OP
I don’t have a paid account but it works for me. You do need an account though.

Hmm ok ta. Maybe it's the higher res versions that require a paid one.

Nice however there are some flaws with this build. I say this as I'm building my 2nd cab soon when I get some time.
Serial connection is better than usb because some games in usb there's a delay, this is detrimental to shooters etc.
The raspberry pi is not powerful enough to run all games without slowdown, I would use a more powerful pc with a basic gpu for 3d based games like tekken etc.
Finally the screen is a pc monitor and not a proper video games monitor with true scanlines.
Scanlines can be emulated but it's not quite the same, without a true video monitor like a wells Gardner then your skimping on your effort and final build which is great.

OP
- I don’t plan to play shooters
- It’s running a full PC with a 1050Ti
- It wasn’t built to be an arcade authentic cab- it needed to be relatively easy to move without it collapsing in on itself
- Scanlines don’t interest me

Just been checking this again as I've now got Bigbox premium but Emumovies vids still require a paid subscription. Not sure how you are getting these...?
Also this...

I'm just very reluctant to pay $60 for video snaps especially when I only want an arcade set. I already have a retropie video snap set but need to full 0.201 rom set snaps. Maybe I'll do them all myself lol.
Seems after checking I got a discount code with my Bigbox premium membership which takes it down to $45 or £36. Bit more palatable I guess.
