I’m doing mine the same. I already got the monitor coming and have the controller board on hand. Found a guy on eBay doing frames prefabricated for that exact monitor and arcade1up cabinet. It was $50 shipped but that’s not too bad. Plexiglass looks high quality. I also already got the GRS flight yoke installed and just waiting on the KongsR’us guys for availability on their Starcade Launchbox setup that has all the rest of the later Star Wars arcade games and with the GRS yoke once I get their upgrade kit and an old PC to set it all up it should really be the ultimate Star Wars arcade setup that I always wanted. Also working on it with my kids so it’s become a family affair.
I got a cable with 3.5mm jack on one end and RCA on the other. 3.5mm into the Pi and then RCA into an amp, and then just the cheapest 4" speakers on Amazon.
i originally had the hdmi converter and now got the tulsa kit and dell monitor. so ok u plug in the power cord, then the hdmi to dvi converter, and what about the sound. the input on the far right says speaker power. so there are speakers in the monitor? how does one output sound to an amp or speaker setup? i have a raspberry pi 4
How did you get the sound to work? I really want to do this but don't want to waste time. Did you plug in your sound directly to the pie or to the monitor? Thanks.
Just watched your video and I see you MK2 1up arcade. I believe yiur modle is oolder than mine, currently Ive got the MK2 deluxe addition. I'm curious if I coukd mod a 20 inch monitor into my maxhine? Sonce your machine is a okder gen Im not sure if yours originally had a BOE monitir. Currently I have a 17 inch BOE monitor and Im wondering which monitor could I mod up to a 20 inch monitor for the MK2 deluxe?
Hey just out of curiosity, how is emulation for mk2 and mk3 on your pi setup? I'm assuming a Pi 3? All images I've tried had the old sound MAME emulation glitch. Was too annoying, so I avoid those games in PI, as I'm pretty competitive mk snob since I've owned orig cabs. Switched to regular emulation in PC for that and Killer Instinct.
Works great on the Pi 3 B+. You may or may not need to reduce the volume on MK2 & 3, depending on what they were set at in the image. Every once in a while there was a small amount of clipping/distortion in the sounds for me when there were uppercuts, but turning the volume down to under 80% or so in the operator's menu fixes it.
Hi and thenk you for the upload. I am looking to buy one of these and would appreciate if you know the answers for these questions: 1. Do you know the backlight lifespan for the model or if there is an OSD backlight hours counter? 2. Do you know the minimum brightness level it could reach? Today`s DElls of 300cd/m2 start at around 40cd/m2 minimal brightness.
Thanks for the video, I've been watching a lot of your build/install breakdowns, and they've been very helpful. Could you explain how you hooked the monitor up to the raspberry pi and if/how you grounded the monitor? Is that even necessary?
Awesome, lemme know how it goes! I actually ended up later putting on tempered glass and using poster board (with the same MKII insert) instead of the spray painted plexi, so check those out if you haven't already (ua-cam.com/video/z5GfLsrPqPs/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/n_FbFGK9gHE/v-deo.html). Love your channel by the way, Erik!
Also of note: It's WAY easier and more graceful to use posterboard for the bezel than to try to spray paint the plexiglass (or glass, whatever you decide to use). When I made my bezel out of poster board, I made one small mistake though: I spray painted it with gloss black paint. If you're applying a vinyl decal to it, it doesn't matter (you don't even have to paint it of course), but if you're going for a black bezel, use satin or matte paint, not gloss. Gloss makes "wet" looking marks wherever it makes contact with the plexi or glass. Get white poster board though and paint it if you need it to be a color, because black is the most expensive because they have to print the black on there, and white is the cheapest.
I am going to upgrade my monitor on the MK II cabinet. I am just curious you no longer need the Video controller board when using a new LCD monitor correct? Thanks for the video's
What else do you need to make this work besides the Raspberry Pi, DVI d, and monitor? And would you still need a LCD control board and mini amp? It's hard to tell what all you have in there with all those wires and it being dark lol

Thanks! I went to Lowe's or Home Depot (can't remember which) with the old plexi/bezel and just had them cut me a piece to size. I think it was only $12 and they cut it for me for free. I later ended up replacing that new plexi though with tempered glass from One Day Glass online. It wasn't cheap, but I did get a bulk discount because I got a couple of them at the same time, but YMMV. Then, I made a bezel to put behind the glass out of some black posterboard. Came out pretty sweet! There are some videos of it on my channel.
Awesome job Chris! With this video, you have given me the confidence to finally go ahead and do this last mod to my SF 2 cab. I've pretty much done the same exact mods you have. I have a couple of questions that I hope you could help me with. Do you happen to have a link on where you purchased the DVI-D to HDMI adapter? I cannot tell if the HDMI part is a female or male. Next thing and not necessary, measurements of the plexiglass. I can measure it my self but thought I could get it quickly from you and maybe head out to Lowe's later on. Thanks for your time!
@@ArcadeSchoolI appreciate the quick response. I ordered one used from Amazon for $65. Should arrive by Aug.4. Hopefully it isn't too banged up. Lol. Thanks for the info and I'll let you know how it all goes. Take care.
@@ArcadeSchool Oh yeah I forgot one thing. What is the thickness of the plexiglass or if you have a link to it from Lowe's, that will do also. Thanks again.
@@ArcadeSchool I ended up getting at Lowe's the 18"x 24" and the thickness is 0.08" had them cut it to the measurements you gave me. Next I'm gonna try to figure out how to cut around the monitor board thing you did.
Awesome mk mod!!! I finally got my Dell 2007fba 20" monitor in. So what all do I need to install it in my arcade1up? The only part I really understood was you got lowes to cut the plexiglass and you drilled holes in it. Other than that, I got lost lol. Hope you can help me out.
I want to mod my MK cabinet but im hesitant about the button layout.. It's good for MK, but not for every game.. I cant imagine playing SF2 with the MK button layout for example. Has the MK button layout hindered your experience with any other games or has it been alright to play with?
Once you get used to it, it feels weird to even play SF on the standard SF-style layout. It ends up becoming something you get used to. For example I prefer to play Marvel Superheroes on my MK cab because of it (and because I like the IL joysticks better than Sanwa).
Sounds like there's a setting in the emulator somewhere, either Emulation Station or MAME itself. I'm not sure, I didn't have that issue with mine, but if it plays sound on bootup, then that rules out anything being hooked up wrong, so it has to be a setting in something.
Thinking of building a simple multicade by using a Arcade 1up Pacman cabinet and installing a Pandora Box in place of the original.. wondering if I can plug the Pandora in the original screen in the Pacman???
Should be able to with the proper monitor encoder. You'll have to check the model number on your monitor to see which encoder you need, as the models vary even on the same game titles.
Do you have trouble with the screen being dim compared to the original 1 up screen. Anyway to increase the brightness. The dvi converter wont let you in this monitor.
Nope, it looks fantastic. I left the original remote board on the monitor (just the PCB with the controls on it, not the plastic shroud); it's attached via a ribbon cable, so I was able to wrap it around to the back of the monitor and mount it there so I can still access it and change the settings as needed.
Loved the video! I'm new to the whole Raspberry Pi and still trying to figure it out. I believe it is called the theme/layout for attract mode (?). Anyway, im looking to see if you can provide the link to the comic book theme you have. It is definitely my favorite of all the ones I have seen so far! Thanks in advance!
U can mod a cab to do just that... My mortal Kombat cab is modded to play every mortal Kombat made except for the new ones. I could've done just one of I wanted. Just find some artwork u want for ur game and mod it.....it's not hard whatsoever dude
I left them at stock, but left the controller board attached to the monitor and wrapped it around to the back and mounted it on there so that I can adjust it if needed.
The display looks great. I'll have to eventually do that with my SF cab 😁 Note: you should really disable the boot up text, super simple to do - ua-cam.com/video/KGf225Qb02I/v-deo.html
Check out my friend Bobby's step by step how to disassemble a Dell monitor for replacement in Arcade1up Cabinet. ua-cam.com/video/pOkw88rkBXU/v-deo.html
This is a 4:3 monitor purchased off eBay. They don't make 4:3 monitors anymore, they're the old "square" style ones, not widescreen. Most modders prefer these square monitors because they match the aspect ratio of the old CRT "tube" monitors that were used in the original arcades. This particular one is a Dell 2007FPb.
Hmm, HDMI to DVI-D should work, but you may have to set the input source on the monitor from VGA to DVI. Other than that, I would check the HDMI cable on another monitor (like on your PC or TV) to make sure the cable works, and check the adapter too if you have another TV or PC monitor that can take DVI-D input.
HELP! So I installed the exact same monitor. Looks great. I am using a Raspberri Pie 3+. Plugged in the VGA and HDMI converter into the monitor. I keep getting this message saying “out of range signal. Cannot display this video mode. Change Computer display input to 1600x1200”. I have no clue how to change this. I am assuming you change the file. No idea how to do that. I’m sorry. Learning a lot.
I'm new to this mod thing 🤷🏻♂️ I just ordered the limited edition Marvel cabin I was just wondering how can I get the Raspberry Pi installed with the games like how you do that can you please reach out to me
The audio out is from the Raspberry Pi, using a 3.5mm to RCA cable which goes into a small Kinter amp, and then the speakers are just wired to the amp.
@@ArcadeSchool No that does, thanks for the clarification! I am planning on doing the marquee upgrade soon and the monitor upgrade also. Thanks again and the cabinet looks great.
With an HDMI cable from the Pi into the monitor (for this particular monitor I needed an HDMI to DVI adapter since that monitor doesn't have HDMI input).
It depends on the model of the monitor (not just the game cabinet you have, as they used a few different models of monitors even in cabinets of the same game). The model is printed on a sticker on the back of the monitor, and you should be able to search Amazon for that model number and get the correct result. Usually all the LCD controller boards sold on there have the model number(s) they support in the title of the product, so it should come right up.
Sorry Jay, I was searching for a way to get the same monitor (Dell 2007fpb) to work with pi. Have not ha much luck with pi4 and multiple configurations. Getting ready to try a pi3. I have 4 of the monitors and love the quality and the fact that it’s 4:3. Really want to be able to use them. Have you had any luck?
@@ArcadeSchool thank you. For some reason my raspberry pi will not display a signal with the DVI-D it will only display when I use the RGB signal. I can change the display signal within the raspberry pi menu but it still won't work with the DVI-D. But I really do like what you've done so far. Did you put the game ROMs on an SD card yourself?? I'm not so computer savvy so even that has thrown me for a loop.
@@crashoverride576 I got an image from Arcade Punks called "Wolfanoz Arcade Only", I think the 64GB one. Sorry to hear the DVI-D didn't work for you, but I'm glad the VGA one does. It might actually be a setting on the monitor itself, not the Raspberry Pi, because the Pi is only outputting HDMI. If messing with the settings on the monitor doesn't work, then it might be a bad DVI port on the monitor, but at least the VGA works anyway.
I know its crazy-pisses me off honesty. the things are 13 years old for god sake. I hate when every cheap ass person is trying to make a killing instead of just a reasonable profit.
@@ArcadeSchool increased the value in my opinion. I would love those features. Plus i see modded cabs on ebay for $1000 and up. Stock ones $300 and up.
@@dragongamer2670 Theres the difference. Most people these days arent getting into these for collecting.. they want to actually play the games. The only other way to play some of these are was to go to the arcade. You say this thing will fall apart... old machines have components fail all the time too. With the upgrades, you van probably get one of these at 500
@@dragongamer2670 You're projecting your own interest in collecting original games and arcades onto others. I don't want an original arcade unit. I want a cabinet that I can mod with a Pi, so I have 1,000's of games on it. That's what people are modding these for. Further---real wood, monitor, sanwa/happ joysticks, buttons, yadda yadda....these are exactly the kinds of mods that people are making on these machines. The only original thing left on my A1U are the side panels with the graphics. Why not an original arcade then? Not logical in my apartment. Only one game. And I can't customize it to my liking. Modding is a completely different hobby than collecting.
@@dragongamer2670 1) You invented anyone here saying Arcade1Up's would be worth $1K in the future. If someone thoroughly customizes an Arcade1Up cabinet---it is no longer an Arcade1Up cabinet. 2) People are using Arcade1Up's to essentially build MAME MACHINES. 3) Those MAME machines (whether it's a Pi or PC) can sometimes be sold for over $1K or more, simply based on being built with high quality monitors, authentic joysticks, buttons, custom woodwork, using a high end PC etc. In other words, they ARE getting what they paid for. Your argument as stated is "Modded Arcade1Up's aren't worth $1K" The answer would be---no one said they were. It used to be a Arcade1Up. Now it's a MAME cabinet with $1K worth of hardware (or whatever value of components they used). And 4) Yes, you are projecting your own hobbies on to others, and you just did it again with emulation. You're not "telling me how it is sadly" with emulation, simply because I, and many 1,000's of others have used emulators for years, with great enjoyment. You're being the "Audiophile snob" going on about how vinyl is so much better than MP3's or streaming. Sure, but only a small number of people actually CARE or can tell the difference. The system that I currently use, I love....1,000's of games to enjoy, and play great. Family and friends love it too. Which is why I made a cabinet for it. Because it's awesome. Way prefer it over a single authentic arcade. Played both plenty. That's why I made what I made and not what you're talking about. Also got the original Arcade1Up cab on sale, which made it cheaper and far simpler than cutting/building the cabinet myself. Comparing modding and emulation to collecting and authentic playing is comparing apples to oranges. I also collect authentic retro games and systems as well. Not the same thing. Not even remotely.
@@dragongamer2670 No. You're not understanding that everything you're saying is irrelevant. The original person you were responding to was referring to Arcade1Up's on the market, and they accurately stated: "I see modded cabs on ebay for $1000 and up. Stock ones $300 and up." Your response was: "Dude these machines are a joke. No one is going to pay $1000 for a machine that is going to fall apart over the years. Real Arcade machines last cause they use real wood and good joysticks and buttons. A real arcade collector will not pay for something that has no value" • He simply said modded A1UP cabs (which technically aren't A1UP cabs) are being bought and sold for up to $1K and more, and stock ones around $300 and up. That's just a simple fact. • Secondly, those modded cabs that are selling for $1K+, are selling for $1K+ because they are modded with the very components you just listed above as being valuable. If you replaced the stock monitor with a $5K monitor...it doesn't matter if you think it's stupid, the cab is now worth $5K. • Also, no where did he state that "real arcade collectors" are buying them. You inserted that narrative, and it's irrelevant comparisons to authentic arcades. You are the only one trying to compare the two. What he and you both wrote is there right above. Then someone wrote: "Most people these days arent getting into these for collecting.." (Again...referring specifically to those buying and modding Arcade1Up cabinets.) Your response: "Highly disagree! This is why - People are getting into game collecting.." • Then who is buying them and creating the ever growing 3rd party custom cab communities? The Tooth Fairy? Hulk Hogan? Just because these people aren't in your little world, doesn't mean they don't exist. Somebody is supporting this demand. People getting into game collecting is irrelevant. Other people are into MAME cabinets. That's who's buying and building these MAME cabinets. This is a video and thread about customizing a MAME cabinet. Not authentic Arcades and Arcade machine collecting. "Until you realize some games cannot be played that way or the emulation is really bad or the game doesn't play the way it was suppose to play. LoL!" • Why on Earth would someone build (or buy) a cabinet for their MAME/emulation system if the games they wanted to play didn't work on their MAME/emulation system to their satisfaction? What a stupid argument. "...modding something makes it more Valuable. Sadly that isn't the case when it comes to Retro Stuff. • Good thing this isn't a thread about modding retro stuff. "So yeah good luck telling the sales people on the Retro Convention floor that the Modded un-original games and systems you have are worth more?" • Why would someone be selling their MAME cabinet to a retro sales dealer at a retro convention? They're selling like hot cakes where people buy custom MAME cabs and parts though! "Yes people can mod any computer or machine to make it into a Mame machine. Duh! Does it mean it would last as long? NO!" • Modded with what? Authentic arcade components and high quality wood-all of the things you listed above as lasting a long time? Surprisingly--very long! (My brother in law's has been going 20 years and still strong). "Also again MAME cannot play every single Arcade machine correctly." • Who is this news to? You don't think people who use and build MAME cabs (or just use Pi's etc) know this, and already play MAME cabs, Pi, PC etc.? They're into MAME and emulation. Of course they know this. Have people been using emulation and enjoying it for over 20 years? Yup! That means thousands and thousands of people play 1,000's of games they enjoy to THEIR satisfaction (and they don't care about you or your friend's opinions). How about that! A whole different world exists outside your little bubble! And some of them would like to play those 1,000's of games in a cabinet. And there's a market for it. It's that simple. And that market alone is what sets the value. Not you and your standards of gaming.
Yo someone get us a partnership with these arcades companies or we need to start our own companies cuz we all need to be getting paid for these miniature versions of the actual cabinets that you can have in your home this is the best idea since they came out with the Arcade 1up!!

U can mod a cab to do just that... My mortal Kombat cab is modded to play every mortal Kombat made except for the new ones. I could've done just one of I wanted. Just find some artwork u want for ur game and mod it.....it's not hard whatsoever dude
looks great brotha...
What did you have your monitor set at with brightness and contrast or you left it at stock
I left them at stock, but left the controller board attached to the monitor and wrapped it around to the back and mounted it on there so that I can adjust it if needed.
Ebay sellers have Jacked the price way up. Now $150 to get one. :(
What bolt size do you need to mount the monitor?
what front end is that?
that is just beautiful
Thanks!
The display looks great. I'll have to eventually do that with my SF cab 😁
Note: you should really disable the boot up text, super simple to do -

What do you do with your leftover Arcade1Up stock monitor?
I've got it as a backup, since the 20" one is 14 years old.
What's the Arcade punks REtropie build called ?

How did you pick this monitor? Im wondering if I can pick up any 20'' monitor off Amazon and it seat properly?
This is a 4:3 monitor purchased off eBay. They don't make 4:3 monitors anymore, they're the old "square" style ones, not widescreen. Most modders prefer these square monitors because they match the aspect ratio of the old CRT "tube" monitors that were used in the original arcades. This particular one is a Dell 2007FPb.
@@ArcadeSchool Good to know -- taking your lead and trying this mod. Really excited to take a jigsaw to my 1up -- glad it was $70!!!
Know how do you plug monitor into Pandora’s box did hdmi to Dvr no signal please help
Hmm, HDMI to DVI-D should work, but you may have to set the input source on the monitor from VGA to DVI. Other than that, I would check the HDMI cable on another monitor (like on your PC or TV) to make sure the cable works, and check the adapter too if you have another TV or PC monitor that can take DVI-D input.
HELP! So I installed the exact same monitor. Looks great.
I am using a Raspberri Pie 3+. Plugged in the VGA and HDMI converter into the monitor. I keep getting this message saying “out of range signal. Cannot display this video mode. Change Computer display input to 1600x1200”. I have no clue how to change this. I am assuming you change the file. No idea how to do that. I’m sorry. Learning a lot.
Have u found the solution?. Simple fix
@@misterjon32 unfortunately no.
I'm new to this mod thing 🤷🏻♂️ I just ordered the limited edition Marvel cabin I was just wondering how can I get the Raspberry Pi installed with the games like how you do that can you please reach out to me
watch eta primes videos on how to install rasberry pi, join arcade1up modding facebook group for additional help.
Thanks
I’m going to do the same thing but I’m going to get the Eizo monitor instead because they still selling the brand new 4:3 monitor
Where does the audio output come from?
The audio out is from the Raspberry Pi, using a 3.5mm to RCA cable which goes into a small Kinter amp, and then the speakers are just wired to the amp.
@@ArcadeSchool Thanks
this is a raspberry pi upgrade more than an A1U one :/ was looking for PCB specific stuff
great video man!! was wondering what type of cable your using to connect your pi to the monitor? is it just a regular hdmi to vga?
nevermind...guess I didn't watch your video long enough
How do you get raspberry pi to look like that? I dont like the other themes
Hi Rick, It's the theme called Retrorama.
How did you get the light up marquee powered since you are no longer using the arcade1up power?
@@ArcadeSchool No that does, thanks for the clarification! I am planning on doing the marquee upgrade soon and the monitor upgrade also. Thanks again and the cabinet looks great.
how did you connect to the reasbery pie ????????
With an HDMI cable from the Pi into the monitor (for this particular monitor I needed an HDMI to DVI adapter since that monitor doesn't have HDMI input).
@@ArcadeSchool Can you please tell us how you got the sound to work?
What lcd controller board do i need to hook it up? Im doing the pc mod
It depends on the model of the monitor (not just the game cabinet you have, as they used a few different models of monitors even in cabinets of the same game). The model is printed on a sticker on the back of the monitor, and you should be able to search Amazon for that model number and get the correct result. Usually all the LCD controller boards sold on there have the model number(s) they support in the title of the product, so it should come right up.
can I get your config file so my dell 2007fbp will work since its saying out of range
I need to know how you got your monitor to work for this same reason!
@@joshua17724 what do you mean
Sorry Jay, I was searching for a way to get the same monitor (Dell 2007fpb) to work with pi. Have not ha much luck with pi4 and multiple configurations. Getting ready to try a pi3. I have 4 of the monitors and love the quality and the fact that it’s 4:3. Really want to be able to use them. Have you had any luck?
How did you get the raspberry pi to work with the monitor?
Here's the HDMI to DVI-D adapter I used: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CXY79KR
@@ArcadeSchool thank you. For some reason my raspberry pi will not display a signal with the DVI-D it will only display when I use the RGB signal. I can change the display signal within the raspberry pi menu but it still won't work with the DVI-D. But I really do like what you've done so far. Did you put the game ROMs on an SD card yourself?? I'm not so computer savvy so even that has thrown me for a loop.
@@ArcadeSchool sorry I meant VGA not RGB. Lol
@@crashoverride576 I got an image from Arcade Punks called "Wolfanoz Arcade Only", I think the 64GB one. Sorry to hear the DVI-D didn't work for you, but I'm glad the VGA one does. It might actually be a setting on the monitor itself, not the Raspberry Pi, because the Pi is only outputting HDMI. If messing with the settings on the monitor doesn't work, then it might be a bad DVI port on the monitor, but at least the VGA works anyway.
hi can you share your config file raspberry pi 4 my dell 2007fbp wont work since its saying out of range thanks
did you figure this out? im having the same issue. if so, please pm me
@@VKeeper42
Hi add the comment to #hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
And roms will work
How is the response time? Planning on picking one of these up.
How are you gonna play Street Fighter 2 jk jk, good job. Looking into this monitor myself now. Was looking for something similar.
viewing angel is good because of the size aka how small
That's what I want to do with my MK2 cabinet, it's the least played
I wish I could have you do mine like that!!!
you can hide the rpi bootup crap if you want :)
🤔👍nice
4:3 20" monitors have tripled in price since!
I know its crazy-pisses me off honesty. the things are 13 years old for god sake. I hate when every cheap ass person is trying to make a killing instead of just a reasonable profit.
Bought mine for $100. 😬🤷🏽♂️
Would be nice to see the actual Mk games on the new monitor. Pointless vid
You just devalue your cabinet
@@ArcadeSchool increased the value in my opinion. I would love those features. Plus i see modded cabs on ebay for $1000 and up. Stock ones $300 and up.
@@dragongamer2670 Theres the difference. Most people these days arent getting into these for collecting.. they want to actually play the games. The only other way to play some of these are was to go to the arcade. You say this thing will fall apart... old machines have components fail all the time too. With the upgrades, you van probably get one of these at 500
@@dragongamer2670 You're projecting your own interest in collecting original games and arcades onto others. I don't want an original arcade unit. I want a cabinet that I can mod with a Pi, so I have 1,000's of games on it. That's what people are modding these for. Further---real wood, monitor, sanwa/happ joysticks, buttons, yadda yadda....these are exactly the kinds of mods that people are making on these machines. The only original thing left on my A1U are the side panels with the graphics. Why not an original arcade then? Not logical in my apartment. Only one game. And I can't customize it to my liking. Modding is a completely different hobby than collecting.
@@dragongamer2670 1) You invented anyone here saying Arcade1Up's would be worth $1K in the future. If someone thoroughly customizes an Arcade1Up cabinet---it is no longer an Arcade1Up cabinet. 2) People are using Arcade1Up's to essentially build MAME MACHINES. 3) Those MAME machines (whether it's a Pi or PC) can sometimes be sold for over $1K or more, simply based on being built with high quality monitors, authentic joysticks, buttons, custom woodwork, using a high end PC etc. In other words, they ARE getting what they paid for. Your argument as stated is "Modded Arcade1Up's aren't worth $1K" The answer would be---no one said they were. It used to be a Arcade1Up. Now it's a MAME cabinet with $1K worth of hardware (or whatever value of components they used). And 4) Yes, you are projecting your own hobbies on to others, and you just did it again with emulation. You're not "telling me how it is sadly" with emulation, simply because I, and many 1,000's of others have used emulators for years, with great enjoyment. You're being the "Audiophile snob" going on about how vinyl is so much better than MP3's or streaming. Sure, but only a small number of people actually CARE or can tell the difference. The system that I currently use, I love....1,000's of games to enjoy, and play great. Family and friends love it too. Which is why I made a cabinet for it. Because it's awesome. Way prefer it over a single authentic arcade. Played both plenty. That's why I made what I made and not what you're talking about. Also got the original Arcade1Up cab on sale, which made it cheaper and far simpler than cutting/building the cabinet myself. Comparing modding and emulation to collecting and authentic playing is comparing apples to oranges. I also collect authentic retro games and systems as well. Not the same thing. Not even remotely.
@@dragongamer2670 No. You're not understanding that everything you're saying is irrelevant. The original person you were responding to was referring to Arcade1Up's on the market, and they accurately stated: "I see modded cabs on ebay for $1000 and up. Stock ones $300 and up."
Your response was:
"Dude these machines are a joke. No one is going to pay $1000 for a machine that is going to fall apart over the years. Real Arcade machines last cause they use real wood and good joysticks and buttons. A real arcade collector will not pay for something that has no value"
• He simply said modded A1UP cabs (which technically aren't A1UP cabs) are being bought and sold for up to $1K and more, and stock ones around $300 and up. That's just a simple fact.
• Secondly, those modded cabs that are selling for $1K+, are selling for $1K+ because they are modded with the very components you just listed above as being valuable.
If you replaced the stock monitor with a $5K monitor...it doesn't matter if you think it's stupid, the cab is now worth $5K.
• Also, no where did he state that "real arcade collectors" are buying them. You inserted that narrative, and it's irrelevant comparisons to authentic arcades. You are the only one trying to compare the two. What he and you both wrote is there right above.
Then someone wrote:
"Most people these days arent getting into these for collecting.." (Again...referring specifically to those buying and modding Arcade1Up cabinets.)
Your response:
"Highly disagree! This is why - People are getting into game collecting.."
• Then who is buying them and creating the ever growing 3rd party custom cab communities? The Tooth Fairy? Hulk Hogan? Just because these people aren't in your little world, doesn't mean they don't exist. Somebody is supporting this demand.
People getting into game collecting is irrelevant. Other people are into MAME cabinets. That's who's buying and building these MAME cabinets. This is a video and thread about customizing a MAME cabinet. Not authentic Arcades and Arcade machine collecting.
"Until you realize some games cannot be played that way or the emulation is really bad or the game doesn't play the way it was suppose to play. LoL!"
• Why on Earth would someone build (or buy) a cabinet for their MAME/emulation system if the games they wanted to play didn't work on their MAME/emulation system to their satisfaction? What a stupid argument.
"...modding something makes it more Valuable. Sadly that isn't the case when it comes to Retro Stuff.
• Good thing this isn't a thread about modding retro stuff.
"So yeah good luck telling the sales people on the Retro Convention floor that the Modded un-original games and systems you have are worth more?"
• Why would someone be selling their MAME cabinet to a retro sales dealer at a retro convention? They're selling like hot cakes where people buy custom MAME cabs and parts though!
"Yes people can mod any computer or machine to make it into a Mame machine. Duh! Does it mean it would last as long? NO!"
• Modded with what? Authentic arcade components and high quality wood-all of the things you listed above as lasting a long time? Surprisingly--very long! (My brother in law's has been going 20 years and still strong).
"Also again MAME cannot play every single Arcade machine correctly."
• Who is this news to? You don't think people who use and build MAME cabs (or just use Pi's etc) know this, and already play MAME cabs, Pi, PC etc.? They're into MAME and emulation. Of course they know this.
Have people been using emulation and enjoying it for over 20 years? Yup! That means thousands and thousands of people play 1,000's of games they enjoy to THEIR satisfaction (and they don't care about you or your friend's opinions). How about that! A whole different world exists outside your little bubble!
And some of them would like to play those 1,000's of games in a cabinet. And there's a market for it. It's that simple. And that market alone is what sets the value. Not you and your standards of gaming.
Yo someone get us a partnership with these arcades companies or we need to start our own companies cuz we all need to be getting paid for these miniature versions of the actual cabinets that you can have in your home this is the best idea since they came out with the Arcade 1up!! This is incredible!!! This cabinet is amazing!!!!
where did you get the graphics for your riser??
