I like how you actually went over the hardest part IMO, which was the buttons with the encoders. The other videos just glossed over them or just showed the drill bit parts.
Appreciate this! Just purchased the SF2 1Up and will end up modding it when I want some new games!! Thanks!
Thank you for this . I have done everything that you did after seeing thos and i love it .. thanks dude
I was able to mod the controller that comes with the arcade box to work with the buttons. This helped me bypass the process of needing new USB boards and eliminated the need for controller setup. However, modding the controller was just as long to deal with.
Thanks so much for the video!
Which arcade cabinet did you mod?
Jason, Can you explain how you did it please? Thanks
Post a video then genius thanks for bragging
So this will work on the first Gen. Street fighter cabinet. I've been dying to do this to play. The alpha street fighter games definitely gonna follow your tutorials. They're very straightforward. Thank you for not doing a 50 minute intro about your sponsors. Or trying to make money I. Appreciate the straightforward video.
Great video 😀
Thank you
good stuff!!!!!! very helpful,,...
Thanks you answered all the question i was going ask , explained very well bro , but i noticed with arcade box even on regular tv when in menu the button are revered and in the game its the other way , what can i do ,?
I love the vid I can’t wait to do this with my pac man gen 1!
Yes the lcd board for this model should work with yours
Pacman has a vertical monitor. you can do the 60 in 1 or the king of air 2 with 516 vertical games. But you have to flip the monitor 180 degree. If you wants to do the 33000 game, the display will be at a 90 degree angle. JMHO.
I tried this with a similar box. Same as you the 16:9 worked great on the 4:3 screen with games like mortal combat and other “horizontal” games. However, with “vehicle” games like Galaga, it stretches them too much unless you set I back to 4:3 for all of those. Did you have this same issue? I did with Super Console X and bailed on it for that reason. I didn’t want all the manual setup. Instead I used a $65 small computer and Batocera (same as Emulec pretty much).
Can you keep the already existing buttons/stick configuration to play the arcade box?
So I had an question how would I switch the game such as tmnt 1up arcade into gauntlet I just want the one game? Would it be possible because it has the same amount of buttons?
Is there a place specifically that I can go to if I just want to install one game, such as darkstalkers?
do u think i could use the beats pill for a speaker? i have the gen 3 UMK3. that has the speakers up on the top head board. i actually think the sound is pretty good asis.
How do you switch from game to another game? I have to keep unplugging the arcade one up and restart the arcade box
How do you know what generation you have? I just purchased the NBA jam four player
Does anyone know if the HDMI adapter would work on a NeoGeo MVSX machine?
I purchased nba jam, Ms Pac-Man, and men vs street fighter. Will the arcade box mod work with these cabinets?
I definitely need help with the game pads i tried the way you said but i just can not get p2 to function for the life of me lol 😭
Is the new mortal Kombat 2 arcade machine on arcade's 1up website still the same generation as the one you have because it looks a little different
can you help me i did all of this works great but where do i wire the start button to? i cant get the menu for the controller setup to pop up?
What size drill bit did you use to make the holes for the additional buttons?
Arcade box isn’t available wired (your link). Do you have another link and/or do you sell ones?
Hi 😉 please check Input 1+2 is set on "default" setting in Controller settings. Try a manual setting for your USB Controller boards Input 1+2 this should fix your Input controller mapping Problems in emuelec. A lot of other settings are directly in retroarch by "restart retroarch". Nice upgrade👍 Have a lot of fun 😃
Ramin, are you saying that the old setup he posted can actually work? I ask because I ordered all the stuff he listed, but has not been delivered yet. Thanks
@@PreppyvibesAdeline @•coconut blossom• Should be work 👍Mapping was the biggest problem that i had with my diy Arcade. Manual settings needed after you set USB Controller Boards. Every single reboot he saved not Player 1/2 mapped to the boards 😵💫
i have everything showing up today to mod my mk2 now i find out mk2 is not just a gen 2 like i was told so now i need to send the new button board back hopefully not everything i got for it
Will this work with tmnt arcade 1 with 4 controllers?
I must note to you that you do not need to protect the board from The Metal. It's actually safer screwing it to the metal with nothing in-between. So long as you have metal screw sleeves so it can hover and not pressed against. Or drill 4 holes and use the plastic press in mounting clips Those are cheap.
Reason is fire safety and also metal housing around the board in case it blows and doesn't spark out to the surrounding wood.
I deal with control circuits on commercial hvac. Boards are always screwed to the metal or done by use of clips. There's never anything in-between.
The housing around it was just there for fire safety in case something blows it doesn't spark out to hit the wood. But the original cover can be bent into shape to cover the new board. Pliers should work.
thanks thats what i thought.
Great video. For some reason, my control deck is only recognizing 3 buttons and the up/down on the joystick. But i cannot select any option like to configure the controls.
Any ideas what is wrong? Do i have to use the ps2 controllers that came with ARCADE BOX to configure the control deck?
Yes plug in the ps2 controllers and hit select and configure controls. Once there, unplug them and plug in the arcade controls and configure them
Hi Greg, I modded my MKII cab with this arcade box but somehow I mess up the button setting on the gamepad, is there a way to reset the arcade box gamepad setting? I also done the control panel with the usb encoder but still have trouble mapping the button.
If you mess up, you need to plug a controller in that came with the arcade box. The controller is already mapped. Use that to hit start at the main menu and go to controller settings and then configure a controller. Once you get there, unplug the controller and plug in the left side arcade controls. Map the buttons then plug in the right side arcade controls and map them. A good way to make sure the controls are correct is to play mortal Kombat. If player 1 is the left side and player 2 the right, you did it right. If they are backwards, swap USB ports on the arcade box but you have to set the controls all over again one at a time. Gamepad1 needs to be on the left and gamepad2 needs to be on the right. Hope that helps
Greg, I have the PAC - MAN Deluxe Arcade one joystick. I was wondering if we can mod that one. I haven't found any videos for moding it. what are your thoughts
if a man wanted a coin button, would the coin and select button be the same button?
Would this work for the NFL blitz arcade 1up?
Can this be done on a nba jam 3/4 arcade not sure what gen but I do know it has wifi but no lighted buttons? Its still new in box got it on clearance last year and waiting to put it together after I make room in the garage.
I’ve not tried it on one of those yet. It all depends on the monitor if you can connect an hdmi video card to it.
Any change do you know if this w or of work with the Street Fighter II Champion Turbo Legacy Edition
Is the mortal Kombat 3 ultimate a generation 1 or 2 or legacy it's the one from sam's club
Great video! Thanks for the links too! I think I am about to do this! Just a quick question….do you have to turn it on and off from the back every time you use it?? Thanks! Have a great day!
Can this be done on the NFL Blitz arcade1up?
Man your video are great . I have two arcades and fixing to mod mine. The Simpsons with 4 joystick and roller in middle also comes with wifi , the other is mortal kombat 1st gen, witch would you mod? And would the wifi have any benefit?
I would do the Mortal Kombat model. I don’t know anyone that has modded the Simpson’s model so I don’t know if the LCD board would work. I know for sure the LCD board listed in the description will work with that model. Right now I’m modding the newest mortal Kombat legacy model and I listed that lcd board in the description as well. They each require a different one. Also the arcade box has WiFi and you can log on to the internet and customize your start up screen and menu screen.
@@Oracle_insight I saw a 1up Simpsons molded tho
@@gomigang2875 I’m sure there is a way to do it; you would probably need to change the entire monitor out. When I tried nodding my old Simpson’s arcade I couldn’t find a video card that worked with the Simpson’s monitor to get hdmi to work with the screen.
Hey! This is a great video. I'm going to be doing this myself. What size step bit? There are multiple options when you click the link. Thank you!😊
My Arcade Box is not showing the Video game preview in The Game List
Somebody help me please
It says the buttons are only compatible with windows 8 and below, are there any other buttons I can use that are compatible with windows 11?
How's the latency compared to the original Arcade1up built in MK?
What was the total cost to convert this box?
You can remap the inputs you dont have to move the buttons
Why wouldn't you go with a 4 player cabinet?
can you add games to the arcade box? i want to put cherry master on one.. its an old 8 liner slots machine if you dont know what cherry master is lol
Is there a better option for turning on and off than to just unplug every time or leaving the back open and clicking the button?
I too have this question and or can use the original on off switch?
Why do I need to remap the controls why can’t I just use the originals
Just curious on the type of foam you used for the back of the screen and also where i can get it?
Thank you!
Bought it from a craft store.
@Greg Walker. I have the same mk2 1up. How to tell if its 1st or 2nd gen 1up
If it looks like the one in this video you are good. 3rd Gen has speakers up top and has a different shape.
I cannot get my buttons mapped properly. If player one is correct, player 2's buttons go back to default and vice versa. What am I doing wrong? I did exactly what you say in the video.
I’ve had issues with this every once in awhile. Basically map player 1 with just player 1 side plugged in, then plug player 2 into the arcade box and map player 2. Go into a mortal Kombat game and make sure on the character select screen player 1 creates the green square highlighted box over the characters. Then click start on player 2 and make sure player 2 is the red highlight box over the characters. Test the game and make sure buttons work. After playing the game exit to the main menu and shut down the system. Turn it back on, go back into moral Kombat and make sure player 1 hasn’t swapped to player 2. You will know if the buttons swapped if player 2 is now the green highlight over the characters. If this happens exit the game and swap ports on the arcade box and remap the controls for player 1 then plug player 2 into the other port and remap. Test the game again and then exit and turn off system. Turn back on and go to mortal Kombat again and if player 1 is green, the problem should be solved.
can you add more games to this system>?
Also when i do controller 1 i know you said disconnect player 2 so when i do player 2 do i need to disconnect player one ? Or no ? And for display , couldnt you do the advanced setting for full display. At the all games tab instead of systems one by one ?
Yes you can full screen that way and sometimes player 1 and 2 get swapped so to test that player 1 and player 2 are correct, play mortal Kombat and it will show which controller is player 1 and 2. The. Turn game off and play again and make sure it’s actually player 1 and 2 by playing mortal Kombat again. If backwards switch them.
Have you ran into a problem with the boot up going straight into a green screen the emeulec boot up screen will appear then all of a sudden it goes green ? Just curious if you or anyone has had this problem
I haven’t; does it boot up at all or just green screen every time?
@@Oracle_insight boots up but before loading all the emulators it green screens ordered a new arcade box under then warranty so hopefully it’s just the box it’s self
@@isaaclujan2559 yeah I’ve never had one do that
Did the arcade box come with the old (but great) "Dragon's Lair" laser disk game?
Yes
@@Oracle_insightAwesome. My brother was one of those people who could finish the whole game on 1 try. People would gather around and watch.
Does it have NFL Blitz?
Awesome job! Are you going to change the Art on the cab and give it a skin?👍👍
@@Oracle_insight Wow! That's awesome! You found a cool way to make some cash. Good for you man! 👍💯
@@RETROOBLIVION thanks, anyone can do it now with these videos I post.
Can this mod be done on my TMNT cabinet I want a 4 player mod??? Please help
Haven’t tried it, yet, the arcade box only has 2 USB ports so you would need 4 to plug into a 4 player arcade machine
I want to buy the mortal kombat midway legacy 12-1 will that work ??
Yes I have another video showing that model, you just have to buy a different video card. It should be listed in the description.
How do you remove the joystick plate if is hot glued to the board
Hammer and flat head screw driver would work. Angle it and give it a tap until it comes lose
Hello where are you plugging the two usb cables coming from the encoders ?
They plug into the Arcade box, player 1 and 2
Use any mortal Kombat game to make sure player 1 and 2 are in the correct ports on the arcade box. When you enter the game, player 1 should be green highlighted box over characters and player 2 should be red. If they are backwards turn arcade box off and swap ports
I followed this video step by step and when I turned it on everything lit up and the screen comes on but just remains black. Any idea what that can be?
Possible ground issue, or wrong video/display card for whatever cab you are using. Also one time I accidentally pulled the chord out from the actual LCD board inside it and couldn’t figure out the problem. I had to remove the whole tv and discovered the chord came lose when I was plugging it into the video card.
I am using the same one in this video. The mortal kombat cab. I do see a wire coming out of the screen in the back which is not connected to anything. I am not sure where to plug it into.
When modified, do u lose the original game(s) that came on the Arcade 1up?
The arcade box should have all the original games on it
I have the blitz machine is there any type of joystick board I need to order because it only has three buttons
You can drill holes for more buttons. Also is that 4 player?
@@Oracle_insight yes
@@elijahwildhorse6735 the arcade box only has two usb ports for two players. Not sure if there’s an extension to add 4 player or if that would even work.
Please need help. Want to play. I get all the way and pick a game. Then it says my magic stick is not configured. But it worked for everything else
I don’t use the magic sticks for this method. You would only need the magic stick when using the switch fighting stick. I stopped using the switch fighting stick method because the firmware has changed on some of the magic sticks making that method not work anymore. Unless you bought the old version of the magic sticks before they updated the firmware, it will probably not work and you will need to buy the button kit and change out the buttons on the switch fighting stick.
ruclips.net/video/ekqL9wWkdbI/видео.html
If you already bought a switch fighting stick, upgrade it like I did in this video with a button kit. It will give you better buttons, it’s easy, the joysticks will work better, and you don’t need the magic sticks anymore.
is it necessary to remove buttons and joystick?
Yes
Will this work with the Capcom Legacy Arcade 1 up?
Yes but you'll have to get a different lcd board because it has a different monitor
Didn't ever figure it out. I'm in the process of missing mine today and it's good except the buttons and joystick all f'ed up now
Will this work on mvc2 arcade1up cabinet
Haven’t tried but it should; if it’s a gen 3 model, you will need the gen 3 lcd video card
Hi great video I’ve watched it many times, as I’m following your tutorial to mod my arcade1up street fighter 2 legacy edition . Just one question if any on can help. There’s no mention of the over head carousel light . How is that powered please reply thanks
There’s a few adapters you will need from amazon to make that work. Not all the cabs have the light up marquee. Let me see if I can find my parts list and I’ll add it into this comment.

Use the parts I linked to create a y adapter for power using your existing power cord into your light up marquee.
Do these games already on the arcade box? Or do you need to download? How do you know what Generation is the Arcade1up?? ? Help someone? S.O.S
Comes with the games on it and which arcade 1up do you have?
How are you powering the system on? Are you simply leaving it on and plugging it in?
Plug it in to turn on, and go to menu screen and click shut down system to turn off. Once it’s off I unplug it. You can also buy this and Velcro to the top to turn it on and off. www.amazon.com/Cordinate-Designer-Tabletop-Resistant-41095/dp/B0845S3KNJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=18KTMJ3UCU38W&keywords=plug%2Bpower%2Bon&qid=1652127515&sprefix=plug%2Bpower%2Bon%2B%2Caps%2C214&sr=8-2&th=1&psc=1
Hell of a job man... I'm going to give this a shot. Thank you for this. . Its appreciated
@@shawngrugel5078 no problem, do you have the new legacy model or this same one?
I have that same one. I bought tune Simpsons one as well... I'm afraid to mess with that one... but I got the MK Cabinet for next to nothing. I was thinking, I do have a Super Console X, it runs on that emulac as well. Do you think i could use that as opposed to the Arcade Box?
@@shawngrugel5078 yes that should work just the same as the arcade box
Is replacing the controllers optional or required
It’s required to work with the Arcade Box mini console
Do i have to change the buttons tho ? No creator is answering that 🤔
Yes
Must the buttons be changed?
Yes, in order to connect it to the arcade box with all the games. Honestly it’s so easy. I’ve done it so many times at this point. You don’t need to drill all the extra holes. I recommend doing at least one extra hole for each side for start and select but having two extra per side is even better.
LoL that button layout
How do we know gen is our machine ?
Ok, i watched the entire video and i want to give this a try. I have a killer instinct cabinet, do you know what HDMI LCD board should i use ?
Will it work on a 4 player arcade1up like the simpsons?
I don’t think so
A USB hub will work with 4 controllers on the Acade box so I would guess it is possible. I've tested and played with 4 players using a usb hub and four hand held controllers, so why not?
I did this step by step but screen shows nothing idk what happend no sparks or anything just screen no picture just grey
Which model of arcade do you have? Did you hook up the ground? And did you order the correct hdmi converter board for your screen. There are different hdmi converter boards specific to certain screens/models. Make sure you plugged the cord from the screen into the board the correct way. Also make sure you didn’t pull too hard on the cord when plugging it in as it can unplug from the actual Arcade1up screen. I accidentally pulled too hard once on mine, hooked it all up and had the same problem. Had to remove the screen from the Arcade1up and plug it back in.
It’s the wires on the back of lcd screen panel. There’s a ground wired, power, and a wire that plugs into the pins on the hdmi converter board. The one that plugs into the pins on the converter board can come unplugged very easily from up inside the metal panel of the screen if pulled on too hard. If that happens you need to remove the screen and metal panel to plug it back in.
Thanks I will try to take it apart and check it out..I thought the board was the correct one but I will make sure as well..I have the street fighter anniversary addition...
@@tiny683 ok let me know which board you ordered and also if you can, send me the numbers on the back of your lcd screen inside the cab. Should be a sticker with a model number. Then I can make sure you have the right board.
Somebody help, when I try to turn it on the screen turns white for a few seconds then goes to black, all the buttons are lit up but the screen won’t work
Sounds like a connection issue with your hdmi converter board. Make sure you have it installed properly, good ground, all cords are hooked in properly then make sure you didn’t pull too hard on the cord that connects to the pins on the board. A lot of people pull that cord to hard and it unplugs from inside the metal panel of the lcd screen. If that happened you have to take remove that metal panel and plug that cord back in. Next make sure you have a good hdmi cord.
Other problem can be the wrong hdmi converter board with the Arcade1up you have. Which model arcade are you using?
I’m using the street fighter 2 champ edition , trying to see right now if I can fix anything
@@oofer2028 ok I’ve modded that machine a lot, let me know how it goes. Also the cord that plugs into pins on hdmi board has to be plugged in the correct way on the board. Let me know if you get it working or need help
Hey, I have a gen 1/2 board and gen 3 board, when I use the gen 1/2 board the green light on the lcd thing turns green and goes to red very fast, screen stays black, but when I use my gen 3 board the light stays green and screen is stuck on white
Does this have Atari games?
Yes
I still can’t get it to work..
if you are doing the arcade box, try plugging into a tv or monitor and use the wifi game pad that usually come with your arcade box, get familar with it first, make sure everything is working before you plug in your control box, one you plug in the control box. do your button setup just as Greg's video. you can use one wifi remote in one USB and the encoder in the second USB. use you wifi remote pad to back up and select to get you out of setup if you get in trouble.
I got a no signal then screen went black
Either the wrong board for what model arcade you have; or a wire got pulled too hard from the monitor and disconnected. Both problems have happened to me. Once I pulled the wires too hard connecting to the pcb board and it was enough to unplug it from inside the monitor. Had to open the monitor and re plug it in.
Thank you that worked I got it going 🙂 do you know how to add more games I want to add jaguar games if they will run on it thank you again
Alls
Looks nice but a little complicated 😬
It is tricky but once u try and get going it gets easier , he explained it well tho
It just looks like you’ve ruined it imo
Wel luckily you don’t own or have to play it, right!?
@@Oracle_insight definitely!
ugliest buttons possible though lol
This was actually for a client, and this is how they wanted it
