Just wanted to pop in here to say i followed your guide step by step for modding my cabinet and you made things SO easy. I have zero experience with any of this and managed to nail it by rewatching this video about 100 times lol 🙌 Lil tip for anyone doing this mod with a midway legacy - you can order a new control panel with the additional button holes pre drilled for like 65 bucks. Made this project super smooth...thanks a ton DadGamer!
Hey man i know u made this a year ago. but you probably know this video has helped at least 100s so I think it's cool you took time to put this together to help other nerds and geeks like us lol. Seriously this is a real comment from a real person. Thanks for being real etc lol
Thanks DadGamers TV. I watched a few videos on modding, including ETA Prime's, but your video gave me unique information that suits my needs. I got an old Super Console X several years ago but didn't play much (the ps3 controllers suck), so I wanted to put it in an Arcade1up. Your video fits my situation, as the Arcade Box is similar (both use Emulec). I also didn't understand why we need to splice stock speakers and get an expensive AMP for sound anyways; your suggestion of using old computer speakers is great (I got one for 7 bucks from GoodWill). Finally, your tips on controller/display settings and hot keys for sound control are very helpful. I have a fully functional Street Fighter Arcade1up mod now with Super Console X, very happy. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Ive been wanting to make one of these. I told my wife that if I thought about making one that means that someone else thought about it too. Unfortunately the gaming hardware no longer exist in Amazon but I have a small pc that I will install Batocera and add the 5000+ games that I have on a hard drive. Again... Thanks for the video!!
Thank you for great video, it gave me enough info to do this myself. I found out that if you buy the cheap amp seen in other mods, you can use the stock speakers when they are connected from the HDMI board to the amp. Hope this helps someone in the future as well.
hi, is it possible to use the sanwa joysticks with the led distributor board? Or does it only work with the joysticks that comes with the LED buttons? I want to use these led buttons with my sanwa joysticks. Is that possible? Thanks
@@gaboaaa23 i have no clue, to be honest. This is a just a simplified version of how to do it because im an intermediate tinkerer. Im not that knowledgeable about this kind of stuff
A couple forgotten details! I know, i suck. 1.THE HDMI CONVERTER USES SAME POWER SUPPLY THAT THE CAB COMES WITH. 2.YOU WILL NEED TO BORE OUT THE STOCK POWER AND VOLUME HOLES TO FIT NEW BUTTONS FOR “SELECT”.

Hey I have tried everything and believe it’s all correct but still can’t see anything the screen lights up black but that’s all I can see I can hear other games playing and that’s it. Any shit you can help?
@@dadgamertv84 I can double check is there any way I’m able to contact you if possible or is this the best bet. Haha we can double check we just have some lights atm. On the screen
@@dadgamertv84 thanks for letting me know. I just looked on their website and found it. But its only time crisis one. They should have added one and two because two was the best. One was ok. Number 3 they started to lose their roots and when four came out they lost it all. Sad to see time crisis go. Time crisis should have went to pc where you can buy exclusive guns and foot pedals like how logitech sells flight controllers and steering wheels. I loved taking a $20 bill to the arcade and spending it all on time crisis. The guns were awesome well at least the ones with the guns going back and forth making you feel like the gun was shooting. Some arcades had the guns that didn’t move i stayed away from those places. Nice upload thanks for sharing your experience
AWESOME TUTORIAL! You just gained a new subscriber! I'd like to ask you something though, do you think I'd be able to keep using the original buttons and joysticks, so that I can save on those? Or are those new buttons and joysticks necessary for the mod to work? Thank you for taking the time
Sou técnico de flipper/games ha mais de 40 anos, atualmente tenho em casa uma Pandora, de verdade ela é ótima, sempre tive dezenas de máquinas quando surgiram os Neo Geo com mais jogos foi um alivio
I was gonna give this an attempt, blight the supplies but remembered I don't have common sense. All the parts has been sitting in my cabinet collecting dust for 3 years now 😢 not wanting to drill holes and risk looking ugly, wish they had a paper layout...
Looks like they weren’t crimped properly and the heatsink was not applied properly. When it comes to stuff like this be ready to put in work that the factory didn’t. Car speakers get stuck also a little but once you unplug it like 3 times it should be easier to pull out. Looks exactly almost like the connectors for car speakers
Thanks for the awesome, simple to understand video. I do have a quick question though, at the end of your video when you're showing some of the games, i.e. Mortal Kombat, will there always be black side bars for certain games? I saw in a different video where you can go into settings and set the video output to 16:9, is this an option that's available on your system? Can't wait to start playing some old school games!
Thanks! I put the box in there upside down so its fan can breathe. Alot of people putting it in regular have had overheating issues and system failures. I keep it on constantly, no issues.
It's kinda unfortunate that you're stuck with the button layout of Mortal Kombat/NFL Blitz instead of a more traditional 6-button fighting game layout, but the overall project is still very cool. The Arcade1up machines are so limited and being able to play anything on your expensive cabinet is an upgrade for sure.
What did u do for speakers and my volume doesn't go up much and sound sucks.when I can max it out and new board can't attach the volume up and power one on my arcade 😢
Working fine. Its more if a decoration piece these days, i change the game every couple days. I leave it on. Alot of guys were mounting the box with the fan up against the wall which was making it shit the bed. I have mine with the fan facing out.
I hope you see this (since you made this a year ago), but changing buttons is a personal preference, correct? I have NFL Blitz and I'm interested in modding it. Thanks
Good video 🫶. I have two questions. The first is that the whole thing works without replacing the original buttons. The second question is does the coin slot still work after the mod? I would like to set up a machine with lots of games, but the coin slot has to work.
Yo dude! I just got done following along with your video on my MK3 cab and it’s looking really great. Thanks you 👍 one question, I went through the process of mapping the controls like you showed but then when I jump into games the system seems to default to different controls for different systems/games and it loses the mapping I just put in? . Any idea how I could make this work consistently in the settings perhaps?
I just bought the same cabinet with the intention to modify it the same way as in this video ! Just ordered in fact the hdmi converter from aliexpress ( will take a month it says to be delivered ... ugh.. ). Thank you so much for the instructions ! The only issue that bothered me with this particular cab is that its kinda short for me ( I'm 6.2 ), so I ended up buying four metallic legs 10cm in height to raise it up a bit. One question - wouldn't it be possible to use the speakers the cabinet comes with ? They seem to have a standard speaker jack, I think so anyway.
Yes, you can use the original speakers.the pcb has a 3.5 mm jack in it as well, it has 2 of them just make sure you plug it in the right one. Theyre just not as loud.
I switched it out for the Super Console X, but just like any 30,000 to 60,000 game emulator you’re gonna get 20 different versions of the same game. Its just fun to scroll through once in a while and see whats there and play for 10 minutes.
Do you have to turn on the Arcade Box from inside the cabinet or how does that work? Simple method though I like this a lot. I was thinking of getting a PC to run Botocera on one of these but may do this instead. I want it to be as seamless as possible, as if it were intended to come that way.
After i made the video i ended up drilling a hole in the back cover of the cabinet , right where the power button is on the Arcade Box. Since i mounted the arcade box on the rear support panel, it made it easier to do so. That way i dont have to keep taking the back panel off.
@@dadgamertv84 That’s a good idea. I’m doing a build with a PC instead of the Arcade Box. I bought a remote power button for it, and I’m going to drill a hole in the back as well. I liked the PC option as it seems more versatile and also it was cheaper lol.
I bought this arcade box because I watched your video. When I plugged it in the screen is white. I hooked the arcade box to the tv, so I know it works. When I connect it to arcade cabinet. The screen stays white
I see a few of these done to the Mortal Kombat 2 machine. Can this be done to others ? What does it depend on ? NFL Blitz? Im in the market but I'm a Blitz fan . Any help is appreciated.
Great Video i'm about to get the street fighter 35 anniversary. The only videos I have seen done have been on the Mk2 machine...will this work on any machine? Thanks
Thanks. Different machines have different connections so just make sure you have the right HDMI converter. Once you get a converter, you throw anything thats hdmi in there.
Steam deck i don’t know but since you’re converting it to HDMI, you can probably hook up whatever you want thats controlled by USB. Ps4, old xbox, etc.
Do you need the MKII Cabinet to do this, or can you do it with any cabinet? Also, could you make a video going through some of the games? Specifically , the MAME games. Thanks!
Sorry, i just saw this. You can do it with any cabinet as long as you get an HDMI converter that is compatible with its screen. I will make a video of the games when i get a chance to

I saw arcade box on your link but it says on Amazon it's not available no more. Is there another arcade box on Amazon you recomend? Any words of encouragement?
That seems like quite a bit of money to spend on an arcade cabinet and screen, since you appear to be bypassing the A1u content entirely. Clearly, a lot of people like the idea, though, so more power to you all. Enjoy.
Love this video bro As a fellow dad, i have a question? I built a bartop using same joystick kit except I used the super console pro cube instead of the arcade box. Worked pretty good except it took real long for screen to pass the Emulec boot up screen. And it kept switching the joystick from player one to player two after some boot ups. Did the same thing happen to you using the the arcade box? I want to build another bartop using the arcade box if it works better and more consistent. Thanks bro. Salud 🍻
Yup same thing happened to me, then i double checked the wiring. Have to make sure they are wired into the same exact spots as each other. Use the diagram if it came with one. After i double checked the wires, it was fine.
I have a question the light on the motherboard is green and the screen lights up white for about 10 seconds then the light switches to red any reason why?
one issue the arcade boy has a tendency to flip controls on the USB controller for sticks and stuff. Everything works decent just that part is a bit annoying.
I did all the same stuff in my Simpsons cabinet, but I can't stand how it does not use the full screen properly. These arcade boxes are made to work great on a 16:9 tv. I saw that your basketball had the black bars on the sides. I was able to configure game by game to solve this if you set that basketball game to 16:9 instead of "auto" with bezels removed as you have it, it will fill the screen and look great. However, I can't find a way to do it "across the board" to have video output as a 4:3 display so it fills the screen properly - the same 16:9 setting in game like galaga stretches the screen horribly. Did you ever find a way past this?
I see where you said you made a hole for new on off button button when changing old off on button did you just change configuration or was it a port in the back that had to be plugged in to new button motherboard
thanks for this beautiful video, i have followed the steps and am all good, but i also have encountered some issues, i have the latest arcade1up the yoga flame one, 2 features stopped working which is the cabinet lighting and the internal speaker that comes in it, i had to buy a new speaker, if you ever going to make a new video to mod ur speakers it would be lovely instead of buying external ones, am in for another challenge as well. as for mine i have added three more button and i used a drill to make the holes more wider a bit to fit "in" the button instead of them popping out just like urs for the additional ones, and you got a subscribe

@Zyronox yes
That seems like quite a bit of money to spend on an arcade cabinet and screen, since you appear to be bypassing the A1u content entirely.
Clearly, a lot of people like the idea, though, so more power to you all. Enjoy.
I have the gen 1 street fighter cabinet so how would I connect the original speaker to the converter?
how are you powering on the machine?
@@michaelroth6975 i bored a hole in the back where the power button is ua-cam.com/video/2WbSZagPBWs/v-deo.htmlsi=9J2C2AwsDPnq4S7n
New subscriber! Sick bro
Thanks brother
How much does it cost overall in canadian dollars to do this, thanks?
For the cab and everything it was around $500 USD. So convert that
Love this video bro As a fellow dad, i have a question? I built a bartop using same joystick kit except I used the super console pro cube instead of the arcade box. Worked pretty good except it took real long for screen to pass the Emulec boot up screen. And it kept switching the joystick from player one to player two after some boot ups. Did the same thing happen to you using the the arcade box? I want to build another bartop using the arcade box if it works better and more consistent. Thanks bro. Salud 🍻
Yup same thing happened to me, then i double checked the wiring. Have to make sure they are wired into the same exact spots as each other. Use the diagram if it came with one. After i double checked the wires, it was fine.
Would this work with the Killer Instinct cabinet that has 6 buttons for the characters?
The button kits come with 10 buttons for each color. So i dont see why not
I have a question the light on the motherboard is green and the screen lights up white for about 10 seconds then the light switches to red any reason why?
Might just be loose. Make sure the board is really secure (without cracking it of course) . I had the same issue
Thank you!
one issue the arcade boy has a tendency to flip controls on the USB controller for sticks and stuff. Everything works decent just that part is a bit annoying.
Make sure they are wired the same exact way, in the same exact port on both sides
@@dadgamertv84 AHHH okay yeah that makes since I had my son wire up one side while i wired the other.. thanks Ill try that.
@@Visionist3000 thats dope 👍🏽
Question does this have dragins lair, space and dragon's lair II
Yes
I Wanna change my buttons for the LED ones so Bad Lol, I don't think i could do this though id be too scared to mess up the button layout or something
do you have to add the new buttons or is that optional?
Optional
This particular way of modding, using a super console, you have to change the buttons.
Do have to change the buttons?
Not if you find an HDMI converter thats compatible with the original control deck
Would this method work for any arcade or 1up only
1up only, you can take out the micro SD card and add games if you know how. But i dont.
I did all the same stuff in my Simpsons cabinet, but I can't stand how it does not use the full screen properly. These arcade boxes are made to work great on a 16:9 tv. I saw that your basketball had the black bars on the sides. I was able to configure game by game to solve this if you set that basketball game to 16:9 instead of "auto" with bezels removed as you have it, it will fill the screen and look great. However, I can't find a way to do it "across the board" to have video output as a 4:3 display so it fills the screen properly - the same 16:9 setting in game like galaga stretches the screen horribly. Did you ever find a way past this?
Yeah i put it on 4/3 under system settings and it stayed for all games
Looks great , Do the ZX Spectrum games work with the Joystick ?
I enjoy your crass-ness more than the content. Beautiful commentary lol
I see where you said you made a hole for new on off button button when changing old off on button did you just change configuration or was it a port in the back that had to be plugged in to new button motherboard
Yes, the motherboard comes with a diagram. Make sure select is plugged into select. Also, map it in the menu.
Well done, thanks for making this tutorial 🙂👍
No problem 👍
Looks good brother. I have 2 partycade. I want to do that to one of them.
Nice upgrade
Thank you
Can you keep the same buttons? Or does it need to also be switched?
If you find an HDMI converter thats compatible with the original connection
thanks for this beautiful video, i have followed the steps and am all good, but i also have encountered some issues, i have the latest arcade1up the yoga flame one, 2 features stopped working which is the cabinet lighting and the internal speaker that comes in it, i had to buy a new speaker, if you ever going to make a new video to mod ur speakers it would be lovely instead of buying external ones, am in for another challenge as well. as for mine i have added three more button and i used a drill to make the holes more wider a bit to fit "in" the button instead of them popping out just like urs for the additional ones, and you got a subscribe
So basically you can connect any arcade fight sticks to that arcade box and play ?
Pretty much
