Under The Hood
Why Our Systems Are Different

Every Paradox cabinet runs on a proper gaming PC — not a Raspberry Pi, not a cheap Android board. That matters more than most people realize. Here's why, and what you're actually getting inside every machine we build.

PC vs. Raspberry Pi

Most budget and mid-range arcade builders use Raspberry Pi because it's cheap and easy. We use a full Windows gaming PC in every cabinet. The difference is night and day — not just in raw performance, but in what games you can actually play, how they run, and how long the machine stays relevant as new games and emulators evolve.

Configured, Not Just Installed

We don't just throw an emulator on a drive and ship it. Every machine is fully configured in-house — front-end, emulators, controls, shaders, game artwork, light gun profiles, and racing wheel calibration. Everything is tested before it leaves the shop. You plug it in and play. No SD cards to flash, no configs to tweak, no forums to dig through.

🎮 19,000+ Games From Pong to PS2, arcade boards to home consoles — all organized, artwork complete, ready to play.
📺 CRT Shaders Custom scanline and warmth shaders recreate the look of a real CRT on modern LCD hardware.
G-Sync / VRR Variable refresh rate passes original game timings to the monitor. Games run exactly as designed — no judder, no compromise.
🔧 Remote Support We can log in and diagnose or fix your machine remotely. Real support from the team that built it.
🔫 Light Gun Ready Recoil light guns fully configured across 300+ compatible titles. Plug in and shoot.
🏎️ Racing Wheel Calibrated Force feedback wheels calibrated and mapped across dozens of racing titles before shipping.
