Arcade1Up Pac-Man HDMI Console: bit.ly/33VKT2O What do you think about the ability to add your own games to this? Is it something Arcade1Up should continue with on future products?
About time we can add games. On another note wanted to let you know. Target in my area dropped Arcade 1Up countercade (PAC-man & Galaga ) to $59.99. It’s not showing it on Brickseek yet.
@@cooltoy - thought that might be the case - but still gives the option of adding a new gamelist to your 3/4 scale cab ( 10 arcade games would refresh the game list on some of the gen1 cabs ! ) Oh one other question - Does it output only 16:9 signal or if playing on a 4:3 monitor does it correctly output full screen ?
Wait hold up ... so Arcade1up secretly hides emulators inside their licensed product? This is so strange. Why didn't they do this with their cabinets lol. It would saved me the trouble modding haha
I wonder if this is something you can't avoid when you add SD card support using Android, the Super Retro-cade has the same "feature" and it feels as if it was unintentional. Maybe is a leftover from a testing phase.
Probably for someone who has no idea or desire to mess up with mini consoles or raspberry pi this is great option but yet 40$ is too much 15-20 $ would be better
What emulator are they using that allows you to emulate multiple console systems? I heard you can also play Turbografx-16/PC-Engine games on this device!
So I'm a new subscriber and first and foremost are you Forrest Griffin from UFC? And secondly this device already has the emulators for each console? Because I noticed you didn't upload an emulator.
Lol I get told I look like John Cena and Michael C. Hall a lot. I’ve heard Forrest Griffin a few times which I’m cool with because I’m a jiu jitsu black belt myself. But yes the emulators are already preloaded on the device, no need to add them
It's too broad of a question for me to be able to answer about USB fight sticks. Some I'm sure would work, while others wouldn't, way too many fight sticks out there to test them all or answer definitively across the board. You can not add arcade games
Before I returned mine I had atari2600, NES, SNES, sega genesis, Sega gamegear, and Gameboy advance is supposed to work sega cd barely works you will need the 3 bios files to use it I also tried turbografx 16, sega master system, and original Gameboy those 3 didn't work
That depends. If it has good performance, maybe. But as I've seen from COOLTOY's comments and the video itself, it is very limited on what it could do. The Super Retro-cade is a better alternative. I guess this is good if you really want to play 2600 and 7800 games and find it cheap. I'd stick with the Super Retro-cade, it already has nearly 100 games installed and the compatibility is high; I've managed to boot up laserdisc games that are supported in MAME (unplayable because of the speed but they do boot up).
I only found out about these from a previous video CoolToy uploaded a while back. I went to the site and low and behold these (and the giant joysticks) were on the site.
When these go on clearance for $10 or $20 this would be great alternative to a raspberry pi whether on a tv or an Arcade 1Up cabinet! Any idea if this will work with a USB encoder??
Such an odd decision for them to allow you to add your own games... I'm not complaining, but it's like they're testing the legal waters with this product. I could understand using MAME since all of the included games must be using some sort of MAME emulation, but to include emulation functionality for systems that DON'T already have pre-installed games included with the product seems kind of sketchy. The only reason they would include a SNES emulator (for example) is to encourage you to add roms. If I was Nintendo, I'd be watching A1Up pretty closely... this is more of an AtGames move that I never expected from Arcade1Up.
First thing i thought was if someone wanted to mod their arcade 1up cab but had no experience with a pi or pc this could be used to add more games. I wonder how it would react to plugging in a encoder. Worst case you could plug one of those usb extenders in and connect your joystick out the front panel of the 1up and plug your controller in to there.?? Its like a beginner pi with retro pi. Anyway for my pi 4 in my star wars cab and going to add a wii in there also for gun games.
I was wondering about a different wired controller and if this would be a good base for a really simple build like that. SD card adds to that being a useful option.
Great video, I agree could have improved the button layout/design but still looks like a nice pickup for those that don't want to tinker too much but have some expandability options. Great job Dude!
yea I think this is a neat little "intro to modding" device that can help a lot of newcomers learn to dip their toes into the world of customization and gaming modifications.
I think this, including the crappy controller, is good for arcade1up fans and just your normal Joe walking by seeing it in the store. I have a billion different ways of playing these games but I still would want to pick this up. 40 bucks is very reasonable. Nice video Cooltoy
The average joe would certainly be the best fit for this. They aren’t liable to care as much about the controller. And the game line up plus expansion capabilities gives it a much better value over other tv plug and and play devices out in the market
You hit it out the park again. excellent video. A bit surprise that these are the arcade roms and not the console. I think It makes it worth it with the ability to add more games pretty cool.
So strange they are not even on their website?? So cool you can you own controllers and add roms. I have a retrobit and for Sega Genesis it also uses the bumper for button C...using the same emulators?? I hope you can test more controllers or those zerodelay usb things etc etc. I hope I can use my PS3 arcade sticks. Unfortunately at this moment I only see it listed for USA.. This one has all my favorites with Mappy and Galaga and Galaga88 ..I'm only missing Gyruss but that is Konami. Need to have this as a super NAMCO fan.
I know this may be a dumb question, but how do you back up your roms ? And is there a way to back up disc base games , I have some ps4 games that are out of print and want to back up Incase something happens to them , if you know of a website I can go to , to lean how to do it , please let me know. And thank you for all the amazing videos. I’m a huge fan .
Do you know if there is a way to switch out the game card on one Arcade1up cab like the Marvel cab from 2019 and connect a game card from 2020 like the newer MarvelvCapcom cab? I don’t have space for another cabinet but would love to play those similar games. This might be a good topic for a future vid 👍 Stay Cool!
INteresting -- FIgure it makes a good method for updating one of the A1U 3/4 cabs - IF it works with aaaaa USB encoder it should be easy to wire up to the A1U cab using a ZD contoller board and the same LCD driver board to add aathe HDMI input and add these extra games (and ability to side load others to your 3/4 scale cab ( bet this is going to piss off some of the game license holders but is good for the users as their old cabs can now have official games added to their older cabs !!
FYI got mine today (thanks to this video). It also runs Atari 7800 - copied some ROMS that I own the original carts for and the games run GREAT. Thanks so much for the tips (Also bought the A1U PacMan Partycade from QVC thanks to your heads-up)
Wonder how many emulators in total are on this device. I seen someone did it with the hdmi pnp sticks too, but the flash/eeprom needed to be dumped to do any adding/subtracting of games as there is no sd card slot. NES emulator was included on the atari 2600 unit, although buggy. Really cool find, GREAT video man! Truly nice work 👍
Picked this up at office max and love it! Play it wirelessly on my 1080p tv. The picture only goes up to 720p for the games but they look great! Much better than the Pac man partycade I bought off of HSN. And Pac man and Galaga seem to player faster than on the partycade. Another plus is Galaga 88 which arcade 1 up hadn't released. Great buy IMO!
@@cooltoy That would be cool if you can because there are alot of old school games with two to three button functions and seeing the arcade of double dragon or final fight would be awesome. :)
@@jacobprayer8656 Piracy you say? That's a damn joke right there and don't try to fool me with that foolishness talk and do you know what kind of world we are living in so mind your business man.
@@jacobprayer8656 Piracy is when you profit or allow someone to profit from stolen properties, which is illegal. Copying, sharing, and store software for evaluation (test a game that you haven't bought/played) or educational (teaching someone younger about history of videogames by displaying o a TV and playing them) purposes only is OK. Is morally wrong but is still legal.
*Arcade1UP* So, are those TV emulator systems ready for launch? *Engineer* Yes, they’re all set to go! *Arcade1up* Did you make sure you couldn’t play other console games on the device? *Engineer*
Would this kind of box be a good substitute for a raspberry pi, since you can add games for a modded 3/4 scale arcade 1up arcade cabinet? Would the controller work well?
Great informative video!!! Question: My original controller D-pad no longer works with an expired warranty. (Amazon has numerous mentions of D-pad controller failure on new units sold) After contacting Arcade 1up there was no help on this matter. Any recommendations for a "wireless" replacement? Thanks 🙂
It's obviously developed by a third party and A1UP is jut slapping their name on it. Side loading is against their motto. U didn't mention how modern of game can it play?
Probably wouldn't be able to play all the same games that a pi 4 can play, especially Dreamcast. And if you built or bought a 3 or 4 player cab, this wouldn't work very well.
Super late to the party on this as I'm just getting around to creating a SD card for it. I can't seem to find any info online that gives a complete list of what ROMS this will play. Only thing I saw was another Atari console. Any other info available on this ? Sega Master System, Turbo GRAFX ?
My mom said she doesn't care if I get a laptop and the games on the SD card I'm going to have SNES games, Atari 2600 games, Gba games, NES games, Sega Genesis games.
I picked up the mega man one for $20 at the local Sams club store an few years ago, since I had and 2nd unused DualStock 4 lion around I used it for this and it was nice.
Thx for showing this. No one else has made a video on this yet as far as I know. I am glad you can use other usb controllers. I wonder if you can play arcade ROM too and neo geo or cps 1 or 2. If so then it is a great value for $40 in my opinion. Easy too add games. No hacking or other bs.
@@cooltoy makes sense because if you could add arcade games then it would cut out arcade1up’s main business model which is selling arcade units. I also wonder if you can use a usb fight stick with this for more of an arcade experience and then it would be like a simple pandora box console. I’m sure it will be hacked to allow mame or fba eventually. Depending on the specs of the board, you may not be able to play anything passed the 90’s era games.
The SD card slot is indeed an important point to have on a system unless you could use the USB slots to add data via memory stick, or transfer line, etc. For 40$ I personally would recommend buying the "The Super Retrocade" as it comes with 90 games installed. for a few dollars more. Likely less than 20$ more tho. I have the Retrocade and added games, but it can be a little frustrating IMO. I own the "Retroid Pocket" yet failed at playing any game on it as I regrettably have no password to any WiFi currently. I enjoy your content and have benefitted from it in the past. Keep up the great work! Peace!
The Super Retro-cade is capable of playing lots of MAME roms (v 0.139u1), NES, Famicom Disk System, most SNES games (some show annoying frameskip but SFX chip games are quite playable), certain SG-1000 and Master System games (especially those with FM sound), PC-Engine and SuperGrafx, GB, GBC and GBA (just make sure all the roms have the .gb extension), Genesis/MD (including SVP, albeit very slow) and... Sega CD. Using MAME, there's a workaround to play Atari 8-bit rom games but I haven't been able to make it run PC-Engine CD games. The console is highly customizable.
I tried sega cd on this it runs very glitchy you need the 3 bios files along with the bin/cue files I have a super retro-cade and modified legend's flashback and both systems play sega cd games perfectly!
So best buttons you've ever used? Jk Nicely done video! I totally forgot that they designed it so you could use your own controllers. That makes the whole thing a lot more interesting and I can see this being a great option for some people.
Hi friend. I have just bought the version of PACMAN and I have tried to install it and I have not been able to do it. I need your help please (I've been doing it one way and another all day but I'm out of luck). Could you tell me what memory you have used and of what capacity, if a special format is needed. I can't even get to see my files, temporarily I can see the folders even if I leave them without files, it just sends me to a blue screen after I tell it to mount the memory. I would greatly appreciate it. CHEERS
If you haven't figured it out yet you need to use a SD card that's less than 16gb for it to read I believe. I used a 32gb at first and had that problem but fixed it when I went to a 4gb.
Do you have to have any specific formatting for The sd card? I get a blank blue screen for some reason. I’m wondering if mines busted tried a few different sd cards
Wow that sucks. LOL. I was gonna pick one up for my sister because she loves Pac-Man and Galaga, but also Ms. Pac, Centipede, and DK. Thanks for replying.
This is confusing at face value. I did not see you load any emulators does this have retroarch or some other type of multiple console emulator already installed? And of so that is strange. This is a cool lil device but there are so many other ways to do this better.
I wonder if the games included that we have not seen before provide any clues about future cabinet releases? This is clearly to target the plug and play market. My experience has been pretty poor given the cheap controllers and the absence of a cabinet. Playing pac-man (or otter arcade-based games) on the television has never appealed to me. Either way, great review CT!!!
Are you saying you can just put the ROMs onto a memory card and plug it in without hacking the console? That's pretty cool actually, I'd be curious to see what other controllers it works with and what other emulators it has in its software.
See, here is something I would absolutely throw money at. I am assuming they wont, but if they did cheap plug-n-play consoles with the games in their cabs that people actually really want, like the TMNT games and the Marvel vs Capcom collection, those would be titles worth owning instead of the 1000th plug-n-play featuring Pac-Man.
Is this a advertised feature or hidden? What emulator on device is installed that runs all these roms? If I slipped a sd card with roms in the Pac-Man 8 in 1 arcade 1up, would it do this??
I think it is odd that included the emulators for other systems. I know others have asked, but have you tried other consoles and they didn't work, or did you just not try them yet? Also, do you think you need a certain version of the arcade roms to go with their version of MAME? or is it locked down, so as to not compete with their cabs?

So you're saying I can add MORE Pac-Man games?? 😳 With so many options we will never get tired of Pac-Man! 🙌🙌😁

Jesus, how many times have they released pacman in different devices in the last 5 years???
It’s the 40th anniversary this year so it’s in overdrive for everyone to pump out Pac-Man merch
They look like cheap 🔥 🗑
So what other roms can it play, have you tried gbc, sms or turbo, what about neo geo or mame?
I get the idea Arcade1up was sick of people modding their arcades with Pis, so maybe these could be a great alternative
This is great news. I think it's perfect for the upstairs TV. I would not have considered this but the SD card slot is a game changer for sure.
That depends. If it has good performance, maybe. But as I've seen from COOLTOY's comments and the video itself, it is very limited on what it could do. The Super Retro-cade is a better alternative.

Agreed! The super retro-cade is way better than this thing also a modified legend's flashback is a close second!
The Super Retro-cade is capable of playing lots of MAME roms (v 0.139u1), NES, Famicom Disk System, most SNES games (some show annoying frameskip but SFX chip games are quite playable), certain SG-1000 and Master System games (especially those with FM sound), PC-Engine and SuperGrafx, GB, GBC and GBA (just make sure all the roms have the .gb extension), Genesis/MD (including SVP, albeit very slow) and... Sega CD.
Using MAME, there's a workaround to play Atari 8-bit rom games but I haven't been able to make it run PC-Engine CD games. The console is highly customizable.
Is there any word on exactly which emulators it will support? I’m trying to find an alternative to run SEGA CD without spending a fortune!
Buy an old pc. Emulation
I tried sega cd on this it runs very glitchy you need the 3 bios files along with the bin/cue files I have a super retro-cade and modified legend's flashback and both systems play sega cd games perfectly!
@@RyGuy0520 What is the method you used to play Sega CD games on the Super Retro-Cade?
when it inevitably falls to $20 it'll be worth it
Buttons are backwards on Mega Man. Unplayable. Trash.
So best buttons you've ever used? Jk Nicely done video! I totally forgot that they designed it so you could use your own controllers. That makes the whole thing a lot more interesting and I can see this being a great option for some people.
these buttons are like playing with the Smarties candies lol
@@cooltoy LOL thats hilarious. Sounds like a win
Very cool that you can add your own games and swap controllers!
Oh my brother 🤦♂️Brutal review. ❤️🏁
Hi friend. I have just bought the version of PACMAN and I have tried to install it and I have not been able to do it. I need your help please (I've been doing it one way and another all day but I'm out of luck). Could you tell me what memory you have used and of what capacity, if a special format is needed. I can't even get to see my files, temporarily I can see the folders even if I leave them without files, it just sends me to a blue screen after I tell it to mount the memory. I would greatly appreciate it. CHEERS
If you haven't figured it out yet you need to use a SD card that's less than 16gb for it to read I believe. I used a 32gb at first and had that problem but fixed it when I went to a 4gb.
Do you have to have any specific formatting for
The sd card? I get a blank blue screen for some reason. I’m wondering if mines busted tried a few different sd cards
Can you add MAME ROMs? If I wanted to add Ms. Pac-Man, Centipede, Donkey Kong, etc., is that possible?
Nope
Wow that sucks. LOL. I was gonna pick one up for my sister because she loves Pac-Man and Galaga, but also Ms. Pac, Centipede, and DK. Thanks for replying.
What about MAME Roms lets say you what Ninja Bassball Batman, The Simsons arcade game, and/or The X-Men arcade game?
Nope
This is confusing at face value. I did not see you load any emulators does this have retroarch or some other type of multiple console emulator already installed? And of so that is strange. This is a cool lil device but there are so many other ways to do this better.
emulators are already on the system preinstalled
Scrolling isn't smooth on the games you try from the SDcard. Is that because of the capture?
I wonder if the games included that we have not seen before provide any clues about future cabinet releases?
This is clearly to target the plug and play market. My experience has been pretty poor given the cheap controllers and the absence of a cabinet. Playing pac-man (or otter arcade-based games) on the television has never appealed to me.
Either way, great review CT!!!
It was nice to see Galaga 88 for the first time here from Arcade1Up
@@cooltoy Rolling thunder, super xevious, new rally x and dragon spirit are new too.

Are you saying you can just put the ROMs onto a memory card and plug it in without hacking the console? That's pretty cool actually, I'd be curious to see what other controllers it works with and what other emulators it has in its software.
Can I save state and load state un this console?
Can I save state and load state in this console?
See, here is something I would absolutely throw money at. I am assuming they wont, but if they did cheap plug-n-play consoles with the games in their cabs that people actually really want, like the TMNT games and the Marvel vs Capcom collection, those would be titles worth owning instead of the 1000th plug-n-play featuring Pac-Man.
Do you know when arcade1ups Micro console TVs and Coleco arcades are coming.
Do you think it is capable of running mame?
Will love to know as well 🤔
Do I think it is capable yes, have I got it to work thus far, no.
Can I add games like that to the super pacman arcade 1 up the mini version has an SD card slot in the back cabinet
Nope
No funciona en mi consola la memoria.
thanks for sharing this.
hopefully people find it helpful.
The video isn't 60fps compatible but, can you tell me how it feels, like is it 60fps for you?
Great deal for the price🤔
Killer Instinct yet???
🤣
Is this a advertised feature or hidden? What emulator on device is installed that runs all these roms?
If I slipped a sd card with roms in the Pac-Man 8 in 1 arcade 1up, would it do this??
dragon spirit and rolling thunder just sold this for me. Hope I can just use a usb game stick
I really relate with your story in getting in Trouble with the SEGA sounds late nights on school days. Then having a hard time waking up for school.
I think it is odd that included the emulators for other systems. I know others have asked, but have you tried other consoles and they didn't work, or did you just not try them yet?
Also, do you think you need a certain version of the arcade roms to go with their version of MAME? or is it locked down, so as to not compete with their cabs?
I like this idea
I want 1
Does gba save data
SF2 turbo on SNES lets you remap the buttons within the game. Can you do it with this device ??
I just found a chinese magic word mini arcade.I think it is a genisis rom on it.
Thanks for the review COOLTOY! I was very interested to see what these were all about, what's the warranty on these? LOL
Please, can I add nice pinball games, like virtual pinball ?
Nope
Hey man i put some roms on my sd card inserted in the slot but console for some odd reason is not recognizing the roms please help me
