  • One of the greatest arcade games ever is WWF Wrestlefest, and while Arcade1Up has done a great job with getting games, we probably will never see Wrestlefest due to licensing issues. So I decided to turn my Final Fight cab into a modded Arcade1Up WWF Wrestlefest with Retropie (not that WWE Wrestlefest from 2012!) How did it turn out? Let's find out!

    I remember playing this the entire summer it released. My grandparents had a caravan on the east coast of England and the arcades there was massive. I was in the arcade the day this arrived and it blew my mind. I'd never seen anything so beautiful. I played it every day of that school summer holidays.
    Awesome memories.

    Man we're like the opposite. Final Fight was the last arcade game I ever got to play at Pizza Hut before they stopped putting cabinets in there (also used to play it on MAME and it ran so poorly) But I never got to play Wrestlefest in an arcade. A local Pocket Change had it but it never worked.
    I gotta agree with you on having way too many games in a multi cab, or a collection of roms. I never know what to play.
    When I make my own cabinet I'm definitely limiting the amount of games I have in it.
    Good video dude. That cabinet turned out great. They killed it with the artwork. It's so beautiful

    Dude that is sooo freakin' sweet! I've thought about mods but I would definitely pick one that I know for sure that Arcade1up won't (or can't) do. WWF Wrestlefest is definitely one they won't be able to do so good choice and the cabinet looks fucking sick! I also agree with you about putting excess games on a cabinet and it being overkill, not interested in having one cabinet with 8000 games. I grew up in the arcade so I want those multiple machines for nostalgia sake.
    I would love a SMASH TV cabinet, which I'm hopeful they'll do.

    I bought a 6 button custom deck for my pretty useless astroids cab. It was relatively inexpensive, I think $65. It came with a baby blue T molding and a nice thick textured astroids graphic already installed. So that's an option anyone stuck with a weird button layout or two buttons. Also the raspberry pi 4 is a beast of an emulation machine, so go with that over the 3!

  • @StLounatic

    RGT, I modded my SF2, and the coin buttons, I ended up drilling the holes on the J panel in the front (under the control deck). That way, I didn't have to drill into the control panel itself, and if I ever sold mine (though I don't know why I would), replacing that panel and putting it back to stock is easy. Just buy a drill bit from harbor freight, measure 11" from the left and right sides, mark it, drill it out, and you're done. It'll take you 10 min tops. Awesome cab btw, this was the first game I booted when I modded mine as well. It's so damn nostalgic!

      If you don't feel comfortable drilling in the j panel they make a pre drilled j panel for $10 that also comes with spots for mounting speakers also. I forgot what website I got mine on. But then I added buttons that look like the old coin buttons on arcades.

    Use a spray bottle full of water and a small amount of dish soap or even Windex to lightly mist those panels before you lay those decals. I prefer Windex but it dries a lot faster so you have to work faster. After you mist the panel use a credit card wrapped with a microfiber cloth to slowly squeegee the decal on. If you get a bubble poke a hole in the center of it with a needle and then use the credit card to squeegee it flat. It will look like it came from the factory when your done. The dry method can be unforgiving if your not careful.

    I’d keep all the TMNT games on there and load up on other 4 player classics like X-Men, The Simpsons, lots of beat ‘emthe ups, and some of the Gauntlet games for good measure.
