Havent had the chance to install my mod kit yet but just wanted to chime in that Showtime shipped super quick and at least pre-sales support has been excellent. Looking forward to trying this out soon.
Quick question, I ordered a Street Fighter deluxe cabinet from arcade 1. I know the joystick panel is a lot smaller and the panel in the front protrudes out now. Have you guys done one with this option before? Concerned with the new button install. Also, Is it still considered a gen 2 when I order the kit? Thank you guys.
Absolutely fantastic, got it put and put it together..was a breeze save for my screws adding an extra 30 min to come off and not strip. Worth the price to not get batocera virus drives lmao!Thanks again showtime guy! question though. I know how to turn it off via the menu but how do you turn it on? By way of the power strip? hoping not to fry it.. thanks.
Happy to hear it was a breeze. To turn it off safely, press the select button from the main screen and choose “shut down.” You still need to flip the power switch off of the strip. To turn back on you simply turn the switch on the strip.
this was an awesome tutorial. is there a way to ONLY have certain genres of games? for instance, i am looking for 1 cabinet to ONLY be fighting games. 1 cabinet to ONLY be beat-em-ups, etc. & wont play most of the console games (if ever)
@@ThePsychoticCircusofSavannah yes. It’s pretty simple. You can easily create a folder in the settings. Choose beat em ups to be in a specific folder. It’ll automatically create the folder with all of them. Hide the rest of the folders and you’ll never see them again. 👍
Was hoping if you could tell me what the 30 pin connector as well as the 3 pin white connector do specifically. It'd be great to know all the ins and outs of each connector.
@@Mandoscoffeex7-21 to add a game to favorites you have to highlight a game. Then press and hold the action button until a menu pops up. Then choose add to favorites. The same to remove a game from favorites.

@@grgmj1980 we currently sell 3 different sizes depending on your arcade. However, the deluxe does not have that panel due to the design being different.

It comes 8-way and if you’d like you can switch it to 4-way. You can also add wireless controllers that will have both a d-pad and analog stick so there are many options.
Question, I also have the legacy edition but it's the non marquis light up and no riser version. Anyone kno what the measurement of that predrilled panel area would be?

that cool but i have simpsons arcade 1up i dont see anyone sell 4 player controller with 6 button anymore on facebook or ebay even amazon dont have anymore i see 1 that year ago but now i dont see it hm all gone
@@astrovewlix that’s so far from the truth. Nothing against the soft mod, but soft mod is far less powerful and capable. This cab can’t be soft modded anyways as some a1ups are not android and even then not all have a software for.
Moddin these units require alot of thought cause u r completely replacing d arcade1up engine & transmission which is very easy to swap out but very costly. Anyone who has the money n knowledge to do this might as well go the extra mile. It wont cost much again to rebuild a bigger shell to fit 2 players comfortably with a better monitor n do own custom graphics. D biggest cost was d engine n tranny swap.
The biggest problem, as to why people choose the arcade1up machines, is because of space and weight. You just can't beat an arcade1up if space and weight are a factor. Most people just are not going to deal with that. This is why arcade1up is so popular👍💯
