X-Cades What started out as a hobby, became a business idea. One day 🕹️🕹️

We still frequently grab a pint talking about the business idea, but it's still a hobby...

That said, we have become a rare duo with our knowledge of arcade machines and CRT monitors.

Whilst not officially supported by Gun4IR® these guns are awesome!

Namco Time Crisis clone lightguns (NAMED) with Gun4IR internals ready built. Only available on Ali Express and RPEG Electronics. £760 plus delivery on RPEG or a fraction of that with a 2 week wait on Ali.

Guns come with rumble and recoil solenoid, they are well built, heavy and come complete with 24v power bank for feedback, screen sensors and camera lens cover.

This will eventually be set up in a cab with a 25" CRT.

Powered by a PC running a 31khz resolution via CRT Emudriver and Retrobat lightgun edition frontend.

2 guns and 2 pedals for Time Crisis! Gonna be epic!!

This weekend has been spent finding a lightgun build and getting to grips with CRT Emudriver. Sourced an old monitor (Dell U2311HB) that will allow 31.5khz ready to pair with our VGA CRT 📺

Morty cade has been resurrected with fresh hardware and swapped out Coinops for Retrobat. Also replaced the cheap 'zero delay' encoders and replaced with Ipac2.

Not overly loaded this time, just a good selection of the best titles from each platform 🕹️🕹️

Doing bits today; built up a basic rig for an onging project, this will be paired with a 27" CRT running Batocera OS.

Spec;
CPU - AMD FX 8350
RAM - 32GB DDR3
GPU - AMD Radeon 200 series
SSD - 240gb (boot drive)
HDD - 1TB
PSU - EVGA 650w

AMD Radeon 200 series are compatible with CRTs with the correct driver to output 15khz, so makes for a perfect setup.

Despite not being a modern powerhouse, this will be more than enough for one of our best projects yet 🎯🔫

Loving the new Steam release of Terminator 2: 2D No Fate 👌

Playing it on the PC Based Morty cade is awesome!

Going old school beside it with Terminator 2: Judgement Day, on the Sega Megadrive from 1991, looking the best it can on a 1986 Sony Trinitron PVM 😍
