I hear lot of shit is sold out so good luck man
Can you please forward me the link for the wire I need?

The ball tops are 🔥
The buttons are 30mm right? Great video bro, thanks a lot!
For anyone who is still looking to mod their arcade stick/1Up, it really is easy. But yes, do pay attention to the spring section of this video.
That being said, it is sooooo satisfying once you mod a stick and make it your own. I definitely recommend everyone to give it a shot. I started just doing the buttons and even that was fun and a big improvement.
I modded my original 1up street fighter cabinet and installed a raspberry pi 3. Also i completly swapped out the original sticks and buttons for a chinese brand that lights up. Lastly i had to put an a 6lb spring on the stick because i feel like its more solid. All this and i had no experience. I really isnt that hard to do. After seeing this i want sanwa.
I already swapped out my buttons for Happ and need to put Sanwa sticks in, thanks bro! This video is perfect this is my 1st mod too!
awesome im thinking of changing my P2 side to Happ just for the fuck of it. ive never tried happ buttons of sticks but i know alot of the players online use Happ. Link in the description to the discord with over 100 other people who own the online Cabs.
🔥🔥🔥 After watching this you gave me confidence to get my MVC cab buttons/stick/gates upgraded cause I don’t know shit either about this but you made it look simple.
Hell yeah thats dope trust its not hard. The only thing thats difficult is finding the right cable. Just follow the link in my description for the joystick. They give you the joystick with the cable you just have to choose the one I wrote down right above the link. Alot of people are ordering buttons and sticks so alot of wait time for out of stock items. Besides that the actual installation is easy
really appreciate the guidance you provide. Real ass shit and extremely helpful. Thanks dude.
Glad it was helpful
I have a sanwa 8way restricter Gate and I thought about drilling holes into it to make it fit into my hori Hayabusa stick
Idk I wouldn’t do it save yourself the trouble and just buy the less than $10 gate for the hori and know it’s not gonna be an issue
Thanks for the video it helped me get the job done. Also if you remove the pcb before you screw it in you are able to get 4 screw on the mounting plate vs the 3 you used in your vid.
Well you should have let me know before I threw away the screw 🥲
Attenttion
The cover tray is stubborn to remove
The wires to the buttons are easy
But my screws on the sticks could not be removed
And i tried alot of methods.
So i ended up just replacing the gates and boards in my sticks,
And its fine!
I just replaced mine and your video is great, when I plugged it in it only goes side to side and ideas on how to fix it
Yeah that happened to me and I had to keep taking it apart before I got it right. Glad it helped man
I Did the Sanwa stick upgrade for my A1Up Pac Plus cab from diy retro arcade. Did it make me a better player? You better believe it! LOL My score near doubled. So much better to play with. Night and day difference from the stock clone stick. I was getting like a death each game with the stock because it just couldn't handle the quick moves 👎.
I combined a dedicated 4way gate and a 4lb spring to the Sanwa. Smooth as butter 👍
🤣🤣 hey glad it worked out for you man. There are improvements for sure but im not that skilled, so i was still losing 😔 the more i play the more it comes backs to me 😅 Yeah Pac man would definitely see huge improvement when the tight turns are need 🤘🏼
Man I upgraded my fight stick to a sanwa stick and octagonal gate and I’ll never go back to anything else it’s night and day 😎🤙🏾
Hell Yeah dude!
@@coldspacemusic 😎🔥🔥🔥
That’s it!! I’m buying all that shit!! Loved the video and the tunes
Thanks man Appreciate it. Your gonna love the Cab and customizing your stick and buttons. There are still plenty of people playing online as well.
Awesome video and super helpful, thank you! Subscribed!
Thanks man im glad this helped. I Appreciate the sub. 👌🏽
PRO TIP: ALL 4 SCREWS CAN GO IN! very simply just remove the gate and the pcb off the Sanwa joystick and the forth hole will reveal itself.
I wish someone told me before I threw the screw away 😄
Hahaha love the intro ain't better but it feels right
Dam right it does 🤝🏽
Good vid, you probably said this in the vid, my bad but i need to get the sanwa wire harness FOR the sanwa joystick i purchase?
It’s in the video description linked so it’s way to find
Yo. I've been watching this video over and over again, just to hear your custom beats in the background. 🤦🏾♂️🤣 do you have a RUclips video or even a RUclips Playlist set up? I'd definitely like to rock these tracks outside of this video
Hell yeah I appreciate you G! I don't have them on RUclips but I have all tracks on Spotify, Apple Music, and most streaming Platforms.
Type in ColdSpaceMusic and I should pop up, Same photo as here.
Ok brother. I need your help. Just pre-ordered marvel vs capcom 2. I want to get nicer light up buttons and better controls and boost the audio with better bass and volume. What do I buy and where? And I want screw covers too Thanks
Leds are a real pain to set up and I personally don't like the way they feel. You can buy different buttons on the same site below but I suggest getting the full kit then the buttons after. It's a pain but buying all the stuff to connect the LEDs separate and putting it together is a chore. They sp have kits on Amazon but there are basically the same price.
Here's a link to a complete set.
www.diyretroarcade.com/products/led-control-deck-upgrade-kit-compatible-with-street-fighter-arcade1up
Now for the Speaker upgrade your gonna have to search RUclips. I never got around to doing it so I don't really have a solid direction to throw your way. They standard set up is pretty loud and once you have yours setup it on you to swap them out. Just like the LEDs it does require extra setup and there's no real plug and play kits out there. Hope this helps! Lucky you for getting the MVC2 cab I slept on the pre-order. Hopefully more become available later on.
Nice vid, bro. Exactly what I was looking for
Thanks man, Glad it helped you out
Hey man. This really help me a lot. Chapters helped. And clear enough to follow. Best one of these vids in tube
Thanks dude 🤘🏼
Hello, I am getting the Class of '81 Deluxe cabinet, and I'd like to swap out the joystick during the assembly. Do you know if your instructions will be different for the newer deluxe cabinet? Apparently, the control panel and the monitor are 1 unit, so I'm concerned that the install might be different. Also, do you recommend swapping out the buttons too, or just the joystick? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I’m honestly not sure what the deluxe 81 cabinet is. But I’d say try it out stock and then see if you want to swap parts. If your just a casual gamer it should be fine. Stock parts aren’t super bad but i do prefer the Sanwa buttons and sticks. People still play online but it has died down from when they first released.
@@coldspacemusic Ok. Thanks.
@@thepuzzledmagician you can always just do it because it looks nice and you get to customize it to your preference, which is really the reason most of us do it. Let me know if you do it! I’m pretty sure it instructions should be the same
Love your video bro ,thanks for the info on how to upgrade.It helped me out....but yes I still cuss as hell when I don't get my inputs in and of course I blame the controller.
We all do that 😂 Glad I could help my dude! See you on the battlefield ✌🏽
is fit the sanwa ball on the original arcade1up joystick?
Yes a Sanwa ball top will fit this no problem
Just watched this and I’m going to try and do the Sanwa stick. Already did the buttons. Hope it goes smooth
I think the buttons are more difficult just cuz the amount of wires. You got this dude! Just make sure to get the proper wire and your good.
Just did the sticks and, wow, what a difference! Thanks so much for making this video!
Hell yeah dude! See you on the battlefield ✌🏽
Awesome, thanks my dude
HI, your Sanwa stick has the 5 pin socket on the short side of the plate (upper side)...but usually it is on the longer side...how did you modify ? did you rewires cables ? thank you
No I bought the proper harness to made it work. Check the links in the description for the cable.
@@coldspacemusic i am confusing about 5 pin...on 3' 42" you have 5 pin on the short side of the plate...usually sanwa has 5 pin connection on the longer side...
@@imbujo idk man I'm not to sure what where talking a out right now. Sorry man
that stick looks a bit short, does it bother or should I buy a taller one?
It doesn’t bother me at all. I’ve thought about buying an extension for it at first but it really doesn’t need one. It might be personal preference but if you buy a tall one and you don’t like it your stuck with the tall one.
What monster uses 8-Gate for fighting games?
😅 uhh I do! I know there's a bunch of set ups out there but I honestly love the 8 way gate.
Helpful, and yeah music is dope.
Thanks man glad I could help. 🤘🏼 And all music available on Spotify if your interested 😁 ColdSpaceMusic
Hey I have not been able to remove the plate from the sanwa joystick. all screw drivers have not worked. What size did you use?
That’s really weird, I just used a normal Philips head screw driver. You don’t have to remove the plate but it just makes it easier to line up the stick
@@coldspacemusic The arcade1up original plate is compatible with the sanwa. New games aren't though. I'm going to get someone to help me tomorrow. Hey I'm thinking about putting an IL stick into my NBA Jam cab. Only wiring harness is the ones for the KI pro cab. Know where I can get them?
@@teddyy80 maybe your right I didn’t switch the plates on my MVC2 cab I just installed the Sanwa. Try DIYarcade.com email them if you have questions they are really helpful
Great video man. I'm going to do this today
Thanks dude, Good luck👍🏽
My metal plate does not line up with the old one. Did I buy the wrong joystick? Do I just drill new holes? I don’t want to mess it up if it’s not going to work.
You need to remove the metal plate that comes with the stock stick and replace the one that comes Sanwa. If you don't want to do that you can just drill new holes. Don't sweat it you got this 🤘🏼
Good video sir. Did you change the buttons to sanwa as well? If so we’re they difficult to install?
Yes I swapped out the buttons for Sanwas. Easily the best move you can make.
Here's the video
ruclips.net/video/f32O582tHUQ/видео.html
No LEDs?
The LEDs look cool but they feel cheap compared to the Sanwa. There's also an extra couple steps to light them up and turn them on or off that I personally didn't think are worth it.
Here's a link to a great kit you can buy
www.diyretroarcade.com/products/led-control-deck-upgrade-kit-compatible-with-street-fighter-arcade1up
Use needle nose pliers to put the C clip on.
You didn't replace a 4 way gate with an 8 way gate, you replace a square professional Japanese fighting gate with a octogonal gate used for SHMUPs.
The square gate has equal throw on all directions the octogonal gate has uneven throw. The reason you prefer it is because your used to european style sticks used in USA which use an actuator instead of a gate, and your used to riding the groove. But Japanese fighting games in Japan come with a square gate by default and Japan pretty much dominates tournaments. PS i also don't like the feel of the square gate(or rather lack of feel) but my dragon punched etc are easier to do and no random jumping
O Snap! I had no idea! Yeah I love riding the groove it just feels good. Thanks for dropping this knowledge on me 🤝🏽
"you didnt replace it with an 8 way gate, you replaced it with an 8 way gate" ok dude LMAO
@@Jackapher uh the point is they both are 8 way gates, he didn't replace a 4 way gate with an 8 way gate. He replaced an 8 way with another 8 wat
@@evolutionated1125 uh the point was to point out how pedantic you're being and weirdly elitist wat
No excuses now. it's not the buttons .. it's the player. I still suck!
Exactly 😂
Would you ever consider trading the ability of playing online for an emulator? I'm looking for this exact cabinet, and I'm really thinking of getting the emulator and modding it
No way. The online is what keeps me coming back. Don't get me wrong it would be cool having every game on one cab but playing by yourself gets old Real Quick! Sure the games are limited but playing a person can't be topped by an emulator.
What it’s a 8 way restricted way thing I just want to replace my mvc joystick because it came bad it doesn’t go left or tight
It's mostly used for fighting games the Stock gate goes 4 ways up, down, left, right.... and 8 way gate also have diagonal inputs added like down left, down right, ect .. it just makes inputs more accurate but it is also just a preference. If your playing pac man its not really needed.
@@coldspacemusic well I want to replace the marvel vs capcom joystic , if I buy this sanwa joystiv does it come like that or I need an extra prt
Sorry for the late reply I just saw this. You have to buy the 8way gate separately it's pretty cheap tho. I honestly prefer the feel.
Awesome tutorial. No nonsense straight to the point!
Is swapping out the metal piece required? Im doing this with a sanwa stick on the smaller digdug countercade and thought I didn't need to do that.
You don't have to swap it out but you will just be making new holes, which isn't a big deal but I just didn't want to that. At the end of the day it's your cab man 🙂
I switched to a high tension spring and in 5 minute my hand hurt like hell . Had to switch back to low tension . The high tension is only good for pac-man or Frogger
Wow really? I've only heard good things about higher tension springs. I still haven't changed my 4 lb spring. I'm used to it now and even tho I'd like to try to got to 6lb or 9lb I'm too lazy for all that at this point 😀
dude, i like the music on 7:00, how it calls?
linktr.ee/ColdSpaceMusic
Song is called Rainy Days - ColdSpaceMusic
Bro I can’t get the metal plate off. I took off all the screws, the octagonal gate, took apart the joystick like I was replacing the spring and it’s still stuck
Dam wtf maybe it's glued on there? I have the first gen so it might have changed. Just use the new plate your just gonna make new holes but the screws are so small its not gonna make a huge difference. Don't trip on the small stuff ma man just work with what you got and enjoy the cab!
How did the modified stock stick compare to the modified sanwa?
Modified stock stick was pretty shit and alot of extra work. If you gonna mod it go with the sanwa it's easier and better overall.
My sanwa stick has a 5 thread wire any advice? Looks like yours was 4?
Don't worry about it, they are different. Just use the link in the description to buy the proper wire harness to install the sanwa.
Good job homie.
Thanks man I appreciate it 🤝🏽
On a scale from 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest, would you rate the improvement that sanwa give over the factory arcade1up sticks?
I would Give it a 10 out of 10. The inputs are smoother and more comfortable, the slight advantage of having the inputs a couple milliseconds faster, and being able to replace the restrictor gate makes its 100% worth the time and effort to upgrade. Also being able to customize it to your liking is also a plus.
what does the 8 way gate do for you
It's makes it easier to do shoruken movements. The stock 4way gate makes it a little harder. It can still be done but I feel like the 8 way is more accurate. There is also a circle gate but I prefer the notches on the 8 way gate.
Did you re upload this video cuz I swear I already watched this like a month or two ago
No I used some of the same clips to open and close the cab but this one is changing out the Joystick and the last video was for the buttons
My sanwa cable came without the other end.
Did you order it from the link I put? If you did email them and im sure they will send you the right cable. If not use the link in the description to buy the right cable that lets you connect the sanwa to the 1up arcade.
Very nice
Thanks man I appreciate it
The sticks they put in the new cabinets are sanwa clones and are still below par. Theres nothing better than IL eurostick and buttons.
Yeah they stink. I haven't tried the euros but I'm just so used to Sanwa because of my fightstick. I've been real curious of the Korean setup I hear good things.
i dont understand why people are drilling
you can use screw in seimitsu buttons with no power tools required 😅
I love Sanwa buttons I think the Seimitsu buttons are ugly haha I'd rather drill it
Great video. Just some constructive criticism, you may want to watch all the cussing. I’m not some puritan either. I just think you may have kids watching and I think it’s easier to get subscribers when you’re professional.
Even tho I doubt kids will be watching this, I think you have a valid point. I am just doing this for fun but your right it is more professional. Thanks for the honest feedback I really appreciate it. 🤝🏽
@@coldspacemusic You’re welcome, other than that I appreciate the videos. I’ve always used Happ buttons and was never really sure how to put Sanwa buttons in. So thank you. I plan on trying it now on my next project. I know that was in your other video but thanks.
I thought the cussing was funny 🤷🏼♂️
Iv heard 7 year ols kids cuss and swear alot more than this guy has 😂
@@johnhawthorne4716 and that’s the problem with today’s society isn’t it?
How much punishment can these things take because I am a masher.
They can take a pretty good beating the only thing that really gets messed up is the plastic cover but the graphics on the cab haven't fadded at all. The buttons cab take a beating as well, even if you keep the stock buttons
"Try your best not to cut any wires... cuz you are really fooked." :D ruclips.net/video/i4wVrBlSGmw/видео.html
😂
Too much work. I’ll just pay to get all this done.👍🏽
It's seems like alot but its super easy. But if you want to pay someone to do it that's cool I guess. I was super confused before I started so I get it.
Gross lollipop top. Bat > lollipop
😂 You work the shaft, I got the balls let's do this 🤘🏼 idk it's more comfortable to me. After I got my fight stick I don't like the bat tops anymore 🤷🏽♂️ I got used to the Japanese set up. I wish I could stagger the buttons on the cab but thats alot of extra work time and money
Had to stop watching because of your terrible language. No reason for it, and some people have young children around.
Sorry dude, im just a normal person making a Review 🤷🏽♂️
@@coldspacemusic Don't sweat it brother... I didn't even notice you were swearing until I read the comments about it. I was way too excited about the prospect of upgrading my stick. Thanks for the video, the links, & the detailed responses for the questions in the comments... between the video & the info in the comments I now have all the info I need to upgrade & I am as excited for the upgrade as I was for the cabinet! Thanks!
@@shankwashere thanks man glad I could help dude 🤘🏼
Your children curse. Sorry. They learned it from you. ☺️
@@MobileDecay Nope, from RUclips!
Interesting that you say other videos are boring because you've accomplished just that with your worthless anecdote. I'm going to disengage and go watch the other videos now.
I’m glad my words have swayed such a weak minded dork 😂🫡
