With Arcade1up you can be up and playing Quantum in 45 minutes. No splicing or splitting wires. There's something to be said for that...

I think you hit the nail on the head . Playing these old school games takes me straight back to when I was a kid playing them in the arcades .
Glory Days .

Exactly they take me back to the time when life was not so convoluted and for a moment I'm reliving the happiest times of my life.

Yep you are correct I paid 2,000 for it but I am surprised that it has LG monitors in it so it should last.

Anyone have experience with this mod? https://arcademodup.com/product/arcade1up-mod-kit-bundle/

I've been looking at it for a month. Mixed reviews from some of the arcade forums but not sure if it's just people being picky or bad product. I just want something that is fairly plug and play to turn my SF2 into a MAME cab. I know I can build my own but I did all that with VP. This time I value my time more and just want it all ready to go for me.

I just played a pacman 1up the other day, and the lag wasn't nearly as bad as another unit I'd played in the past. Could be the other unit was running a pi, not sure. The stock setup seems to only have a couple frames of lag; pac man was reasonably playable. Not quite good enough for me but should be OK for the majority of people buying these things.

There is definitely lag, but not much. It's about the same as playing a modern console on a regular old LCD set that doesn't have a good game mode. Most people will never notice, but if you're used to oldschool games on CRTs, or modern games on GSYNC compatible displays, you'll notice.

It is a windows computer that runs it with a solid state hard drive.

It’s alive!! I used to hate these flat screen LCD monitors but now I like them just as much as my CRT.

I really like my 12k+ multicade I purchased with a 40 inch screen. It was $2500.00. (I had steering wheel and gas/brake pedals added for another $200.00 I think).

I never noticed any lag, but graphics are very noticeable. Centipede, Pole Position, Dig Dug, etc. not so much, but Golden Tee big time. This multicade has 18 Golden Tee courses on it, and after we discovered that after watching a friend play, that was all we played anymore.

Now all my girlfriend wants to play is the real Golden Tee, while I am always ready to get back to the multicade.

I highly recommend these 2 games, cost is about the same as one LE pin, but you will have so much more variety.

BUT, do like I did, and get the multicade first, and if you do not end up playing Golden Tee on it all the time like we did you will be all set for less than half the price of a pro pin.

I also have a “all in one” multicade. Spinner, trackball, 2 guns. It has it all; and that the problem. Game overload. It can take longer to find a game to play then, you spend on that game. Also with only one cabinet there was a fight to play the game you wanted at parties. So I now have the golden tee arcade1up, since that game is always in use. I like my all in one but I prefer a couple small cabinets over just one big one .

How many buttons would I need to add to a Pac-Man cab to make one of those 60 in 1 boards play nicely? Or would it be better to get a 12 in 1 board? I want to keep the cabinet lookin as close to original as possible. Or the other option would be a different arcade1up to mod.

You will need 3 buttons total. I only put them on both sides of the joystick because I play different games with different hands. LOL
If your Pac-Man has one fire button already you just need to add 2 more. I could have easily done this with making it all look factory.
Agreed, I’m replacing two large cans with 3 small cans. I’ll be able to play all the same games but now have room for an extra cab.

Glad you got it, I knew you'd like it too. Heck buddy people will come over and play it enough trust me. How does Debbie like it? I'm considering getting another maybe 2 in the not to distant future. Enjoy Who-Dey!

For $400 it seems like a no brainer....its nice to have options beyond pinball in your game room

Yeah that's how it is with Amy, she comes down and plays when people are here or when I move something new in but other than that not so much. lol

Shit u could almost add 20 of these for the cost of a NIB pinball machine....

I just don't get it, even after reading all these posts. If you want something smaller, it's more financially efficient and smarter to build a bartop arcade like this one. It'll run the games better, and you can customize your game library at any time. It also makes for a great family project.

Another reason is because many, if not most, of the latest releases are coming with custom risers and a lit marquee. I'm hoping to add a lit marquee to my Street Fighter, as I'm going to keep it a long time and feel it's worth adding some bling.

I agree but they want original artwork and a turnkey solution, and the 1ups do that pretty well.

Got all the internals installed for my 60 in 1 mod. Next to finish the control panel and make a bezel to fit the 20” monitor. Once that’s done I can work on a lighted marquee. Also here’s a photo of how I made the monitor mount.

That's an oxymoron for a community that is willing to shell out these crazy prices for NIB pinball machines.

A phrase rattling around in my skull:

Arcade 1up sit down driver

My legs and back already hurt from the thought of it, but my tikes that are too small for full size machines would freak out. Would have to link a few together for peace in the gameroom.

That Burger Time looks pretty cool. I’d like to get one just to have Karate Champ. 2 player duals on that game are awesome! Maybe I’ll sell Asteroids and get that one. No more room in the basement

Looks like Big Buck Hunter is in the works too. Any one know how much they will be selling that one for?

For the new releases as of late (especially the four player games), it has been $399 without the stool, and $499 with it.

I would guess Big Buck Hunter will come out at $499 when released.

Black Friday is typically the best time to buy price wise.

Both are pretty cool in my opinion. See how far you can get single player and head to head is well just head to head. Knowing the moves helps a lot tho. Enjoy!

2 Player is much more fun for me. Single player would get boring pretty quick.

Strike that, could have sworn it was a horizontal game.

No...

Or you could have just picked up one game with everything you will ever need that would take the same space as 2-3 of those.

I have the star wars one, and there isnt' any lag at all. Plays perfectly.

Who-Dey if you ever want to try a mame/arcade system I have one with over 26,000 games on it you can try to see if you like it. Play it for a couple months or what ever if you want.

That's the one I'm interested to see how it plays, if it's good then it would be my first 1up.

Not sure on price but I know I'm probably not gonna find a safari for 500. Plus it has 3 more.

Golden tee gets tempting since neo turf masters is my most played game on my neo geo.

I'm a big fan of the original vids and have collected quite a few. They play differently
in part because the lag time is different. That makes a big difference! I'd suggest
building a MAME if space is an issue and not willing to find & restore originals.

They seem pretty accurate to me, but what do I know.....I don't notice any lag at all....my guess is if u had an original u would definitely feel the difference, but for most people they would have zero clue.

Yes I like the play, you can play PS2 and some PS# games on it, has a track ball for Golden Tee and centipede type games. I would say the only drawback is if you do not know the platform a game is played on it could/would be daunting to look through 26,000 games for it. takes up no room and is plug and play so long as it has an HDMI port. I also have a PS2 controller and a keyboard that can be used as well for those games that need them to play correctly.

Frank Dux thinks it is

Bought the parts and all I had to do was put it together. Think it cost me $250-270.00. I like the Arcade1up's cabinets so I'm planning on getting my fav's and line them up.

The 1-up Star Wars doesn't have lag where the original arcade game does - when you blow up the death star, there's so many vectors on the screen drawing the tunnel effect that the game visibly slows down. When I played the 1up I specifically looked for this lag.

For the nostalgia set, 1up is fine. For the more stringent collector, mame or better (original cab) is fine as well.

In the case of 1up, I didn't really have a choice. It became available and my GF ordered it without checking because she wanted it. (Star Wars fan)

I did however refuse to remove one of the pinballs from the basement to "fit it in" - it lives next to another game now and gets moved when I have to take the glass off the game opposite.
