FIRST EVER GUITAR HERO ARCADE DIRECT VIDEO CAPTURE - Official Genuine Machine! - Proof Of Concept

Filmed August 2019, edited and uploaded June 2020.

Sorry if some of the wording in the video sounds goofy, I tried to be as explanatory and specific as possible.

Looking forward to doing livestreamed tournaments at my arcade for our Facebook page... always pushing the bar to have cool events, that's my reason for doing this. I look forward to doing some YouTube videos as well, but that's kinda secondary. Up next... Clone Hero on the arcade system (that's been done once before), but will likely run two separate computers in order to leave the official system unbothered and intact.

The original source for the “cracked” GH:Arcade was indeed a legitimate Raw Thrills install disc (which will install on a generic PC, it just writes a disk image). While I was not involved in the release that Mohkerz made other than giving a few ideas that I’d already encountered, I know that the common release is running on GH3PC with certain things bypassed that cause the game to crash or freeze (such as a freeze on Star Power activation). I do have a supposedly decrypted GH Arcade EXE but I haven’t run it as I was advised it may phone home.

Have you captured more footage from this cabinet? Captured footage of how the service menu looks like?

As far as that cracked version goes, yeah i'm pretty sure its GH3 PC in disguise since the warnings about missing controllers are nowhere to be seen, to start a game you have to press green+blue+orange and there's no multiplayer at all.

Do you know the specs for the pc inside the arcade????

This is awesome! Just curious, have you cracked open either of the controllers yet? I'm curious how they made those particular strumbars so heavy and resistant. I'm sure it was great for longevity, but it made playing stuff like Knights of Cydonia more difficult.
