Quoted from MysteryEncoder:PCB overheated, common problem with the first generation of them. Contact arcade1up they'll give you some fuss about being out of warranty and still send you a replacement PCB. I highly recommend keeping the PCB out of the metal case as that thing just adds to the problem at the moment the way it was designed.

Thanks will do. I thought I left the back panel off, to mitigate heat. Apparently I didn't .
Quoted from Roostking:Thanks will do. I thought I left the back panel off, to mitigate heat. Apparently I didn't .
Leaving the back panel off may help some, adding some fans to circulate the air well also help, but the biggest issue is the aluminum case that encloses the PCB. When A1up sends the replacement PCB, absolutely do not put it back in that original aluminum case.
They were pretty quick about sending replacements IIRC. Couldn't hurt to ask, cheers and good luck!

Ultimately if I have to pay for one, I will, I want it back up and running then I just need to reload everything. Aluminum case off for sure. Thanks for your input I was pretty irritated when a friend of mine played it and I've been bragging about how cool it was and it literally died in the middle of him playing.

They won't make you pay for it, it's a manufacturing fault in the original PCBs and they just won't admit to it.

Been a big concern of mine. I had gotten one of these in the beginning and nervous to lose it down the road when they’re no longer being produced. Definitely going to take the advice here and pull it from the case.

There's good and bad news if we ever hit that point, starting with the good... we could technically replace the PCB entirely since we know how the software works and could do it relatively cheaply with an after market board that runs like $30-80 USD so still cheaper than a PC and we'd lose no functionality, in fact probably gaining the ability to run the AFM/Williams tables at 1080p with a decent frame rate.
The bad is ofc having to buy a new board, and the worse is that no Linux kernel currently supports the method I would want to use to drive the dual-display; basically, I'm saying if we ever got to a point they were no longer producing hardware and we needed an "Open-Source" alternative it's doable and should be relatively possible to make it a drop-in replacement as well.
The main limiting factor with doing this currently has mostly been not wanting to deal with LVDS output, a board that allows attaching to the other stock cables is relatively simple outside of needing a different external power source unless the current one was converted as well; it's something I've been thinking a lot about.
Any drop-in replacement like that I'd want to open-source the hardware schematic for as well (It'd probably be a "hat" that snaps onto an existing board to allow for plug and play) so that someone could just go to a manufacturer and produce it without someone supporting it.
Hi, new member here. Just got my Arcade1up Marvel Pinball machine and I want to add Zen Boards to it. Does anyone you have a link to download all the Zen Pinball tables? much appreciated!
I'm super late to the party here, but wanted to update my AFM Cabinet with the Star Wars, Marvel and (updated) Williams tables.
Of course.....those APK files with the updates are pretty much AWOL at this point. Anyone here able to provide me with the updated APKs? I'd very much appreciate it!
UPDATE: FOUND 'EM. NO NEED TO RESPOND. THX!
In case you missed it, all 3 of the pinball machines are on sale for $600 instead of their normal MSRP of $750. The official Arcade 1up site says the sale ends on 5/1. Best Buy has all 3 right now for $600 if you have points there or a location near you.
Quoted from hawkeyexx:I was able to get the three APK files from a very nice pinsider and I now have the pinball machine updated. Big thank you for the support everyone has given me .
I need the Marvel and Star Wars APK files. My machine has the new menu but only the williams games play. I have downloaded several copies and they are always he same "hash failed" examples. HELP! Thanks!
Quoted from gregh43:did anyone order the Dragons Lair machine? looking for some opinions about it. interested in it. but haven't made the leap yet for one.
You would probably be better off asking in this thread.

Sorry, imnitguy forgot to follow up last night... Will try tonight, unless you've already found a source?
TheFamilyArcade the one that seems to be most prevalent is (at least on the Williams v1) mounted within an aluminum casing, affixed to the back of the playfield monitor.

I picked up the Star Wars pin today from the sale. Looking forward to modding it with all tables. Have a spot where a regular pin can't fit so this will do
Anyone here have any recommendations for a 27" monitor upgrade that
a) works with a geekworm board out of the gate (no firmware patch required to reduce resolution/pixel clock)
b) works with all the marvel/SW/wms tables
c) doesn't require de-casing or any significant modifications to be able to mount it and have it appear like it belongs in the machine
The Team Encoder website recommends a EM2FPAB27B....but aside from satisfying requirement "a" above, doesn't really specify much else.
Thanks.

Not on the pinball but when building my Big Buck. I had luck with TCI, Viso and Dell 27” they worked with the geekworm. Just stay away from 4K TVs or monitors.
Quoted from Baxcade:Trouble in A1PinnerV3.1 Paradise!
Hello there. New to the community and digital pinball. So excited to meet more knowledgeable fans. I have 1up Star Wars and love it...so much so I was trying to add more tables via A1Pinner3.1. I have the right usb cable reco'd by Mystery Encoder and downloaded the 3 APK files via a link from a well-known youtube vid on the topic.
Everything worked smooth until I tried to dump the apks onto my machine. the SWP.apk works and the menu is loaded on my 1up. But I cannot get the A1Pinner3.1 to recognize the WMS.apk and MVP.apk even though they are in the A1Pinner3.1 folder next to the successful SWP.apk. Has anyone experienced this problem?
I deleted everything on my laptop and tried again with same results. When I get to Step 3 to Dump the Tables, the Williams and Marvel dumps give me a "ERROR 550 Can't check for file existence" message...but the Star Wars apk dumps on no problem.
I do see a message pop up and vanish fast on the second step in A1Pinner3.1 but all seems to work otherwise. I have attached a screen grab of that error. Basically it says "Hash could not be confirmed."
No matter how easy the brilliant Mystery Encoder team has tried to make this for tech dummies like me, I still failed! Any thoughts here?

Hi all! Having the exact same issue above. Launcher is functional, but the hash verification isn't showing. I didn't follow how this got resolved...
Would a kind member be able to point me in the right direction for the updated/correct WMS and MVP files? Thanks for the help!

Dumping the APKs isnt dumping the tables on to the arcade1up. It is for creating APKs on your computer from the tables already on the arcade1up. Thus, why Star Wars works (you already have them loaded) and the other two fail (you don't). You should just be skipping this step. Use the 3 buttons under Step 2 to actually load the tables into the machine.

That's my issue... visually I have Step 2 entirely grayed out with "Hash Verification Failed" despite having all 3 APKs on the computer (in the right directory that the dump points to). I'm still not seeing the install/load button. I did/do have the Launcher installation option in the GUI.
My A1up machine now has the new launcher active and my SW tables active... the MVP/WMS files aren't on the machine (exactly as you said). Maybe there's an error with the MVP/WMS APKs themselves? The A1Pinner GUI doesn't seem to "see" any of the APKs to give me the installation option.
I'm sure it's something very basic or wrong files... thanks for any direction!

Step 2 should be "Configure Networking" in A1Pinner, which has nothing to do with the APK files or Hash Verification, so something you are saying doesn't match up......Also dumps, installs and APKs are not the same things. I think you may be interchanging the words in your description of the issue, which is making it harder to understand what is going on.....
PM Sent. I will try to help, but lets take this off the thread.
"Hash Verification Failed" - it's an integrity check and it uses a 'hash' to do this unless you're using the versions of the APKs expected and they are fully intact they will not work, meaning the versions which are linked on the youtube video which is linked to on the team-encoder site are those that should be used.
Any others and the Hash verification will fail, preventing you from loading it because it's not the APK it expects or it's been damaged/corrupted in your download or transfer process.

Thank you all very much for the quick responses and insight! Great community and mod… got everything working this morning and looking forward to surprising the kids with the results tonight!
Quoted from sanctumwear:Can someone please let me know how to acquire the discontinued tables. tia
Send me a PM pls
Quoted from abitslow:I also sent you a PM
I think everyone who PMed me in the past few days should now be all set. If anyone still needs the APKs or discontinueds, let me know, cheers

Folks, v3.9 will be released soon! It's currently in pre-release testing by the Team! (They're amazing.)
Okay, so for those who may not be aware, there was a bit of a crossroads where the question was asked if the public would prefer to wait longer for the full functionality list of v4 (https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/arcade1up-pinball-star-wars-virtual-pinball-machine-/page/22#post-6867821) OR get a sooner release (dubbed v3.9) that would have most of the features listed, but without online scoreboard support (which would instead follow at a later date), and most (all?) who replied respectfully raised our hands for option 1.
v3.9 release may be imminent, so keep your eyes on team-encoder.com or I'll post here when I find that the team has released more info.

A big thank you to MysteryEncoder and the team for all of the work on this and sharing it with everyone.
Is there a way to easily tell whether you’re in 720p or 1080p? I’ve pressed and held the left button and it reboots, but both look about the same on the start screen. Thanks in advance for the help.

In the upper left corner of the screen it should say 1080P enabled when in 1080p.

Kongs-R-Us did a live-mod of Pinner 3.9... (I'm about 25 minutes in, so I'm hoping that it was successful.)
You can see it here:
(Mrs. Kongs-R-Us's commentary makes it... difficult to focus at times, but push through.)
Update: Looks like we'll be using Pinball Arcade 2.17.7 from apk.gold, so might want to get that to prepare.
Kongs-R-Us says he'll be preparing a more structured instructional video, so I'll post that when it's ready. Getting ever closer!
Pinball arcade as the fifth application on the A1Up.

P.S. I believe "External storage" is just a placeholder, and is not yet implemented...? (Am I wrong about that?)
Zen Pinball playfield DMD now mirrored onto the cab "DMD"!!
zendmd (resized).png
Tried out a prerelease v3.9 to test it... We're in for a real treat when the Team does the full release. The prerelease is already great...
DMD mirroring on Zen Pinball works great... Go into the main settings menu to turn "Zen DMD" on, then in the Zen app, go to options to choose the appropriate size for the "Dot Matrix display" depending on if you're running at 720p or 1080p.
The Pinball Arcade also runs well. I believe the Team said they're working on locking camera angle. (Update: new prerelease overnight has address this.) Like Zen, you'll need to export individual tables from TBA on Bluestacks into Windows and then use "manage tables" on the Pinner app to upload them. Don't try to play tables that you haven't uploaded. That hangs it.
The Team may have more tweaks before release. I'll post what news I see here.
v3.9 official release is out!!
Kongs-R-Us will have an install tutorial video online soon... Keep an eye on his YouTube channel.
(I don't know when those folks on Team Encoder ever get sleep... Amazing work!!)
Quoted from jonnyqtrek:Tutorial's up! Get modding!!
Looks like my weekend is planned out for me!
Quoted from jonnyqtrek:The Pinball Arcade also runs well.
How many tables have you tested out? I am curious how well these play. A friend has one of these so I am going to set her up with it soon and give it a test drive. Sounded like there were issues with ST:TNG and another table, but aside from that do they function well? Can you nudge with the buttons on the cab? Hopefully Pinball Arcade will get full hardware support soon.

STTNG works, Ghostbusters had ball lag in 1080p but it's playable. You can't nudge via buttons on the cab, it uses the built-in gyro for nudge.

Heh, it was honestly just about midnight by the time I threw in the towel last night, so I only tried Black Hole and BSD... Seemed fine, though! 
Will put a few more on tonight, when I upgrade to the release version.

Thanks for the info @mysteryencoder. I wasn't sure if the gyro was functioning yet but clearly it is.
Thanks for all of the work on this, I am excited to try it out.

I was wondering if it made sense to create a custom apron card with instructions on how to get to and use the newly added tables?
