Love the Retro Shooter on the TV. It’s a big hit with friends and family. The buy stuff mod is just pretty costly to me. I guess I could go the stock route and all that. Thanks for putting time into reviewing this for us.
Great overview, buddy. I am really loving all the multicade options now. I really do spend more time on the multicade and the buystuff multi driver cabinet now.
Adding the joystick and buttons to that is genius. Makes it an incredible multi-cade. If I had a T2, I'd be going for this. Great video as always, Phil!
Hey Phil, If I get the RS gold kit, do the remotes still work with this mod? So I could just keep the stock T2 deck and use the remotes for the non light gun games. Thanks 👊
@Justinski85 hey Justin, yes there will be one usb input open if you do PDubs mod keeping the stock controls. The RS guns will sit good in the T2 holsters too.
Great Review PD7. This mod you did for T2 is insane. The replay value you’re getting with all those shooters. 😮. And watching you play I say the accuracy is spot on for all those shooters. Thank you so much for sharing.
T2 is the way with 19" Mod, Buystuff and these Retro shooters, I am on the look for the deal price, maybe T2 will hit Ollies at $299. Its great Phil, thanks for showing it!
Thank you Carl :) Who would’ve thought T2 would become the Ridge Racer or better for this fall. This is the ultimate having all of these to play, maybe we will get an updated sd card with more games down the road it would be really the only thing left :) I’ll keep my eye out but don’t forget Best Buy 315..
Wow, great presentation. I dont have this cab, but Im starting to think I NEED this cab. Now i just need to convince the wife that I need an 11th cab. Lol. Maybe I wont say anything. I'll just sit her down and say, "watch this video." That's a lot of value there! I noticed Yie Ar Kung Fu on the list too
Hey Phil I watched your T2 mod video order the retro shooter I like it waiting on Buy Stuff Store kit I went with the custom controller 2 player deck and the 19 inch monitor waiting for shipment your video was hard to say no but I went ahead and pull the trigger that was a big price to justify for your are a good salesman The gun kit plays great out of the box on the TV thanks for your videos
Hi DW, that’s great :) you’ll absolutely love the T2 kit! You have all 6 buttons a ton of games to play, I just found out there’s an update coming from Retro maybe we will get some more games. Thank you very much:) I really appreciate it 👊 with your 19” screen you’ll have a backup BOE monitor as a spare down the road too. Let me know how you like it, just take your time and plenty of light :)
A great informative video PD7! I was wondering if Buy Stuff has a games list? Also can you save progress in each individual game? Thanks for the video.
Thank you John, here’s a link that has pretty much the same games as the Retro Shooter Pandora’s box www.arcadecity.co.uk/games-list-of-the-3000-in-1-classic-arcade-machine-pandoras-box-dx-hd/ I don’t think we can save we can enter high scores, but when we exit and go back in they might disappear. Thank you for watching :)
I've been looking for a used "cheap" T2 cabinet to do this mod. I'm also looking for an ATgames Pinball mini. Maybe some Black Friday sales or used, either way not full price. Another great video! Have a great weekend!
Great video, brother... My question is to you why buy the time crisis when i can mod t2 cab and get all the shooting cab for the low price? Two, are you using the t2 guns or did buy stuff send you a set a guns include with the mod kits?
Thank you GCA, you absolutely do not need to buy TC with this. The Retro Shooter guns replace the T2 guns so we could either sell those or try out on TC just for fun on Steel Gunner. 2 reasons for me besides I’m addicted :) comparing the two which I can already tell you Retro kit is awesome and that arcade look man I just love the way TC looks.
Thanks Quarter Deck and for stopping by this morning :) That 2 player deck is perfect you’ll have everything you want to play. I hope you show a video on 19” monitor upgrade!
@@PDX7 Oh I'll do a video. Lots of upgrades to that arcade. I'm really looking forward to working on that. Glad I was able to join late. Had just finished an 11 mile run on the treadmill at the gym.
Just saw BSA now has this same mod but for SF2. That would work better for me. Esp since i dont have T2. It'll work with the stock deck and can play all the fighting games. You kept saying 500 some games, but its 500 some pages, with 10 games on each page. So 5,000 plus games. So much value. Ive been in touch with BSA, theyll come out with various SF editions. I wanted to check out this video again since i know I'm definitely getting this now for SF2. Just ordered the retro shooter.
I was totally wrong about the games lol it’s like 5000 games :) totally worth it I saw the SF also. Awesome pickup Eric! Are they in stock or does it say preorder at Retro?
@PDX7 it's still pre-order status. I have SF2 legacy, which I'm guessing that variation won't come out until early next year. I've been praying for a big mod like this. Lol. SNES, Atari 7800, 2,000 mame variations. Light gun games. Just wow!
Does it have Terminator Salvation? I'm wondering how hard it would be to mod the gun holsters into the front of the cabinet. I really want this with the 2 player deck and probably go ahead and get the 19 inch monitor too. Can you please measure the width of the holster for me? This mod turns a hardly played cabinet into a daily played cabinet. Awesome video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It doesn’t have T2 salvation, but you could add that 24.95 add on from retro at checkout that allows you to add more games. I’ll get the measurements in a little bit, Buystuff sells a few styles that match cab.
I picked up the T2 yesterday from Best Buy on sale thanks to your video dude Appreciate it I think I’m going to get the buystuff larger monitor n bezel n connect to my mini pc to play terminator salvation on there as well I may switch back n forth From pc to pandora so I can sometimes share the pc with another set up I just hate wasting The games look fine on the pandora N already the monitor uzis n pcb will be toast I may hang those on the back of a door or something idk 😂
Hi PD7, I’ve been going back and forth on retro shooter and time crisis been watching your video this weekend. How long did it take you to set up from start to finish retro shooter/buy stuff arcade? I was wondering are you able to put the back cover on T2 after the mod? Thanks
Hi Julio, it took me longer because of the video and having to clean out the monitor because of drilling those holes. I’m guessing it’s a 2 hour project took me 6 because of the video and tutorial. I have the back on, you have to cut a small notch on the bottom where those 3 notches are horizontal and feed those cords through and it will sit flat. Unfortunately that is the most annoying part :) it’s a rats nest of cords lol either retro kit or TC is a good choice you can’t go wrong it’s just do you want a multicade or Time Crisis
@@PDX7 Thank you PD7. I still want Time Crisis🙂. The way it looks next to Pac-Man XL is like having real arcades the form factor has come a long way for Arcade1up. I think retro shooter will be a great addition to just have in the game room on my 32 in tv. I Watch your walk and talk on my way to work this morning Congrats on getting the countercades can’t beat the prices kohls was offering.
@juliohernandez3668 perfect for your 32” just plug in hdmi and sensors in usb port and your set! Thank you Julio :) Countercades are coming back again 👊
Already have T2 and RS. Definitely purchasing thd Ultimate Deck. Would be a waste to not be able to play the non shooter games. I'm hoping for a black friday sale on the deck.
@Jrm0724 they aren’t yet, but I think buystuff could run cyber Monday deals like Amazon along with Black Friday. From here on out push any purchases back :)
@@PDX7 either way, I'm looking forward to it. I have Out Run and Star Wars also. Which mod do you prefer between the 2? Are they the same exact games list?
@Jrm0724 I prefer SW because there are more games, flight yoke handles great and you also get shooters with SW. outrun is good I had that kit for RR and I sold it because SW was that good :)
@@PDX7 Tganks for that info! Can we play with both T2 guns or side handguns? That would be awesome! I am researching myself but haven’t got a definite.
It looks like all they did was add a joystick control for the retro shooter and hook it to the monitor via hdmi conversion. I hope this "integration kit" isn't expensive.
I never thought I was interested in other games on T2, but they’re space savers Benji! Every iircade game I have is on here and most of the Hylox is too :)
Couldn't you connect a USB controller into the Pandora Box to play the arcade games that need six buttons? This is an incredible video Bro! The value of the T2 cab is totally worth it now! paPOw!!!! 💥💥👊💥💥
You can add a USB hub and plug in compatible controllers and they will work for the controller games. You can even plug in a Gamer Pro mounted on our Pedestal in front of the cab if you want. 🙂
Arcade 1up needs to come out with a hockey game it's ridiculous it's a Midway game that has the same button layout as NBA jam what's the best route to modify 1 and just make one from a NFL blitz cab with a raspberry pi or a iarcade and mod it with NHL Open Ice marquee and side art smh
@waterinthedesert81 I agree we need this with a slanted control deck, would be perfect next to NBA Jam and Blitz! Open Ice is on the gaming box, but I’m like you I want dedicated cabs too :)
I don’t think there is a list 83 games total, pretty much everything you can think besides Revolution X. I can answer a game you think about or you could email retroshooter.info@gmail.com for a list
@@PDX7 😊🤷♂ oh yeah oh buddy hell yeah : D super sick the screen size is amazing at 19 inch its glad you upgraded i want a T2 with 19 inch screen and retro shooter hehe now if they can do a sale again hehe did u see buystuff 2 player deck how it looks
@princevinny0073 it looks awesome it will maximize every game on the Pandora’s box. If you have the space to be able to mount lightguns on the side of the cab it’s perfect :)
@@PDX7 :D heck yeah would be kool its like haveing the Time cris machine / xmen 97/ terminator 2 all wraped up in 1 machine except no online watsover hehe :D
It works for Time Crisis and Big Buck Hunter along with T2. If you decided to upgrade your monitor to 19” screen for TC there’s a bezel that will match. Thank you for watching!
I don’t want to replace my stock guns and control deck. I like the arcade look of having the guns mounted on the control deck. Don’t like the holstered guns at all. Plus there’s no reason they couldn’t have made the guns wireless. Sure you get 509 games instead of just 1 but I’m oldskool and back in the day each arcade cab only had 1 game.
Yes it’s pricey especially if you don’t have a T2, you can always just pickup Retro kit for now and add into T2 down the road. There’s an encoder board from buystuff cheaper than deck allowing you to use your T2 controls too.
Love the Retro Shooter on the TV. It’s a big hit with friends and family. The buy stuff mod is just pretty costly to me. I guess I could go the stock route and all that. Thanks for putting time into reviewing this for us.
It’s awesome for the tv too :) either way we’re both totally enjoying this!
Great overview, buddy. I am really loving all the multicade options now. I really do spend more time on the multicade and the buystuff multi driver cabinet now.
Thanks Jesse, would you put this in Big Buck?
@@PDX7 Yees definitely.
Adding the joystick and buttons to that is genius. Makes it an incredible multi-cade. If I had a T2, I'd be going for this. Great video as always, Phil!
Thank you Andy! It’s good to have especially if we need to sell a cab or two chances are those games are on here.
Dude, this looks soo good! I'm going to be on the hunt for a T2 now to do this mod. The Buy Stuff guys are game changers!!
Hi Justin, I think Best Buy is still honoring $315 in store deal.. dude this is all I’ve been playing :)
Hey Phil, If I get the RS gold kit, do the remotes still work with this mod? So I could just keep the stock T2 deck and use the remotes for the non light gun games. Thanks 👊

Thank you Carl :) Who would’ve thought T2 would become the Ridge Racer or better for this fall. This is the ultimate having all of these to play, maybe we will get an updated sd card with more games down the road it would be really the only thing left :) I’ll keep my eye out but don’t forget Best Buy 315..
Wow, great presentation. I dont have this cab, but Im starting to think I NEED this cab. Now i just need to convince the wife that I need an 11th cab. Lol. Maybe I wont say anything. I'll just sit her down and say, "watch this video." That's a lot of value there!
I noticed Yie Ar Kung Fu on the list too
I hope it works :) remember T2 is 315 still instore at BB, these purchases can be broken apart next month retro kit then Buystuff deck :)

@DW-ur4xt I will 👊
Now we talking ty great video i was wondering how the multicade option would work ! As always your vids are awesome
Thanks Dave! Best thing to ever happen to T2 :)
I just came back from vintage fest at state fair they had some arcades and retro games
Nice! Always awesome to see :)
I love that single player deck. It’s not busy, it’s clean and it doesn’t look awkward at all
Man I do too, be nice if it had 6 buttons but I liked this look too much :)
Great review! Waiting on my retro shooter now.
Thank you, you’ll love it! Thanks for watching Finley 👊
Darn you @PD7...I just hit the order button. I went with the same setup as you plus added the 19" monitor.

It’s still on sale at Best Buy for $315

Where I can buy this game
Hi, here’s a link below
retroshooter.com/
🎉
So it is actually 515 pages of games which is 5150 games. Which is a looooot! Lol
Now that you say that I think your right 9 games per page 515 pages I’ve been saying this wrong lol
I forget the exact number, but it’s definitely over 5K
@apmartinez11 thank you :)
I don’t want to replace my stock guns and control deck. I like the arcade look of having the guns mounted on the control deck. Don’t like the holstered guns at all. Plus there’s no reason they couldn’t have made the guns wireless. Sure you get 509 games instead of just 1 but I’m oldskool and back in the day each arcade cab only had 1 game.
I completely understand and get it that’s the thing there’s a time for dedicated and multicades and I want both :)
Only problem is this setup cost $700 no thanks 😂
Yes it’s pricey especially if you don’t have a T2, you can always just pickup Retro kit for now and add into T2 down the road. There’s an encoder board from buystuff cheaper than deck allowing you to use your T2 controls too.
Told you lol 😂 glad you like it.. 👌🔥🔥🔥🔥😍🦾🦾🦾🐲🐲👊
