I had this NES bartop Idea after seeing the release of the Nintendo Classic, especially when they’re so hard to find in stores and prices are so high in the aftermarket.
Sideart was printed by Joe Szabo from Szabo’s Arcades. Once again, he came through with fantastic work and quick shipping.

For all the people complaining about sound - I'm not an expert in making videos. This is one of the first videos I have ever made and wouldn't have known at the time how to balance audio. I will be sure to learn how and work better on keeping the noise level better moderated in future videos.

@RadicalDe2 7 лет назад

Don't worry. People like to complain on RU-vid. You're very talented and your video is good.

@DirkMade 7 лет назад

Thanks, I just keep seeing the same criticism so I wanted to address it.

@ThePazuzu 7 лет назад

Dude, your video is awesome, what sound?

@ugzz 7 лет назад

I was reading this comment wearing headphones and was turning it up, then the saw started and i realized what the complaints were for lol. Eh, it's how you learn. i can't make videos for shit either, but you might consider putting a warning about the jarring volume transitions in so headphone users don't blow their ears out. That is one badass project, and i'm glad to have watched it.

@02stampede 7 лет назад

I don't care about sound. Your skills are solid. Did you ever think of a way to bolt down the joysticks?

@Lasjah 7 лет назад

That is the best looking retro cabinet I have seen to date, and using the NES joystick controllers was genius. You can't hear it but I'm applauding you my friend.

@DirkMade 7 лет назад

@thebandit1324 4 года назад

Thanks for that! Very nice work. I am toying with the idea of making on but currently looking at whether to use original controllers but then you are limited to using only one emulator. Too many options lol.

@DirkMade 7 лет назад

Phil Pinsky Productions I waited a long time before I started my first one, which i built with very limited tools on my deck in a small townhouse. You can do it. Just get started.

@SPENCERH30 7 лет назад

DirkMade How much did it end up costing? And how long did the whole project take?

@DirkMade 7 лет назад

SPENCER HEISLER I re-used a lot of stuff and had the screen already so cost is hard to really compute. Outside of drying time, maybe 10 to 12 hours all combined? There's lots of things to do though if you are making artwork, computer setup, planning controls, etc.

@SPENCERH30 7 лет назад

DirkMade True.

@MK-qo1rz 7 лет назад

Phil Pinsky Productions it'd easer than it seems! get some big bords of card from the supermarket "for free" and work out a good design...copy that on to 1cm ply cut it out by hand saw, then a rasburry pi zero 3 and some zero delay joy stick board 2 cheap sticks and 6 to12 buttons 1 start p1 p2 you can pick up a cheap screen from a boot sale... I did my one for under £50!

@bbay1977 Год назад

Years later and I still keep coming back to watch this build. I still have dreams of building my own one day. I have been hoarding laptops and parts over the years. I want mine to house a 32 inch tv though and the control panel to have arcade sticks with 2 buttons for each player. Your build is the only build that comes close to what I'm looking for when it comes to a bartop build. I want a bartop for ever console ever made and will end up building them, I just need to keep pushing myself forward 😆.

Dude, the sound that people are complaining about is actually the flapping of heavenly angels delivering unto man the coolest NES creation ever! Serious props man! You should totally make and sell the cabinet parts as a template for DIYers with no real woodworking skills. In other words, let me know if you ever decide to sell templates.

I'm surprised Nintendo didn't make these NES bartop arcade machines for the consumers during the 80s-90s. Back then, it would've had a crt monitor instead of an lcd.

@PaperizedCrafts 7 лет назад

Amazing! I like how you reused the old joysticks. Well done!

@Victor32179 7 лет назад

Am I the only one who loves the fact that it seems like you can pull out the joysticks. It allows for more room if the two players wish to have it.

@DirkMade 7 лет назад

Exactly why they aren't glued or otherwise fixed in place like people have suggested I should have done.

@brianespinoza7331 7 лет назад

MexieDoesGaming .. Initially I thought he should have covered there original joystick to make it look more like a arcade but since you brought the fact that you could pull them out I realize that's the ticket right there

@oh-totoro 7 лет назад

It's awesome to see children of that age genuinely enjoying playing retro 8-bit games. The arcade looks incredible, wish I had the means or ability to create one myself.

@commodoremax7995 7 лет назад

I just found this video and I like how everything went along and worked out great in the end. I also like how everything is customized. You didn't take any shortcuts in this project and it ended with an awesome unit. My biggest horror with every project are the labels. No matter how careful and planned you are, air bubbles and wrinkles work hard to get you. At first, I thought the controllers would have looked better if they were customized as well and you could have given them the NES look with a printed controller panel. But then I realized that the authentic controllers gave it that nice nostalgic look. Great work and video.

@aeonjoey3d 4 года назад

amazing, the only thing i'd suggest is using a heat gun (or hair dryer) to pull the vinyl around the edges, this let's them have a bleed under the edging for appearance, seals better because the heat activates the adhesive better, and proofs it against peeling up and ruffling.
