Havent had the chance to install my mod kit yet but just wanted to chime in that Showtime shipped super quick and at least pre-sales support has been excellent. Looking forward to trying this out soon.
this was an awesome tutorial. is there a way to ONLY have certain genres of games? for instance, i am looking for 1 cabinet to ONLY be fighting games. 1 cabinet to ONLY be beat-em-ups, etc. & wont play most of the console games (if ever)
@@ThePsychoticCircusofSavannah yes. It’s pretty simple. You can easily create a folder in the settings. Choose beat em ups to be in a specific folder. It’ll automatically create the folder with all of them. Hide the rest of the folders and you’ll never see them again. 👍
Quick question, I ordered a Street Fighter deluxe cabinet from arcade 1. I know the joystick panel is a lot smaller and the panel in the front protrudes out now. Have you guys done one with this option before? Concerned with the new button install. Also, Is it still considered a gen 2 when I order the kit? Thank you guys.
Absolutely fantastic, got it put and put it together..was a breeze save for my screws adding an extra 30 min to come off and not strip. Worth the price to not get batocera virus drives lmao!Thanks again showtime guy! question though. I know how to turn it off via the menu but how do you turn it on? By way of the power strip? hoping not to fry it.. thanks.
Happy to hear it was a breeze. To turn it off safely, press the select button from the main screen and choose “shut down.” You still need to flip the power switch off of the strip. To turn back on you simply turn the switch on the strip.

Thanks for all that wonderful instructions you gave us all can I upgrade to raspberry pi from 4b and put in sd card as well and What size micro sd cards can you put in that card was a 128gb and what kind is good to do so
I have a Xmen 4 player Arcade 1up that I mainly want to play Alien Versus Predator (Capcom) on. Can I do this with that machine?

@@grgmj1980 we currently sell 3 different sizes depending on your arcade. However, the deluxe does not have that panel due to the design being different.

@@astrovewlix that’s so far from the truth. Nothing against the soft mod, but soft mod is far less powerful and capable. This cab can’t be soft modded anyways as some a1ups are not android and even then not all have a software for.
Moddin these units require alot of thought cause u r completely replacing d arcade1up engine & transmission which is very easy to swap out but very costly. Anyone who has the money n knowledge to do this might as well go the extra mile. It wont cost much again to rebuild a bigger shell to fit 2 players comfortably with a better monitor n do own custom graphics. D biggest cost was d engine n tranny swap.
The biggest problem, as to why people choose the arcade1up machines, is because of space and weight. You just can't beat an arcade1up if space and weight are a factor. Most people just are not going to deal with that. This is why arcade1up is so popular👍💯
