Good tutorial but I suggest that once you make a dot on the plexi glass you use a drill bit just to make a hole that the hole cutter will slot into so it doesn't slide on the plexi and mark it. Unfortunately these aren't in the uk till the 20th of August 😔
Bro...you did an amazing job. I watched the whole thing. I appreciate you taking the time to show other people what you did. Mad props. Thanks for all the hard work and sharing. Stay Lifted.
Got a TMNT cab, with 4 player. Just ordered the Sanwa original joysticks from AliExpress, and all the parts you explained. looks like its going to be an awesome build ! Thank you
Nice mod I just picked up the mk cabinet and am excited to mod it with a raspberry pi but I dont own a laptop so I thought about getting a pre loaded sd card... I see some people sell these pre loaded sd cards specifically for arcade 1up mods on etsy/ebay/ etc... etc.. I'm new to all this so I hope the overall mod goes well for me as it did for you and everyone else I see who has done this. Thanks for uploading this man good job.. I watch all the mod videos for educational/inspirational purposes... keep up the good work Liked and subscribed
Thanks a lot and yes I've seen those preloaded cards even on Amazon for only like $99 so if you can find someone to do it on your computer or on their computer much cheaper obviously but the build is almost as fun as playing the game so enjoy yourself and thank you so much for subscribing
The classic Pizza Hut TMNT on TOUR soundtrack was a nice addition to this video. For someone who has never done this or were familiar with arcade parts and modding, you did a great job!
Thank you so much this was early last year now I'm into actual arcades and actually co-host a show called arcade Pickers, check it out and tell me what you think
Thanks for video. I picked up the Tmnt cabinet for Christmas and always wanted to mod it more than adding a light up marquee. This is the best way to get the most of it.
Wow. Awesome tutorial! I was intimidated at first but after watching your video it actually looks possible to do this! Thanks so much for your attention to detail! I have subscribed and can't wait to see more.
Tip here for those who are watching this. You do not need to buy an amp. The LCD board has an amplified input. It isn't the aux cable input, it is the 4 pin connector right above that. You simply need to cut the male aux end off the speakers and connect a 4 pin connector to that. The AUX wire has 4 wires inside. 2 black (ground 1 white and 1 red (left and right speakers). The 2 black go in the center while the red going on top and the white on the bottom. If you mix the white and red, that is fine. This isn't surround sound and all the sound comes out at once so you wouldn't notice if the left and right were mixed but thought I would let you know the correct way any ways. So you bought 80 bucks worth of buttons and now you have a crap load of extra stuff laying around. Look at your old joy sticks most of the come with 4 pin connectors. Cut it off and leave yourself some room for mistakes by cutting near the base so you have plenty of wire. Now all you have to do of course if strip the wires and connect them in the correct way. The color of the wire does not matter on the joy stick. You just want to make sure whatever wire is going to be plugged into the top pin is connected to the red and the bottom pin is connected to the white. The corresponding ground wires go in the middle. Layout [(r)(g)(g)(w)] If the 4 pin connector from the joy stick is too big, you can literally just removed the white plastic from the side of the pins on the the LCD board. So long as the correct wires are touching the correct pins and there is enough conductivity, it will sound very very loud. Just as a usual TV would. Hope this made sense. If you are savvy this should shed some light regardless. This is if you want to use the stock speakers. I can't really think of a reason why would would want low quality sound pumping out of nice speakers but to each their own. The stock speakers sound just fine and the LCD amp works great.
Thank you for the input on this as when I made this video I was very new to the process. So I am aware of this now. My only issue would be is there a place for a subwoofer?
Great video man! Before watching yours, I had watched maybe 3 or 4 and none were as detailed as yours. Really awesome! Just ordered my cabinet and setting up my Amazon order with the rest of the stuff. Also nice touch with the sub. Funny enough I have a spare one. Totally doing it now! Cowabunga!
I had another couple of questions. If you had kept the original speakers but still uses the amp and sub, do you think the sound would have been as good? Also what is the reason you used a Bluetooth amp vs a non-bluetooth amp? Thanks for you time.
Is the background music during the tutorial from Gunship ? Lol. But anyways, would I be able to make Leonardo and Raphael as P1 and P2 (respectively) to be modded for the more button layout ? I just think it would make more since because of the angle. You kinda have more space for hand movements on the edge of the control board.
Hey man, question, I noticed that you had the off/on and vol button wires going on the board somewhere. I know you're not using the vol button since you have the amp but what about the power switch? Are you utilizing it to work with the pi?
I actually don't use the power button or the volume button on the control deck as you mentioned the volume is controlled on the amplifier and what I did was plugged everything that has a power source into a power strip then I bought one of those remote control power on power off plugs from Walmart for about 8 bucks so I can just hit a button on the remote and turn everything off and on with the push of a button
Hey, I'm about ready to pull the trigger and buy some stuff to follow along with this video - question about drilling the plexiglass, do you think a Forstner drill bit might be the way to go instead of a holesaw? I know there are two different button sizes in the arcade kit so I need to get the right drill bits to match. I'm excited to do this but definitely worried about cracking the glass.
If it makes you feel any better I don't even use the plexiglass anymore, I crack him 90% of the time and they are totally unnecessary, the underneath control panel has a high-gloss coating on it anyway so you definitely don't even need the Plexi
Sound from the back, cancels out sound from the front FYI... Also, the speakers are designed to compress air in enclosures, unless they are designed for free air operation, you might want to seal those up.
One thing I didn’t see you describe was once you put the emulator with all the games how’ does everything mapped to make sure the buttons and joystick are all configured to the specs of the games? Is automatically or manually ?
What I don't understand, is why everyone goes with the amp? Couldn't a person just hook up a male audio plug, and plug it directly to the Pi, or would the audio not be loud enough?
No it would definitely not be loud enough and I am an audio guy so my cabinets are extremely loud when I want them to be so I just go with this particular out because it's Bluetooth that way I can play my music from my phone like a jukebox or I can crank it when I want to play games really loud with Bass because I also have a subwoofer in it
What image did you pick for your raspberry pi? I have a 128gb card and am looking for a good image to grab . My favorite systems would be neogeo, super nes, nes, Dreamcast, plus all the arcade mame fighting games
You can run audio off the lcd pcb it's about 6 watts total. So it will sound as good as stock. But if you want spend more money then go ahead and upgrade.
Good details here! I have a TMNT Turtles in Time A1up that I am currently modding. Trying to figure out a safe way to power off the monitor. What do your power off steps look like? Do you just flip the power switch on the surge protector strip? Do you hit the power button the VSDISPLAY controller? Do you safely power off you Pi first?
I’m new to this so fair warning. Just curious when you play your turtle games are they the games that were programmed into the marching or do you have to play the ones on your raspberry pi? Is there a way to switch between the factory game and your mod games?
They are the ones that are on the SD card on the Raspberry Pi, once you disconnect the stock game so you cannot switch between them again they are done for you will have all the games you need on the Raspberry Pi
Please excuse my confusion and possible stupid question but, now the tmnt games you are playing are the ones you downloaded to your sd card and not the ones that came with the original arcade1up card correct? Also, do you need a desktop computer to load games to sd card or could you use a laptop?
Hello, what a great job you did! I just got into modding and I’m about 3 years too late on this video. Some of The products you have listed are no longer available…Is there any chance that you could possibly update the list??? I know it might not be possible but if you can I’d love to mod my Simpson’s cabinet!
Did you explain how to put the arcade punk games on to the pie or does yours arcade punk games just get recieved by your pie as soon as you've converted them because I didn't see you put your games on your pie
I must have missed something, where was the step of wiring up the buttons and the new joysticks? There was an empty control panel and then they were all in there and in place. Also, is it possible to use the factory speakers and volume and power switches?
Yep those steps were in the middle of the video.... Yes the fa tory speakers will blow with loud volume ...they are very low quality You can wire the volume and power but it is not part of this tutorial ... The wired ha e to be spliced into the correct plugs for these encoders to work
@@arcadepickers1682 The buttons and joysticks seem to just magically show up in the control deck here - th-cam.com/video/g9d1s0E1hPM/w-d-xo.html , but I don't see anywhere in the video where you're adding them individually or wiring them up. I also didn't see the diagram you mentioned....I wonder if my player is skipping parts of the build.
So you're right I didn't actually do that on camera because I had to use both hands but all I did was push the buttons through from the topside and screw the washer on the backside the joysticks screwed into the same olds that the other one were in so no drilling required then it was just positive negative on each button and positive negative on each LED light on each button and the diagram comes with the buttons in the package from Amazon and you will see me show what it looks like a couple of times in the video all you have to do is make sure you put each button in the same slot on each decoder example button a for player 1 2 3 and 4 goes in slot one on the decoder button be for Player 1 2 3 4 goes in Slot 2 Etc.......
@@arcadepickers1682 thanks. One last question (I'm a newbie here, got my TMNT cabinet coming tomorrow), if I dont want to hook up the power for the LED's, can that just remain unhooked, or are they required to be plugged in?
@@MatrixPrime no you can definitely leave them on hooked they are on a separate power source so if you just want to use the buttons no problem much easier to hook up just positive and negative on each button and you're done
Nba jam arcade yes....nfl blitz have to be downloaded easily and added to the PlayStation emulator, watch my let's play PlayStation on our arcade1up tutorial and just download the NFL Blitz ROM instead of Wu-Tang Clan
Great video! I've actually got the same problem with the speakers being too long. I thought of drilling holes on the top H panel, but I always learned that speaker cones should always be enclosed, or you lose sound quality. With that said, how's the sound quality even with the exposed holes?
It actually sounds pretty good, I don't usually Blair it that loud. Since this video I have completely moved away from arcade1up and only work on traditional arcade cabinets now I never run out of room LOL. Thanks for watching bud
Another question for you, did you ever think of putting the coin buttons on the side on the console underneath each turtle instead of under the main console where you ended up putting them? Wondering if you've come across something that maybe prevented you from trying that. I'm planning that actually so I was wondering.
I actually did it that way on my new cabinet, the one that you see in this video I actually sold to someone and I remade a different one and added the coin buttons up on the control deck
Great work! Can you supply a UK equiv list for your UK fans pls ? Also is there a way to stop the constant stuttering camera ? the frame rate seems to be too low?
Hey buddy, all & all this is a good video. You really done a pretty good job. To an utter beginner (me) it's a very helpful video, to PI mod a TMNT A1up cabinet . I used this video for almost my whole 1st build. This vid could use a few more details added, to be a complete 100% DIY, for 1st timers though. I really, really appreciate your work at attempting to make this vid a 1 all, instruct all. I still needed to use 2 other tutorial vids to write the image. At this moment, I'm stuck at configuring the buttons. I don't have a usb controller etc. right now & would asked that you please show/tell how to configure the buttons/controls etc., to add to your/this comprehensive vid. I come to you, because of just how this vid is IMO about 80% complete as the most extensive 1 and done, only tutorial needed, vid. So that it's a 100% complete "how to for dummies." What do I need to do to configure buttons, so that I can finally finish my TMNT arcade 1up build. FYI, I have all the same hardware installed, that you linked. I have the wolfanoz 32gb arcade only image though. I'm stuck at this moment trying to figure out how to get the controls right. Could you please explain how to configure buttons etc? Thank you, for this video & all your help
So when you're in emulationstation you hit start and it will bring you into an option that says controller input where you can redo the controls at any time, otherwise when you initially start retropie it will have you set your controls from the get-go, if you need more help with this PM me on Facebook
Good question, when I did this build back in January the pie for was just being released and had a lot of negative reviews online as far as overheating issues and not being compatible with a lot of the emulators, I think the longer the pie for is released the more people will learn about it and it will be updated and probably the better option over the pi 3
I would still just pay the $150 for the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ because the image that I used on this game only runs on that. If you are looking for the games I used check the video I have called modded to the max TMNT I believe the link is in the description for arcade punks
I haven't seen anyone ask and it wasn't in the video so are configuring all the different buttons and joysticks to work with the raspberry hard to do? It seemed they just worked in your video but I'm guessing you just cut that part out of the video or am I wrong?
I've read about the importance of having the same number of buttons set up in the same spots on each encoder, so does having 8 buttons for players 1 and 2 and having only 4 for players 3 and 4 mess anything up?
So it doesn't matter because you have plenty of spaces on the encoder you just have to make sure that the players that have extra buttons have those buttons in the same spot as well obviously on the encoder for the players that have less buttons those spots will be left blank
How do you set the joystick input to where Donatello is player 2 and ralphael is play 4?..whenever I try to play sf2 ralphael is player 2 which only limits me to 4 buttons
So this is kind of a confusing question because Ninja Turtles only uses two buttons jumped and attack if you're talking about Street Fighter that's a totally different ball game but all you have to do is switch the USB inputs on the Raspberry Pi there are four inputs total on the Raspberry Pi in each one represents player one through four so you can switch those out an experiment to find out which one is Player 1 2 3 and 4 and plug those in a cordingley and they will adjust on the screen exactly how you have them plugged in hopefully this help you out
Love this setup. Working on my own and have made substantial progress, but can you give some guidance on how you used that RCA cable to wire the subwoofer into the amp? I have a sub with two RCA low level inputs, and I need to get them to the +/- input on the same amp you used.
So all you do is just cut the end of the RCA's off with scissors then strip them down to the wire and connect them in to positive and negative and it's a done deal super easy
@@enolam05 by the way when you split it down two two wires each two wires might have their own two wires all you have to do is hook one side or the other into the positive and negative and it will be enough to power the subwoofer
Really you can use any 4 inch speakers you would like they even have some that have lights in them if you want to go all out fairly inexpensive. As far as the amp it just depends on if you're planning on using a subwoofer or not if you are you just need any 2 channel amp that has subwoofer input as well and you usually have to always buy the power source separately. So go on Amazon and type in the one that I put the link and you will see recommended products on the same page usually has several other competitors with the same exact thing. Thank you for watching the video
Great video. Had a few questions. How would you consider modding just for specific 2 and 4 player games with 4 buttons ? I want to have neo geo games and 4player sports, action,etc. Should i go with the setup you recommended in this video without the extra buttons. I wish to only use 4 buttons max for each player and the games compatible for it or will i need a specific board and program? Sorry i am new to this. Any help is appreciated. Thank you
Hi Paul great question, all you would have to do is just add two buttons to each player since they come with two stock, should be very easy to do since there's plenty of space on the control deck for four buttons. The tricky part was trying to find space on the board to place the additional 5 6 7 and 8 button but if you only need four should be a piece of cake you can just pick the most convenient spot for the extra two buttons on each player
Great build and video! If you were to do it all over again, would you use the same buttons/joysticks, or would you upgrade to suzo/happ or perhaps IL ?
I'm thinking about modding a Marvel Super Heroes cabinet. Is it possible to just use the stock speakers in the cabinet or do you need an amp and extra speakers? Also I'm guessing you don't HAVE to replace the buttons and joysticks, but you may want to for quality reasons? (I know I would have to install two 'select' buttons)
I noticed that when you showed the game at the end the bottom of the screen is cut off, is this a fixable thing or is the resolution on games always off like that?
@@arcadepickers1682 awesome thanks, is it the kind of thing you just set once or do you have to do it every time for every game? Thanks again for the informative tutorial definitely feeling more confident to mod mine now
Just real quick additional question, what do you set the resolution to so it fits the screen? I just want to be extra careful cause I've read about people putting in the wrong resolution and the monitor going all white and them not being able to fix it
Do you happen to have an updated version of this? I can’t find some of the products on Amazon from those posted. And does anything change with the raspberry pi newer version
@@thealatorresquad these are just miniature versions of an actual arcade cabinet made out of particle board I am talking about six foot or taller actual arcade cabinets
Yes, the 3B has been out for a while and works perfectly fine. With the Raspberry Pi and the image that I chose. However, the for hasn't been out that long and if you research just a bit has a lot of problems with overheating.
Nice video. Question, wouldn’t it been better to make player 1 and 3 have 6 buttons and player 2 and 4 have 4? So this way, 2 players have more room to play fighting games?
You have to expand the image the first time you load the game, go to my let's play Sonic Adventure Dreamcast video and Skip to about 6 minutes and I will walk you through the process
Yes I've been hearing that a lot, you can actually use any 2.1 amplifier on Amazon or Ebay just make sure that it has a spot for the subwoofer and the right and left speakers and make sure you order the correct power source it will usually tell you on the link which power source to buy usually it's a 12-volt, as far as the four-player arcade kit there is another one available on Amazon it just has slightly different buttons and joysticks but any of them will work the same way
Got another one...I didn’t see you mention the coin buttons and where to hook them up at? I feel like the little white cables that came with my buttons kit (same you linked too but mine are simply 3-prong plugs on both ends, button and board) are not very long.
Also, did you end up cracking the plexi in the end because you definitely didn’t have it on during your replacement of the top screws. Maybe it’s on at the end but I didn’t notice. Mine cracked to shit.
You can pretty much by any two player arcade joystick kit off of Amazon, in fact since I released this video they have the new plug-in play ones that are way easier to hook up
Thanks again for your tutorial got my machine up and running, do you have any issues with wwf wrestlemania working? For some reason it won't boot for me, I have the same crispr image as you also
@@arcadepickers1682did you have to set that favorites section up? Mine seems to be only sorted by system and no favorites category? Sorry to keep asking questions lol but you always seem to have the right answers for me lol
@@MidwestVillain_Z yes watch the tutorial called retropie setup favorites you have to go in and set up a favorites key on your keyboard and plug it into the Raspberry Pi then you can push the specific key every time you're on a game that is one of your favorites then inside of the retropie menu and you can go to generate favorites list and it will create your own custom list, I will do a tutorial on that soon but there are plenty of them on there right now. Good luck
I want to only have 2buttons per player. So im fine with just using the stock ones. I know id have to add hot keys for each plyr. I have the usb encoder my question is can i put the stock buttons onto a usb encoder? I see that they are glued down is this mean i cant remove em?
Want to do this to my TMNT box, but the powersupply, speakers and sub are out of stock. Do you have a recommendation for replacements? Also do you think a raspberry 4 would be better?
Thank you so much for watching, you can use any 12 volt power supply that matches the same details of this one, also any 4in speakers will work with any subwoofer as well
@@arcadepickers1682 Any reason to not just get a 1-1/8 hole dozer (hole saw), and use it for all the holes? PCB board, Acryllic cover, and Plastic box? I've never used a hole saw before, so sorry if this is a daft question! I've seen lots of folks either use spade bits, step bits, or hole saws, so I wasn't sure what the right tool for each job really was, though you're one of the few who didn't crack the plexiglass!
I know you will need to order a 128gb card if you just want the image and if you want to be able to add stuff to it after the fact I would get a 256 micro SD card
@@arcadepickers1682 great! Is there any specific name brand to go with? And If I buy it online can I get it shipped straight to your address and can PayPal you for the shipping if that's possible.
@@realgeoperez yes could you please private message me on Facebook and we can get everything squared away it's under the same name as my TH-cam channel
Great video. Question are you connecting the audio straight to the pi or the display? I've heard that there may be some issues getting sound on some images like this when using the pi audio.
The HDMI goes from the pi to the display then there is an auxiliary output coming from the display that goes into the back of the amplifier and I have no issues whatsoever
Great tutorial! Liked and subscribed. Just picked up a TMNT cabinet and plan to start the modding process using your tutorial. Question: from your Sonic Adventures 2 video, seems like the 128gb Crisp v2 from I_Died_Once link from Arcade Punks has been shut down. Looks like they don't allow external links according to message. Any other way for me to download this file?
I plugged everything into a power strip and plug the power strip into a smart plug that turns on and off with the remote, they have them at Walmart for about 8 bucks
If it's up against the wall it will air out much better if you leave the back out and prevent overheating. I don't have a link but it's super easy to find at Walmart, it's over by the extension cords aisle and it plugged into the wall and you plug your arcade into it and it comes with a remote for about 8 bucks
Good job on everything. I have a mk2 1up arcade that I was gonna mod but I thought what for space is limited and I said I could build one better and really customize it, so I did.. believe it or not I built mine for cheaper then you bought all your parts.. I occasionally will help people with there builds or when people ask if they should buy an arcade cabinet I ask them a few questions and 1 being are they plan to mod it..? Some say yeah then I say it’ll be cheaper for you to build your own. You’ll spend about 3 bills on the machine and if you don’t know where to get the items you’ll pay more for them and end up spending another 3-4 hundred. Will all that you can almost buy a real arcade machine. I eventually want to get a cheap 50$ machine and just use the sides and put a bigger screen and ect and show people it can be done most only work in a small space they confine themselves to the small specs of the machine itself. I built mine with a 32lcd HDMI tv then bought 1 sheet of mdf 3/4 and I almost built the whole machine just with that sheet alone.. If you can do this bro I have a good feeling you can build your own from scratch , you should try it one day.. But I commend you on you trying to hit every detail bcuz your right most can’t explain right or in detail what there tryin to say. You did a great job.. much respect ✊🏽

Is the background music during the tutorial from Gunship ? Lol.
But anyways, would I be able to make Leonardo and Raphael as P1 and P2 (respectively) to be modded for the more button layout ? I just think it would make more since because of the angle. You kinda have more space for hand movements on the edge of the control board.
Hey man, question, I noticed that you had the off/on and vol button wires going on the board somewhere. I know you're not using the vol button since you have the amp but what about the power switch? Are you utilizing it to work with the pi?
I actually don't use the power button or the volume button on the control deck as you mentioned the volume is controlled on the amplifier and what I did was plugged everything that has a power source into a power strip then I bought one of those remote control power on power off plugs from Walmart for about 8 bucks so I can just hit a button on the remote and turn everything off and on with the push of a button
Oh smart ok cool. Wondered if you always went to the back to power your power bar. Lol. Thanks!
Hey, I'm about ready to pull the trigger and buy some stuff to follow along with this video - question about drilling the plexiglass, do you think a Forstner drill bit might be the way to go instead of a holesaw? I know there are two different button sizes in the arcade kit so I need to get the right drill bits to match. I'm excited to do this but definitely worried about cracking the glass.
If it makes you feel any better I don't even use the plexiglass anymore, I crack him 90% of the time and they are totally unnecessary, the underneath control panel has a high-gloss coating on it anyway so you definitely don't even need the Plexi
Sound from the back, cancels out sound from the front FYI... Also, the speakers are designed to compress air in enclosures, unless they are designed for free air operation, you might want to seal those up.
Very nice and thorough. I can't wait to get a tmnt cabinet.
Amazing man! This is perfect. I’m gonna do this now. Thanks so much.
One thing I didn’t see you describe was once you put the emulator with all the games how’ does everything mapped to make sure the buttons and joystick are all configured to the specs of the games? Is automatically or manually ?
What I don't understand, is why everyone goes with the amp? Couldn't a person just hook up a male audio plug, and plug it directly to the Pi, or would the audio not be loud enough?
No it would definitely not be loud enough and I am an audio guy so my cabinets are extremely loud when I want them to be so I just go with this particular out because it's Bluetooth that way I can play my music from my phone like a jukebox or I can crank it when I want to play games really loud with Bass because I also have a subwoofer in it
Hey! One of the best detailed videos I've seen, excellent work and thank you!! Which ROM Pak did you use? Really like the layout. Thanks
thanks....ROM pack I used is no longer available so sorry ....not sure why?
@@arcadepickers1682 thanks for the reply, I thought that was the case as I couldn't find it. Do you recommend one at all to use? Cheers

What image did you pick for your raspberry pi? I have a 128gb card and am looking for a good image to grab . My favorite systems would be neogeo, super nes, nes, Dreamcast, plus all the arcade mame fighting games
Check my Lets play Sonic Adventure video links: The image I use is linked in the description
You can run audio off the lcd pcb it's about 6 watts total. So it will sound as good as stock. But if you want spend more money then go ahead and upgrade.
Excellent 👑 Super detailed thank you now I can dig back in Thank you sincerely #PizzaTime

Good details here! I have a TMNT Turtles in Time A1up that I am currently modding. Trying to figure out a safe way to power off the monitor. What do your power off steps look like? Do you just flip the power switch on the surge protector strip? Do you hit the power button the VSDISPLAY controller? Do you safely power off you Pi first?
I’m new to this so fair warning. Just curious when you play your turtle games are they the games that were programmed into the marching or do you have to play the ones on your raspberry pi? Is there a way to switch between the factory game and your mod games?
They are the ones that are on the SD card on the Raspberry Pi, once you disconnect the stock game so you cannot switch between them again they are done for you will have all the games you need on the Raspberry Pi
good effort, but the 4 frames per second is making me ill

Please excuse my confusion and possible stupid question but, now the tmnt games you are playing are the ones you downloaded to your sd card and not the ones that came with the original arcade1up card correct?
Also, do you need a desktop computer to load games to sd card or could you use a laptop?
Correct and either will work :)

Hello, what a great job you did! I just got into modding and I’m about 3 years too late on this video. Some of The products you have listed are no longer available…Is there any chance that you could possibly update the list??? I know it might not be possible but if you can I’d love to mod my Simpson’s cabinet!
Great job on the in depth video. I appreciate your help.
Thanks
Hi, which romset and pack did you pick from arcadepunks? it looks awesome
Did you explain how to put the arcade punk games on to the pie or does yours arcade punk games just get recieved by your pie as soon as you've converted them because I didn't see you put your games on your pie
Go to my place Sonic Adventure on Arcade 1up video and check the description for the link to the image that I used
You are a saint for making this!
Great vid! Maybe I’m missing something, but which resolution lcd controller did you get off amazon?
only mod i'm doing is a light up marquee, sanwa buttons and bat top joysticks
I must have missed something, where was the step of wiring up the buttons and the new joysticks? There was an empty control panel and then they were all in there and in place.
Also, is it possible to use the factory speakers and volume and power switches?
Yep those steps were in the middle of the video....
Yes the fa tory speakers will blow with loud volume ...they are very low quality
You can wire the volume and power but it is not part of this tutorial ...
The wired ha e to be spliced into the correct plugs for these encoders to work
@@arcadepickers1682 The buttons and joysticks seem to just magically show up in the control deck here - th-cam.com/video/g9d1s0E1hPM/w-d-xo.html , but I don't see anywhere in the video where you're adding them individually or wiring them up. I also didn't see the diagram you mentioned....I wonder if my player is skipping parts of the build.
So you're right I didn't actually do that on camera because I had to use both hands but all I did was push the buttons through from the topside and screw the washer on the backside the joysticks screwed into the same olds that the other one were in so no drilling required then it was just positive negative on each button and positive negative on each LED light on each button and the diagram comes with the buttons in the package from Amazon and you will see me show what it looks like a couple of times in the video all you have to do is make sure you put each button in the same slot on each decoder example button a for player 1 2 3 and 4 goes in slot one on the decoder button be for Player 1 2 3 4 goes in Slot 2 Etc.......
@@arcadepickers1682 thanks. One last question (I'm a newbie here, got my TMNT cabinet coming tomorrow), if I dont want to hook up the power for the LED's, can that just remain unhooked, or are they required to be plugged in?
@@MatrixPrime no you can definitely leave them on hooked they are on a separate power source so if you just want to use the buttons no problem much easier to hook up just positive and negative on each button and you're done
Thank you for this video and all tips. Time to make mine! Does the MAME package you install have NBA Jam and NFL Blitz?
Nba jam arcade yes....nfl blitz have to be downloaded easily and added to the PlayStation emulator, watch my let's play PlayStation on our arcade1up tutorial and just download the NFL Blitz ROM instead of Wu-Tang Clan
Great video! I've actually got the same problem with the speakers being too long. I thought of drilling holes on the top H panel, but I always learned that speaker cones should always be enclosed, or you lose sound quality. With that said, how's the sound quality even with the exposed holes?
It actually sounds pretty good, I don't usually Blair it that loud. Since this video I have completely moved away from arcade1up and only work on traditional arcade cabinets now I never run out of room LOL. Thanks for watching bud
Another question for you, did you ever think of putting the coin buttons on the side on the console underneath each turtle instead of under the main console where you ended up putting them? Wondering if you've come across something that maybe prevented you from trying that. I'm planning that actually so I was wondering.
I actually did it that way on my new cabinet, the one that you see in this video I actually sold to someone and I remade a different one and added the coin buttons up on the control deck
@@arcadepickers1682 can we see a pic or quick vid of the coin buttons on top?
How did you get your ground screw in? Is thwre a bolt and nut from the lcd controller? I hace the same cabinet.
Great work! Can you supply a UK equiv list for your UK fans pls ? Also is there a way to stop the constant stuttering camera ? the frame rate seems to be too low?
Hey buddy, all & all this is a good video. You really done a pretty good job. To an utter beginner (me) it's a very helpful video, to PI mod a TMNT A1up cabinet . I used this video for almost my whole 1st build. This vid could use a few more details added, to be a complete 100% DIY, for 1st timers though. I really, really appreciate your work at attempting to make this vid a 1 all, instruct all. I still needed to use 2 other tutorial vids to write the image. At this moment, I'm stuck at configuring the buttons. I don't have a usb controller etc. right now & would asked that you please show/tell how to configure the buttons/controls etc., to add to your/this comprehensive vid. I come to you, because of just how this vid is IMO about 80% complete as the most extensive 1 and done, only tutorial needed, vid. So that it's a 100% complete "how to for dummies." What do I need to do to configure buttons, so that I can finally finish my TMNT arcade 1up build. FYI, I have all the same hardware installed, that you linked. I have the wolfanoz 32gb arcade only image though. I'm stuck at this moment trying to figure out how to get the controls right. Could you please explain how to configure buttons etc? Thank you, for this video & all your help
So when you're in emulationstation you hit start and it will bring you into an option that says controller input where you can redo the controls at any time, otherwise when you initially start retropie it will have you set your controls from the get-go, if you need more help with this PM me on Facebook
I just did this mod and I'm getting a whistling sound from my speakers. Are you set up through wifi or something?
Where do you have the 3.5 mm aux cord coming from the vsdisplay or the Raspberry Pi
Curious why you didn’t use a Pi 4? I deciding between Pi3B+ or Pi 4. Still learning the mod world.
Good question, when I did this build back in January the pie for was just being released and had a lot of negative reviews online as far as overheating issues and not being compatible with a lot of the emulators, I think the longer the pie for is released the more people will learn about it and it will be updated and probably the better option over the pi 3
Did you use a 1.5” hole dozer? The link goes to 2” and that seems a bit too large
Since this video was made 2 yrs ago, wat raspberry should I get? The 4?
I would still just pay the $150 for the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ because the image that I used on this game only runs on that. If you are looking for the games I used check the video I have called modded to the max TMNT I believe the link is in the description for arcade punks
Supremely thorough. A+
awesome job. Great walkthrough!
Thanks
I haven't seen anyone ask and it wasn't in the video so are configuring all the different buttons and joysticks to work with the raspberry hard to do? It seemed they just worked in your video but I'm guessing you just cut that part out of the video or am I wrong?
yes very easy it will walk you thru it on the screen the first time you turn on the raspberry pi ...can be reconfigured at any time as well
I've read about the importance of having the same number of buttons set up in the same spots on each encoder, so does having 8 buttons for players 1 and 2 and having only 4 for players 3 and 4 mess anything up?
So it doesn't matter because you have plenty of spaces on the encoder you just have to make sure that the players that have extra buttons have those buttons in the same spot as well obviously on the encoder for the players that have less buttons those spots will be left blank
How do you set the joystick input to where Donatello is player 2 and ralphael is play 4?..whenever I try to play sf2 ralphael is player 2 which only limits me to 4 buttons
So this is kind of a confusing question because Ninja Turtles only uses two buttons jumped and attack if you're talking about Street Fighter that's a totally different ball game but all you have to do is switch the USB inputs on the Raspberry Pi there are four inputs total on the Raspberry Pi in each one represents player one through four so you can switch those out an experiment to find out which one is Player 1 2 3 and 4 and plug those in a cordingley and they will adjust on the screen exactly how you have them plugged in hopefully this help you out
Love this setup. Working on my own and have made substantial progress, but can you give some guidance on how you used that RCA cable to wire the subwoofer into the amp? I have a sub with two RCA low level inputs, and I need to get them to the +/- input on the same amp you used.
So all you do is just cut the end of the RCA's off with scissors then strip them down to the wire and connect them in to positive and negative and it's a done deal super easy
Got it! Thanks again for the help. Getting super excited about this!
@@enolam05 by the way when you split it down two two wires each two wires might have their own two wires all you have to do is hook one side or the other into the positive and negative and it will be enough to power the subwoofer
Curious as to what other speaker and amp you would use because the ones in the link are no longer in stock. Thanks for the video
Really you can use any 4 inch speakers you would like they even have some that have lights in them if you want to go all out fairly inexpensive. As far as the amp it just depends on if you're planning on using a subwoofer or not if you are you just need any 2 channel amp that has subwoofer input as well and you usually have to always buy the power source separately. So go on Amazon and type in the one that I put the link and you will see recommended products on the same page usually has several other competitors with the same exact thing. Thank you for watching the video
Great video. Had a few questions. How would you consider modding just for specific 2 and 4 player games with 4 buttons ? I want to have neo geo games and 4player sports, action,etc. Should i go with the setup you recommended in this video without the extra buttons. I wish to only use 4 buttons max for each player and the games compatible for it or will i need a specific board and program? Sorry i am new to this. Any help is appreciated. Thank you
Hi Paul great question, all you would have to do is just add two buttons to each player since they come with two stock, should be very easy to do since there's plenty of space on the control deck for four buttons. The tricky part was trying to find space on the board to place the additional 5 6 7 and 8 button but if you only need four should be a piece of cake you can just pick the most convenient spot for the extra two buttons on each player
Great build and video!
If you were to do it all over again, would you use the same buttons/joysticks, or would you upgrade to suzo/happ or perhaps IL ?
I'm thinking about modding a Marvel Super Heroes cabinet. Is it possible to just use the stock speakers in the cabinet or do you need an amp and extra speakers? Also I'm guessing you don't HAVE to replace the buttons and joysticks, but you may want to for quality reasons? (I know I would have to install two 'select' buttons)
You have to replace all of it....sorry
I noticed that when you showed the game at the end the bottom of the screen is cut off, is this a fixable thing or is the resolution on games always off like that?
Easy fix: hold coin and attack button amd brings up options ....then you can adjust screen ratio :)
@@arcadepickers1682 awesome thanks, is it the kind of thing you just set once or do you have to do it every time for every game? Thanks again for the informative tutorial definitely feeling more confident to mod mine now
Just once and will stay for all games ....thanks so much :)
Just real quick additional question, what do you set the resolution to so it fits the screen? I just want to be extra careful cause I've read about people putting in the wrong resolution and the monitor going all white and them not being able to fix it
Good question 4:3
Do you happen to have an updated version of this?
I can’t find some of the products on Amazon from those posted. And does anything change with the raspberry pi newer version
I do not so sorry this was January of 2020, since then I have moved on to actual arcades I highly recommend anyone else do so as well
Try ETA Prime ...he has an arcade1up mod video....thanks for watching
@@arcadepickers1682 what do you mean by actual arcades? Whats the difference?
Great content btw
@@thealatorresquad these are just miniature versions of an actual arcade cabinet made out of particle board I am talking about six foot or taller actual arcade cabinets
Sorry if you mentioned this already in the video but where do you connect the “Insert Coin” buttons? Because the wires I have don’t reach.
You have to extend the wires by splicing some extras on to it and electrical taping them together
Great video! Is there a reason you went with a 3B instead of a 4B? I keep looking at this but wasn't sure why you went with that specific item.
Yes, the 3B has been out for a while and works perfectly fine. With the Raspberry Pi and the image that I chose. However, the for hasn't been out that long and if you research just a bit has a lot of problems with overheating.
Nice video. Question, wouldn’t it been better to make player 1 and 3 have 6 buttons and player 2 and 4 have 4? So this way, 2 players have more room to play fighting games?
I just got that cabinet. You think this will still work both hardware and software wise
Great video! Question. I followed along step by step and my buttons and joysticks are not working. Did you have to map anything in settings?
You have to expand the image the first time you load the game, go to my let's play Sonic Adventure Dreamcast video and Skip to about 6 minutes and I will walk you through the process
Several of the items are no longer available to purchase. The amp and 4 player button kit are 2 of those items. Any suggestions on alternatives?
Yes I've been hearing that a lot, you can actually use any 2.1 amplifier on Amazon or Ebay just make sure that it has a spot for the subwoofer and the right and left speakers and make sure you order the correct power source it will usually tell you on the link which power source to buy usually it's a 12-volt, as far as the four-player arcade kit there is another one available on Amazon it just has slightly different buttons and joysticks but any of them will work the same way
Thank you!!!
@@zackthompson4021 no prob....good luck ;)
Got another one...I didn’t see you mention the coin buttons and where to hook them up at? I feel like the little white cables that came with my buttons kit (same you linked too but mine are simply 3-prong plugs on both ends, button and board) are not very long.
Also, did you end up cracking the plexi in the end because you definitely didn’t have it on during your replacement of the top screws. Maybe it’s on at the end but I didn’t notice. Mine cracked to shit.

If it's up against the wall it will air out much better if you leave the back out and prevent overheating.

how can i get my pie to go into demo mode to play all game i have???? i seen people have there on in background....
Good job on everything. I have a mk2 1up arcade that I was gonna mod but I thought what for space is limited and I said I could build one better and really customize it, so I did.. believe it or not I built mine for cheaper then you bought all your parts.. I occasionally will help people with there builds or when people ask if they should buy an arcade cabinet I ask them a few questions and 1 being are they plan to mod it..? Some say yeah then I say it’ll be cheaper for you to build your own. You’ll spend about 3 bills on the machine and if you don’t know where to get the items you’ll pay more for them and end up spending another 3-4 hundred. Will all that you can almost buy a real arcade machine. I eventually want to get a cheap 50$ machine and just use the sides and put a bigger screen and ect and show people it can be done most only work in a small space they confine themselves to the small specs of the machine itself. I built mine with a 32lcd HDMI tv then bought 1 sheet of mdf 3/4 and I almost built the whole machine just with that sheet alone.. If you can do this bro I have a good feeling you can build your own from scratch , you should try it one day.. But I commend you on you trying to hit every detail bcuz your right most can’t explain right or in detail what there tryin to say. You did a great job.. much respect ✊🏽
