100 percent correct! Thanks for watching. I appreciate the insight too. I'm always learning. Yes it's a glorified coin chute at this point but my cab already came with it. I don't know how to tech out if there are any ground loop issues but since it was connected both to the USB of the PC (5v) and a separate 12v power supply plugged into the same power strip. I can only gather that those two grounds aren't bonded even though they should be. I just now thought of trying to power it via the same ATX power supply that is supplying the PC. I'd like to think that those two grounds are bonded. A lot of people reported them working sporadically and causing weird behavior with their USB keyboard encoders. I imagine caused by mixed voltages sharing the same ground that isn't bonded with the USB PC ground. Adding the switch was the cheapest quickest fix. It's way overthinking at this point but it's more about the learning and exploring for me and these principals do transfer to other applications.

Thanks for watching! Yeah it would be nice but then it's another thing to always be messing with instead of playing haha. I wish there was a way I could share built profiles but everyone's setup is so different and it wouldn't really help them

thank you so much I'm glad to hear that! It That means a lot to me! TH-cam is hard. And yes I'm working on a part two right now!

@@TheLivingArcade awesome! I saw that it seemed like it has been a while since you made a video, so I am glad to see another is coming! Your videos are keeping me sane while my chewlix is being built! lol.

@@matthewschmidt1359 Yeah it has been a while. Life got really rough for me these last few months. Hopefully can get back into that groove. I do stream every monday night 8pm on twitch too you might like to check that out sometime.

you can if you mod it with a windows PC. Similar to the raspberry pi mods out there. You don't need anything super powerful. I'm running a used dell optiplex with a gt1030 super low spec GPU. These can be found within the $150 range used everywhere. Look up what HDMI driver board you would need for your a1up to connect it to the internal monitor and you would need an amplifier for the speakers

@@TheLivingArcade thank you, would a mac book be as capable as a dell?

I have not used a macbook in that manner. I do know that launchbox, which I heavily rely on, for many of the features I pointed out in this video does not work on mac. But there are other alternative front ends available. If you already own one, give it a shot! The main principle is using software that has shortcuts that do things and mapping those shortcuts conveniently to the streamdeck buttons. Be aware that mac security at times, doesn't play well with other software and hardware triggering key presses and running applications. Needing permissions ETC. Hold off on purchasing a streamdeck and just try getting a front end running on that macbook and playing games. then go from there

@@TheLivingArcade thank you

You are correct. It was my mistake that was pointed out after I posted this. It was so long ago I put the kowol oversized in the reference JLF that I totally forgot it was in there and referred to it as the original factory in this video. You can see I pinned the comment. I like the newer red oversized actuator from the new "mod kit" performance wise but I hate the feel. The new white actuator from the factory JLX is amazing. I believe it's delrin but I can't confirm. Whatever it is, it glides in the gate. It feels more solid. Would be heaven if someone made an oversized in that material.

Thank you so much! Means the world to me! Love your channel! I learned a lot from you! I wouldn't have known about Doras if it wasn't for you too! Keep doing what you do!

thank you so much! It means a lot to me! It's so difficult to punch through on youtube

Yes! I love that game! I wanted it on the list but the controls didn't work well on a arcade layout unfortunately.

Thank you for that feedback. Its very interesting. I've had more people say they like intros then not. Plus I totally didn't look at it like the video game intros and how much we love those when the game loads. I'm really glad I asked
