AWESOME VICTORY! Tornado Terry!
Thanks! Needed to know how to wire my IL buttons with cherry micro switches
No problem, I'm glad it helped!
How did you connect the wires from the atcFe 1 up encoder to the Happ joystick. Please detail
What did you have to do to install the joysticks?
What are the orginal buttons that come with the mk2 cab? I need to know what encoders i need to buy
They are Sanwa knock offs. They should work with this encoder board: amzn.to/2LTBcbH
Any encoder that works with sanwa style
Great knowledge man, I start mine next week my art work will arrive and the final parts I ordered to.
Let me know how the build goes!
Hey dude, love your channel, modding was in my mind ever since I laid eyes on these cabs. mainly cuz for a pretty affordable price u get a screen and a cabinet that I can upgrade myself, and having a channel that shows modding processes on these is awesome so thanks for making this channel and making vids on modding arcade1up cabinets.
Thanks for the nice comment! The price is right for these especially if you find them on sale at Walmart. Some have gotten very lucky finding them at $100 or less. I wasnt one of them haha.
I'm looking to do this mod on my MKII cabinet and noticed everyone modding the spade connectors or buying .187 connectors and crimping them on. Isn't there a HAPP encoder that has the correct wire connections already? If so, this should be as fast as installing the Sanwa style set.
When I made this video (and the How to mod video) I didn't realize they DO sell connectors that fit the Happ buttons. The process is the same, minus manually opening the connectors to fit lol. These should just slip right on. amzn.to/35c1iy2
@@KillerArcadeGames Thanks for the amazon link just what I was looking for.
I need a step by step video bro. I'm gonna be modding my KI cab.
Here’s a detailed video on modding an Arcade1Up I made. I do show how to install the controls at 13:40 th-cam.com/video/wQgUvAtRVnA/w-d-xo.html
Can you put a full tutorial on to install HAPP buttons/joystick? Like on Arcade1up’s Mortal kombat
Its coming. I'm waiting for all of my parts to arrive and I'll be doing a big mod video on the MK cabinet. I'm starting the mod this week, I'll just have to edit it all, I expect to have it on TH-cam in a couple of weeks.
Modding Arcade1Up “Subscribed” ;)
Thanks!
Cant wait for mine. Nice job too
Thanks!
Hi, I have a question, how do you configure your buttons to be exactly as the input of the arcade?
It all depends on the game. For Killer Instinct, the button layout is basically left to right, top to bottom. Button 1 is top left, button 2 is top middle, button 3 is top right, button 4 is bottom left...etc. Mortal Kombat is more tricky, I can't remember the exact configuration but it took some trial and error to figure it out. I want to say its the same style as KI, left to right, top to bottom. So HP would be button one, HK would be button 2, Block would be 3, and so on. Maybe I'll do a video on this in the future. Do you have any specific games you're having trouble configuring?
If you buy happ joystick when you buy the usb encoder buy the blue and white cable with it 4mm they fit perfectly no need modification to fit !!!
Interesting! I didn't know that. The mount is smaller on the 4mm?
Modding Arcade1Up rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cafr.ebay.ca%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F264083237480 i think the red and black are made for the senwa button and the blue and white are for the happ button i instal mine last they and they fit perfectly with my happ button and joystick may look for just the cable on ebay or aliexpress for cheap it worth it !!!
Is there any way to wire these happ buttons to work the the original button controller if I wanna keep the cab original minus the buttons with no led's?
I’m sure there is a way to do it but connecting it via USB would be the hard part. It’s less than $20 to get the two player USB encoder boards so it’s probably not worth messing with.
Love Terry’s! I got my KI kit from him as well
I've got to get back up there to play. Its a good 4 hours from me though.
Hey KAG, A really big fan of the channel, I watch all your streams too. Which size of screws did you use for the joysticks? Thank you
Thanks Dylan! I had to go back and check one of my other videos to answer this one lol. Its these: amzn.to/2XwBSuV #10 3/4 inch long
KILLER, DID YOU HAVE TO DO ANY MODDING TO YOUR STICK HOLES? I CAN MOVE U D L R BUT VERY HARD TO MOVE DIAG, ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT
No, the holes are the standard size. Is the stick hitting the edge on the hole? It’s also possible the stick isn’t assembled properly underneath. I think I messed up the first time I did mine and it was tough to move it.
@@KillerArcadeGames I just went ahead and bought some sanwa sticks, perfect, thanks for the reply tho
it does not matter if blacks on top and red is in the middle. not polarity sensitive.
Thats good to know! I wasn't sure how to hook them up so I found a video online that said to do it this way. I was too afraid of ruining something to test it the other way haha.
Great vid bro! Love happ too, re did my Arcade 1up Street Fighter Arcade all in Happ as well!
Thanks! Its the best way to go in my opinion!
I bought the same joystick/button kit. Any recommendation on a smaller dustwasher? The ones that come with the kit are quite large and cover the direction arrow graphics.
I tried using the old Street Fighter washer but it was too small. I ended up just leaving it off. A lot of my favorite arcade games didn't have them and they all seemed fine under heavy use.
That eBay store also has the balltop stick for PacMan looks nice
He sells some great stuff!
One more thing. The Zero Delay boards you're using? focusattack.com sells one with cables fitted for Happ.
Yea, I found that later lol. Amazon sells them too amzn.to/361IuCu
I'm having a problem with foreword jumps and crouching. Ugh 2 months and still not 100% ugh
Hmm...did you mount your joystick even? Thats the only thing I can think that could be wrong. Beyond that, maybe replace the microswitches for the directions that are giving you trouble. I'm still relatively new at this, it was my first time installing a joystick. I used to work in an arcade for several years so I got familiar with how it worked.
@@KillerArcadeGames yeah dead center of the hole. I just tested it with super metroid for snes and no up right and no down left. Need to check wiring to see if it is 100 % right but ugh
@@cColinEigenmann Thats an odd problem. I'd double check the wiring like you said. Is it Happ?
So the wires dont come with the kit???
Wires do come with the USB encoder board, but not the button kit from eBay.
@@KillerArcadeGames Thanks
Hey i just bought the happ joysticks but it doesnt come wth anything, do i need to buy the usb encoder just to use the joysticks? Or can i just plug and play with the existing wires?
No wires are included in the kit I got. If you want to use them you'll probably have to get the USB encoder which means you'll need a PC or Raspberry Pi to run games.
So the joystick has 4 hookups?? Each move (up,down,left,right) has to be put on the encoder board? They go to the top right? opposite side of the buttons??!?!? Man u did an excellent job!!!
Yea, 4 microswitches per joystick. The USB board has specific ports for up, down, left and right. Its a little confusing at first since its kind of backwards when you're wiring it up. You have to be sure to test it before closing it all up lol.
I dig HAPP sticks- I find the Sanwa and Seimitsu's a bit flimsy. I haven't tried the Korean sticks which seem like an amalgamation of the different styles from what little I've seen. I do prefer Sanwa buttons, though.
These HAPP sticks are 1000% better than the stock ones that came on it. I couldn't pull off any special moves on Street Fighter. Sanwa's are good, I wanted the original look though.
Those are Suzo-Happ joysticks. The original iL/Happ (eurostick) joysticks has matching dust covers.

Good Stuff!
Thanks!
your video was mega helpful..Thanks for posting. I have been wanting to try the happ joysticks because some of the old school games don't seem to be user friendly with the sanwa joysticks..meaning games like paceman and Popeye, and original punch out don't seem to respond well when moving in the diagonal or straight side to side motion...So I'm hoping the happ ones work much better.
Thanks again
I'm glad it was helpful! I've played PacMan with these sticks and it feels pretty good and responsive.
It's the difference in gates. Octagonal gate worked best for all games to my liking. Square gate rotated to 4 way more works great for Pacman but sucks for Street fighter octagonal gate worked well for everything for me. Cost about $5 a piece. You can try others it a personal preference.
Happ is in ALL my cabs, can't stand any other.
1000% agreed!!
Yoooo I'm from Fortworth piiiiimp
Cool! Have you been to Tornado Terry's?
@@KillerArcadeGames woah like no, I gotta check it out!!!!!!!!
I believe happ controls were the original controls that were in the original Killer Instinct machines but I heard since then the buttons and joysticks that used to be made in the United States are now made in China and they're okay but not really that great at all so I would probably put IL Euro sticks Bat Tops in instead because everyone says the IL euro stick bat tops are a lot better than any of the happ joysticks including their competition ones which are their best ones.
These are the original controls for the cabinet, which is why I really wanted. I wanted to replicate the original as close as possible. I've never played on Japanese machines with the ball tops. I still think I'd prefer Happ.
@@KillerArcadeGames I didn't suggest using Japanese ball tops I suggested using IL Euro sticks which a lot of people claim are the best bat tops and better than happ competition bat tops but I understand why you picked Happ.
Technically Happ no longer exists, it is now SUZO Happ, not exactly the same thing. Suzo bought the name Happ, and makes parts in China. The old Happ became Industrious Lorenzo (IL) for short. The IL Eurostick is the closest thing to the old Happ sticks. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure these sticks are good, but if you want to be "as close as possible to the original machine" IL Eurosticks are the way to go.
Mikey J Productions thats good to know. These feel about the same to me. I really like the feel of the micro switches. I’ll have to Google the IL sticks.
@@ChrisCXK They "feel" the same, look the same, etc. But they are NOT the same. It's the actuator, the IL Eurostick uses the same actuator that the old Happs used. Suzo Happ's don't use them, they have a different one.
At the end of the day, they are both good sticks. I'm sure the Suzo Happs work great, but the IL Eurostick is EXACTLY like the old Happs, just a different name.
@@ChrisCXK This guy gives a good explanation of the differences. Hopefully this link gets posted. It's quite informative. Its NOT my video either, not spamming, just sharing info.

Those were not pliers, they were dikes for cutting.
By the time you're done messing around swapping everything, you might as well just built your own from scratch
Thats true. I just don't have the carpentry skills to build my own. It's also fun to tinker with these and it gives me content for the channel lol.
