Wow, this is an oldie , thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel… it’s much appreciated! Also welcome and thanks for subscribing, I hope you enjoy some of the older content too. I tried to make the channel diverse but some topics just didn’t stick. The channel today is mostly original arcade gaming but I switch it up from time to time. Thanks again and enjoy!
Ralph you've come a long way since this video. Thanks for the review. I'm in the process of picking up a Chewlix with a Chamma connector and was considering making this the brains of the unit, but after watching this video I think I will go a different route...maybe PC or Xbox One.
hey Ralph...If you ever mod a rampage cabinet into a 3 or 4 player gauntlet please post a video..I actually think that the better game if you could play it with more than 2 players.. Awesome ideas brewing on these arcade 1 ups...keep the mods coming.. Thanks again Ralph for all your postings
Alright Ralph you did it! Congrats man. As of right now 40 subscribers. That’s really good for one day. Looking forward to the coming videos. Lets keep it like the live feeds and experiment on some of the things your followers want to see. Is Richie in here trolling you? Haha.
Alexandro Gutierrez wow... I must have missed this comment but in a little more than a months time we’re at 1700+ subscribers! That’s pretty exciting man! So any suggestions on things you want to see on the channel?
LMAO here we are again..... this time with a Real question. I have made a Multi-Cab with a CRT i wonder what would be a better looking swap ELF or PANDORAS BOX ? 4 CRT
If you need 15Khz CRT support, in 2023 I would go with the Pandora's Box 30th Jamma version. Here's the link if you need it: www.diyretroarcade.com/products/pandoras-box-10th-anniversary-jamma-version-5142-in-1-official-3a-games-release
@@RetroRalph Ok one of the things that i wish so much was that the pandoras box is such a pain when it comes to some so simple as attract music and sounds / Like Hyper spin and UltraCades - or when you Use a Pi4 with Jamma adaptor and ISO. Which of those have you used as custom ISO on a empty CAB ?
+Retro Ralph My game elf runs all the games and not a problem they seem like they are the original speed and I only got my game elf 412 for $112 AUD why dose you monitor or tv say 1920x1080 60hz are you using a vga to hdmi converter They only put out vga and I think cga try a vga Monitor Check you sd card and see if it’s a clone brand sd card mine says Toshiba and it’s not a clone Don’t forget there are clone game elf jamma cards
Thanks for your support of the channel, it's much appreciated! I don't believe my board is a clone. I own the verticle GameElf and I find that it emulates games great. I'm not sure why the horizontal one that I have emulated games so poor. Do you think maybe they have a more current version and I possibly have one with older firmware? The output is 1080 because my test rig runs it through an upconverter. Thanks again for watching and please subscribe if you enjoy the content.
+Retro Ralph please note as well do not use -5v on the game elf it’s only 12v ground 5v ground The game elf dose not use any negative voltages this can effect gameplay and game loading problems it could a bad rom see if yours has as card in the side I haven’t looked at mine yet idk if it’s for system/linux or for the roms cheers
91rickstar Thanks for the tip. It’s running on an arcade PS with no negative voltage -5 connected. It does have an SD card on the side. The serial number on the card matches the serial number on the board. If this is a clone, they did a pretty good job creating an identical clone. I have a vertical game elf and it runs great, so I’m not sure. Maybe so will buy another one just to rule out it being a clone. Thanks again for the help and supporting the channel. 👍🏻
I put a game elf in my MS Pac Man and have no issues. I used a 12v switching power supply and have no issues. Its the 412 in 1. I also have the horizontal one with 615 games I believe. It is not slow either.
Oh my god, your pandoras box had "the king of fighters 2002 magic plus 2" & "the king of fighters 2002 magic plus 3"??, i hope that those two hack rooms come in my retro pie that i buy on ebay, your lucky to have those tittles
I love Metal Slug! The Pandora's box emulates it pretty well. There's no replacement for the MVS or AES hardware though. Check out my video on Neo Geo hardware if you get a chance. Thanks for watching!
IF someone DID have a game elf board, and wanted to swap it to play different games, what would be the best option? Is something like a Pandora's box just a plug and play switch?
Raspberry Pi for me. I want to put all my favorite 4 player games on the TMNT Arcade 1up cabinet: Bucky O' Hare, Sunset Riders, G. I. Joe, Simpsons, etc...
Are they DIY installations or do I need to have someone install them ? Its a Mortal combat game and cabinet with 12 games on it ... I wanting to install all the street fighters.... marvel and capcom games is this a possibility
Lysol ! I know man there’s no cleaning product strong enough to clean off this turd. 🤣. Pass on the Horizontal game elf all day long. Thanks for watching!
Have you made a review about the odroid xu4 yet? If not you should man and compare it to a PC set-up, a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ as well as maybe like a Pandora's Box 6 just so people can see the pros and cons of each and the comparison really if possible.
I just ordered an Odriod ux4 the other day. I probably won't get to it for a few weeks but I will for sure get a review posted as soon as I can. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.

"The Game Elf, is The Shit Elf."
I don't know why, but I just started bursting out laughing when I heard that.
LOL...I did too when I was editing it. I'm like "should I take that out"... it was 1am so I was like "screw it"... freakin elf!

Wow that pedestal in the back with ryu on the side panel it awesome
Were you playing on a LCD or CRT - I have heard CRT works much better with the Vertical ELF board
Why I have the feeling you needed some sleep in this video :P
Man, You're going deep into the archive. That was really late at night when I filmed that if I remember correctly.
Can you swap that Game ELF out for a better board if it is on a arcade machine?
Could it be a lack in power supply ?
Is the game elf the only one that can be installed ...
Arcade1up cabinets are blank canvases in a way, you can do whatever you want with them. That's one benefit, they're relatively easy to Modify.
Are they DIY installations or do I need to have someone install them ? Its a Mortal combat game and cabinet with 12 games on it ... I wanting to install all the street fighters.... marvel and capcom games is this a possibility
RR how would you compare this to a neo geo mvsx or even a legends ultimate?
Hey @retro Ralph I'm getting ready to gut my street fighter cab... Should I go the Pi3 or pandora route & why? Thanks Brotha 🤛
can you added games to the game elf?
How can anyone navigate that game list? They're not in order

can i change jamma to pandora 4
Game Elf sucks! lol
Screen tearing and slowdown on CPS2 games, yuck. A raspberry pi ZERO runs rings around this POS.
Problem is Whyte ppl are so spoiled and privileged we can't take your opinion 🧘🏽♂️
I have a pandora's box I bought a while back, it sucks shit compared to the real jamma boards I have, image quality and sound are both terrible
How old is it? The old ones for sure "sucked shit" as you put it. HAHA
Man, Irata just flat out stole Atari's logo.
1. Hyperspin 2. Retro Pi 3. Pandora’s Box ... in that order.
Well I'd say 1. Real hardware
super console X pro 50.000
That board is way underpowered
