Wow, you made this seem a lot less difficult and something no one has posted yet. I hope people get to see how great your channel is. Thanks so much again and for taking the time for your subscribers. Cant wait to get my hardware in so I can start playing.
One more thing. I havent seen anyone do this yet, but I was going to do this to mine. I saw a street fighter display at Walmart and how bad the graphics were getting on the controller board from so much use. I was thinking while i have the board all apart I would get some clear vinyl and cover the whole controller board so it wont ever peal off.
You are going to love it. Honestly the hardest part of the whole thing was trying to figure out where to put the usb encoders on that small dash, and that is just a will the wires reach this far kind of thing. I just thought why not just make it easy for people, and make the final steps after that etaprime video on the hardware on how to finish this arcade 1up machine easy. I am now going to try to personalize it more for the machine itself maybe making some Arcade 1up Splash screens, and screen savers. I have also had a request on how to create your own images for others to burn I may do this with my own 128 Gb image soon.
@@moton410 Lol I have a video of clear coat on the control deck. It turned out good. Yes clear vinyl would be even better, but they are both kind of a mute point. This is because now Arcade 1up is offering clear plastic covers for free. (They do TAKE FOREVER TO GET HERE.... I am still waiting for mine) Just send a email to there customer service or call and they will send it out in 6 weeks. Just say you saw the ones at walmart, and have started to see the decal rubbing off.
@@ValkyrieVewas I actually bought two 128gb sd cards this weekend. Curious about that though. So if the image is 128gb and you need space for retropie as well and the card doesnt typically have 128gb even though it states 128gb. Does that mean you need a larger card? Or is the image around 100gb, but saying 128gb, because that's what you really need to stay efficient? Am I making sense? Lol
@@moton410 if you bought a 128 gb and you dowload a 128 most of the images that say they are 128 will work. They are compressed a little. Like 100gb and then decompress to size of card on first boot. I have a 128 image on my 128 card.
Just finished my mod and got my arcade 1up cabinet running thanks to your instructions ! Followed eta prime and your advice and got everything setup in no time ! You made it incredibly easy!! Thanks for your help !
Great tutorial sir! I lucked out and picked up an Arcade1Up Street Fighter version for $199 when Wally World dropped the price... Using ETA Prime's suggestions for R-pi and button config! Look forward to your new vids! Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much! Yah i should have some more time for videos come new year. The mix of RL work and family makes things hard to get a good content video together.
I'm with ya! I have a channel of my own and it is hard to blend family and work! Hope you get to your goal of 1000 subs soon! I'm closing in on a 100.. :) Baby steps they tell me.. :)
thanks for posting. Im am currently at the tail end of installing my retro pi with 11000 games on it and this was relieving to watch...especially how I saw just a glimpse that the dragons lair and space ace were on these retro pi's..Thanks again
Thank you. Please note those laser disc games sometimes require setting up controls by editing the config file using a computer (after you have connected it to WiFi ) you should be able to find a video how to but if you cant i can try to make a write up
Great video Boss. Even though I already modded my cabinet, you helped me out a lot with this one. Thanks! I used the exact same image for my cabinet. Every game so far plays fine.
Thanks NewB Dakoda! I have been looking for what I believe is the most easy to set up image. That also fit the system super well all arcade games! I wanted to find one the person with little knowledge of setting these types of things up could do easy. This image only really needed the controls setup and the screen bezels removed, and it has a easy way to do both built into it! Most likely the last of the how to videos, and I can get into getting things like harder to setup stuff. Also may make a why buy a Playstation classic video... Was so upset with that game list and the interface.... ANYWAY Thank you so much or your support!
@@ValkyrieVewas yeah man, this has to be one of my favorite images! when I saw the list for PlayStation classic I was pretty upset too I mean PS1 is my favorite system of all time! So the Classics list was a bit of a letdown but I imagine someone will get their hands on it and hack it like they did with the SNES and the NES Classics! LOL. Long Live Us Video Game nerds, haha!!!
@@nathanrivera7895 Yah I was going to make a video crying about how bad the list was but felt it was beating a dead horse...Have you seen the interface, i mean it might not be final but it looks soooo Blah... I am wondering if the japanese games will have english options in games but I don't think that was really a thing during ps1 and sega saturn. Hopefully someone will hack it but what is the point of rushing out to buy it in stores I may just wait to pick it up second hand.... Or I might make a video lol
Thank you so much for your praise. Tried to make it simple and easy to set up. I also have a bigger image on a different video once you do this one, and get the experience. This one is really easy to get up, and running.
Thanks so much.....👍🏽little mistake... I was not plugging it ... to the right input on the monitor... it has 2 little aux... inputs...or least they look similar.....😜....I follow your tutorial and made my mod easy.... thanks again
Rival, Great videos (saw your 128gb one too). I am in the process of doing the 128gb image. I see you have other videos for adding games, which should be easy enough by watching them. My question though is: Most emulators I have used, they offer save state and load state functionality for NES, SNES, Genesis, etc. Does this image allow for save/load states? Can I set it up in the individual emulator controller settings? For example: NES only has 2 buttons: B & A. For the NES games, can I set the lower left button for B, lower middle button as A, and assign Save State to Fierce and Load to Round House? Any recommendations for adding S/L state functionality for SNES (without having to add another set of buttons)? Thanks in advance!
Yep, Save states there is a quick button combo (you will likely hit it sometime lol) But you can bring up retroarch config while in a game by pressing Select + X (I believe it is X) but just press the Select (Coin button) + the face buttons and it will pop up. (also quick save is also one of those Select + A) i want to say. You can also edit buttons in that menu and other things it is the same menu you see me bring up in many games to mess with ratio etc.
Rival Boss, thanks for the info. I did come across that hot key save function. However, i added an additional 2 buttons on the player 1 side that I would like to assign as dedicated Save State / Load State buttons. I am able to access the specific emulator menu by Hot Key + X, but i can’t seem to find a way to assign save/load states to specific buttons (i have been able to do this with any other emulator easily but it escapes me in this one). Any advice? A few more things of note while setting up last night: 1) the screen for the gameboy is shifted to the right by half (left edge of gameboy screen starts in the middle). How would i fix this? 2) save states are are kept indefinitely for each game correct? Save state 0 in one game is not the same as 0 in another? 3) how does save functionality work for systems that utilize memory cards? (Psx, sega cd, Dreamcast). Do i his save state? 4) i May have missed this in your videos, but some of the game information on the menu screen is overlapping by 2-3 characters. Any advice? 5) more of a comment: Omega pie does not have a retro bezel option. To remove the bezels of NES, SNES, etc, i found them in configuration ES settings. Under each one, turn the overlay option from true to false (some like sega cd are default unassigned so no bezel would appear). Also the controls of up and down are backwards in these settings menus and you have to trick the controls to highlight “cancel” to go back a screen. Thanks again my man...keep the good videos and information coming !
Thanks for the video. Is it possible to add/remove games and systems? Can I remove the bezel art to make space available for new more obscure ROMS that I want to add?
Hi Rivalboss, Great video thanks! Everything is quite clear but i still have a question.. do i leave the sd card in the raspberry pi forever or do i remove it after the installation is done..?? I don't think the pi has any storage so i think i need to leave it in but i'm not sure.. Can you help me out?!
Thank you it means alot! It is awesome to get good feedback on trying to start up this channel. I have had a few good suggestions on future videos stay tuned :)
Hi, great video. Thank you for sharing. May i ask how do you boot into Emulation Station straight after booting up the pie. I like the look of Emulation Station more than Attract Mode. Thank you.
@@ValkyrieVewas Great! Thank you so much for your quick reply. I am looking forward to the up coming video. Keep up the great work!!! btw... Merry X'Mas. :)
@@friedrice5292 I will try to do a to emulationstation video or at least tell you how to do it. I am working a "Better Playstation classic" video with a new image I found, and a ps3 controller video next then I can do a how to video.
@@ValkyrieVewas okay sounds good. I am still modding my Arcade1up cabinet. If possible, i would like to know how to boot up Emulationstation straight when power up on that image. Thank you again.
7:04 Same screen pops on my arcade1up when I put in my 256gb sd card on my raspberry pi 3b. So should I type the same as you did any help???? Bought my 256gb from amazon and its fully loaded retropie sd card.
Thanks for the info about seting this up. I have an issue with no sound. Yes I went into settings and turned volume up/etc. On reboot I get an error" volume control failed to find mixer elements... If i go into Main menu it only shows sound and quit. I think it is missing something in start up. If I go into retropie and go to setup/ update will I lose all of the games/mess it up? thanks Dave
Watched your video after I watched ETA Prime's to do my inital install. Between the two videos, I am 99% set now. THANK YOU so much for this video! I have a couple of minor issues that I thought I'd ask. If you don't know the answer, no biggie. One is that I was checking Lunar Lander (it's in Atari Classics) for someone else and there's still a bezel even though I turned off all the bezels in your video. Any wild idea where I need to go to turn off that bezel? Second; I mapped my controls the way you did in this video which are working perfect for most games. They are out of whack for Mortal Kombat II though, so I watched your other video and went in to re-map the controls. I still can't see to get them right though because I don't know that menu well enough. I'm not asking you to do an MKII specific video for controls but thought I'd ask if you might know what button I need to assign to which control in the menu to get close to the arcade set up. In any case, thanks again for the videos in the first place!
Watch the video i just put up about the dynamo arcade. In it i show a different way to disable all bezels in all emulators. Via retropie settings. See if that works. Also if you press the select and x (just keep hitting face buttons and you will find it.) You will get into retropie setting where you can set custom controls for each rom.
I installed rasbeey pie in my 12 and 1 how do map the controls for games like asteriods. Also how to I make it regonize the track ball and spinner. I had to splice them into 2 pin vs the original 4. Due to new control board?????????
If wired correctly when you set up 1st player controls it should mirror those controls to the 2nd player. If the buttons aren't the same you have the wires on the buttons connected to the usb encoders wrong.
Thank you for the video so once I flash SD card and have followed ETA prime video just put card in pi and configure? Is there anything else I need to do to pi before installing?
I mean u had to downloaded /unzipped / flash, but nope thats it enjoy the games. If you do have any questions feel free to ask. Oh and if you did find this video helpful please like and subscribe it really helps. Good luck with your mod !
I need help please: in your control panel, how do you have your wires plugged into the USB encoder and the buttons/joysticks please. The only issue I am having with my mod is the controller set ups. Thank you
Great video, quick question tho... ive set up everything using raspberry pi 3 and just flashed image from arcadepunks onto sd card but when i put it in my pi and turn everything on, nothing happens, my screen stays black and my led buttons wont light up. Any ideas???
I mean things can happen in the download and the flashing have you tried redoing it all. Also make sure the image is made for the Pi you are using, and make sure any image works (My 1000Sub image I know works)
Question-I just burned the wolfanoz 32gb image to an sd card and inserted my raspberry pie, but when I went to burn it I got an error message saying the image was not bootable...is this normal? When I flashed the card and installed it into my Pi, I get nothing...is there supposed to be a boot screen or something?
Not normal. Yes you should get a boot screen. Sometimes it can take a few mins before anything comes up. Is this your first time installing a image or are you reflashing. Did you use the below programs. Also if you cant get this image to work someone made a arcadeone wolf 32gb image also on arcadepunks pi images.
@@ValkyrieVewas I got the image from arcade punks...so I can just load the image onto the sd card and nothing else right? I can try burning it again...i'm using the wolfanozarcade1up image. Etcher is telling me it is not a bootable image and might not be bootable on my device...
@@slang75 yah i would reformat and then try to reburn. And like i said sometimes files get corrupted via torrent and if that is the case you may want to try the other image . I have. See if it works and then if you want this image try again. I have even had new sd cards be faulty and not boot.
hey RB, i need your help, i'm really stuck. following the steps for setting up retropie image and i missed a step somewhere. i have the torrent files from bittorent to a single file on my desktop, but i keep getting a single .zip file, not a image file. unable to get it on my etcher.
Download winrar or winzip (This video has the download link to winrar). the file should turn into the same icon as the winzip or winrar. Double click an this will bring up the zipping software. Inside the file you will see the image file. Drag (or unzip) the image to your desktop, and this will unzip the file into the image file you need. Then continue with the above video. I HOPE THIS HELPED! :P
I have one question. Everything is setup and working great but for some reason my controls aren’t configured for Atari games. How would I go about configuring those controls using this image?
Unsure, maybe the Atari is using a different emulator? Go to a game (atari) and once inside press the select button + I think it is x (just press and hold the insert coin button and press the face buttons. One of them will bring up retropie emulator setting.) Once in those you can set the emulator settings for that emulator, and then save them. Note though this might also mess up something else that was using that emulator so be careful what you change.
Rival Boss ahh gotcha. Thank you so much. You’ve helped my whole family when it comes to using images like this one. Looking forward to future content!
Thanks for the great video! Quick question- I used this 32gb image from wolfanoz and noticed the daphne games don’t work. Is there a fix to this or another image that has all arcade roms working properly?
I believe they do work but note they don't use the same controls you have to set them up differently. aka Access the control via wifi on your pi. I would suggest doing a RUclips search setting up daphne controls.
Can you explain to me what an image is? Is it a "package" of games that you install on the SD card then into the retropie? Is the retropie image Noobs or Raspbian? Whats the diff? What is attract mode? Cheers
If your downloading the image in the description. It will already have the operating system installed. You would only need to install retropie if you were doing it yourself and adding roms from scratch yourself. This will have emulation station and Attach Mode installed already.
This is a fantastic video! Thanks so much for making it. Question....when I get my raspberry pi, do I need to download the RetroPie image from RetroPie.org.uk before doing these steps? Or do I just load everything up on the sd card, insert it in the RetroPie and that’s it? Looking forward to hearing back from you and keep up the awesome videos!
Depending on what you want you can put the retropie image and then add your own roms. Or you can download a image from arcade punks. In this and some of my other videos. And yes just follow the steps download. Unzip burn it and power it on and set it up. All done!
@@ValkyrieVewas thanks, I had a tech do the raspberry pie installing & the retro pie he left it plain. He did put over 5000 Arcade roms on my 32 gig , However , with plain text in alphabetical order. No images. No video. Season Greetings. I'll get back to you when I finally get it done.
Is there a setup guide to setup the retropie .. I just bought the mortal Kombat 1-3 and I want to install this.. where do I start ? I would need to start from scratch. I hate how it a blurry mess and hoping with retropie I can add billinear so it’s not a pixelated mess.
I mean this is just a image with roms already installed on the image. I have a bunch of different images on the channel. I also have how to do all the filters and textures in retroarch adding scanlines etc. It is a newer video if you can't find it I can link.
yep, this is just the easiest look at my video with the 128gb one that is a little harder to set up but also has consoles on it. THANK YOU FOR SUB!! U Rock
I was using everything stock ... what I got with my 1 arcade up machine... but I decided to get new led buttons .. thanks so much....your video help so much and thanks so much... I was wondering if you can add single ROMs my kids love earthbound and mother 3.....
Yep you can add any game you want as long as you have the emulator for it installed. I have a video going over that here. ruclips.net/video/dG5krJVzBZ0/видео.html. Hope the videos help more coming after Christmas. So sub if you want to get more content LOL (trying to get to 1000 subs)
You have to add a extra button or atleast you should. Otherwise you will just be limited to 5 buttons and a coin. Which i guess works for most games. But honestly just cut the front thin panel. Its the easiest way to add a button.
Thanks for this upload, downloaded It and entered into arcade 1up. A problem i have though is that the button mapping screen doesn’t seem to pop up and i can’t get into It because there is no select or enter button configured so i can’t get into any games or select the mapping option, i tried everything... any ideas
You can download some in retropie menu, but otherwise you just have to put Retropie splashscreen into google, and pick one, then put it in the correct folder, and select it. (maybe a good video idea lots of people asking about this)
Great tutorial -- this is just what I needed. Question, though: do you know how to make it so the bezels don't turn themselves on again? I've gone through your steps to disable all of them, but in some arcade games like Star Trek you can't seem to turn them off. Worse, if you start the Star Trek game and exit it, the bezel from Star Trek will appear over any game you play from then on. You have to go into BezelProject and shut them all off again to get it to go away. It's really annoying.
My controller isn't working well. It doesn't register all inputs. It skips some inputs. I think its cause I'm using the brook retro board. I ordered the zero delay board so hopefully it works better.
You are great....I just watch your video... that’s actually a question I had ... thanks mr prime ... you rock..👍🏽.... 1 question I have ... my game boy emulator.... when the screen starts the game start on the size of the screen ? Is not in the center were it supposed to be? Can this be fix ? And how ?... thanks again
Yes, I cannot remember the button 100% will look into it. But inside of the game (after you start the gameboy emulator. Press the Insert coin (select) + one of the other buttons. Think it's X (which is Jab on my Street fighter cab) and it will bring up retropie emulator setting find display and change the aspect ratio to something of your liking.
Rival Boss, So if you were beginning this this modification... This is the first thing you do before installing the Raspberry Pi 3B+ correct? Sorry because like you said ETA does the hardware install and they made it seem like just plug and play the Raspberry Pi.
At the start you want to buy the correct parts aka a raspberry pi (I would suggest the B+) some usb encoders with sticks and buttons (amazon is friend) The correct VGA converter board (make sure the white letters are correct) A AMP with MP3 out, and the audio 3.5mm (Think that is right) cord. Install it all via ETA or now others install videos. (I really should make one of these LOL) Then buy whatever size Micro SD card you want (I would suggest 128GB or bigger) Then watch one of my many videos with how to install the image onto your SD card. I have a new one I am working on today that is a 128GB attract mode AMAZING Image. Feel free to ask any questions I will try to help.
Also almost forgot make sure you buy a kit for the Pi sometimes power supplies can be lacking. AKA buy a good highly reviewed power supply for your raspberry pi. It honestly is really easy to set up after you get all the hardware put in.
@@ValkyrieVewas I was watching your other video of the 128GB image 18k games.. but I like the "Arcade Punks" image you had set up better. Man I can't wait till my parts get here tomorrow I think.. Thanks Rival Boss.. keep up the good work and making this easy for people like me..
@@alijahnikolas Yah personally I have created a combo of the retrorama and this new image I am going to be uploading later. It has the best games, and the best attractmode. I may try to get it uploaded someplace for when I hit 1000 Subs, or something like that.
New sub...great video! Question about the bit torrent step: is there a way to do that step without using bit torrent? The reason I ask is once I was downloading a movie to watch thru my kodi app on nvidia shield and wasn’t aware it was downloading thru bit torrent (thru a 3rd party app) and my cable company flagged my account for using a torrent.
Thank you so much for the sub it really means a lot to me. Huh, who do you have for cable if you mind me asking? I wonder if it was the content more than anything or the website it was being downloaded from. I mean you can use NZB the link is on that list on the arcade punks image list. I personally don't know anything about NZB nor do i know if you would get flagged again. Here is a downloader www.techsono.com/usenet/nzb/eznzb . Hope this helps.
I GOT IT , You could also just do just a plain retropie install, and then download a mame .78 and finalburn complete rom sets. I am going to throw this guy a few views ruclips.net/video/Jw330wZZ6dg/видео.html in the description he has links to google drives you can just download all the winrar files and then once you have all of them. Unzip them to desktop and install them to your Pi via Wifi connection. (I have a video on that) Then use my video called using scraper to get your images and videos for the roms. That shouldn't get you flagged though it is much harder then the video above. You will have about the same thing minus a few games.
Rival Boss I am with Cox cable. I would take a chance but no other internet options until Fios comes into my area. Great ideas! I will give the other video a view and check out your other video of course. Thanks! Looking forward to you next vid!!
hey RB, i need your help, i'm really stuck. following the steps for setting up retropie image and i missed a step somewhere. i have the torrent files from bittorent to a single file on my desktop, but i keep getting a single .zip file, not a image file. unable to get it on my etcher. also, I'm on a mac, fyi in case that changes any steps
Awsome tutorial. One thing I can’t figure out is how to enter in game controls menu. For example I’d like to change button maps for Mortal Kombat but keep it game specific. Please help!
So your running a 3.5mm cable from the vga board to the amp 3.5 or mp3 in? Make sure the amp works by plugging something else into it (phone will work) see if you hear say a youtube video audio. If you dont maybe a bad amp. If you do hear something then its likely wiring issue
I was freaking out....this is a cabinet gift 🎁 for my kids for Christmas 🎄.... it turn out great 👍🏽 ...and I can’t wait to play... ... thanks for all your videos 👍🏽
i keep gettin a grey screen while playing smash tv!!! anyone one else having that problem too?! seems like when i go to press multiple buttons at once the screen goes grey... can still hear the game and the button inputs work just no video. any advice would be great!
Hmmm i would have to reload the image to test. Was working on a new video. My guess is that game resolution ratio might need to be adjusted. (The select plus one of the buttons in game will pull up retroarch menu) or maybe when game boots up press "A" and go into settings for game. Then maybe try a different emulation for the game. Lastly you could try to move game to the final burn folder and try final burn. It works with alot of games mame has a bug with.
How do you edit a pre made image after the fact? for example I want to add Snk Vs Capcom Chaos and fix issues with some of the games not running properly on this image
Rival Boss I got it figured out! The game was already in my system. Just had to change the emulator for it. I do have a different question for you. My Raspberry Pi is heating up regularly. Do you recommend using the unit without the case? Are you experiencing any heating issues
@@LoztkozL4M I bought a cheap cpu fan, my pi is in a case inside the cab. The fan keeps it cool and I even have it overclocked. (For N64 Killer Instinct Gold :P) Currently running the bigger 128GB image I have in a different video of mine.
Rival Boss Thanks for answering my questions, just have a couple more if you don’t mind! so overclocking is only necessary if you are running n64 games like KI gold? I’m only running standard arcade games like neo geo and cps. Also I’m not sure if I notice slight delay on controller input I feel there is. Is there anyway to fix that? I’m using pi 3 and easyget zero delay encoders for controls. Same stuff eta prime used
I mean it could be something with the encoders you bought. The normal pi 3 should be enough for those games. I just went with a Pi 3B+ because of the other wifi and bluetooth things it included. I would say. Try to plug in a keyboard. remap controls to it. Play a game with the usb encoders and then with the keyboard if there is a difference then its the encoders, if there isn't its the Pi needing to be overclocked.
Yep that is more so just to add roms to the image after your done. Check out my newest video I have a 128GB image all set you just need to download it unzip it to one file and burn it to the sd card.
Thats a bummer. I mean it shouldn't be that hard to find a single mame rom. And just add it to one of thr emulators via wifi. So couldnt check all of the games. Look for .78 i believe mame wise. I may even look for it later if i remember lol
Thank you for the comment! Means alot to me. I dont remember how many off the top of my head but do remember it being a very good image. Check my 1000 subs video for my big personal image.
Great video. I was able to get everything to work except after I configured my controls in Emulation Station and went back to Attract mode and the controls did not save. I could exit back to Emulation Station and they work great. Any advice how to fix this??
brettchafin04 I couldn’t find the file he is using but downloaded a similar version, said it was corrupt...question does this download come pre loaded with retro pie or is pie on there prior to loading the torrent? That’s I’m getting a rainbow screen and need help
Thank you for the sub means alot to me! No you wont lose anything. The config file will save. All your save states will stay. Only way you should lose them if your sd card dies. Thus watch the video on how to back up your image incase this ever happens.
A lot of the commands are still in the system as last used commands you could try to scroll down to get to a emulationstation (with joystick not sure if this will work or not.) Try a different none driver needing keyboard.
My joysticks are none responsive only two buttons are working one button I hit it it scrolls down though games then another button works then I'll hit that and it says add this game to favorites and then can't get out of that
@@Hehehehe._ Ok so try plugging in a keyboard that doesn't need drivers (try a few) Press "Alt F4" when your sitting in main menu. This HOPEFULLY will kick you out to command line. At which time you need to type in emulationstation. Then use the keyboard and make your way to controller setup (might be esc) or might pop up when emulation station first boots.
Check to make sure your retropie audio is set to HDMI. Retropie settings> audio, and change the output to HDMI. Let me know if that works. If you have sound in main menu and not in roms a audio setting needs to be changed in Retroarch or retropie
So crazy... looking at google.. results show im not the only one. Lol. All audio works menu and Neo Geo games... but not any other in game audio like ie: pacman or dk any idea? I tried so much .. i just dont get it.
Being its a brand new install ... why am i having these issues. Everything is brand new, and I followed everything step by step. Would it be adviseable to reformat my sd and start over? Just weird that all is brand new, never been plugged in and configured, yet i have config issues. Thanks the the advice.
@@BullDawgbull Yah it could be just even something to do with the vga board. Are you sure you set the sound to HDMI in retropie settings? Yah a reflash wouldn't hurt. I also have a new video coming out with a 128GB (14K game) image soon that is about as easy as you get setup wise. should have that finished in next few days.
Needs to be a blank card, nothing on it. Everything included check out my other videos to find a image you like. I have a ton of them now. My Thank you 1000 subs image is really nice or I have 32GB ones also check them out ;)
Awesome thank you. I think I am confusing myself because there is only 1 slot on the pie. If I take that SD card out and put a new one in with the rom pack on it won't PIe be deleted since the SD card that doesn't have the retro pie on it not be inserted ?
All of these images are complete they have the roms , operating system and configuration. Sometimes you have to change things a little to get it to fit your needs (aka TV or arcade cab) nut that's about it!
I'm trying to overclock a PI B+ with this image (some roms tend to slow down while playing). I've tried to do it through the menu but I keep getting an error message. Can anyone assist?
I don't currently have the image loaded up, but they seemed fine when I tried them. You can overclock your pi if you need more performance. Just make sure to get a fan before you do.
I have a B plus also. It takes a really good power supply and they run at full speed, but if you get a voltage drop (even a little) they slow down. The 3b plus takes more power. I'm currently using a 2.5 amp power supply and it still slows from time to time if the voltage drops. I've since added an overvolt flag to my config file and that helped almost eliminate it. I'm considering downgrading to a regular 3b and trying default settings just so I don't need the overvolt flag.
@@vorenge worth noting as well, i had to change out my usb cord because even with the new adapter it showed low voltage. So remember to quality cord makes a big difference too
Yes the image in this video, and in the link has all the games, emulators in it already. You basically follow the above video, feel free to ask if you have a problem, and bam you have a fully working arcade 1up machine with tons of games. (After you install the hardware of course also) Can provide a link to that if needed. I am using a Raspberry Pi B+ (you can overclock B to 1300mz also) I don't see any lag on all emulators on this image. (This is a mostly Final burn, and mame using image) Runs great!
Here is a video of my larger 128 (a little more work to set up everything) but just a idea to show you what you can do with this. ruclips.net/video/wbTKtfcXX3Q/видео.html
Thanks for another great tutorial. I just purchased my Street fighter machine and it arrives on Tuesday. I actually had an original arcade machine many years back of Street Fighter. I also purchased all the ETA prime suggested parts and they also arrive by Tuesday. I like your coin select button placement and will be doing the same. Long winded but which download did you use for your 128 gig card? I like the look of the one you used in another video with the marvel start up. Are you able to post a link to that file like you did for this 32 gig file? Thanks again and I look forward to more videos!
I wonder if anyone can make an arcade1up theme menu screen, a vertical screen theme, load screen on roms that shows control layout...any of these be cool
That would be awesome, it is easy to make a start up screen (only takes a min to install) only problem with making overlays are screen is 4 by 3 so that kind of thing works better on a custom arcade machine with a 16 by 9 or 10 ratio screen.
Hello, so its been a while, but I am noe having issues trying to do one of the procedures. I have all of the programs, but after downloading the BitTorrent I cant seem to go on from there. I went into winrar and selected the BitTorrent and it doesnt allow me to extract files. It says no archives found in selected files and folders. Am I supposed to do anything before thst I am missing on? I went into the BitTorrent but I didnt know what to do with that, so I closed out of it.
So did you download the bittorrent file from arcade punks (its the file that tells bittorrent what to download) will be a small file. Should come up with the icon of bittorrent on it. Just double click on it wont be zipped or anything. Bittorrent should pop up (also when your done downloading the image file make sure close bittorrent or it will continue to seed) after you double click that file you downloaded from arcade punks. Bit should pop up and start to download the file in your downloads folder. Will take a while its a 25gb something file. After that you will of downloaded a zipped winrar file. Go into that file by double clicking and then drag the .img file folder to your desktop. Then after it is done unzipping use ecther to burn the image to the sd card.
No I don't think so, since this doesn't have any real ps1 or newer roms. Believe it should be good enough to run without lag. If it does lag a little you can overclock the B to B+ speed with a heatsink on it fairly easy.
I believe it does, I can try to check. But honestly I feel you will be very happy with the image, and if this one doesn't I am sure the one in this videos description does. ruclips.net/video/pAif7RGG-U8/видео.html
Wow, you made this seem a lot less difficult and something no one has posted yet. I hope people get to see how great your channel is. Thanks so much again and for taking the time for your subscribers. Cant wait to get my hardware in so I can start playing.
One more thing. I havent seen anyone do this yet, but I was going to do this to mine. I saw a street fighter display at Walmart and how bad the graphics were getting on the controller board from so much use. I was thinking while i have the board all apart I would get some clear vinyl and cover the whole controller board so it wont ever peal off.
You are going to love it. Honestly the hardest part of the whole thing was trying to figure out where to put the usb encoders on that small dash, and that is just a will the wires reach this far kind of thing. I just thought why not just make it easy for people, and make the final steps after that etaprime video on the hardware on how to finish this arcade 1up machine easy. I am now going to try to personalize it more for the machine itself maybe making some Arcade 1up Splash screens, and screen savers. I have also had a request on how to create your own images for others to burn I may do this with my own 128 Gb image soon.
@@moton410 Lol I have a video of clear coat on the control deck. It turned out good. Yes clear vinyl would be even better, but they are both kind of a mute point. This is because now Arcade 1up is offering clear plastic covers for free. (They do TAKE FOREVER TO GET HERE.... I am still waiting for mine) Just send a email to there customer service or call and they will send it out in 6 weeks. Just say you saw the ones at walmart, and have started to see the decal rubbing off.
@@ValkyrieVewas I actually bought two 128gb sd cards this weekend. Curious about that though. So if the image is 128gb and you need space for retropie as well and the card doesnt typically have 128gb even though it states 128gb. Does that mean you need a larger card? Or is the image around 100gb, but saying 128gb, because that's what you really need to stay efficient? Am I making sense? Lol
@@moton410 if you bought a 128 gb and you dowload a 128 most of the images that say they are 128 will work. They are compressed a little. Like 100gb and then decompress to size of card on first boot. I have a 128 image on my 128 card.
Just finished my mod and got my arcade 1up cabinet running thanks to your instructions !
Followed eta prime and your advice and got everything setup in no time !
You made it incredibly easy!!
Thanks for your help !
Great tutorial sir! I lucked out and picked up an Arcade1Up Street Fighter version for $199 when Wally World dropped the price... Using ETA Prime's suggestions for R-pi and button config! Look forward to your new vids! Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much! Yah i should have some more time for videos come new year. The mix of RL work and family makes things hard to get a good content video together.
I'm with ya! I have a channel of my own and it is hard to blend family and work! Hope you get to your goal of 1000 subs soon! I'm closing in on a 100.. :) Baby steps they tell me.. :)
Subbed :)
thanks for posting. Im am currently at the tail end of installing my retro pi with 11000 games on it and this was relieving to watch...especially how I saw just a glimpse that the dragons lair and space ace were on these retro pi's..Thanks again
Thank you. Please note those laser disc games sometimes require setting up controls by editing the config file using a computer (after you have connected it to WiFi ) you should be able to find a video how to but if you cant i can try to make a write up
Super helpful video on how to setup all the software:) I'll definitely use this image for my Arcade1up cab
Nice job!! We need more videos like this.... cause I spent too much time figuring out some of the functions.
Great video Boss. Even though I already modded my cabinet, you helped me out a lot with this one. Thanks! I used the exact same image for my cabinet. Every game so far plays fine.
No problem, I am going to be releasing a new video soon just to help people back up there edited image soon also.
This was the best bit of info I have needed for a long time!!! Thank you, you earned my sub sir!
Thank you so much it means alot to me, check out my other videos I have other images also if you liked this one :)
Thanks for posting this, man! This is SUPER Helpful!!!
Nice video boss
Thanks NewB Dakoda! I have been looking for what I believe is the most easy to set up image. That also fit the system super well all arcade games! I wanted to find one the person with little knowledge of setting these types of things up could do easy. This image only really needed the controls setup and the screen bezels removed, and it has a easy way to do both built into it! Most likely the last of the how to videos, and I can get into getting things like harder to setup stuff. Also may make a why buy a Playstation classic video... Was so upset with that game list and the interface.... ANYWAY Thank you so much or your support!
@@Dsuds23 Thanks Dan did you get your system all up, and running? Any request?
@@ValkyrieVewas yeah man, this has to be one of my favorite images! when I saw the list for PlayStation classic I was pretty upset too I mean PS1 is my favorite system of all time! So the Classics list was a bit of a letdown but I imagine someone will get their hands on it and hack it like they did with the SNES and the NES Classics! LOL. Long Live Us Video Game nerds, haha!!!
@@nathanrivera7895 Yah I was going to make a video crying about how bad the list was but felt it was beating a dead horse...Have you seen the interface, i mean it might not be final but it looks soooo Blah... I am wondering if the japanese games will have english options in games but I don't think that was really a thing during ps1 and sega saturn. Hopefully someone will hack it but what is the point of rushing out to buy it in stores I may just wait to pick it up second hand.... Or I might make a video lol
Thanks for showing the correct button setup! Ive been looking for that
This will be extremely helpful once I start digging in 😊. Just waiting on a couple things before I start.
Best tutorial i have seen so far. A++
Thank you so much for your praise. Tried to make it simple and easy to set up. I also have a bigger image on a different video once you do this one, and get the experience. This one is really easy to get up, and running.
You're the man, thanks for the awesome instructions
Thank you I hope it helped check out my new image i just put up.
Thanks so much.....👍🏽little mistake... I was not plugging it ... to the right input on the monitor... it has 2 little aux... inputs...or least they look similar.....😜....I follow your tutorial and made my mod easy.... thanks again
Rival,
Great videos (saw your 128gb one too). I am in the process of doing the 128gb image. I see you have other videos for adding games, which should be easy enough by watching them.
My question though is: Most emulators I have used, they offer save state and load state functionality for NES, SNES, Genesis, etc. Does this image allow for save/load states? Can I set it up in the individual emulator controller settings? For example: NES only has 2 buttons: B & A. For the NES games, can I set the lower left button for B, lower middle button as A, and assign Save State to Fierce and Load to Round House? Any recommendations for adding S/L state functionality for SNES (without having to add another set of buttons)?
Thanks in advance!
Yep, Save states there is a quick button combo (you will likely hit it sometime lol) But you can bring up retroarch config while in a game by pressing Select + X (I believe it is X) but just press the Select (Coin button) + the face buttons and it will pop up. (also quick save is also one of those Select + A) i want to say. You can also edit buttons in that menu and other things it is the same menu you see me bring up in many games to mess with ratio etc.
Rival Boss, thanks for the info. I did come across that hot key save function.
However, i added an additional 2 buttons on the player 1 side that I would like to assign as dedicated Save State / Load State buttons.
I am able to access the specific emulator menu by Hot Key + X, but i can’t seem to find a way to assign save/load states to specific buttons (i have been able to do this with any other emulator easily but it escapes me in this one). Any advice?
A few more things of note while setting up last night:
1) the screen for the gameboy is shifted to the right by half (left edge of gameboy screen starts in the middle). How would i fix this?
2) save states are are kept indefinitely for each game correct? Save state 0 in one game is not the same as 0 in another?
3) how does save functionality work for systems that utilize memory cards? (Psx, sega cd, Dreamcast). Do i his save state?
4) i May have missed this in your videos, but some of the game information on the menu screen is overlapping by 2-3 characters. Any advice?
5) more of a comment: Omega pie does not have a retro bezel option. To remove the bezels of NES, SNES, etc, i found them in configuration ES settings. Under each one, turn the overlay option from true to false (some like sega cd are default unassigned so no bezel would appear). Also the controls of up and down are backwards in these settings menus and you have to trick the controls to highlight “cancel” to go back a screen.
Thanks again my man...keep the good videos and information coming !
Thanks for the video, I just ordered the raspberrypie it should arrive tomorrow. I am looking to mod the same cabinet.
I like the "borders" on some games. Mainly on vertical games. I turn them on and customize the size for those games.
Thanks for the video.
Is it possible to add/remove games and systems? Can I remove the bezel art to make space available for new more obscure ROMS that I want to add?
Yep check out my video on adding games ruclips.net/video/dG5krJVzBZ0/видео.html&t I have others also.
Havent done this yet but still a great video. Thanks
Hi Rivalboss,
Great video thanks! Everything is quite clear but i still have a question.. do i leave the sd card in the raspberry pi forever or do i remove it after the installation is done..?? I don't think the pi has any storage so i think i need to leave it in but i'm not sure..
Can you help me out?!
It acts like its harddrive. You have to leave ir in. Thanks for kind words!
You are a life saver man. Really helped me out!
Awesome video dude & I wanna see more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you it means alot! It is awesome to get good feedback on trying to start up this channel. I have had a few good suggestions on future videos stay tuned :)
Hi, great video. Thank you for sharing. May i ask how do you boot into Emulation Station straight after booting up the pie. I like the look of Emulation Station more than Attract Mode. Thank you.
Yep have had a few people ask for this may make a small video soon.
@@ValkyrieVewas Great! Thank you so much for your quick reply. I am looking forward to the up coming video. Keep up the great work!!! btw... Merry X'Mas. :)
@@friedrice5292 I will try to do a to emulationstation video or at least tell you how to do it. I am working a "Better Playstation classic" video with a new image I found, and a ps3 controller video next then I can do a how to video.
@@ValkyrieVewas okay sounds good. I am still modding my Arcade1up cabinet. If possible, i would like to know how to boot up Emulationstation straight when power up on that image. Thank you again.

Same screen pops on my arcade1up when I put in my 256gb sd card on my raspberry pi 3b.
So should I type the same as you did any help????
Bought my 256gb from amazon and its fully loaded retropie sd card.
Thanks for the info about seting this up. I have an issue with no sound. Yes I went into settings and turned volume up/etc. On reboot I get an error" volume control failed to find mixer elements... If i go into Main menu it only shows sound and quit. I think it is missing something in start up. If I go into retropie and go to setup/ update will I lose all of the games/mess it up? thanks Dave
Watched your video after I watched ETA Prime's to do my inital install. Between the two videos, I am 99% set now. THANK YOU so much for this video!
I have a couple of minor issues that I thought I'd ask. If you don't know the answer, no biggie. One is that I was checking Lunar Lander (it's in Atari Classics) for someone else and there's still a bezel even though I turned off all the bezels in your video. Any wild idea where I need to go to turn off that bezel?
Second; I mapped my controls the way you did in this video which are working perfect for most games. They are out of whack for Mortal Kombat II though, so I watched your other video and went in to re-map the controls. I still can't see to get them right though because I don't know that menu well enough. I'm not asking you to do an MKII specific video for controls but thought I'd ask if you might know what button I need to assign to which control in the menu to get close to the arcade set up.
In any case, thanks again for the videos in the first place!
Watch the video i just put up about the dynamo arcade. In it i show a different way to disable all bezels in all emulators. Via retropie settings. See if that works. Also if you press the select and x (just keep hitting face buttons and you will find it.) You will get into retropie setting where you can set custom controls for each rom.
I installed rasbeey pie in my 12 and 1 how do map the controls for games like asteriods. Also how to I make it regonize the track ball and spinner. I had to splice them into 2 pin vs the original 4. Due to new control board?????????
Do you go back into emulation station to setup the second player controls or can you do it when you first have it open doing the 1st player?
If wired correctly when you set up 1st player controls it should mirror those controls to the 2nd player. If the buttons aren't the same you have the wires on the buttons connected to the usb encoders wrong.
Thank you for the video so once I flash SD card and have followed ETA prime video just put card in pi and configure? Is there anything else I need to do to pi before installing?
I mean u had to downloaded /unzipped / flash, but nope thats it enjoy the games. If you do have any questions feel free to ask. Oh and if you did find this video helpful please like and subscribe it really helps. Good luck with your mod !
@@ValkyrieVewas I did like and subscribe thanks
I need help please: in your control panel, how do you have your wires plugged into the USB encoder and the buttons/joysticks please. The only issue I am having with my mod is the controller set ups. Thank you
So easy! Thanks!! Subscribed!
Enjoy, thank you so much for the sub
Great video, quick question tho... ive set up everything using raspberry pi 3 and just flashed image from arcadepunks onto sd card but when i put it in my pi and turn everything on, nothing happens, my screen stays black and my led buttons wont light up. Any ideas???
I mean things can happen in the download and the flashing have you tried redoing it all. Also make sure the image is made for the Pi you are using, and make sure any image works (My 1000Sub image I know works)
Hey i loved the totorial but do we need to install the retropie before hand or is it in the file itself??
Everything is included
Question-I just burned the wolfanoz 32gb image to an sd card and inserted my raspberry pie, but when I went to burn it I got an error message saying the image was not bootable...is this normal? When I flashed the card and installed it into my Pi, I get nothing...is there supposed to be a boot screen or something?
Not normal. Yes you should get a boot screen. Sometimes it can take a few mins before anything comes up. Is this your first time installing a image or are you reflashing. Did you use the below programs. Also if you cant get this image to work someone made a arcadeone wolf 32gb image also on arcadepunks pi images.
@@ValkyrieVewas I got the image from arcade punks...so I can just load the image onto the sd card and nothing else right? I can try burning it again...i'm using the wolfanozarcade1up image. Etcher is telling me it is not a bootable image and might not be bootable on my device...
@@slang75 yah i would reformat and then try to reburn. And like i said sometimes files get corrupted via torrent and if that is the case you may want to try the other image . I have. See if it works and then if you want this image try again. I have even had new sd cards be faulty and not boot.
Great job man, helped a lot!
Thank you so much for your kind words. Check out the other images also on my channel.
hey RB, i need your help, i'm really stuck. following the steps for setting up retropie image and i missed a step somewhere. i have the torrent files from bittorent to a single file on my desktop, but i keep getting a single .zip file, not a image file. unable to get it on my etcher.
Download winrar or winzip (This video has the download link to winrar). the file should turn into the same icon as the winzip or winrar. Double click an this will bring up the zipping software. Inside the file you will see the image file. Drag (or unzip) the image to your desktop, and this will unzip the file into the image file you need. Then continue with the above video. I HOPE THIS HELPED! :P
I have one question. Everything is setup and working great but for some reason my controls aren’t configured for Atari games. How would I go about configuring those controls using this image?
Unsure, maybe the Atari is using a different emulator? Go to a game (atari) and once inside press the select button + I think it is x (just press and hold the insert coin button and press the face buttons. One of them will bring up retropie emulator setting.) Once in those you can set the emulator settings for that emulator, and then save them. Note though this might also mess up something else that was using that emulator so be careful what you change.
Rival Boss ahh gotcha. Thank you so much. You’ve helped my whole family when it comes to using images like this one. Looking forward to future content!
@@blakeb3119 I am hopefully putting out a new image with install next week. Thank you so much for your kind words!
Thanks for the great video! Quick question- I used this 32gb image from wolfanoz and noticed the daphne games don’t work. Is there a fix to this or another image that has all arcade roms working properly?
I believe they do work but note they don't use the same controls you have to set them up differently. aka Access the control via wifi on your pi. I would suggest doing a RUclips search setting up daphne controls.
Rival Boss thanks I will look into it.
Can you explain to me what an image is? Is it a "package" of games that you install on the SD card then into the retropie? Is the retropie image Noobs or Raspbian? Whats the diff? What is attract mode? Cheers
Does the image have the cheats file for mame? Also on mame at least is there the option to change sound levels on some games? Like the PC version had.
Unsure on the cheats file. I can try to look tomorrow if I remember. Yes you can change sound levels without having to open up the unit.
@rivalboss I'm new to this, so does the retropie and game image need to be on the same sd card?
If your downloading the image in the description. It will already have the operating system installed. You would only need to install retropie if you were doing it yourself and adding roms from scratch yourself. This will have emulation station and Attach Mode installed already.
@@ValkyrieVewas thank you so much. Great vids
This is a fantastic video! Thanks so much for making it. Question....when I get my raspberry pi, do I need to download the RetroPie image from RetroPie.org.uk before doing these steps? Or do I just load everything up on the sd card, insert it in the RetroPie and that’s it? Looking forward to hearing back from you and keep up the awesome videos!
Depending on what you want you can put the retropie image and then add your own roms. Or you can download a image from arcade punks. In this and some of my other videos. And yes just follow the steps download. Unzip burn it and power it on and set it up. All done!
Does your Galaga and Ms Pacman have the speed up version? Great video
Great vid ,
When I do all these steps , will I have all those cool games in your video ?
Yep the games are on the image i posted a link to. Let me know if it doesnt work. Enjoy
@@ValkyrieVewas thanks, I had a tech do the raspberry pie installing & the retro pie he left it plain. He did put over 5000 Arcade roms on my 32 gig , However , with plain text in alphabetical order. No images. No video. Season Greetings. I'll get back to you when I finally get it done.
Is there a setup guide to setup the retropie .. I just bought the mortal Kombat 1-3 and I want to install this.. where do I start ? I would need to start from scratch. I hate how it a blurry mess and hoping with retropie I can add billinear so it’s not a pixelated mess.
I mean this is just a image with roms already installed on the image. I have a bunch of different images on the channel. I also have how to do all the filters and textures in retroarch adding scanlines etc. It is a newer video if you can't find it I can link.
Just what I’ve been looking for. Thanks for showing in detail how to get this done. That website has all the roms already built on it for you?
yep, this is just the easiest look at my video with the 128gb one that is a little harder to set up but also has consoles on it. THANK YOU FOR SUB!! U Rock
Awesome job!!! New subscriber👍
Am sorry... I have a question.... can you use stock buttons? No gamepads detected? I haven’t replace my buttons?
Are you using usb encoders with stock buttons?
I was using everything stock ... what I got with my 1 arcade up machine... but I decided to get new led buttons .. thanks so much....your video help so much and thanks so much... I was wondering if you can add single ROMs my kids love earthbound and mother 3.....
Yep you can add any game you want as long as you have the emulator for it installed. I have a video going over that here. ruclips.net/video/dG5krJVzBZ0/видео.html. Hope the videos help more coming after Christmas. So sub if you want to get more content LOL (trying to get to 1000 subs)
Love your videos... thanks so much... 👍🏽
Rival Boss quick question..I have downloaded Retro Pie on the Raspberry Pi 3B+. Do I have to format my SD card again if I wanted to follow this video?
Thanks so much brother!
You bet!
Thanks for this! 👍🏼
Thank you so much as i purchased everything to mod my 1UP ....there is a point where you are using a keyboard ....do i need to buy a keyboard ?
If you dont have one you should have one just in case there are some menus on the raspberry pi you will need to use arrow keys to get around.
@@ValkyrieVewas will get one tomorrow..
Everything will be set up.this weekend
what are you using for a select button without adding a extra button like prime did?
You have to add a extra button or atleast you should. Otherwise you will just be limited to 5 buttons and a coin. Which i guess works for most games. But honestly just cut the front thin panel. Its the easiest way to add a button.
@@ValkyrieVewas ok thanks also what is the difference in attract mode and emu station? just the looks?
@@bonexdaddy5770 yep just looks attract mode is prettier but slower to find games imop
Thanks for this upload, downloaded It and entered into arcade 1up. A problem i have though is that the button mapping screen doesn’t seem to pop up and i can’t get into It because there is no select or enter button configured so i can’t get into any games or select the mapping option, i tried everything... any ideas
where r the splash screens?
You can download some in retropie menu, but otherwise you just have to put Retropie splashscreen into google, and pick one, then put it in the correct folder, and select it. (maybe a good video idea lots of people asking about this)
Great tutorial -- this is just what I needed. Question, though: do you know how to make it so the bezels don't turn themselves on again? I've gone through your steps to disable all of them, but in some arcade games like Star Trek you can't seem to turn them off. Worse, if you start the Star Trek game and exit it, the bezel from Star Trek will appear over any game you play from then on. You have to go into BezelProject and shut them all off again to get it to go away. It's really annoying.
My controller isn't working well.
It doesn't register all inputs. It skips some inputs.
I think its cause I'm using the brook retro board. I ordered the zero delay board so hopefully it works better.
Yah sorry dont know much about none zero delay boards. Maybe not compatible with the raspberry pi?
You are great....I just watch your video... that’s actually a question I had ... thanks mr prime ... you rock..👍🏽.... 1 question I have ... my game boy emulator.... when the screen starts the game start on the size of the screen ? Is not in the center were it supposed to be? Can this be fix ? And how ?... thanks again
Yes, I cannot remember the button 100% will look into it. But inside of the game (after you start the gameboy emulator. Press the Insert coin (select) + one of the other buttons. Think it's X (which is Jab on my Street fighter cab) and it will bring up retropie emulator setting find display and change the aspect ratio to something of your liking.
Thanks again... your all your videos
Rival Boss, So if you were beginning this this modification... This is the first thing you do before installing the Raspberry Pi 3B+ correct? Sorry because like you said ETA does the hardware install and they made it seem like just plug and play the Raspberry Pi.
At the start you want to buy the correct parts aka a raspberry pi (I would suggest the B+) some usb encoders with sticks and buttons (amazon is friend) The correct VGA converter board (make sure the white letters are correct) A AMP with MP3 out, and the audio 3.5mm (Think that is right) cord. Install it all via ETA or now others install videos. (I really should make one of these LOL) Then buy whatever size Micro SD card you want (I would suggest 128GB or bigger) Then watch one of my many videos with how to install the image onto your SD card. I have a new one I am working on today that is a 128GB attract mode AMAZING Image. Feel free to ask any questions I will try to help.
Also almost forgot make sure you buy a kit for the Pi sometimes power supplies can be lacking. AKA buy a good highly reviewed power supply for your raspberry pi. It honestly is really easy to set up after you get all the hardware put in.
@@ValkyrieVewas I was watching your other video of the 128GB image 18k games.. but I like the "Arcade Punks" image you had set up better. Man I can't wait till my parts get here tomorrow I think.. Thanks Rival Boss.. keep up the good work and making this easy for people like me..
@@alijahnikolas Yah personally I have created a combo of the retrorama and this new image I am going to be uploading later. It has the best games, and the best attractmode. I may try to get it uploaded someplace for when I hit 1000 Subs, or something like that.
Nice informative video boss 😁👍
Sorry Im a noob but do I have to install retro pi first onto the sd card then the .img from arcade punks?
No just burn the image has operating system installed with most images
Do you recommend a 32gb u1 or u3 sd card or it doesn’t matter?
Honestly most of the games roms are fairly small the u1 should be fine. That is at least what I am using.
New sub...great video! Question about the bit torrent step: is there a way to do that step without using bit torrent? The reason I ask is once I was downloading a movie to watch thru my kodi app on nvidia shield and wasn’t aware it was downloading thru bit torrent (thru a 3rd party app) and my cable company flagged my account for using a torrent.
Thank you so much for the sub it really means a lot to me.
Huh, who do you have for cable if you mind me asking? I wonder if it was the content more than anything or the website it was being downloaded from. I mean you can use NZB the link is on that list on the arcade punks image list. I personally don't know anything about NZB nor do i know if you would get flagged again. Here is a downloader www.techsono.com/usenet/nzb/eznzb . Hope this helps.
I GOT IT , You could also just do just a plain retropie install, and then download a mame .78 and finalburn complete rom sets. I am going to throw this guy a few views ruclips.net/video/Jw330wZZ6dg/видео.html
in the description he has links to google drives you can just download all the winrar files and then once you have all of them. Unzip them to desktop and install them to your Pi via Wifi connection. (I have a video on that)
Then use my video called using scraper to get your images and videos for the roms. That shouldn't get you flagged though it is much harder then the video above. You will have about the same thing minus a few games.
Rival Boss I am with Cox cable. I would take a chance but no other internet options until Fios comes into my area. Great ideas! I will give the other video a view and check out your other video of course. Thanks! Looking forward to you next vid!!
hey RB, i need your help, i'm really stuck. following the steps for setting up retropie image and i missed a step somewhere. i have the torrent files from bittorent to a single file on my desktop, but i keep getting a single .zip file, not a image file. unable to get it on my etcher. also, I'm on a mac, fyi in case that changes any steps

All the controls work fine in emulationstation but when I go into attract mode only the joy stick works no buttons. How do you get it to work?
They just are setup differently if you need to change them in attractmode just plug in a keyboard and hit tab. Will bring up setup for controls.
I dont know why but the original Mortal Kombat 3 have slow down and dont run proprely ???
What Pi are you running?
Rival Boss 3 B+
Awsome tutorial. One thing I can’t figure out is how to enter in game controls menu. For example I’d like to change button maps for Mortal Kombat but keep it game specific. Please help!
Actually I have the same question
Want to modify the button layout for mortal kombat
Mr...Boss I need some help... I install my mod... everything looks good but no sound..I have installed an amp....and aux cable to it? Please help
So your running a 3.5mm cable from the vga board to the amp 3.5 or mp3 in? Make sure the amp works by plugging something else into it (phone will work) see if you hear say a youtube video audio. If you dont maybe a bad amp. If you do hear something then its likely wiring issue
I was freaking out....this is a cabinet gift 🎁 for my kids for Christmas 🎄.... it turn out great 👍🏽 ...and I can’t wait to play... ... thanks for all your videos 👍🏽
I have audio from phone, but not during boot up through retro pi. Using R/L to mini. Any ideas? Could it be the flash?
Rival Boss. I can make it to the attract-mode, but no button is working to get me to the emulation screen
Plug in a keyboard and press alt f4. Attract mode has its own control settings in its options
i keep gettin a grey screen while playing smash tv!!! anyone one else having that problem too?! seems like when i go to press multiple buttons at once the screen goes grey... can still hear the game and the button inputs work just no video. any advice would be great!
Hmmm i would have to reload the image to test. Was working on a new video. My guess is that game resolution ratio might need to be adjusted. (The select plus one of the buttons in game will pull up retroarch menu) or maybe when game boots up press "A" and go into settings for game. Then maybe try a different emulation for the game. Lastly you could try to move game to the final burn folder and try final burn. It works with alot of games mame has a bug with.
How do you edit a pre made image after the fact? for example I want to add Snk Vs Capcom Chaos and fix issues with some of the games not running properly on this image
Just connect to it via wifi, and then add the roms files to the correct folders. I have a few videos on that on my channel.
Rival Boss I got it figured out! The game was already in my system. Just had to change the emulator for it. I do have a different question for you. My Raspberry Pi is heating up regularly. Do you recommend using the unit without the case? Are you experiencing any heating issues
@@LoztkozL4M I bought a cheap cpu fan, my pi is in a case inside the cab. The fan keeps it cool and I even have it overclocked. (For N64 Killer Instinct Gold :P) Currently running the bigger 128GB image I have in a different video of mine.
Rival Boss Thanks for answering my questions, just have a couple more if you don’t mind! so overclocking is only necessary if you are running n64 games like KI gold? I’m only running standard arcade games like neo geo and cps. Also I’m not sure if I notice slight delay on controller input I feel there is. Is there anyway to fix that? I’m using pi 3 and easyget zero delay encoders for controls. Same stuff eta prime used
I mean it could be something with the encoders you bought. The normal pi 3 should be enough for those games. I just went with a Pi 3B+ because of the other wifi and bluetooth things it included. I would say. Try to plug in a keyboard. remap controls to it. Play a game with the usb encoders and then with the keyboard if there is a difference then its the encoders, if there isn't its the Pi needing to be overclocked.
If I already have retropie on my sd card...do I just reformat the card then flash the image?
If its a full image off of arcade punks yes
@@ValkyrieVewas Thanks, I'm new to all this
what if you do not have wifi..can you still do these upgrades for the Arcade 1 and play the games?
Yep that is more so just to add roms to the image after your done. Check out my newest video I have a 128GB image all set you just need to download it unzip it to one file and burn it to the sd card.
Anyone get shadow dancer to load? Was one of my favorites at a local burger joint growing up, attract vid plays but kicks me back out when loading
Thats a bummer. I mean it shouldn't be that hard to find a single mame rom. And just add it to one of thr emulators via wifi. So couldnt check all of the games. Look for .78 i believe mame wise. I may even look for it later if i remember lol
How do I make my game high score save? Every time I shut down or change games my high scores are lost.
I have Track and Field up and the button configuration is not right. How do I get in to set up button configuration when the game is loaded?
I tried hitting the tab button on my keyboard but it doesn’t open the game up
Another great video made hella easy to do all of this. Do you know roughly how many emulators are on this??
Thank you for the comment! Means alot to me. I dont remember how many off the top of my head but do remember it being a very good image. Check my 1000 subs video for my big personal image.
Great video. I was able to get everything to work except after I configured my controls in Emulation Station and went back to Attract mode and the controls did not save. I could exit back to Emulation Station and they work great. Any advice how to fix this??
brettchafin04 I couldn’t find the file he is using but downloaded a similar version, said it was corrupt...question does this download come pre loaded with retro pie or is pie on there prior to loading the torrent? That’s I’m getting a rainbow screen and need help
Just downloaded the torrent from ArcadePunks and all when I try extract them it says there is no archive.
Is there some where else I can find this?
When you turn it off do you have to reprogram everything? Thanks for your patience L&S+1
What about a Hyperpie setup :)
Thank you for the sub means alot to me! No you wont lose anything. The config file will save. All your save states will stay. Only way you should lose them if your sd card dies. Thus watch the video on how to back up your image incase this ever happens.
My keyboard not responding can't get to emulation station to map buttons only one button works any help
Are you using a gaming keyboard that needs drivers? My keyboard in these videos is just a cheap walmart logitech.
A lot of the commands are still in the system as last used commands you could try to scroll down to get to a emulationstation (with joystick not sure if this will work or not.) Try a different none driver needing keyboard.
Also I just remembered I think Attract Mode has a way in the settings to go to emulationstation. Something like reboot in attract mode.
My joysticks are none responsive only two buttons are working one button I hit it it scrolls down though games then another button works then I'll hit that and it says add this game to favorites and then can't get out of that
@@Hehehehe._ Ok so try plugging in a keyboard that doesn't need drivers (try a few) Press "Alt F4" when your sitting in main menu. This HOPEFULLY will kick you out to command line. At which time you need to type in emulationstation. Then use the keyboard and make your way to controller setup (might be esc) or might pop up when emulation station first boots.
I have audio on menu screen but not during gameplay.. any idea?
Check to make sure your retropie audio is set to HDMI. Retropie settings> audio, and change the output to HDMI. Let me know if that works. If you have sound in main menu and not in roms a audio setting needs to be changed in Retroarch or retropie
So crazy... looking at google.. results show im not the only one. Lol. All audio works menu and Neo Geo games... but not any other in game audio like ie: pacman or dk any idea? I tried so much .. i just dont get it.
Being its a brand new install ... why am i having these issues. Everything is brand new, and I followed everything step by step. Would it be adviseable to reformat my sd and start over? Just weird that all is brand new, never been plugged in and configured, yet i have config issues. Thanks the the advice.
@@BullDawgbull Yah it could be just even something to do with the vga board. Are you sure you set the sound to HDMI in retropie settings? Yah a reflash wouldn't hurt. I also have a new video coming out with a 128GB (14K game) image soon that is about as easy as you get setup wise. should have that finished in next few days.
@@ValkyrieVewas yes, I checked all the settings and all of them are set to hdmi. I'll wait for your update before I reflash. Thank you!
Do you burn it to the same SD card that retro pie is installed on ??
Needs to be a blank card, nothing on it. Everything included check out my other videos to find a image you like. I have a ton of them now. My Thank you 1000 subs image is really nice or I have 32GB ones also check them out ;)
Awesome thank you.
I think I am confusing myself because there is only 1 slot on the pie. If I take that SD card out and put a new one in with the rom pack on it won't PIe be deleted since the SD card that doesn't have the retro pie on it not be inserted ?
All of these images are complete they have the roms , operating system and configuration. Sometimes you have to change things a little to get it to fit your needs (aka TV or arcade cab) nut that's about it!
Crazy question but how do add more games like Killer instinct to this?
Also thanks for the video very easy instructions on how to install the software.
I'm trying to overclock a PI B+ with this image (some roms tend to slow down while playing). I've tried to do it through the menu but I keep getting an error message. Can anyone assist?
I noticed that games like NBA JAM RAMPAGE WORLD TOUR and NBA HANG TIME RUN SUPER SLOW. I have a B plus
I don't currently have the image loaded up, but they seemed fine when I tried them. You can overclock your pi if you need more performance. Just make sure to get a fan before you do.
I have a B plus also. It takes a really good power supply and they run at full speed, but if you get a voltage drop (even a little) they slow down. The 3b plus takes more power. I'm currently using a 2.5 amp power supply and it still slows from time to time if the voltage drops. I've since added an overvolt flag to my config file and that helped almost eliminate it. I'm considering downgrading to a regular 3b and trying default settings just so I don't need the overvolt flag.
@@vorenge yes i changed out the adapter and it has improved it, so now they run perfectly.
@@RedCGaming so awesome! In glad you got it figured out. 👍
@@vorenge worth noting as well, i had to change out my usb cord because even with the new adapter it showed low voltage. So remember to quality cord makes a big difference too
So what you are saying is. That image you downloaded has all those games in it? Also does it lag any?
Yes the image in this video, and in the link has all the games, emulators in it already. You basically follow the above video, feel free to ask if you have a problem, and bam you have a fully working arcade 1up machine with tons of games. (After you install the hardware of course also) Can provide a link to that if needed. I am using a Raspberry Pi B+ (you can overclock B to 1300mz also) I don't see any lag on all emulators on this image. (This is a mostly Final burn, and mame using image) Runs great!
Here is a video of my larger 128 (a little more work to set up everything) but just a idea to show you what you can do with this. ruclips.net/video/wbTKtfcXX3Q/видео.html
Is this the same image that ETA uses? Also will these images work on the Raspberry Pi 4?
Retropie doesn’t support rp4 yet.
Thanks for another great tutorial. I just purchased my Street fighter machine and it arrives on Tuesday. I actually had an original arcade machine many years back of Street Fighter. I also purchased all the ETA prime suggested parts and they also arrive by Tuesday. I like your coin select button placement and will be doing the same. Long winded but which download did you use for your 128 gig card? I like the look of the one you used in another video with the marvel start up. Are you able to post a link to that file like you did for this 32 gig file? Thanks again and I look forward to more videos!
Help my screen doesn’t fit in the arcade 1up
ruclips.net/video/uJrjgYTWNOk/видео.html&t
Nice job 👍
I wonder if anyone can make an arcade1up theme menu screen, a vertical screen theme, load screen on roms that shows control layout...any of these be cool
That would be awesome, it is easy to make a start up screen (only takes a min to install) only problem with making overlays are screen is 4 by 3 so that kind of thing works better on a custom arcade machine with a 16 by 9 or 10 ratio screen.
Can it automatically boot to emulation station instead of attract mode every time?
Yes you can, Will try to reload it into my pi sometime soon, and figure out the easier way to do it.
wow great tutorial!
Have all the stuff dude.....my issue with my apple mac is to unzip files to one file tried winzip just not extracting and i need one file
Is killer instinct included in the image?
will this also work on a pc? or only the rasberry pi?
This is a pi image, but yes you can. You burn it to a hard drive. I personally have never tried, but this might make for a good video later on.
Hello, so its been a while, but I am noe having issues trying to do one of the procedures. I have all of the programs, but after downloading the BitTorrent I cant seem to go on from there. I went into winrar and selected the BitTorrent and it doesnt allow me to extract files. It says no archives found in selected files and folders. Am I supposed to do anything before thst I am missing on? I went into the BitTorrent but I didnt know what to do with that, so I closed out of it.
So did you download the bittorrent file from arcade punks (its the file that tells bittorrent what to download) will be a small file. Should come up with the icon of bittorrent on it. Just double click on it wont be zipped or anything. Bittorrent should pop up (also when your done downloading the image file make sure close bittorrent or it will continue to seed) after you double click that file you downloaded from arcade punks. Bit should pop up and start to download the file in your downloads folder. Will take a while its a 25gb something file. After that you will of downloaded a zipped winrar file. Go into that file by double clicking and then drag the .img file folder to your desktop. Then after it is done unzipping use ecther to burn the image to the sd card.
Is there any issue using a pie B vs B+?
No I don't think so, since this doesn't have any real ps1 or newer roms. Believe it should be good enough to run without lag. If it does lag a little you can overclock the B to B+ speed with a heatsink on it fairly easy.
does this have SF II anniversary edition (arcade)
I believe it does, I can try to check. But honestly I feel you will be very happy with the image, and if this one doesn't I am sure the one in this videos description does. ruclips.net/video/pAif7RGG-U8/видео.html
Is a keyboard necessary to complete the setup?
You can go to emulationstation via settings in Attract Mode see if that works vs typing emulationstation
@@ValkyrieVewas Thanks man! Are you thinking of doing or have a tutorial on how to setup on/off switch and control volume? Really appreciate the vids!
