- In this video, we replace our joystick springs and gates with much better quality ones that will make our joysticks feel and work substancially better.
We also add some vinyl artwork on the bezel of our screen display. This artwork was designed by Brandon at BOLTZ DESIGNZ. Big shout out to you man, artwork looks great.
Graphics were printed and shipped by Arcade Graphix.
Also a big shoutout to DIYRETROARCADE for sending me out the octagonal gates with my last order.

Excellent clear explanation and demonstration of the steps needed - This is easily the best Arcade1up mod video I seen. It gives me much more confidence with being able to upgrade my own cabinet without messing things up. Great work on this one!
Great mod! Your turtorials are always awesome, I appreciate all the work you do keep up the amazing work.
Dude I love it! Seeing this now I kind of want one as well making some useful upgrades on the panel and controller. Thanks dude!

Wow!!...............

I did this to my mk arcade. The springs were easy to install but the octagonal gates were difficult for me personally. The gameplay in my opinion is much improved after these upgrades! It makes doing moves like Sub Zero's iceball a lot easier along with all the fatalities. Great addition. Thanks for sharing.
Mine don't seem to line up correctly. Do you have the same ones in the link?
@Mike Themann They worked perfectly after all. I tried using them on the Street Fighter II first, and they didn't fit. I, incorrectly assumed one size fits all.
Fantastic video. Clear, straightforward instructions.
Just installed the springs and gates. Night and day. Video made it easy. Thanks!!
Just did the gates and the springs, very cool enhancement to my Mortal Kombat Arcade1Up! Highly recommend it!
I done everything for my Mortal Kombat and it works great 👍🏾 Thanks again for the updates
This is a great vid! I will doing exactly these mods!!
So excited, husband has the 1944 1up on the way for my birthday gift! Can't wait, thanks for the video I might try to upgrade the springs and am loving the vinyl option!
It's a must upgrade guys ..... a huge huge difference for MK .. feels amazing now .. I was frustrated as hell before trying to pull off moves
Thank you for the video, just ordered the springs and octagonal restrictors 👍🏽
Thanks man. Great video. Already had the gates but the springs really make the difference
Thanks for this. Swapped out the stock springs for 3 lbs in my Sanwa clones using this video and it makes all the difference! I don't play many fighting games so the 3s are perfect stiffness.
Glad it was helpful man!
I followed your instructions. It was very easy. Took about 10 minutes to do. Game works awesome now
Good video! I'll definitely be doing that spring mod on my MK machine.
I almost pulled the trigger on one today while at Walmart waiting for my car. Good thing the box was ripped and retaped. I really want one of these.
awesome upgrade thanks man just did mine last night works great thanks again
These are actually great tips, mate! Thanks!
The first two upgrades I tackled right away. What a difference
Nice comprehensive easy video thx bud
Just finished the springs and gates and it works so much better now it's not even close THANK YOU!! To all of the nay sayers in the below comments, if you haven't even tried it please refrain from commenting IT WORKS! The people who sell the springs and gates should be giving you thanks and cutting you in on directing them sales.
just finished the sticker on the bezel. This did not go well at all. The cheap plastic got scratched up while trying to place the sticker bezel. The sticker did not go on well or fit well. Ended up with a ton of imperfections. i wish I never would have done this mod to begin with. This mod is not for Ogre hands like me.
I know I’m late to the game with this. My kid and I gave up on this machine because nothing was working. Then I saw this video. I ordered all the parts you recommended, switched them out in less than 30 minutes and now we can’t stop playing. Game play is now on par with the real cabinets. Worth every penny. Thank you!!!
Wait.. Nothing was working? This was an issue with the game you just couldn't do it?
Dave Winfrey The game worked fine. The controls worked fine. This mod, if you watched the video made it better. Made the joystick a bit tighter for all those moves and finishers. I’m sure the game is made with lesser parts to keep costs down.
Nice!!! Thank you!! Great video!!
Great info! I was having some difficulty pulling off the moves I remember from back-in-the-day and this all makes sense! Just ordered the parts, thanks!
Just got this for Xmas, saw this, bought all 3 things lol
Got the springs today and installed. Wow, def a must! Feels so much better. Gates and bezel vinyl come tomorrow, love this thing!!
me too,, love it
Where u order spring sold out for en
@@joeylikeminecraft Amazon, just searched "arcade 1up 4lb joystick spring"
@@joeylikeminecraft Paradise arcade shop
Great video man, I’ll definitely be doing this to mine
Awesome Video and Upgrades.
This is a nice upgrade if you grew up playing Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter in American arcades. For those who've been playing fighting games in recent years using modern console joysticks, you're actually going to be more used to the stock joystick and just swapping the grip to a ball top. It's also a matter of whether you want precision (stiff springs, octagonal gate) or response time (loose springs, square gate).
Thanks for the detailed instructions. I did the gates and springs mod. on my MK cabinet joysticks and it functions flawlessly! One thing to note is, the gates will not fit on the stock joysticks on my Street Fighter cabinet. However, I was able to use the 4Ib springs without the gates . Is that OK?I didn’t notice any difference...Cheers!
Excellent vid! So far the Sega Golden Axe cabinet is my favorite Arcade1up.
GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!! . I bought an MK 1up, and i ordered the stuff from your links. Beware guys the springs and gates may be sold out but i found them on EBAY and Restalgia is right. Everything checks out,, all my stuff is here.. I recommend this video and method .. 100% CONFIRMED WORKING.. I bought the 4lb springs, the gates, and the bezel.. Worth every penny. Thanks man for your hard work and great video. I know how hard it is to make a good video. .. one last thing,, if the 4lb springs are too stiff for you they do make a 2lb spring too you can order... the MK 1up cabs come with a 1lb spring by default, 4lb'ers for me though,, hope that helps any other modders following this guide.
Hell yeah man, I'm obsessed with this thing lol got the 4lb springs and gates in, love it, I could almost go 5-6 lb springs, I'm pretty heavy handed. Just waiting for the bezel art. I have no content here but check out Instagram, same name as here, been posting pics of what I've done.
@@daveofthedead1361 crap,, i dont have the gram.. too many social networks to join them all,, heheheh,,, sounds kickass man,, these things are great,, i want to buy them all... my basement will be an arcade one day
@@daveofthedead1361 and i want to go lit marquee to at some point,, o yeah
I just got my first machine and can’t thank you enough for this easy fix. I’m going to be depending on you a lot in the future.lol
Great Video Thank you
Its class ... But when you're applying vinyl always use soapy water in a spray bottle . Spray it directly onto the contact surface and squiggy to apply the vinyl. You won't get any bubbles or streaks .
Awesome video Bro!
The 4 pound springs are an improvement, but the joysticks are still loose compared to an arcade cab. The octagonal gates are a game changer though.
The screen overlay is a great idea. I just installed it but I'm a bit disappointed. I don't understand why they couldn't match the measurements of the 1up plexiglass LCD cover. It makes sense that the center area needs to be cut out to make the decal easier to produce. However, when trimming the white Boltz Designz area out it doesn't line up with the transparent part of the plexiglass. The decal overhangs on to the transparent area of the plexi. The decal can be further trimmed but not enough to match up correctly and not without cutting into the actual moves list of the decal. Along with the excessive amount of decal overhang around the outer bezel it just seems like the product could have been measured out a lot better. You'll have to eyeball it the best you can and know that the decal will be covering more of the LCD than before, 8mm overlap in my case. Also, I used a little bit of soapy water from a spray bottle on the plexi as I put on the decal to help give some correction movement as I squeegee it on.
My two cents.
Thanks for the video. I'm loving the 4lb springs and 8 point control gates.
What would be really awesome for these cabinets would be a scanline filter or a way to use a CRT monitor for the true arcade feel.
I love the mortal kombat arcade 1up machine and street Fighter arcade 1up machine as well bring back my childhood
Nice work pro 👏👏👍👍
Title: upgrade Arcade1up cabinet for $10.
Video starts "ok so this is gonna run you about $45".
Yeah, to be fair I did mention that the bezel brings the price up and it's not really a mod, just something cool and not necessary. Lol
@@Restalgia I noticed on focusattack.com they have 2 lb and 4 lb springs as well as octagon gates, will their gates work too? Figure easier to get all my parts from one store.
Update: ordered 2 lb springs. Not replacing gates. Octagon gates make sense on a machine like Street Fighter 2 since alot of the moves require quarter circles and half circles. Mortal Kombat however is all directional taps like back/back or down/forward and work best with a square gate for less throw in the main 4 directions.
@@randomgamer-st1ie yep, absolutely. I believe both places have the exact same gates. And in terms of springs, it's a personal preference. I like my joysticks very stiff, but if you want something a bit lighter, 2lb is a good choice too.
@@Restalgia clickbait, you piece of greasy garbage.
@@Rob8 Don't be a dirtbag.
great video. thanks
When I had a real MKII cabinet, I swapped out the control stick springs with "Pro Springs" Unfortunalty I don't recall the specs of the spring. It was definitely heavier than stock springs. How do you think these upgraded 4.lbs springs compare to the stock MK Midway arcade stick springs. Would you say they seem equal in this smaller size or lighter?
just installed that exact same bezel today using the soapy water method probably the best bezel on the market for mk
Thanks for sharing this tutorial. I think my favorite, so far, is the Atari 12 in 1. I installed the Glen's Retro show spinner, and am awaiting the GRS trackball to become available on Amazon. :)
so far my favorite is the final fight cabinet. I have a review video coming out in the next few days
Cool. I look forward to it. :)
Thanks for making this video.After making the gate/spring adjustments, my Mortal Kombat cab plays way better!
looks like a fun upgrade to do.
good to know for the joy stick springs
I just ordered the Anniversary cabinet...has 1up improved the springs since this video was made?
Also, can I just change the springs, or must you change the gate as well?
Thank you
Do I need an exactoknife or could I use something else to replace the springs
Will the bezel fit on the mortal kombat ii legacy cabinet?
Thanks for the tip! I just ordered both gates and springs.
My bezel should be arriving today!
Happy camper. Can't wait to feel the difference in controls.
Jon Woke how do you like the mods
Awesome video :)
Thank you sir for the amazing audio
Hi Steve. Do these Octoginal gates only For Mortal Kombat or will they work with other Arcade 1up? Thanks
I just recently got the countercade version of the Mortal Kombat cabinet a couple weeks ago and wondering if I should try this 🤔
Would you recommend this for the MK2 counter cade?
This is awesome!! What other mods for this exact machine? Any lights or speakers?
I was about these things for a while, i decided to get a recroommasters cab, should be here next month. Much more solid build quality and really good controls. Custom art etc... i wanted the TMNT arcade1up but once it sold out, it never came back lol. It's for the best, i hear these are pretty flimsy for adults over time. They look baller but a lil too small and cheap imo.
I only own one Arcade1up cabinet: Star Wars. I haven't modded it yet, but I'll be adding a sub-woofer to it for sure.
Bought octagon Gates for street fighter 2 machine and they didn’t work . Any thoughts why not
Pro video, nice job.
nice.......keep up these budget mod videos.
Why did you need to remove the joystick acrylic cover and joystick knobs to replace the springs and gates?
wow! great! the only mods ive done are light up marquee's from This Ability. (on 2 partycades and 1 barcade) i might do this one for my mortal kombat legacy, xmen vs sf and sf 2 legacy.
Why you’re not at 100k is beyond me. Great video.
will this work on my JOUST legacy cabinet with MK 1, 2, 3, 3 ultimate?
Will these same parts also work for the Street Fighter machine?
That's what I'm wondering. I have trouble using Ken or Ryu with the r way gates.
Nice vid, I’ve ordered the bezel, once I remove the screws does the screen cover come straight off or is it also glued?
It will come right off. The bezel is not glued in
Hey awesome upgrade but has 2 issues, the gate does not fit in my SF2 cab and when I put my Final Fight cab back together no more sound!
This will be good for the Marvel fighting game coming out also. Very nice video, I gave it a like.
Would it be necessary for the Marvel special edition model?
Temo Esparza yea I am gonna do the 4lb spring I have the special edition model controls are good feel like the stick course use some tightening
Nice
bezel doesnt have the UMK3 combos? I'm out
The bezel has moves for all 3 games
Thank you for this! Gonna hold off on the vinyl for now but I just ordered the springs and gates for MK. Definitely will solve the Pac-Man joystick issues I've been having as well. It was fine when I got it but after playing it so much, it started to get a little unresponsive.
UPDATE: Did the modifications with the springs and the gates (links in your description) and I gotta say. It makes all the difference!!! Added the spring in the Pac-Man machine and it makes everything so much more responsive now. I am quite pleased! :-)
Did you use 4lb springs?
Yes I did. 😊
I have the head to head one. Will this work for my cabinet
just ordered both gates and springs
Is it possible to get one without the Arcade 1up logo?
Very strongly considering doing this but was hoping you or someone could confirm that these joystick upgrades with these exact parts is compatible with the MK 12in1 model? Thanks!
Just got and installed both the octagonal gate and springs in my Midway Classics MK 12-in-1. Controls are much improved, more consistent, and fluid. I can now defeat MK2 and UMK3! Thank you!
Definitely the springs is awesome! Not sure about the fatality list around the bezel. :0)
Would you recommend doing this for all your cabinets? Like this is a fighting fast paced game vs pac man/dig dug etc.....
I also seen your other video where you recommend replacing the whole button/stick package.
I would probably say yes on the springs across all cabinets but not the restrictor gates.
In my case Steve, the screw for the nba jam UR side fpr console would not go into the cabinet to secure the deck. It is like.it is too long even tho the other 3 fit perfectly. I guess I could.try and drill.it.out I just dont want to damage the cab. Maybe just cut the bolt down a bit and let it sit in there for asthetics?
Yeah thats super strange. Have you verified that the screw isn't a bit longer then the others? Does the screw jist keep spinning but not tighten? Or does it stop rotating and just stick out?
Can you upgrade the basketball players in the up1 Arcade Machine?
Hi, can I send you some bat tops for your SF2 and Final Fight cabinets to review? If you have more cabinets, I can send you more. Thanks!
Hey man, send me an email or reach me on facebook and we can chat.
@@Restalgia I will email you soon regarding A1up accessories, thanks!
Do these allow for just pulling down on the stick and releasing to do a teleport for characters like Raiden and Kung Lao? I always liked doing it that way. Can’t do it with current 1up controller.
I just tested that out and yes, if you give it a quick flick, it does work.
Restalgia sweet man! I need to order some upgrades now!
Were did you get that sticker for your arcade please??
What I want to know is if this Mortal Kombat edition by Arcade 1up the arcade port or the home console games version? Or at least slightly better than the home ports but not as good as the arcade?
This MK is the arcade version of the game
Let me know when they come out with a Crime Fighters 1up. I like the green guy.
What would be better:
Crime Fighters, Crime Fighters 2/Vendetta and Sunset Riders in one.
Weres the link on how to install it? I got one finally
I have done the springs on everything. I don’t have a mortal kombat yet but I have gates and springs just Incase. I got the parts from amazon.
Does the legacy need this too?
Good video, I ordered extra for my street fighter cabinet the springs worked but the plastic piece didn't fit.
You find any that fit street fighter yet?
For the first minute I'm thinking "Where do I know that music from?" Took my headphones off and got further in my head to the sort of beat drop part. Then I felt really stupid.
I just received my Bezel today and the area that you cut out for screen is too small to fit the whole screen and if i cut anymore i would be cutting into the move set and images for the characters. Is this a problem for anyone else or did I receive a misprint?
Nope its not 100 percent the correct size cut out. Just center as best as possible. The overlay does not effect gameplay in anyway.
@@Restalgia Alright, thank you!
I made this mod and every time I go in a full circle it makes a loud popping sound like it is having trouble going around. I'm using stock joysticks with the recommended octagonal gates shown in this video and 4lb springs from focus attack as recommended. I'm confused. Please help. Thanks in advance.
Thats very strange. Perhaps the gate is not seated 100 percent level. Im also assuming you reseated the spring cap properly
Restalgia , that may be the issue but I've also read it's better to go with circle restrictor plates than the octagonal. Thoughts? and thanks for the quick response.
Restalgia and yes the spring cap was reseated properly.
my streetfighter and pacman arcade didnt come witht he clear top coevr what do i do?
I just got mine from Arcade Accessories. You can find him on Facebook
Sanwa buttons and joysticks are the best.
Some people online say 4 pound springs need so much pressure they are nearly tipping their cabinets off their risers!! I might go 2 pound instead.... Any thoughts??
I've never heard or experience that. I think 4lb springs are perfect personally, but its all about personal preference
The factory spring on my 2P side is already worn out after about a week of regular use. I have 3 and 4 lb springs & new gates on the way. I hope they last longer. =P
Can this mod be used for the marvel vs capcom arcade1up cabinet?
Yes it can.
This isn't my Marvel cab but there are.videos of it. My Galaga video shows you the style upgrades that can be done to all these units.
But it also has the links in the comments to everything you would want to order.
I also have a more... Comfortable Joystick mod video coming out...
On my MK machine when using the player 1 joystick the down function only works about 30% of the time I use it. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this? It is the stock machine and parts.
Do you always hear a click and it's not responding, or do you not even the click?
@@hlg0313 sounds like the connector cables that are running to the joystick are loose. Disassemble and have a look and see if you can see any cables that are loosely connected. Reconnect and test, let me know
Restalgia I have the same issue when trying to jump or flip. It clicks when I press it just no response or lagging response
The new Costco Cabinets have upgraded springs ??
