Yeah. Its kind of cool how Disney did it. Fix it Felix Jr is a totally made up game by Disney for the movie Wreck it Ralph. They took old Nintendo cabs and put their game in there via computer. Then they put them out in public as promotion for the movie. They even cosmetically altered the cabs to look like they were from 1982. Beat up and wore out looking. I think its one of the coolest promotional tools ever created. Although, since I'm an arcade head, I'm biased. LOL.
Not sure as to why your so bent on thinking this is a DK cabinet, It's not plain and simple, just from your videos the hardware is wrong, and the structure inside the cabinet is wrong, not to mention all Control Panels were plywood. They used Ultimarc Jpacs & looks like they did a large order for old Nintendo cab reproduction parts from Mikes arcade. The extra hole in the control panel was for Nintendo's game Sky Skipper only released in Japan.
The only known version of the actual promo arcade game is in these cabs that were made by Disney. There is a knock off version on Disney's website, but the version everyone wants is within these 50 or so fictional arcade cabs Disney built for promotion. Ever since these cabs came into public, people have been trying to get the game for their own replica machines. I'm one of them. Been wanting this game since the movie came out.
There was a write up from one of the guys who worked on these machines, apparently they made a few (less than 10) from real DK cabs, then decided to make 50 more that were reproduction cabs. This is probably a repo cab. Also there are two variations of real Nity cabs... the ones made in Japan used 1/2" plywood but the ones made in the USA used 3/4" particle board. They are slightly dimensionally different too, particularly around the kick panel and speaker panel.
Thanks for the video. Mostly just: thanks for the verification that there *wasn't* actually a Fix It Felix Jr. in actual 1982 that I just somehow never noticed. The movie is great. The game is probably fun. The cabinet looks spiffy. But I'm not a big fan of Disney casually rewriting history just because they can.
Everyone keeps saying ROM DUMP- there is no ROM, its just a windows game. I'm sure someone will eventually leak a copy and it will be available some day down the road. Who knows what kind of security they have tied to it. Theres so few of these disney could have encoded different unique values on each build to know exactly who leaks it out and can easily bust them. Im curious if the paperwork taped to the back has any legal disclaimers about copying it.
I WORK in the arcade industry, (have done for the over 10 years). This is a PC in a cab. Depends if the software has been encrpyted to the PC that it's running on. Could be either way, Disney may or may not have done this. What needs to be done is a full HDD dump of the computer, and post the dump file online somewhere, from that someone will be able to work the necessary magic. I am happy to do this if someone can get me the image file of the HDD. There are plenty of free programs to do this.
Hey buddy i got here by listening to your podcast which is awesome by the way. I can't wait until this gets dumped to the net what a fun game it looks!
I'm not sure if you mention it in your other videos, but how did you obtain this cab? Did you but it in an auction? Also, I don't know how tough dumping ROMS is, but is it even possible to dump a ROM version of the game that's in that cabinet? You said there is a computer in there, does it just run a ROM file?
I wonder what the OS on the pc is, and what kind of game is it... If it is an .exe or flash, because the online game in the Disney website was a flash one.
That extra hole is on most nintendo control panels. It's been asked about before...still a mystery. HellFire from Nintendo used a button near that location. For the record, if Disney is listening in...Just sell this game from the real arcade. My kids love arcades from my basement. I would be happy to shell out 60 bucks for the game. I assume others would too. Sell it to the masses for 20. The iPad and other versions are not the same. Heck even this one doesn't match the movie.
Wait so this game is from 1982 from TobiNoki that means this game came a year out after Donkey Kong, thought it was made around 2013 by Disney lol. Wreck it Ralph looks to obvious in its similarities with Donkey Kong. The antagonist looks like Donkey Kong and the protagonist looks kind of like Mario and uses hammers like Mario originally used.
Create this game for M68000, program again game from game play videos, need create game again since no source code available. Simple game and graphics, 16 colors use 16 x 16 pixel sprite, Can use FPGA for M68000, use two CPU, one for game program and one for sound (stereo PCM). USB drive for changing games.
Can you share how you know that? I didn't any video showing the bootup. I had posted on KLOV that WinXP needed the Visual C++ 2008 redistributable runtime file, but was trying to confirm that actually came with the original machine.
I've heard they are just 19" VGA CRTs. The ones in DisneyQuest have the convergence so out of wack they don't look like VGA. I wonder if they are RGB or they purposely adjusted the purity rings to make it messed up to look old? Pretty clever if so!
The extra hole in the control panel is from Dk Jr I think. They used the same control panel for DK & DKJr and just covered they hole they didn't use. Not 100% sure though.
Oh, I didn't realize that the arcade was made for the movie! I'm new to the arcade scene so I was assuiming it may have been a lesser known game. So there is an actual game to it? It's not just a cabinet?
Awesome video and thanks for sharing! Can you show the monitor and bezel? How does it look on boot up? What windows does it run? Is the cabinet pressed wood or plywood? Thanks again.
They could have went with a Raspberry Pi based solution if they want to shave some cents. Raspberry Pi has native composite video output and GPIO thus skipping the J-Pack, a Raspberry Pi 2 would have more than enough processing power to run a native build of this game.
Very cool! The button hole is a 2nd joystick hole, if you were to remove the joystick I am pretty sure both holes will be the same size and exactly in the same horizontal spot. And there isnt a rom, its just some software and the computer is shelled to boot directly to it. Not sure if its windows or linux, (I am guessing linux). Figure out how to bypass the computer shelling (probably a keyboard button you can hit), then load to the operating system, plug in an external drive and copy. :)
So wait, if the game is actually on a pc inside the cabinet, then that means that somebody could be able to find the game and put it on a flash drive, right?
An old video, but I'd be really curious to see what monitor they used. If it's the original Donkey Kong arcade monitor, how did they convert the apparent VGA output of the iPAC (well, it might not be VGA, but it's at least a D-SUB 15 port) to the arcade monitor?
I wonder what the deal is with them using that PC in particuar. And why it has a floppy drive- it's got a quad-core CPU. Way too new to have a floppy drive.
With lots of game play videos for all levels, people can create this game for arcade PCB. Please some one who know how design arcade boards, please make open source design arcade PCB, could use 68000 Motorola or Z80 processor, modern EPROM 256k chips for program code and sprite graphic, high speed video RAM chip with 32 bit color, JAMMA connector, special connector for stereo sound, and can program with C language instead of assembly.
your beyond lucky and thank you for the video, I subscribed to make sure there can be more video's posted :D I would like to request the back being taken off or if that is possible. What software is running on the PC itself? is it running a basic windows system or does it run something different? Thank you so much!
There is a VGA cable straight forward the JPAC and the HP computer. I don't think there is an Arcade VGA in that computer or any particular soft 15Khz video driver installed... so ... it must be an crt VGA monitor used in that cabinet. Can you confirm? Thx
They probably had a bunch of these computers lying around, having been replaced by a newer model for regular work. Why spend money on new computers for these cabinets when you have surplus ones that need to be disposed of anyway?
This isnt my video. I dont own a Fix it Felix Jr arcade. I'm trying to convert a Nintendo cab into one though. I have no idea how people obtained the cabs Disney made. Also, to tell you the truth, I'm pretty much a noob on arcades too. At least dumping software off of them. Disney used HP computers to run the cab, so the game is probably easily copied if someone knew what they were doing.
I just feel like SOMEONE has to be able to get the ROM. It actually looks like a very fun game. I want to get the world record lol! Jk. Off topic, but I would love to see more games like this be designed as retro games, but released today, and sort of respark how if felt to try to go for a record on a brand new game. Let's make this happen somehow lol!
It appears that earlier today the official file (rom dump) has been leaked to the internet. Don't ask me for a link, I can't/wont help you, but I'm sure you'll have no problem finding it in the usual places.
Those cpu's are vintage, and you cannot buy them anymore. Now i do not know how this game is made, but by the looks of it, it's a x86 game. Not emulated like make does. So it would be impossible make an arcade pcb, since they are not X86 compatible.
I subscribed to your channel, could you please do a video with the stuff below that would be really cool of ya. Can you please show me the monitor and or the model number of it, Its clearly not the Original Sanyo 20EZ monitor used in the donkey kong cabinets. I would like to know what they used please. Also a peak inside the comp would be cool, perhaps we could then know if they raided drives and how much ram/CPU's it has. there should be a latch on the side of the computer that you can just flip up and the side pops off.
DJAlup I have one of those HP machines on my desk at work... quite overkill for an arcade game. They have spots for 2 3.5 hard drives. I'd also wonder what OS they have it running.
If there is no security on them then why has a drive image never surfaced? Also, What the hell is a Visual Displays monitor? Is that a de-shelled Computer monitor?
So the whole thing is just driven by a PC? Does that mean you can hack it and turn it into something else?(not that you would want to). I would like to see a review of the action figures on top, since they look neat. How about showing off the game itself since it look diffrent from the flash version.
you think? Of course it does, Its obvious Disney got ahold of an original cabinet and simply copied it. .31 look at bezel retainer and weird ledge coming out. also look at width of board under speaker (completely wrong) 1:31 Control panel is particle board all Ninty cabs were plywood - also the latches on the bottom are wrong part as well in the wrong place. 2:36 fake coin door. 3:12 whats that slot on the back board? not on your DK. I could keep going on but the point remains not original.
so its an entire PC SYSTEM THAT ONLY RUNS ONE GAME? WTF THAT'S JUST A WASTE OF A GOOD TOWER LIKE SIEROUSLY. I mean its one game why stuck a fucking PC in there and a mouse and keyboard? WHAT!!!!!!!! I just don't get why this is necessary
Somewhere in the world, there's probably someone who's got a fairly sophisticated PC set up, but all they do is play solitaire on it. Maybe check their email.
Because for a promotional tie-in, I doubt they'd want to spend the money to engineer something specialized. Also, lots of modern Sega arcade systems run on PC hardware.
This is absolutely overkill if you ask me. Seriously... An Intel Xeon PC to run what looks like a flash game?. I know it's a Windows game (the exe has been around for a while), but still overkill. It could have been done in a low cost raspberry pi and you couldn't tell the difference from the outside (except that the cabinet would be way lighter and cheaper). Nice video BTW!
The computer may have been surplus Disney equipment, replaced by a new computer but repurposed for this application rather than disposed of or liquidated.
Yeah that machine is from 2006. The movie didn't even come out until 2012. Disney definitely dug into their surplus pile for these, and I'm glad! Great way to recycle old computers.
HDD IMG PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i so want to turn my mame arcade to fix it felix themed but will be pointless without the game.. and the flash version sucks...
I can confirm that is indeed a Nintendo cabinet. My DK has the same hole there, unused. I would love to see more.
You should release the program that runs the game since its a computer
Make sure you back up that harddrive!
Amazing!! I am beyond jealous of this game!!! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you for posting this! Really appreciate it.
The extra hole could have been there because the cabinet may have been a conversion, such as one from "Radar Scope" to "Donkey Kong."
How dissapointing that it's PC based, and not a rom swap on a DK board.. :-( I hope the hard drive is backed up! (time to go googling!)
Steve Jones did you really expect Disney to go that far?
A ROM dump would be great. my son wants to play this on our home MAME setup.
What monitor did they use? What's actually on the hard drive? What OS, etc?
Yeah. Its kind of cool how Disney did it. Fix it Felix Jr is a totally made up game by Disney for the movie Wreck it Ralph. They took old Nintendo cabs and put their game in there via computer.

yep. it's available too. Just g00gle "Fix It Felix Jr. Leaked" and you'll find it pretty easily.
donkey kong 3 had one button exactly where that extra hole is. so it was probably used from that

We'd love to see a software dump!
Thanks for the video. Mostly just: thanks for the verification that there *wasn't* actually a Fix It Felix Jr. in actual 1982 that I just somehow never noticed.
The movie is great. The game is probably fun. The cabinet looks spiffy.
But I'm not a big fan of Disney casually rewriting history just because they can.
They didn't, I'm surprised people actually believed it was a real 80's game.
Saw this cabinet at DisneyQuest. Looks pretty cool :)

Hey buddy i got here by listening to your podcast which is awesome by the way. I can't wait until this gets dumped to the net what a fun game it looks!
I have heard Disney put a NDA, on the rom in the cabinets
that exstra hole on all Donkey Kong Control panals that is a aftermarkit Donkey kong panel
I'm not sure if you mention it in your other videos, but how did you obtain this cab? Did you but it in an auction? Also, I don't know how tough dumping ROMS is, but is it even possible to dump a ROM version of the game that's in that cabinet? You said there is a computer in there, does it just run a ROM file?
Can you do a review of the sugar, rush, speedway cabinet

Love the video, can you make one more? a detail of the monitor, the way the hooked it up, I am trying to build one and I am confused how they did it
Wait so this game is from 1982 from TobiNoki that means this game came a year out after Donkey Kong, thought it was made around 2013 by Disney lol.

No Disney just made the game up

really cool video and could you show how the player 2 button works and who player 2 is? please and thank you .

I wondered how they wired the monitor and what kind of monitor they used??
Want that
An old video, but I'd be really curious to see what monitor they used. If it's the original Donkey Kong arcade monitor, how did they convert the apparent VGA output of the iPAC (well, it might not be VGA, but it's at least a D-SUB 15 port) to the arcade monitor?
Wells gardener made a nice 15 17 and 20" arcade monitor that was vga.
The computer might have a GeForce graphics card installed, running on Soft15K drivers to force 15KHz output.
I wonder what the deal is with them using that PC in particuar. And why it has a floppy drive- it's got a quad-core CPU. Way too new to have a floppy drive.

A Xeon HP Desktop tower to run a 8mb game? A bit extreme you think? Couldn't Disney use a ITX PC with a 64gb SSD instead?
They probably had a bunch of these computers lying around, having been replaced by a newer model for regular work. Why spend money on new computers for these cabinets when you have surplus ones that need to be disposed of anyway?
It is may have been a vs nintendo cab and that hole may have been player 2 joystick?
Thank you.
Any chance this will get dumped? Possibly on a certain Archive website?

Moar. I'd like to see the monitor and know what it is running on in terms of software.
What does the monitor look like from the back?
Can you make a vid where you play the game
(in a chanting voice)...DUMP THE ROM'S, DUMP THE ROM'S, DUMP THE ROM'S!!!
THANKS for This VIDEO Men!

can go around to the back ?
what Monitor is in it? Sanyo EZ20 like Donkey Kong?
I wish someone could turn this into a ROM file so some of us can play it on MAME!!!!
