Haha, "Pac-Gentleman" haha.
6:54 LOL
did anyone call?
90% of the comments are
BUT CAN IT RUN CRYSIS?
Uhm?, Any computer that's homeless? LInus? anyone?
Man, these tips are retarded. Holy cow!
Ordered from the UK? There are a number of US sellers for arcade joysticks and buttons. If you can't find them on google, you didn't look very hard.
wtf it's still faster than my pc
I think this will get more popular when Ready Player One comes out next year.
Don't you dare calling my i5 2500K geriatric! I love it! I would even marry it if I could!
1:14 No GPU Power Cable!

Ha ha this cracked me up.
Just appreciating Tokyo Machine music in the background <3
just get a rasberry pi…
No reason to have the board attempt to do everything. Most you are going to need is enough buttons to play KoF and SF.
I do like the toggle 4-gate/8gate switch tho.
lol bigblue tore this guy a new asshole go watch video youtube channel
Big Blue Frontend — name of video Cumpuzit video .
@ 6:53 I think it's really great that you are now employing people who have down syndrome.
Did anyone else actually called that number like I did? 🤣
S Video is shit, RGB or gtfo.
Also you actually need a very powerful PC if you plan to keep up with the latest mame builds/romsets and if you plan on running fully cycle-accurate emulators like Higan for SNES for example.

8:35 My family still has that exact same TV on the left. It's a nightmare to play anything on.
Best video in months Linus. Keep posting vids like this and try to eliminate the modern "WOW" style ones. Thx
Wait what do they do other than this
Shit's LITT!
pause at 4:50
I've been looking into a mini arcade cabinet for a long time now. Maybe its time to get back on the project!
you should start selling these 🙂
