We offer three specialized services targeting the most common arcade cabinet hardware challenges. Each service can be implemented independently or combined for comprehensive cabinet optimization.
Control System Integration
Expert integration of joysticks, buttons, and specialty controllers with game software systems. We handle input mapping, calibration, and response curve optimization for precise player control. Our solutions support various hardware manufacturers ensuring compatibility and replacement flexibility.
What This Service Addresses:
- • Inconsistent joystick response and input lag
- • Button mapping conflicts across game titles
- • Dead zones affecting competitive gameplay
- • Calibration drift over time
Service Includes:
- • Complete input device assessment and baseline testing
- • Custom response curve configuration
- • Dead zone optimization and sensitivity adjustment
- • Multi-game profile creation
- • Comprehensive wiring documentation
- • Diagnostic tools and troubleshooting guides
Display Technology Implementation
Specialized services connecting modern games with various display technologies from CRT to LED. We optimize rendering pipelines for different display characteristics and refresh rates. Color calibration ensures consistent visual presentation across diverse monitor types.
What This Service Addresses:
- • Color banding and inaccurate visual reproduction
- • Screen tearing during fast motion sequences
- • Improper aspect ratio and scaling artifacts
- • Brightness inconsistency across different displays
Service Includes:
- • Display technology assessment and compatibility analysis
- • Professional color calibration to Delta E standards
- • Refresh rate optimization and synchronization
- • Scaling algorithm implementation for pixel art
- • Orientation configuration (horizontal/vertical)
- • Display maintenance procedures and settings documentation
Cabinet Cooling Solutions
Thermal management systems preventing hardware overheating in enclosed arcade cabinet environments. Our designs balance cooling effectiveness with noise reduction for pleasant gaming experiences. Smart fan control adjusts cooling based on component temperatures and ambient conditions.
What This Service Addresses:
- • Component overheating and thermal throttling
- • System crashes during extended play sessions
- • Reduced hardware lifespan from heat exposure
- • Excessive fan noise disrupting player experience
Service Includes:
- • Cabinet airflow pattern analysis and design
- • Temperature-controlled fan system installation
- • Thermal monitoring and alert configuration
- • Noise dampening implementation
- • Component temperature baseline documentation
- • Maintenance schedules and filter cleaning guides
Combined Service Packages
Many cabinet operators benefit from combining multiple services. We offer integrated approaches that address interconnected hardware challenges more efficiently than separate implementations.
