love of the community
How much was your build?
$6500+
What!? You don't like lays, bruh it's all bout them lemon lays tho
😂😂😂I haven't tried those Lemon joints yet. Lays originals be hitting. It's something about those ruffles bro.
Hey Thomas! Thanks for the video. Can you play the gameboy games with joysticks? Is it enjoyable I mean? :)
Hello there! You're so welcome. Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, you can play Gameboy with joysticks. Definitely enjoyable. I'll do a video on it soon. Subscribe if you haven't already if you'd like to see .😁
@@dthomasfromnc That's awesome! I can't wait to see it! You have to show Pokemon on the joysticks! That must be SO much fun! :D
@@chibbimoon5214 it's pretty different playing with the joysticks but still fun.
Can you play every game with a joystick if you choose too?
great video
Thanks!
Hey this a great video. I'm thinking of getting one. Do you still play it a lot????
Thanks! And yes, I still play alot.
@@dthomasfromnc Thx for quick reply! Is it worth the cost? I feel like it is!!
@@blairwatt1099 you're welcome! I feel that the cost is worth it to me because I'm getting everything I want out of it. Reliving my childhood playing tons of games I grew up playing in the arcade...just so much fun bro. The price is steep.
Some would say it's not worth the price because you could simply build this machine yourself and come out cheaper. And you could. Any time you do something yourself you'd come out cheaper. So I agree 100%.
But dealing with game emulation and making sure everything works...it can be quite a task (and headache) that I'm not willing to put energy into at the moment. And with emulation, you will have little hiccups here n there. Everybody has a price they're willing to pay. Extremehomearcades.com isn't the only company making these arcade machines. I'd say shop around and see what other companies may have to offer. Some may have lower prices.
I'm happy with my purchase. If I had to do it all over again, I would. Extremehomearcades.com has some great customer service and there's an amazing community (on Facebook) surrounding these machines. I can't speak for other companies, but I'm loving my machine.
And you can see all of the videos that I've been posting on it. Been having a blast. Hope this answers your question. Didn't mean to write a book. Just wanted to let you know what's real.
@@dthomasfromnc right on man, thx alot for replying!!!
No problem
Yo D. Good video once again. Have you played cuphead? That game is super hard.
Thanks bro. And yes I've played Cuphead. It's a really dope game that'll test your skills. Luv it.
I'm so glad they throw in that $28 worth of T-molding in for free, lol
😬😬😬
Those arcade 1 ups look cheesy bro
🤣🤣🤣
Are there payment plans on this?
Yes from what I have spoke to David about he do payment plans
Minimum $500 down to get started with your order and you can pay on it over the months while your machine is being built.
Does the megacade have ps3
Yes! Check the video out here ua-cam.com/video/cNaYJSsbjoQ/v-deo.html

Okayyy 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
That's where you from! Ayeee!!!!!😁
DThomasFromNC you already knowwww
and now I see this Vid... lol 7:50
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man if I was rich...
If I was rich....I'd buy everybody who commented a Megacade.😂
D Thomas on my UA-cam channel my comments don't work on the UA-cam can you pls help me
It probably has something to do with your settings. Check and see if you have them turned on.
THEY WON'T SHIP TO FPO'S WHICH IS ON MILITARY BASES, AND NOT TO POST OFFICE BOXES!!!
They ship worldwide
Those are kiddo machines lol

Is this thing a chick magnet? Does it bring all the girls to your uh, game room?
Definitely a chick magnet!😂😂 I mean, who wouldn't wanna come to the game room and live your best life?
No women care about mine, including my wife. You'll attract dudes.
@@mamefan 😂😂😂😂 that may be true
@@mamefan a few months ago before I made my purchase my wife asked, "It's got all the House Of The Deads? I can shoot things?" Ah 💩; now that I think about it that's probably not a good thing. 🙄
@@RandomStuffByMe Your wife sounds cool. The guns might annoy her though. You def need crosshairs when playing.
Waste of time, bunk!
What ? 6500$+ for a megacade ?? At that price you can easly built one as good or even better for way way less $$$
Ive built one with a 32inch full hdtv, a computer with a sapphire rx580 oc 4go video card wich I can play all games in the world over 20000 including modern pc games. A xbox360,ps3,ps4 inside with led buttons for less the 700$.
Or even better guys Grab a arcade1up machine a 200$, order hdmi converter 35$, led buttons 45$ and a cheap pc to play all emulators and there you go ! For less 300$ you have a arcade with every game
6500$ ?!? For what ?
A lot of folks may agree with you that the price tag is steep for an arcade build. Some would disagree. I agree with you in a sense that if you built your own machine, you would definitely save a lot of money. But do a quick google search of other companies that offer home arcades and you will see that some are similarly priced if not higher. And then there are ones that are a lot cheaper but may not offer as much with the build and games.
Is it necessary for someone to spend $3 million on a car that literally does the same thing that a $15k Hyundai does (which is to get you from A to B)? 🤷🏽♂️ Now of course a $3M Bugatti is a rocket on wheels😂😂😂 but ultimately the car is for transportation just like that $15k Hyundai. Compnaies charge what they charge & folks will spend their money however they see fit. If it's within someone's budget and they like the product, its no question when it comes to the purchase. But I respect your opinion.
I'll be cheaper, but it won't be nicer or more comprehensive.
i guarantee you that.
