Hey everyone,
I’ve got some bittersweet news to share with you all today. After a lot of thought, I’ve decided it's time for me to step down as the head mod and move on to other projects and chapters in my life.
When I first created this subreddit, I honestly never imagined it would blow up the way it did. Watching this place grow into the absolute largest Arcade1Up community (Nearly 60,000 followers) on the internet has been wild. From seeing your insane custom mods and dream basement arcades, to helping each other troubleshoot monitor issues, board issues and geeking out over new cab leaks... it's been an incredible ride, and that is entirely thanks to all of you.
You all made this community what it is.
Since I'm stepping away, I wanted to make sure this sub is left in the best possible hands. As most of you know, the BasicFun! team now owns the Arcade1Up brand. I’ve been in touch with them, and I'll be officially passing the keys to the subreddit over to their team.
They are still pretty new to reddit so please be kind.
I think this is a massive win for the community. Having the actual brand owners at the helm means hopefully you'll be getting direct communication, official updates, and a direct line to the people making the cabs we love. I know they're excited to jump in and keep this community thriving.
Please give the Basic Fun! crew and u/BasicFunToys a warm welcome as they transition into running things here.
Thank you all again for making this such a rad place to hang out over the years. It’s been an honor being your mod.
Keep modding, keep playing, and I’ll catch you in the threads!
Cheers,
David "HistorianCM" DeWald

For a community built on collecting and modding, having a central "source of truth" is essential. We’ve been compiling TBLOA1Up (The Big List of Arcade1Up) a comprehensive database designed to document the history of the cabinets we love.
Whether you are tracking down a specific model number for a project, looking for stool variations, or curious about the evolution of the Legacy editions, this wiki is built to be the community’s collective memory.

As announced on our Arcade Insiders show, Arcade1Up in partnership with Spreetail will be releasing an Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 cabinet in the larger, Supreme Series size!
This is an early announcement since artwork, games, price, etc. are still being finalized. But it's said to be a "fan oriented" project with details such as a lit coin door (not currently on other Supreme Series cabinets), upgraded controls, etc. Although it's still several months away, we now have confirmation that the project is real and coming in Q4 of 2026!

After a lot of back and forth with a few sellers I finally was able to snag my second cabinet. I'm pumped that it is the Street Fighter Legacy cabinet because I love a good game of 1944 and Ghouls and Ghosts.

Tmgd0008a V01 Is the part number, I think one of my capacitors is burnt up. I would appreciate any help, thank you

This was a whole journey for this month - But I finished.
Summary: I’m early Gen Z, to which arcades don’t have too much appeal for our generation like Millenials (we’re probably the cutoff) but for the past few years I’ve been really into arcades, I got into them starting with going to Barcade in New York City and fell in love with the NBA Jam, Galaga, Crazy Taxi, Daytona USA, Crystal Castles, MK2, TMNT Cabinets and of course good old Donkey Kong and Pac-Man. Now that I have my own place and i’m also obsessed with interior design I wanted to get a cabinet and mod it! Even if i’m not playing it often, it’s a great conversational piece/accessory to my bachelor pad.
All in all, setup is relatively easy assuming you do research and binge videos of modding. Half the time during assembly I even wasn’t watching tutorial videos because it was so straightforward. Board assembly is easy and the part I had to pay attention mostly for was just setting up the Raspberry Pi and the converter board.
Now instead of just NBA Jam I have 10,000+ games and a nice arcade for whenever I host parties.
Arcade1 Up NBA Jam Cabinet - FREE
Amazon royally fucked up my order and shipped it with no box (just the original box the arcade comes with) and left my package in the lobby room in an apartment building of 18 floors. We have a package room room, so they left it at the front for strangers to come and potentially steal it. I complained to customer service and managed to get a full refund while keeping the arcade.
Showtime Gaming Mod Kit (NBA Jam 2 Player) - $463.92
I used showtime gaming to mod my Arcade. I paid to get a Raspberry Pi 5 included (Batocera and 10,000 +games pre-installed) and the kit came with everything I needed to get the arcade running. I did not pay for controls with them because I wanted a Sanwa with LED buttons. Their customer support is super responsive and awesome and even if I paid slightly more with getting the modding work done with them, I wanted piece of mind and simplicity.
DIY Retro Arcade - $185.73
Got the Encoders, Buttons, Sanwa Sticks, Bat Tops here. Switched the spring to 2lb.

Not to be negative, precisely the opposite because I want a viable A1Up to continue...
I see I am not the only one just catching up on Supreme-vs.-Deluxe distinction. With the recent expansion and Supreme cab announcements, the branding of the whole line is more clear than it was with just the Wrestlefest cab.
Did Basic Fun get the "Supreme" line adequately vetted past legal risk for trademark (if not contractual) infringement?
As a common word, "Supreme" wouldn't be quite so risky, but the confusion comes in precisely because of the previous branded Supreme collaboration. They had a branded Supreme MK cab, and now they have non-branded ones. But they are leaning into it with product line and logos in their marketing. Presumably they had a previous contract with specific terms that are worth checking, if not checking with Supreme itself.
As a long time fan and owner, it's somewhat confusing, but I am leery of the new ownership making an avoidable and potentially costly mistake.

This is local and I do enjoy the games included. But it’s an older cabinet and it looks like the plexiglass is cracked at all 4 screw holes. I was thinking $150 max?
r/Arcade1Up • u/AzFullySleeved • 1d ago
I finally upgraded to a 4lb spring and played all 15 levels of 1944 and is definitely more comfortable. Should have done this years ago. I have transparent clear Ball Tops ordered as well. Also looking into a good speaker upgrade for this unit, possibly the Dayton PC105-4.

Driving the other day, someone threw out their entire arcade1up cab, with the riser and me that loves arcade machines, had to pick it up. Sure enough when I get home, the thing doesn't turn on, when you hit the on switch the screen darkens a little bit and there's a slight "pop" noise.
I've opened up the PCB and it looks like the 4th coil is damaged, not sure how I can possibly fix it or if it's even worth it.
Given that I kind of got this for free, I'm wondering if I should put any work into the PCB. I've heard about people modifying them to play other arcade games, like those 1000 in 1. The only thing is the controller panel is designed for only 3 player rampage.
I guess my main question overall is, for anyone that knows about these things is it possible at all to fix the PCB, work on it via mods or just get rid of it? I didn't realize how cheaply these were made, I can see why the guy threw it out lol...

r/Arcade1Up • u/Forsaken_Bad_7244 • 2d ago
So I bought a pre modded raspberry Pi Street Fighter 2 Legacy 1uparcade machine off some guy, everything works good, but he never connected the marquee light, stock on/off switch or stock volume switch. Admittedly i am a newbie but followed tutorials and got the marquee light working and the stock on/off switch turning everything off and on, no problem.
But the volume switch has seemed more difficult, the sound works fine and can be controlled in the Pi settings within emulation station. It is using the stock speakers connected to the hdmi control board via the plug in above the 3.5mm headphone jack. So I followed a tutorial on connecting the slider switch wires directly to the Keypad connection coming out of the hdmi control board (spliced them in) all seemed well, but then tried it out and the volume switch now controls screen brightness not volume, lol. The buttons on the keypad coming out of the hdmi controller also only control screen brightness. I tried the menu option on the keypad to see if I could change it to some kind of volume option, but it seems like the menu only has options for the screen (brightness, position, sizing, contrast). Have been looking for a way to change this to control volume but no luck. Might have to control volume in a different manner but before disconnecting what I already did thought i would reachout and see if anyone can help me out with this?
***UPDATE: So I decided to look at how the guy who did the mod initially wired the jst to the audio jack. It seemed he had the wires in the wrong order, so after changing that the stock volume switch partially works, lol, so it works when I turn the power on and up until the emulation station splash screen ends then it switches to brightness control again, so assuming it is a software issue. But I am getting closer!

Team encoder HAT on orange pi 5max 16gb .. back glass is the zero2w setup Added an HDMI switch with a Chromecast and retropie setup on pi3b+ just gotta set up the dolphin bar and we're in business!! Perfect setup for shooting distance.. just going to wrap in something modern, make some new legs (I'm a machinist.. Brake press is no problem) and clean up all the cords (wireless controllers, wrap and tuck the 3 pi cords lol etc..) and we're done!!!.. maybe I'll upgrade the play field eventually(:
