00:00Alright, so you wanna build your own arcade cabinet, or maybe you're finally upgrading that old Pandora's box you've had
00:05collecting dust.
00:07Either way, I just spent the last week digging through the internet, and I found the absolute best deals on
00:12the top 5 arcade buttons in JAMA game boards that you can buy right now.
00:16Whether you're a seasoned pro at wiring up main machines or this is your very first DIY build, I've got
00:22something on this list that is going to make your life so much easier, so let's get into it.
00:26First up, we have the unsung hero of every arcade build, the wiring.
00:31This is the full 56-pin JAMA harness wire wiring loom extender.
00:36Look, if you've ever bought a cheap board and realized you don't have the right cables, you know the pain.
00:41This is a direct plug-and-play solution for your Pandora's box or those 60-in-1 boards.
00:47It's super affordable at just $17.45, and with nearly 5,000 sold and a 4.8-star rating, it's
00:54pretty much the community standard.
00:57It saves you hours of stripping wires and soldering, so for less than 20 bucks, it's a no-brainer to
01:02keep your sanity intact.
01:04Next up, if you're building a two-player setup, you need to check out this two-player arcade kit.
01:10It comes with two joysticks that feel just like the classic Sanwa ones, clear push buttons, and this really cool
01:16zero-delay USB encoder.
01:18This is the easiest way to connect your controls to a PC or a Raspberry Pi.
01:23You literally just plug the wires into the encoder, plug the USB into your computer, and you're done.
01:29It's only $23 for the whole kit, and with a 4.9-star rating from almost 5,000 buyers, you
01:35know the quality is solid.
01:37It's the perfect starting point for a fighting game setup on FightCade.
01:42Now, let's talk about the buttons themselves.
01:45If you're looking to add some color to your control panel or just replace some mushy old switches, you need
01:50these copy Sanwa OBSF 30mm push buttons.
01:54These are 30mm buttons, which is the standard size for most fighting games, and they have that satisfying, clicky response
02:01that Sanwa is famous for.
02:03The best part?
02:04What? They are only $3.69.
02:08I mean, come on, that is a steal.
02:11They racked up a 4.9 rating because they are durable, they look great in a multi-cade setup, and
02:16they are perfect for anyone doing a DIY build on a budget.
02:20Okay, moving on to the hardware that powers the whole thing.
02:23If you want to play actual Neo Geo cartridges or JAMA boards on a modern TV without lag, you need
02:29a SuperGun.
02:31This JAMA box is a 15-pin Neo Geo MVS connector motherboard that supports ATX power supplies.
02:37It gives you RGB, AV, and even S-video output.
02:42It's priced at $36.77, which is a fantastic price for a SuperGun.
02:48It has a 4.6 star rating, and it's the perfect bridge between retro hardware and your living room setup.
02:55If you're a collector with original boards, this is the missing link you need.
03:00Finally, the heavy hitter.
03:02If you don't want to mess with individual cartridges or complicated wiring, you want the 29800 and 1Saga Box DX2+.
03:11This is a monster of a mainboard.
03:13It's a JAMA version that supports HDMI, VGA, and CRT outputs, meaning it works with almost any monitor you have
03:20lying around.
03:22It has nearly 30,000 games built in, so you will never get bored.
03:26It's priced at $41.44, which is incredible for that much content, and it holds a solid 4.8 star
03:33rating.
03:34It's the ultimate plug-and-play solution for a full-sized cabinet.
