Nice job installing all your mods. I had a question not really about these mods entirely. I noticed at one portion of this video I had seen that you opened up the coin door and I could see that you had some type of power system going on with a power strip and maybe some other components. I was really trying to look and see how you rigged everything unfortunately I wasn't able to see much. I was just curious about what did you used and how you were able to power everything within the inside of the cabinet. I couldn't really see that you had a bunch of random wires coming out the back so I really was just assuming you configured your own power system. If I could get some feed back that would be great. Thanks!
@R3LAPS3productions so I have seen many people splicing a 110V outlet into the back of their cab. I was not excited about doing that, so I simply drilled a hole large enough to pass the plug end of a power strip through (used the original power cord hole as the starting point. Inside of each of my cabs is a standard power strip and the only cord coming out the back panel is that power strip plug to the wall. Everything within the cab plugs into that power strip that is sitting inside (cab power supply, coin door lights, back panel and floating riser LEDs, etc). I then put a smart plug on the end of that power strip going to the wall. That way when I enable that smart plug, the whole cab turns on and off collectively (cab, lights, coin door lights, etc). Not only does it keep the setup clean, but also ensure the cab has surge protection and if I ever need to get to any of the connections, I simply open the coin door and it is right there. Let me know if this clears it up or you need more context. Happy to share. Cheers!

@@R3LAPS3productions Long answer...I don't know that there is one in particular I would recommend. I have roughly two dozen smart outlets that I used throughout my house and arcade. I bought any switches that used the Smart Life app (once I started with that app...I made sure any additional plugs used that app also), but the ones I bought aren't even available any more. You definitely don't want to buy multiple that run on different apps. The reason I cannot directly recommend hardware using that Smart Life app is because it looks to not be so popular now and it seems harder to find hardware that is using that app. You have to decide if you are just getting a one-off plug or plan to add more over time. If a one-off, then I think any of the smart outlets on Amazon with good reviews would be fine. If you intend to buy several and more in the future, then look for ones that use the same app most frequently. That is the downside to the smart plugs. Not only do you need an app...but they require internet to work properly. If your internet goes out, they will not work (even though your WIFI still has them all connected). I have seen ways to crack them so that you can disconnect from their required network comms...but I have not gone down that path. With all that said, below is an example of one to look at. Govee also makes LED strips...so you got a better chance of continuing to find products supporting their app. Ensure you get one that is rated for 15A and try to get the rectangle ones. The round plugs in many cases will not go into sockets next to each other as the body of the plug is too large. The rectangle ones allow you to put them into sockets next to each other on the wall or on a power strip.

@@9scorpions thank you for taking the time to go through all the process. It's a bit to take in and I'm sure to type out as well so thank you again! You did a great job explaining everything and appreciate your time not only for the detailed reply but also the efforts making the video too. I will do my best to follow what you have instructed. I wish A1U would make things easier for us customers at times. I think the only other option I would have is to buy an actual arcade power supply box and wire everything to that power supply. At least that way I would actually feel safe going that route. However, your method seems much easier tho.
So glad I found this video! Saved and subbed! Quick question, for the 1/8” front panel you bought from Lowe’s, did it already come with the black surface or did you have to buy something else to get the black finish? Thanks so much!!

Cool mod! Question for the turtles cabinet if you disable the top player buttons will you still be able to advance a level by holding down Raphael’s button for 5 seconds of restart a level by holding down Donatello’s?
Thanks for the comment and question! To my knowledge, you would lose that function. The only way to retain them is to keep them wired in parallel to the coin door...which is not a problem. But for me, I am wanting to disable players to use the machine without a quarter. So I guess it comes down to personal preference on which is more important. The additional features of the player button or making the cab a quarter required cab.
hey there! If you are asking could it be done, for sure it can. If you are asking if I do these mods as a service...I do not. One of the community vendors such as Tulsa Arcades (www.tulsaarcades.com/#/) is likely your best bet if you want to have it done to one of your arcades.
Quick question..so I should be able to disable the player 1 and 2 buttons from adding a credit if I wire it like you did with your NBA jam? And when I wanna go back to menu I would have to press both player 1 and 2 to do so
hey, thanks for the question! Short answer is yes, but there is a catch. The primary difference to how they made Final Fight vs NBA jam is that on Final Fight, you need to push the P1 button to enter a game from the main menu. On NBA game, you can use the action buttons to enter a game (do not need to push P1). So after you boot NBA Jam, you can enter one of the three games with any action button (even with my mod). On FF, if you wire P1 and P2 together to replicate my NBA Jam mod, it should work but you would also need to press both P1 and P2 buttons to enter one of the games from the main menu. I would imagine that is not that big of a deal. Let me know how it works out. Cheers!

Why does no arcade or game room feel complete without the Super Pac Man attract mode sound lol. SPM isn't a phenomenal game, I bet most don't play it, but everyone knows that sound means it's a real arcade?
LOL. 100% spot on. I would prefer to leave it on original Pacman...but that one doesn't have any attract sounds. And you are also right...SPM hardly gets played...lol.
Very nice, my man. So maybe I missed it but - doing this mod, does it negate the ability to press 1P or 2P to play? In other words, are you able to bypass the coin option? Thanks +++
Thanks Jim! It depends on how you wire it. You can complete disable the buttons, but you need to get creative for a hidden button (like in the coin door) as you need the P1 button to enter each of the games. That is only true on the 2 player cabs. That is not the case on 4 player cabs.
@@9scorpions yes im trying forced coin operation on the simpsons cab with stock hardware; wasnt sure if players could 1)tap into the settings & change configs 2) still choose between the 2games before adding a credit 3) if turning it on/off will bypass anything allowing players to tap into settings/get free credits If any of these 3 things were an issue wasnt sure if wiring a secret button/switch would help; thanks!
Hi Shadow. These coin doors have single red LEDs running off of 12V (one per coin slot). They come with a power supply in the kit. The power supply is overkill for those two LEDs...so one option is to patch the door into the 12V of the cab PSU via a splitter.
Hold the phone. I misspoke. I went back and checked and the power supply is 5V...not 12V. So patching to the cab PSU will not work. Now I know why I didnt do that...lol. apologies for that incorrect info.
Sorry, I had one more question. The wiring on the coin door switch.....is it polarity sensitive or does it not matter which wire is on the outside, and inside of the switch?
