@@jecobian absolutely. It’s the same exact setup. This setup has light gun games as well. You can also make a custom control deck and buy the light guns to fit in the control deck.
Does this mod work pretty similarly with the 4 player Xmen Arcade 1up? Also is there are more simplified version of this mod that just involves the the rasberry pi and software while utilizing the same buttons and layout already included with my Arcade 1up? My goal is just to play other arcade 4 player games on my machine.
@@Arshay yes we have a 4 player video that shows how it’s done. It’s virtually the same. Buttons and joysticks need to be swapped in order to plug into the raspberry pi.
@@ShowtimeGaming101 I think the image you’re using might be statically mapping the controllers to specific tty devices during the control button mapping process, bc I’m fairly sure the pi doesn’t ensure any order . Running into this situation with a different image I’m running currently 😢 Just wanted to mention this in the comments in case anyone else is in my boat!
@@LarryEspenshade we save them by keeping them under the control deck but don’t use them. You can connect the power switch to the gpio of the raspberry pi as long as you have a standby monitor. That would safely shut the pi on/off but you would still need to power the marquee somehow and you’d need relays and we have no way of making it plug n play for now. It does complicate things but we have done it, without having a plug n play solution.
RasPis are very basic System on Chips (SoCs), that run some form of android/linux As opposed to a PC...that's well a PC. If you've ever built a Desktop, a mini pc is the same thing, just smaller, and depending on the form factor of the motherboard, less upgradable. People who opt for the RasPi tend to do so for it's lower cost, power consumption, very small size, and fairly quick startup. People who opt for PCs, do so for more power, capability, and more assess to emulator and if desired, the ability to play more modern games, such as those on the steam marketplace. In short, the RasPi is the cheap, entry level option for modders. A PC, is the more expensive, but more premium performance option for modders.
@@ragingtyga A mini PC would be easier to setup. It’s prebuilt and usually has Windows preinstalled. Any person can essentially get through the initial Windows setup. Raspberry Pi requires some knowledge of Linux/Android and command line experience. You have to install the OS to a microsd, place the board in a custom case if that’s your desire and further config your setup to get anything up and running. Even watching a simple RUclips video at 1080p60fps seems like a chore to the raspberry pi 5.
Good question. Our raspberry pi 4B plays up to the Dreamcast, ps1, n64, psp era and older generations with no issues. The mini pc will have more games as it is more capable of playing newer consoles without much hesitation. Those consoles would include GameCube, ps2, Wii, wiiu and the majority of those games can be played at 720p mostly without much issue and in some cases 1080p
do you think there will ever be a mod for the 1up light gun cabs?

On a different topic. In Batocera, for games like street fighter etc are we supposed to map the 8 way joystick other than the cardinal directions?
When mapping it makes no difference for 4-way or 8way. Refer to the following video

How do you handle the player ordering for your 4 usb encoders? Do they ever get out of order on reboots?
@@LarryEspenshade the raspberry pi ports are player specific so the USB slot you plug into will remain that player unless changed in the settings

@@LarryEspenshade you can always change around your player configuration in retroarch if you're having this issue.
what you doing with the original power switch / cables?

What is the benefit of ordering a mini PC vs the Raspbery Pi? I noticed quite a price difference.
Raspberry Pi is quite laggy.

My NBA Jam is modded with a actual PC
How do you power on and off
@@cmoney2 switch in the back
ah ic. What buttons are configured as a and b. We have guests that are using so I am trying to lock the user interface.

is the volume loud enough? I had an issue before where I could barely hear anything
@@cmoney2 yes, using the factory speakers. If it’s loud enough before the mod it should be just as after the mod.
I slowed down the video speed and it sounds normal minus your hobbit voice
