Can you save your game progress?

Yes. Console and handheld systems support saving and loading so you can resume anytime.

Do your arcades save high scores?

Yes—persistent high scores are saved for arcade titles that support it.

Do I need to download games, or are they included?

They’re preloaded—12,000+ classics configured and ready to play; no downloads required.

Do you provide software updates?

Yes. Built-in Wi-Fi enables over-the-air updates at no extra cost.

How easy are your arcades to set up?

Plug in HDMI and power; it boots to our menu in about 10 seconds.

Can I add my own ROMs?

We lock that feature to keep the system plug-and-play and fully supported.

Why don’t you include N64 or PS2 games?

Those systems were built for complex controllers; they’re not a great fit for an arcade control layout. We include titles that play as intended on arcade controls.

Can I connect external controllers?

No—external USB or Bluetooth controllers aren’t supported on this model.

What hardware & operating system do your arcades run on?

Raspberry Pi 4B with a custom EmulationStation interface plus RetroArch/MAME on Raspberry Pi OS.

Quality Construction

Designed for lasting quality, the MEGACADE-32-2P arcade is constructed from ¾″ cabinet-grade maple plywood — the same material used by professional cabinet makers — chosen for its strength, smooth finish, and resistance to warping or edge blowout.

You won’t find any MDF, melamine, or particle board here. The result? A lighter, stronger cabinet that feels solid and looks incredible year after year.

Authentic CRT Look—On Modern Displays

Classic games were built for CRT screens, not pixel-sharp HD. Our systems include subtle CRT and handheld LCD shaders that recreate scanlines, phosphor glow, and slight geometry curve — so every sprite looks right and feels authentic.

James F. - East Harttord, CT

“Best order experience I’ve had. Upgraded my wall-mounted build to 4K/240Hz, 32GB RAM, 5TB NVMe, and an 8-core Ryzen. Packaging was excellent and the build quality is top tier. If you’re on the fence, buy it.”

“A little tricky at first for smaller kids, but they got it with practice. Big thumbs up!”

FAQs

Systems such as the N64 or PS2 were built for complex controllers with analog sticks and lots of buttons—far more than an arcade layout can support.

It's important to understand that while most arcades manufacturers may include these kinds of games to boost their game number count, they’re often unplayable or frustrating without the right control layout or hardware. We only include games that feel great and play as intended on a standard arcade control surface setup.

Our arcades are powered by a Raspberry Pi 4B running a custom setup based on Raspberry Pi OS. The system features a heavily modified version of EmulationStation for the user interface, combined with RetroArch and MAME to support a wide range of classic arcade and console games. It’s fully optimized for performance and ease of use, with numerous enhancements and customizations beyond standard distributions.
