Queen! I have to look into the lineup-that sounds awesome.

I do have that set, as well as all three boxed sets. Alas I have two jobs and two kids. Not sure when I could make that video. I’ll shout you out if I do :-)

Ha, yes. But this was 9 years ago. The only thing from that setup I still have is the N8.

Yep. I mentioned this in a comment on this video about 11 years ago. I don’t have this anymore (but I have finally ordered an FX Pak Pro!)

Thanks for watching and commenting! I set it up in November 2019 (I have an Instagram photo of it from the week before Thanksgiving that year.) If I recall correctly, it actually came out in the summer or fall of 2019. You're right about it being a wave 3 cab! What I remember most about those early days with my first cab is that people were coming over and playing it for a couple of months (it was a Christmas 2019 gift, but my wife let me set it up early since we were having out-of-state Thanksgiving guests)... and then March 2020 hit, and people stopped coming over... for a long time! After that, it ended up just being me playing alone most of the time until my son was old enough.

@@nusilver you are correct! E3 2019 confirmed by retro Ralph!

So, one of the reasons I didn't go to PRGE is that I found out on Friday that we're having another one in June! With everything I've learned as a dad, though, I think I'm going to wait until kid number two is at least four to let them start playing games. 🙂

@@nusilver nice Congratulations!

Two of my cabs do have at least a hundred games each on them :-)

@@nusilver oh ok. So you bought the other ones cuz you like owning different arcade cabinets?

@@tonyp9313 yep! That’s right. It’s all about the aesthetic. The sights and sounds of walking into an arcade and having all those cabinets inviting you to play. It’s especially fun when we have guests over.

Lol. Compared to the other whats?

Thanks, man! Love your arcade setup, by the way.

@@nusilver thanks for checking it out 😁 those cabs are addictive lol

Was it the ArcadeGameFactory marquee? If so, I just removed the screws on the side panels and the marquee so I could get the panel off that hides the insides of the marquee (i.e., the panel with the legal info and serial number on it), then I unslotted the led strip from the bracket it sits in, flipped it around so the leds were facing the backside of the cab, and slotted it back into the bracket. The power cable that goes to the PCB will get pulled a little tight while you're doing this, but it'll be fine once you drop it back into the brackets. The only tricky thing about this is that the sides of the marquee (where the black screws go in) is pretty soft, so I had to make a slight adjustment to get one of the screws back in as the original screw hole (again, on the marquee material, not the side panel) got kind of torn up. I've checked it all around, though; everything is level and the marquee is sitting exactly where I want it. So, no big deal. Hope that's helpful! I don't want to open the cab again for exactly the reasons I just wrote about.

@@nusilver Hi Michael, thank you for your feedback and input! Yes, the light up marquee I added to my cabinet is from game factory, and per your recommendation I turned the LED lights around and the marquee is absolutely perfect now! Thank you so much for giving me this idea and responding to my post! Great video and suggestions which I greatly appreciate!

Thanks, Chris!

Thanks, it's not that, though -- it doesn't reset to the menu, it power cycles. I have a new PCB on the way this week, so fingers crossed that fixes it.

Thanks! I've got an entry level fight stick but with Sanwa buttons swapped in coming today.

Yes, that's exactly what I used. If I had a router at the time I put this together, I might have used actual t-molding (I installed real t-molding on the CPO), but now that I have a router, I'm a little afraid to mess it up and the pinstriping tape is fine. As far as the application of it: it can be a little tricky. It's easy enough to apply it in a straight line on flat edges and around corners (if it's not straight enough, you can always lift it back off then re-apply), but once you get to the swoop below the control panel and the one on the front of the riser, it tends to pull up on the edges. Most guides will tell you to take it very slow so you don't stretch the tape while applying, but no matter how little you stretch it, it still seems to peel up around those swoops. What ultimately worked to alleviate that issue was to cut a line straight across the tape around the swoops, then lay the tape back down so that you've got an imperceptible gap between what is now two pieces of tape. Would love to see your build if you're putting a Kong together!

Thanks, man! I've made a couple of tweaks to it since posting this (feels like 15 years ago); swapped the yellow buttons out for orange, and added a coin door decal that looks great (although now that A1UP is starting to put molded coin doors on their cabs, that part's feeling a little less adequate!). If you're considering an ArcadeSD but are taken aback by the price (last time I checked, it was $50 more than when I got it... and it was already expensive then), just know that across the board the emulation is way better than those 60-in-1s you see all over the place. Every game has been great, the interface and customization options are awesome... I love it. I've got six cabs now and while I'm racking up a ton of time on my modded MVSX, this is still my most-played machine. If you do go through with the mod, I hope you'll post a video of the process!

@@nusilver yeah a molded coin door could be cool! And I’ll definitely post it if/when I do it!

Hey Leonard, welcome to the Arcade1UP community! I've got four cabs now and probably won't be adding any more since our game room is the smallest room in our house, but I love going into that room and turning on the machines and hearing that beautiful cacophony of multiple attract modes competing for my attention. I've made just a couple of slight aesthetic tweaks to this cab since I posted this video (a coin-door decal being the main one; you can see it in this photo: twitter.com/snesplay/status/1374398254410960900/photo/1). As far as the process, check out these two threads on Reddit; those will give you a high-level overview of what went into converting my Galaga cab into a Donkey Kong: www.reddit.com/r/Arcade1Up/comments/enlo4o/meet_my_arcade1up_donkey_kong_cabinet/ www.reddit.com/r/Arcade1Up/comments/frxf8c/update_galagadonkey_kong_conversion_complete/ The first thread should be especially helpful in terms of what I used for each part of the exterior. If you see, for example, that I used 1/2" white t-molding, just Google 1/2" white t-molding or search for it on eBay and you'll be able to find some for your project. As I mentioned in that first thread, I started with a 60-in-1 Jamma kit from DIY Retro Arcade (the 60-in-1 is also known as an "iCade"), and my machine was up and running with that kit after just a day or so. Shane from DIY Retro Arcade has a very helpful video tutorial on installing that kit, and you can find that here: ua-cam.com/video/6HIw7MT-ils/v-deo.html I swapped the kit out for the much more expensive ArcadeSD because I wanted as-close-to-perfect-as-possible emulation, and the ArcadeSD is the best out there for the games included on it. Most folks don't need anything more accurate than the 60-in-1 for games like Donkey Kong or Ms. Pac-Man (if you're just playing to play and not going for high scores), although the 60-in-1 does have some issues with a handful of games (a loud whine in Burger Time, for example, and Mario's running sound is wrong in Donkey Kong) and because of that, a lot of people like to build their custom cabs around a Raspberry Pi. I have zero experience with the Pi and can't help you there, but the Arcade1UP subreddit is where I learned everything I needed to turn my cab from a dream to reality. And in general, they're a very friendly group. Hope this is all helpful! If you join the subreddit, you can find me over there as nusilver. Would love to see how your project comes along!

@@nusilver thank you so much yiu are amazing!

"Aquatic Ambiance" from Donkey Kong Country.

@@nusilver i found it on thank you

I did! And the bezel.

thanks! You can also get it on the Ghibli ga Ippai Special Short Short 1992-2016 Blu-ray now, which came out last June. You can find it on Amazon Japan right here! www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B08CS3YYYN/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AN1VRQENFRJN5&psc=1

An ArcadeSD.

@@nusilver any chance you'd post how to mod an a1up cab with an arcadesd pcb?

@@sonicfun016 hi Kevin! It might be a bit tough in the work-from-home-and-raise-a-toddler-full-time world, but I might be able to shoot a quick video this coming weekend to show what's going on in there. I can say that since I started with DIY Retro Arcade's 60-in-1 kit, the video they have up (about an hour long) should get you most of the way there as far as wiring the JAMMA harness, power, and speaker. There were a few key differences from that point to getting my machine up in its current state though, so I suppose those would need to be addressed. Stay tuned! If I'm able to get this done, I'll let you know.

Amazon Japan and several other places ship globally! You can always try eBay, too.

@@nusilver thanks

It's pretty much a wash these days; you can get great transfers in the U.S. via GKIDS, which are basically identical to the Japanese ones. The only exception I can think of off the top of my head is the copy of Nausicaa that comes in the Japanese Miyazaki box set; it's the best version available on Blu-ray, with a unique transfer that fixes some issues on the original release, and it's only available in that set. But yeah, get the GKIDS versions and don't worry about spending stupid money on these, unless you really love the packaging :)

@@nusilverWould it be worth picking up Kiki on import? As the GKIDS has dubtitles?

Did you find out if it supports RGB?

Nice! Yeah, you can see I have Fireflies right up there behind Ocean Waves. That said, my order does change from time to time; I can't remember what it was that it took for Castle in the Sky to finally click with me, but it's definitely not my least favorite anymore!

Michael Burns I haven't seen ocean waves yet I've heard mixed things about it. I also really like howls moving castle I would definitely have it in my top 10. I need to rewatch castle in the sky as I can't remember much about it. My top 4 are set in stone now as I've been rewatching all of my Ghibli movies over the past few weeks. My number 5 could change as I still have a few more to watch over the next week or so.

That's right!

Thank for the help!

they all have English subtitles and many have English dubs, but it's much cheaper to just get them from your own country, and most are out everywhere now. :)
