Awesome! I modded Big Blue with Sanwa sticks and loved them. I was a bit on the fence about swapping the buttons, but it looks like a super simple operation, no drilling is a major plus. thanks for the video man.
Late to the party, but I got myself an Arcade1Up SSF2 Legacy and the factory joysticks actually felt horrible, so I wanted to replace em. Found your vid here on it, got in touch with the website you have in the description (since everything in A1Ups line seems random to me) and tomorrow I am getting harness and stick. Thx for the tutorial man, really helped me a lot to overcome the fear of modding that thing!
Doing a mod on the buttons on my Yoga Flame. Sometimes my input doesn't register at all on the fierces, so I think the Sanwa buttons will help. Will see if the better joysticks in that cab are good enough in the long run, but may replace them with Sanwas too. Costing me about $50 CAD plus $25 shipping and the sales tax for the 12 buttons.
Great video my dude. I've screwed up the direction on some sticks too. My rule now.....white plug always goes up. Another tip on the buttons. I just modded my big blue with them and learned I put the wires on the wrong prongs. I originally had it on top and bottom (I think like you?) and it felt like you needed to hold down the button for it to work. They work it's just the timing is off. Almost like a double switch. I think you should try putting on the top 2 (top and middle) and then do the selection button. I think you will notice a difference. Keep me posted.
Haha yup I caught myself after I tested it. But didn’t want to make the video too long replugging it in. So the note I added where I talk about the switch and the button and how I put the first wire on the wrong prong will hopefully steer people right. I appreciate the catch!!! I’ll also make sure to demo it correctly when I do my round 2 Xmen vs street fighter mod video. And I’ll make mention of the correction. Thank you for watching. And thank you again for catching and sharing that!
Great content! I have the MK2 legacy edition and I want to swap the stick and buttons. Which stick fits with that cabinet? The double 4 wave 3? Thanks so much!!
I realize you’re not the support channel for this, but I can’t find the best information when it comes to a1up modding. You made a text correction in your video to show that the wires should go on prongs 2 &3 of the cherry switch. Did you find that If you wire it like you originally had it in the visual demonstration that it was creating an in game reset? I’m trying to do this 1 button at a time (specifically player 2 button) so I can become more familiar with the replacement and control board layout. so far my install has resulted in the game being reset as though player 2 button is being held down. There’s no obstruction pressing the switch though. Thoughts?
Yeah when I had them wired up incorrectly. The buttons couldn’t be activated or remained in an activated state permanently. So I had to wire them correctly so that they activated and then deactivated correctly.
Just what the Dr ordered. Just set up my big blue this week. After a few games I was already thinking where to buy some new sticks snd buttons. So your vid is perfect timing. Thanks for all the info and time you put in. Question, what cables did you order for the sticks and buttons from DIY. I was also looking at focus attacks site.
Glad you found it helpful. The cable for the stick is the dual 4 pin gen 3, and the cable for the buttons is the only cable they offer on the button page I linked in the description. I went 12" for both. Let me know how the mod goes!
@@OfficeArcade thanks for the info. I’ll let you know what I decide to do. Also thinking of going with the Boss panel from 99 lives arcade just because the design allows more room for two players.
@@OfficeArcade I thought if that too. Not sure if I le I’ll like it. So thinking about it. I do already have so IL joysticks I was thinking of placing in there but will need some customizing. So when I saw your vid on the plug and play got me thinking 🤔 Keep up the awesome work the gaming community appreciates it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi. I have a 1up arcade Street Fighter 2 Legacy Edition, which is black with yellow lines and I want to put new buttons and sticks on it, but without changing the board where the connectors go. Do you know what kind of buttons I can use so I don't make a mistake?
Hello, I just got 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? I'll be installing a Sanwa joystick and buttons. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Nice video, helpful.Waiting on my first cab myself. I purchased the yoga flame edition and will upgrade to the sanwa later. But I saw on the site there are 3 cables for the stick. Which one would I need? Thanks
Gotcha. I think they only offered 2 cables for those buttons in the past. But they were the same cables just different lengths. I think I used the 12 or 15”.
I got in my cab today and trying to replace the buttons at it is extremely extremely hard to remove the connector from the buttons. My fingers are hurting wow. Why are they in so hard?
Great video! Regarding the Sawa joystick swap, I noticed you mentioned to take the plate off of the Arcade1up stick and put it on TOP of the Sawa joystick plate but I'm wondering if what you meant was to swap the them instead of stacking one on top of another? I just want to make sure I understand because in my mind if you put one on top of the other there could be fitment issues. Also, what did you do regarding the joystick gate? Thanks!
Yeah, you want to swap them. So take the one that comes with the stick off, and put the one that was on the arcade1up on your new stick. Thanks for watching!
Great video and tutorial, however I recently just finished setting up all the buttons for the players 1 side, and at first they worked really well on street fighter, however when I started playing final fight, I noticed every button I press would activate the spinning attack, which requires both buttons to be pressed. I likely messed up somewhere, but everything I did is the exact same in the video. Is there a fix to this?
@@OfficeArcade ok cool. i may upgrade it, i gotta see. I dont think ill be playing much more of big blue online with so many games coming out and the lobby is always dead when i go on!
It’s been more active around dinner time lately. I’d keep and eye on it. I usually turn on hyper fighting or super turbo in the background while playing sfv, and if I see the rooms fill up, I jump over to big blue. I’ll be adding xvsf back into the mix as soon as I upgrade that cab too.
It should! They use the same control boards. I’m just not sure how far the buttons are from the controller PCB. So I’d be mindful of wire length. If you get Sanwas which can connect up to the existing arcade1up wires, then you are golden. If you swap sticks you’ll have to make sure you get cables long enough for the swap or you’ll have to splice cables (which I’m personally not a fan of but most people don’t mind).
Nice job. When I'm ginish modding my can I'll send you a pick. I order Happ joysticks and gold sawnw buttons for player 1 then chrome red , white , and blue buttons for player 2
Hi, I am a new subscriber to your channel. I recently bought a Arcade 1up Street Fighter Legacy edition and my right joystick backflip works intermittently, Also the right side strong kick button does not work.I wanted to change the joystick and the button, I used the links in this video, I am good with the buttons and the wires for the buttons, but the joystick I am not sure what cable wire I need. Selected with your link it says DOUBLE 4 WAVE 1/2. Is this the correct cable for my SF LEGACY EDITION?
thanks for the feedback, yea I got the BLUE last week and love it! I just want to really have a solid buttons and joystick upgrade now... so asking around what would be best as a serious SF2 player Do you know if the SF2 Legacy joystick will fit into my BLUE? I love the firmness and also thinking of going with the buttons u recommended (not the one with the long click).
I mean after playing on Sanwa's since the first TE from MadCatz came out, I always prefer to go to Sanwa stick and Sanwa buttons. Even my main 3 fight sticks for non-arcade gaming are all Victrix sticks which are made with all Sanwa parts (very cool sticks if you haven't seen them). So personally, and after testing, the Sanwa stick with Sanwa buttons ended up being my favorite combo. These buttons in this video are American style IL imitations. They are super nice buttons and folks who like a firm click love them. But for me, they were too firm for short link windows in some of these older games. So in my 4th video in this series (posted it like a week ago?), I ended up going with Sanwa for player 1.
Nice! I wonder if these sticks would give me the spring action I’m looking for? I replaced my tension springs with 4lb springs thinking it would allow me to do the classic raiden moves easier. Although the 4lb feels much nicer than the stock springs it still doesn’t spring back fast enough. I liked the original arcade feel where I could hit down and let off to let the joystick spring upward on it own to do the raiden teleport or same thing with the flying torpedo move by hitting back twice and letting go to allow the stick to spring forward on its own. I feel like I could do it maybe 20% of the time with the stock springs but now it’s like less than 5% with the 4 lb:/ it almost has the opposite effect I was going for because they’re so stiff. I hope this makes sense lol. Any chance you could test the theory for me on your MK machine with these sticks? If you’ve modded your MK that is. Wouldn’t expect you to take it all apart just to try this haha. Anyway nice video and have a good day!
I ordered my machine the other day (it hasn't even arrived yet). I'm going to put IL Eurobricks in mine. So I appreciate your video, so I could get a look at the control board. I might have to Dremel... But I want that IL, lol.
Yeah ILs are nice. I’d be surprised if it fit correctly without dremeling. But I’d it does you’ll still need to anchor it on the base of the panel with your own holes.
Great video. Quick question, maybe you went over it but I missed it, but can you clarify which sanwa wire is plug-n-play with big blue? Is it the "Double 4 Wave 1/2" that comes up? Thanks
Great vid man! Question though, do we need new wires in order to wire up those buttons? And if so, do you have the link for those? Thanks in advance! And Hope to see you online.
Yeah, if you don't want to cut anything, you'll need new wires. They are included in the description. The link for the joystick has the wire that goes with it. And same for the button. Good luck with the modding, let me know how it goes!
Hey. I'm doing the raspberry pi mod on my big blue. But I'm using non-led buttons. Does it matter what USB encoders I use? Was thinking using led USB encoders.
Nah. Shouldn’t matter if you aren’t lighting them as far as I am aware. Kongs R Us and 2Dai4 would be other good people to ask since they also do a TON of modding.
It’s square gate. But honestly, square gate is the recommended configuration for fighting games. Especially if you are playing a game where you hold back to block or especially, especially when you have a game with charge characters.
Honestly the joystick makes a huge difference. So I’d recommend at least swapping the player 1 joystick just to give yourself the best experience possible. The buttons are fine enough though. And if you don’t have someone hardcore playing on player 2, there’s no need to upgrade it.
No drilling needed for the Sanwa stick. You'll have to blow dry the metal plate on the A1Up to remove it from the stock stick and the panel (melts the glue). And then you can swap that metal plate with the one that comes stock on the Sanwa, and you are good to go! You can see it in the timelapse portion of the video. Great questions Jeff!
If you buy sanwa buttons you can reuse the wires that come with the cabinet. If you want ILs, you can buy from the site in the description. They have the wire purchasable for A1Ups there. I would buy better switches for the buttons though since their’s can be stiff.
What about the joystick they give a couple different options? Also do I need to purchase new wires for that? If so the give a couple different options for that as well. Thank you so much for the help
@@lacedup702 that one you do need new wires for. If it’s a newer cabinet you’ll want the latest gen sanwa. If you send me what cab you are upgrading and what options they list now, I can help you pick.
I hope you got everything “glued back” the way it was. That stuff is glued for a reason. Actually I don’t get it. I bought a Walmart display Turtles cab a year ago and sticks were destroyed so I replaced them all with sanwa. Try having to do 4 of them and all that glue lol.
Depends on weather you are looking for heavy spring buttons or sanwa switch style buttons. I have another video I did after where I swap mine out for Sanwas.
Awesome! I modded Big Blue with Sanwa sticks and loved them. I was a bit on the fence about swapping the buttons, but it looks like a super simple operation, no drilling is a major plus. thanks for the video man.

For the sanwa buttons, you can use the stock arcade1up cables. Just unplug them from the A1Up button and plug right into your sanwa button.

@@buclaw1216 single 5 pin on the stick to dual 4 pin going into the board.
I know but There’s 2 option with 5 pins..one say “A1up encoder” or the “aftermarket encoder” on the ordering page.
@@buclaw1216 I went with arcade1up.
What cable do I choose ?? Dbl 4 Wave 3? (Big Blue)
Yup. That’s the one I went with.
I hope you got everything “glued back” the way it was. That stuff is glued for a reason. Actually I don’t get it. I bought a Walmart display Turtles cab a year ago and sticks were destroyed so I replaced them all with sanwa. Try having to do 4 of them and all that glue lol.
The buttons are worse, I'll need to buy better ones.
Depends on weather you are looking for heavy spring buttons or sanwa switch style buttons. I have another video I did after where I swap mine out for Sanwas.
@@OfficeArcade bread and butters were nearly impossible, swapped the ones in this video out for different ones.
