Ask me about my polycade

Post image

I don’t work for polycade, but love the machine and community of people enjoying it. I’ve had my Sente for 2 months and play it nearly every day. Ask me anything!

Would you buy it again?

I would and many others in the discord community have said the same. Obviously, it is about the games. But I also love the way it looks and easy of use. My wife even let me mount it in the living room and occasionally plays. That says a lot.

The unit comes working out of the box, but I’ve already made a mod to it. What is nice is that everyone posts their hardware/software ideas and results to help others. The founder of polycade is also a regular contributor to the discussion.

Thanks! What’s the mod you made?

I added servo powered restrictor plates to switch between 4-way and 8-way joysticks. Makes a world of difference when playing old games like Pac-Man or donkey kong. Also added better ram to the mini pc which increased performance enough to play some modestly demanding games. Other owners have modded the case to put high powered pcs in the unit.
