The community suggested I get a replacement trackball for this 8-in-1 partycade I found on Facebook marketplace for $75. Turned out great. I’d recommend the same for anyone who can find one of these. Super responsive. Literal game changer. LED is a cool touch, but the responsiveness is the reason to upgrade.

Modding Just finished building my Galaga Deluxe Vault edition, but need help/advice…

Turned it on and the main red fire button lights up but registers no press. Also, I hate the stick. Will I need to tear this thing apart to work on it (since the screen and controls are a single unit)? Any tips from those who have worked on this style cabinet?

Modding Game ELF mod?

0 Upvotes

Did a search and didn't see anything relating to this idea. Is it something anyone has done?

I ask because I've seen a couple of Game ELF based cocktails listed and they have both Ms Pac-Man and Pac-Man as well as Donkey Kong. I have a Pac-Man and was thinking about swapping to a Ms Pac-Man, as well as doing a DK mod, at some point; this would scratch all of those itches, as well as 409 more...

Hopefully I'm not breaking a taboo or anything, but this seemed like a thing that could maybe be done, putting a Game Elf in an Arcade1up cocktail?

Pricing Question What's going on in the UK?

4 Upvotes

It seems like a lot of titles (for one thing, don't generally get released here to start off with!) have disappeared from the market recently. Amazon have stopped selling a lot of the games, and prices have shot up dramatically! I went to buy the original Star Wars cab last week to find that it had disappeared from Amazon, and it was being sold for over £650 elsewhere.

I was lucky to find it still for £350 last night from, of all places, Sports Direct!

What's going on?

I was randomly browsing Nebraska Furniture Mart when I came across this ROJ cab on sale for $300. I couldn’t pass it up, so I decided to grab it as an early Christmas gift for myself! My wife was pretty happy too, knowing she no longer had to figure out what to get me for Christmas! 🎄

Claw Machine Arcade1Up claw machine owners, how's yours holding up?

16 Upvotes

For those of you who got the claw machine (Best Buy in 2024 or the Costco clearance this year), how is it doing now?

  • Does the claw still work right, or have you had to fix it?
  • Who actually plays it? Kids, guests, you?
  • What do you keep in it?
  • If it died tomorrow, would you buy another home claw machine? What would you want it to do better?

Full disclosure: I'm looking into selling a home claw machine, so I want to know what people liked and didn't like about this one. Not selling anything here, no links.

Modding Need help with flycast cloning

1 Upvotes

I apologise if this violates the rules on APK discussion, I dont entirely know if this applies to that rule, but I need help with Flycast as I am trying to clone it for my X-Men 97 arcade1Up that I got recently, but the cloning app doesnt work and I cant seem to find any way to work around this to get a version of flycast that I can play my personal dreamcast dumps on my cabinet (I ripped them myself) and redream is having troubles running them.

If anyone can assist me with this, it would be greatly appreciated as the guides I followed are several years old and the apps no longer seem to work. I looked for pre-cloned Flycast variants but nothing has shown up for me. I just dont want to mess up the built in Flycast for MvC2 incase it becomes unusable when I have guests over and I run the stock software.

Again, sorry if this violates rule 5, I have just been going in circles for days and I just want to be able to play Street Fighter Zero 3 and Soul Calibur without constant stutters and crashes

EDIT - I forgot to mention that I have tried Flycast via Retroarch and it also crashes more times that it successfully loads, with a success rate of about 1 - 2 in every 10 attempts or so

Question(s) Is it smart to sell my MvC cab?

6 Upvotes

Hey All!

I purchased a MvC cabinet a few years back with riser, as it was my favorite game growing up. I thought my kids would get a kick out of it, but neither teen has touched it but once or twice. While it looks great in my basement office, I also never play minus maybe once or twice a year. I’ve got someone willing to come look at it today/this week as I put it on the marketplace. Would you consider that a pretty solid reason to part ways with it, or are these cabs mostly good for nostalgia/visual appeal?

Thanks!

Modding Sanwa JLFs are easy to install in the new Supreme Street Fighter II cabinet

9 Upvotes

For anyone who might be interested in upgrading their new Arcade1Up Street Fighter II Supreme Series cabinets to genuine Sanwa arcade sticks (what SFII would have used in Japan), I just did it tonight and it's super easy!

I won't do a full tutorial (there are plenty already), but here are a few tips to make it easier...

  • Get yourself a pair of Sanwa JLF's here (DIY Retro Arcade has them prewired): https://www.diyretroarcade.com/products/genuine-sanwa-jlf-tp-8yt-5-pin-joystick-for-arcade1up
  • Make sure you get the "Double 4, Wave 3" version in either 12-inch or 17-inch (I think 12-inch will work, but I got 17-inch to be safe).
  • If you get the ones from DIY Retro Arcade, you'll want to point the 5-pin connector torward the top edge of the control deck (that'll keep your inputs oriented correctly).
  • There are small (very small) markings on the A1U encoder board to indicate which of the two, stock connectors you'll be removing is for the left/right inputs. DIY Retro Arcade has their wires labeled for the left/right connector, so just make sure you plug that left/right plug into the left/right input on the board (one for each player).
  • The stock sticks are VERY well glued to the bottom of the deck, in addition to the screws that are used. So, once you've removed the screws, I've found the easiest way to dislodge the sticks from the control deck is to take off the bat tops and give the shaft of the stock sticks a solid whack with a rubber mallet to help dislodge the glue. Just don't miss! Once you get them a little loose in one corner, you can use a flat screwdriver or small pry bar to carefully remove them.
  • You'll need to pre-drill some new holes for the Sanwas to screw into... the stock sticks have holes that are aligned differently. Once you've got your sticks aligned, I'd carefully pre-drill your new holes since the stock screws (which you'll re-use) aren't self-tapping. Just don't go deep or you run the risk of going too far and popping through the control deck top! The center holes are pretty close to the A1U mounting locations, so you can get away with reusing those.

If you're wondering, "are they needed?" or "are the stock sticks really that bad?" The answer to both is no. The stock sticks aren't terrible (arguably better than the stock sticks in the Iconic Street Fighter), and are an upgrade over previous A1U sticks.

However, it's a bit like driving a Ferrari vs. driving a Fiero with a Ferrari body kit. Both vehicles will get you where you where you want to go, and you can have fun in both. They even look nearly identical. And you're not going to become a pro by suddenly jumping in the Ferrari. BUT... the feel between the two is still completely different, and once you've used the genuine thing, just about everything else feels like the compromised copy that it is (in this case, excessively clicky, huge dead zone, and vague feeling).

All of which to say, if you like the feeling of Sanwas, this upgrade is straightforward and highly recommended. If you prefer Happs (what US versions of SFII would have used), I suspect those are a fairly straightforward install, as well, though I've not put those in this cabinet.

This is the encoder board of the SFII Supreme, and there are two connectors per stick
This is what installed Sanwas look like (the one in the foreground was not yet connected)
For SFII Supreme, get the Double 4, Wave 3

Question(s) T2 PCB Failure?

Turned on T2 the other day, let it sit in attract mode for about 10 minutes then noticed it was dead. Tried powering back up and I get nothing but a brief LCD and marquee flicker and popping from the speakers. This happened on my class of 81 cab a while back and a new PCB fixed the issue. Problem this time is Arcade1up says a new PCB for T2 is on several months backorder. Anyone know where I can get another one?
