- In this video, we are going over what is the very beginning of my journey hacking an Arcade1UP machine.
This video will go over the early stages of the mod and explain what was done and what I plan to do in future videos.
This video is meant to be a proof of concept and I do not plan on releasing this hack publically, however,, I discuss all of this in the video itself.
We have finally hacked an Arcade1UP machine! The plan is to release a soft mod to install Retroarch so you can open up the door to running any of your own games natively on the Arcade1UP hardware.

Any update on this? Part 2 coming?
I’m hoping that the new Arcade1up Atari 12-in-1 can be updated to include Lunar Lander that was included in the old 12-in-1, but not in the newest version.
yeah me too!!! even if you end up not being able to accomplish your goal, it wuoold still be interesting to see how the process went.
Excellent work, thanks so much for digging into this. Eagerly anticipating stages 3 and 4.
Steven this is brilliant! I'm excited for the future of this universal system!!
This is cool. But really all I want is to add 1 or 2 favorite games or swap out a couple roms already on the PCB and play them with the emulator/front end already there. In other words I want it to look like a “stock” A1Up cabinet that happens to have a couple extra games.
Same
Same here
Dang I just want three stuff in stage 1 bro just get the rest of the games unlocked for that cab.
This. I just want to add a few beat’em ups to my TMNT. Not add more buttons and what not.
Yeah, that’s exactly what I want too. To look and feel like a stock A1Up with extra games.
I've been trying to learn how to add one or two games to my arcade. Not really tech savvy with modding but really interested with how this plays out. Looks really promising
We are all dieing for an update
nice work Restalgia! there are brilliant minds at work as I was featuring Rob2D from @The Code Always Wins and his hacked A1up Marvel vs Capcom running RetroArch and Street Fighter 3rd Strike. Keep up the good work!
Brilliant work. A 4 player 1up would be perfect for all this. Looking forward to the next stages.
The Simpsons is 4 players, but you need extra steps or else they end up all being mapped to the same input.
Incredible Work, Steve! Very impressive, looking forward to the next videos!
That is so awesome can't wait for more videos on this this would be cool with an outrun cabinet to put more driving games on it keep up the good work sir and thanks for adding me on the Nintendo switch🤓👍🏻
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
This is awesome- VERY interested in being able to remove the blurriness from my Walmart pacman 40th & maybe add a few extra games...
I would love a complete tutorial step by step for this.
Also really interested if this would work in my Space Invaders arcade1up cabinet.
I wouldn’t complain about the 14 game option….. just getting more for my money!!
I did find the nes roms in the Mega Man update but assumed that the buttons/controls would be all messed up and I didn't look into it after that since I don't have anything to test it on. Ionly have a Golden Tee (modded with the 2006 Golden Tee Fore arcade board) and a AFM pinball cab so I couldn't really try it out. Anyway, makes sense that they're kind of setup in a cookie cutter format! Hopefully the rumored virtual pinball updates are the same way! Even if it's just flashing an image for another cab.
wow! I mean even if I could only delete galaxian and replace it with galaga (instead of having to fork over 500 bucks for the class of '81 I was SO pissed cus I had JUST gotten the vanilla ms. pac-man when it was announced) and galaga was definitely the other one I would have wanted on it. then it would definitely be my dream machine!! but I'll subscribe and keep an eye out for future updates on this project for sure.
Same, I'd love to swap out Pacmania and Galaxian for Dig Dug & Galaga.
Fuck yeah man, Jack the shit out of that arcade. I just might buy one myself and follow your hacks. Do it please
This is awesome news! Anxiously awaiting your future videos on the topic.
patiently awaiting more news on this, I am praying for this bootloader you spoke of :) but even just swapping out roms is fine... sux that they are proprietary altered :(
I hope you get access to an Outrun PCB - would be amazing to add more racing games to the machine. Thanks for your work
And there you have it…. What arcade did to make a profit for the 1981 upcoming cabinets… nice work brother!!!
Wow 🤩 perfect timing can’t wait to hack my Pac-Man legacy.. great job 👏 and thank you 😊
I am going to point the obvious here... This is your highest viewed video by A LOT. Do a part 2 and it will be worth your time...
I am working on a part 2, but this is no where near my highest viewed video. 😅
@@Restalgia lol it was worth a shot... Happy holidays my dude.
@@Garageland16 you too brother. I think we are jumping straight to part 3 as expanding the menu would require complete rewriting of it.
@@Restalgia Any progress on that 2nd Vid?
@@Restalgia I think we are all eager to hear back. Do you have a website or Social Media page where you post updates?
Regarding the arcade game ROMs inside the firmware images not being usable with third-party emulators, it is actually possible to split these files apart and reconstruct them into MAME and FBNeo-compatible ROMs. I've gotten every game working except for Galaga and Pac-Man Plus (which needs to be re-encrypted in order to work properly with MAME).
I've written a shell script that will automatically do this for you, that I plan on releasing in the next few days. I'll post back here when it's ready :)
That sounds awesome. Send me an email. Assuming you are a developer, we could use extra help if you have the knowledge
Ok, here's the extraction script:
github.com/farmerbb/RED-Project/blob/master/ROM%20Extraction/arcade1up-extract.sh
And documentation on how to use it:
github.com/farmerbb/RED-Project/wiki/Arcade1Up-Firmware-Updates
Does this mean it is also possible to go in the oppposite direction; From MAME rom to A1UP rom?
I'm only here for stages 5 and beyond. jk Great video and it's going to be fun/interesting to see these other stages.
Stage 5 of this hack doesn't cast a shadow
@@Restalgia I guess I'm here for stages 1-4 after all
Looking forward to a follow up on this!
Hey Restalgia, I saw that the developer you're working with has some personal projects that they are focusing on. And totally understand that making a whole new screen/interface isn't worth the effort. I own this countercade and have it up in my office for my employees. Just getting Galaga on there would be pretty amazing and welcome by everyone. Would you be able to make a tutorial just showing off what you did to make that work in this video? Or perhaps we can correspond via email. I'd sincerely appreciate it!
Great work my friend! Thank you!
I’ve been returning to this channel for 2 years now waiting on part 2😢
Pacman got him i guess
Still waiting
Would love to see the 14 game update. Would like to get a little more out of my cab.
i modded my pac-man partycade and was going to repurpose the pcb to run in a regular A1Up Costco pac-man, but it’s yours if you need it!!
Yeah man, I'll take it. Send me an email to restalgia@gmail.com
Best Arcade1up video I have seen this year! So if the pac40th 7-1 runs the same emulator, would we be able to swap roms between cabs? Are we restricted to number of pages onscreen for games lists? Keep up the good work, love it!
Assuming they run on the same emulator, then yep you can pull from one machine and add to another. We can replace all stock menu or even add additional pages if needed
@@Restalgia that sounds awesome, I would love to have ‘1 good Pac-Man’ with all the pac games, and another cab with all the ‘other’ games!
The original Arcade 1 up boards have all the 1st gen games on them.
Wow Stephen!
So, this is clearly not something for Gen. 1 cabs correct?
I may now look for a used FluffUp just for the purpose of following your mod journey!
Hahaha
What about the 40th anniversary Ms Pac-man? Will this work on it also?
I just purchased the super pac-man from Costco and was hoping to do just this and load more games. Hopefully from 1up themselves. I just received the outrun cabinet today. There is a FW patch there as well. Now I will go in and check to see if there is anything else for this board.
I'm looking through more recent videos and don't see any updates on this specifically. Did you get a cease and desist comment? If not or something else I hope this becomes public as it would be nice to play any game on just one of their cabinets. I just watched a guy add a usb cable to get to the mame settings.
Hey I watched Super Game Room Dudes the other day and subscribed and was browsing through your videos and ran across this one. I had an Asteroids Deluxe cabinet that had a major glitch on the title game. Asteroids Deluxe only had 2 lives but on my Tempest cabinet it’s fixed and has 3 lives. I’m wondering is it possible to take the fixed rom from Tempest and put it on Asteroids Deluxe?
It would in theory be possible but not easy. effectively you'd need to dump the firmware from asteroids and tempest, swap the rom files and recompile a new firmware and side load it. Unfortunately it's not really something I'd recommend or be able to help with as it's requires a significant amount of effort.
Please - Any update on this? Anything you can share at all? I lot of us REALLY want to add or change games on our cabs. I actually bought the MS pacman you showed here, hoping I can mod/hack it. I also bought a few others with the micro usb port hoping they can be modded as well.
A person like you? How do I insert a pirate emoji or gif here?
Okay sausage boy
I'd love to see an Arcade1Up Gorf.
I hope this turns out to be something. I just want to add some roms like I did with my mini Sega/Nintendo systems. Adding a PI and drilling holes for new buttons and what not is just way too much for me.
Your video involves hacking the 8220 model of Ms. Pac-Man arcade 1up. Will this hack work on the other Ms. Pac-Man arcade 1up model numbers (8266, 8267, etc.)?
Yes once we get to stage 3, we plan to have this work on all usb port enabled a1ups
Very interested in this concept. Would love to know more
Update please
This is awesome! I would love to add a few more CPS2 games to my MSH cab.
update please
I have street fighter partycade it has USB A port on the control deck hopefully that will work . Retro arch would be cool and also maybe be able to add roms to the stock OS would be cool as well . Keep up the good work .
Very interested; thanks for the update . Would nice to not do a pi3/4 every time for a mod.
this video gets me thinking.. i wonder if there's games in my capcom cabinet that they left out !
Was a soft mod ever completed for this? Currently trying to get Ms. Pacman on my Pacman box and trying to do what you were talking about.
Hi Restalgia, I am looking forward to your success hack. So I can add some games to my TMNT cabinet or Street fighter or others without have to put raspberry pi in it. That will be so cool. 14 in 1 sound good too. and RetroArch laugher will be even better. Looking forward to your next video. Yes I am Subscribe to you for couple of years now. Hope to Hear some thing soon on Turbograpfx mini updated hack soon too.
this is super interesting I hope to see an update as a retro arch launcher would save the hassle of the pi route. I have the same machine (minus dig dug on it) if this was to be released I’d want to swap out the control panel for games that require more buttons though.
Very cool! Have you gotten dumps from the Capcom or Midway legacy cabs yet? Would love to be able to swap out some of the 6 versions of street fighter the Capcom one comes with for something else :)
Just wondering if some of those games might require more buttons than are on the cabinet. This is very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah this is really cool... I actually have a modded PlayStation Classic that runs RetroArch on my final fight cabinet and it’s fantastic... I have every game I could ever want to play 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amazing. Go RESTALGIA
Finally a reason to buy a 1up cabinet :)
Has there been a 2nd video? I looked all over for it and didnt see it. I'm super interested in seeing one. I was able to see all of the roms on my Ms. Pac-Man machine that I cant play.
Hello! Please The second vídeo with retroarch soft mod. Please
So could you add games on NBA Jam &TNMT in theory? Keep up the good work.
Any updates?
This is badass, hope it’s the same for the 4 player cabs, who knows, maybe these guys who are way smarter than myself can figure out how to get the arcade version of Blitz on one of these...
Joust would be nice as double dribble added to the hack
Very cool indeed but...most people buy Arcade 1ups for the cabinet NOT to play tons of games.
At Games and iircade are MUCH better options for that imo. But I guess it’s always good to have (more) options😊
I just want to play Galaga on my stock ms pack man....and maybe dig dug because mine has galaxian.
Same here... Galaxian is a Piece of shit...
Very cool, great job!
Any update on this? Or do you guys need any help? Lmk
This would be great for the 12 in 1 cocktail table lineups
My wife wanted the Ms. Pacman arcade .. im so bored with it. I want to at least put Killer Instinct on it or Xmen so it won't be just collecting dust
It looks like the TMAK0002A V04 "might" be read flashed and editable using sunxi.... I'll give it a shot when I have spare time...
I'm still pissed off at you for keeping the PC Engine Mini hack to yourself. You've done it so it's clearly possible but to keep it a secret for over a year is awful.
LOL if I release it to the public then how will I maintain power over the internet?!? Joking obviously but no unfortunately all the devs working on it have been super busy. I have heard there may be some activity though
Would be very interesting to know what you had to do to get the 14 games in the folder to work. Its good to know thats its possible. Im going to play with it and see if what i can do with it. Thnx for the awareness.
So cool! So, Steve said the hack in this video and the 14-in-1 hack can't be released for legal reasons, but in stages 3&4 he could plan to release them. Did I hear that right? He's possibly going to release the hack later on...or he can't? I just want to unlock the 14 games in there already. I hope this ends up happening. I will grab the Ms.Pac soon if it's a go. Thanks. Keep up the great work.
So the next question is - can these guys figure out how to dump the firmware on the gen3 and up boards w/USB-mini port. If so, could be wide open. I'm not going to apply any official updates with my wifi cabs until the full potential is realized.
Those are straight up linux executables. Assuming compiled for ARM.
Did you simply replace the suaper pacman rom with a galaga.rom from another firmware while keeping the original superman filename?
Any updates on this? I'd really like to add Simpsons to my tmnt cab. Sunset Riders as well once we can add our own roms
I feel like we got ghosted on this topic...
No, the devs I was working with unfortunately had some things keeping them busy in their personal lives so we had to take a hiatus on this.
I am considering reaching out to another group of devs I've worked with in the past to help me get this back up and running.
@@Restalgia I understand that. Life happens. I hope all is well for them.
This is awesome!!! I have a tmnt pcb for the cause!! It would be so cool to have a few more games and keep it stock as well!! 🤓🤓🥳😍
Can I send you the pcb? I would really like to see the possibilities 🤓
This is awesome! I can’t wait for this hack
I have the 40th anniversary pac-man walmart edition. So does this mean I can add games like ms. pac-man and dig dug?
Is there anyway on Gallaga the no shoot trick it won’t work. I literally got it set it up a few days ago June 2023 and I did a lot of research see now the newer ones have been updated so doesn’t have the no shoot trick when you leave the left you on the side I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.
Hey Restalgia, I have some pcbs I'd be glad to donate. 1 Xmen vs Streetfighter, 1 Legacy Capcom, 1 Mrs Pac Man. I also have 2 Galaga and 1 Mrs Pac man countercade gen 2 pcbs as well if those are of any interest. All I'd be glad to donate to this project. All have the micro usb.
Send me an email to restalgia@gmail.com
You still working on this?
Got my 1st cab arriving tomorrow and ready thinking about modding it with Batocera, but for now I'm just looking forward to clocking defender as I did back in the 80s.
Shoot, I had a Centipede 4-in-1 Partycade get the White Screen of Death. At first I wanted to put a Pi 4 in it to run some Sega Model 3 games, but then I found out (from reading) that Sega Model 3 runs slow, even on the latest and greatest Pi.
The PCB still works even though the screen doesn't, and I'm toying with the idea of simply replacing the screen so I can play on that Partycade again---I own an AtGames Legends Ultimate cabinet that can play Centipede and Millipede and everything on that 4-in-1 and much much more, but I had more fun playing Centipede on the 4-in-1 than I did on that AtGames Legends Ultimate.
Still, I feel like I should ask: do you still need PCBs? And would a 4-in-1 Partycade's PCB be any use to you?
Wow!! Amazing!! Great job!
It’s been a few months now but mystery encoder soft mod outrun and big buck hunter ? With just usb ?Could you help please. Thank you for your time
Prices on the mrs pac man are low at Walmart. This hack would definitely be worth the purchase now!
I know, $246 right now. I'm tempted....
I may have a X-Men vs Street Fighter pcb for you I bought one for another project. Long story short...The dude is scamming me as the video output was DOA but I can hear the audio including controller selections. He is trying to say I am scamming him (or) damaged board myself (cant keep his story straight) and I am trying to swap boards which is a lie too. His claims are pretty ridiculous but to long to go on here. So I am trying to get a refund on escalated ticket. Waiting a few days for closure of case. If it pans out justly, I will send it to you. I imagine it would still be useful for what you are doing.
Yeah that would be awesome. Send me an email at restalgia@gmail.com
@@Restalgia will do.
Nice work 👍
Do you still need those boards I got a SF2 legacy cabinet and since I modded it with raspberry pi I doubt I'll have a use for the board. If you still need it lmk.
Where's the update, Restalgia????!!!!
The devs I was working with had to refocus on personal work so we have to ice this for a bit.
We did identify to add the hidden games into the main UI would be easiest done by writing a new menu all together which wasn't worth the effort.
I believe mystery encoder did get RA side loaded to the boards though
@@Restalgia Thanks for the reply. A whole new menu sounds like work. 👍
I want to be able to switch a game on my 1up Pac Man cabinet to moon Cresta. Would it be possible?
Any Update in getting the firmware open as this video is 1 year ago??
Good stuff guys!
imagine if someone does this to the Legacy Editions.
Imagine if someone does this to the pinball machines...
I have a Ms Pacman 5 in 1 pcb board with sd card slot and usb slot would love to add more games is there a video on how you set up games to board. If not willing to sell the board
I want to be able to swap original tmnt with original theme song on tmnt cab.
So how did you get Galaga to work? I would like to swap out pac mania also.. please can you tell us how to swap roms.. thank you
Restalgia I need a Big Buck pcb hack ASAP I have been waiting so long,also maybe something for outrun
