[@jasonpatrickries]

Yeah, I'm having all sorts of problems assembling mine and all I get is a recording.

[@matthewvang71]

I can’t get my to turn on! Any ideas? I triple checked all the plugs and outlets. Turn the switches on and off nothing is happening.

[@DarkReturns1]

@@matthewvang71 did u fix it? If so how?

[@matthewvang71]

@@DarkReturns1 no I couldn't fix it, so I returned it to Costco and got a new one. Sorry I couldn't be of help.

Buy any of their games at Walmart. Pay the 16 bucks for the two year warranty and keep the box. My game was doa. I called customer service they wanted a picture, then a video. Its faster to take it back and swap it out. You have been warned. I am not going to mention how I had to upgrade my joystick for a better one.

[@commodoresixfour7478]

I just took apart the monitor out of a golden tee classic and the back is all scratched up, like it was used. Sort of like they were trying to hide serial numbers. I had to break a warranty sticker to see this.

[@Heisaparanoidschizophrenic]

Got my kids the T2 version for Christmas and it's practically brand new. In the middle of playing with my husband yesterday it just started glitching and now won't turn on, it just makes a crackling sound .

[@nothinglessthanepic9902]

I got Galaga in test mode A by hold all the buttons then turning it on at the same time. I got it into test mode B by holding all the buttons and joystick left at the same time then turning it on. Both modes require you the have the volume switch in the center before you turn it on, then when it asks to test it go left first then all the way right. My problem is before I did the test modes neither game would load. Now after doing both modes Galaxian loads and plays. I am able to select the games but only one loads now. Does anyone know what to do to correct this problem? *Update* Since I did the tests I got both games to work but most of the time I turn it on they don't work. I found that if I keep turning if off and on each time changing the position of the volume key eventually both games work. Sometimes only Galaxian works. When Galaga works they both work. I know the PCB is bad but not completely or it could have something to do with the volume switch. I don't have either to test to see what one is bad for sure. 1up are complete thieves with their prices and shipping. If anyone can please at least tell me what to do to completely fix it or donate a PCB or controller board to help other people solve this problem without getting hit over the head by 1up please let me know. I know theirs many other people having this problem and if you call them with it they do nothing but tell you to buy a new PCB no matter how nice you are so please help me help everyone because they refuse.

[@nothinglessthanepic9902]

I have Galaga that turns on but when I try to start one of the two games it displays the instructions, I hit player one and it just goes back to the game selection screen. Any ideas?

[@GregsGameRoom]

Loose wire maybe? Dunno.

[@shylynnwolfgang1183]

Mine does this too and I cant figure out how to fix it either.

[@christine61391]

My pacman machine does the same thing. I have finally taken it apart and all the wires are connected. Ive unplugged and plugged everything back in... nothing has worked.. only toggles between the game selection and player selection screens.

[@PaigeNickoleRomano]

My Centipede is doing that now if anyone found a solution 🙏🏼

3:00 except that 5 years later, this 200$ cabinet is now 600$ with the same cheap buttons. 3:30 i agree with the wood though 5:35 the "gautnlet" mispell means you have an old version that stops at level 36 in one game

[@SharpnessSword]

I found my 1up arcade in the trash in the rain. Wire broke inside somehow, can't wait to fix it, however the side walls of it are swelling from water rip

[@bosconibbles6777]

How about blurry screen ? On all games as well . I have mortal combat with defender and 10 other .. I moved . Plugged in everything was fine .. then a month later issues. it’s hardly used .. I now have blurry screen with lines on all games

[@BongzillaBrutus]

My 1up arcade just has a black screen when i turn it on. Its the Mortal Kombat cabinet and i was tild that if i left it on a few days it would work again and that did work fir a month but it went straight to the black screen again. I called 1up but because my mom cant find the digital reciept they wont help me. It was great for about 6 months but its just sat in my corner for a year now after paying $300 plus. It cant be a complicated fix but I haveny found a solution. Can you help?

[@GregsGameRoom]

Put a Raspberry Pi in it. I have videos that show how

[@BongzillaBrutus]

@@GregsGameRoom Actually man i was just looking to see about lutting my playstation classic in it instead. Any videos on that by chance? I want to pi too but dont have one atm but i have the modded playstation classic sitting right next to it

What are the best emulators for fighting games? Street fighter, Darkstalkers, etc?

[@shadwell749]

I got a galaga/galaxian for christmas and just got time to put the thing together and it comes on but the game wont load when selected.plus there is a pixelated section running down the screen whem selecting galaga.

[@JeremyBelpoisX]

My mom got us a Pac-Man cabinet for Christmas this year, but it wouldn't go up or down, so we returned it and we didn't even open Space Invaders before we returned it too. What went wrong?

[@GregsGameRoom]

Lack of quality control

Great channel! New subscriber. Do you know how to adjust the difficulty level for Street Fighter 2? I only see vids for MK2. Thanks!

[@NathanLeeJames]

Building my turtles and Star Wars now, but I’m realizing I won’t be able to get them out of the room once done due to their control panels (at least turtles for sure). Do you think it would be difficult to remove the control panel and put it back together for the purpose of moving? I’m not sure how complicated it is since I stopped assembling when I got concerned.

[@GregsGameRoom]

I don't have a TMNT, but if it's anything like the 12-in-1, it's pretty easy to remove the control deck.

[@davidwyhce5108]

Maybe you can help me when I start my PAC-MAN game the button works but when I tried to start it after the instruction screen and kicks it back to the menu.... any idea why? Do I just need to replace the PCB? Can it be saved? Please help

I just got Pac-Man and I can’t get player 2 to work screen does not flip you know how to fix this ?

Someone directed me to your video. I've been having major online gaming problems with my NBA Jam cabinet. Since they did this last update and server maintenance a few weeks ago I've been getting penalties left and right. I've contacted arcade1up and codemystics. No answer. Please Please Please any help would be appreciated.

[@chadjohnson3736]

Can anybody give me a tip on how to fix the control pad because I cannot jump with player 2 on the Mortal Kombat 1up machine

Sounds like you have a bad joystick.

[@thedude2897]

Take the panel off and check the connections on the joystick and buttons.

Hello I just wanted to say I bought a new 1 UP Pac Man Game machine at Walmart and brought it home only worked 30 minutes now it will not turn screen on just makes little noise when I move it

How did you get Kangaroo on your Arcade1up?

[@wd8557]

Buy from Walmart, 16 bucks for a 2 year warranty, fk customer support just take it back simple as that.

[@MysticalRK]

Thanks for sharing a common issues and way to fix it, however there are couple more issue on the old Arcade1up models such as Street Fighter II cabinet has mono only speaker which some SF2 games that have Stereo won't sound "right". For those who lives in Europe, there's also own customer service to contact, if you need a replacement parts for your Arcade1up cabinet. I'm still awaiting for a clear protector panel for my SF2 cabinet.

[@GregsGameRoom]

I think there are specific country support lines on the website. Good point about the stereo. How did they let that one slip past?

[@yeseniavega1532]

Hola a mi se me daño el board saben como podría obtener uno gracias

[@joesyard]

My only gripe is the score not saving on all games. Can't believe they let that slide on arcade titles.

[@GregsGameRoom]

Yeah exactly. Although I think they'd have to modify the emulator? Not sure what is involved, I know some arcade games didn't save high scores.

[@joesyard]

@@GregsGameRoom The score save system is just odd in general. I have the Centipede cabinet. On Centipede it will ask for you initials for top 1-8 scores but only save if you get 1st place. Missile Command and the others do not save at all. A simple work around is putting a post it note on the marquee.... but come on

[@DarkReturns1]

There new cabinets save high scores

[@kristindieng1282]

Mine will save the high scores, but only until I turn the machine off. Then it resets to old high scores. It's really disappointing.

[@takeomack2782]

Nice video as always Greg!

Huge Canadian problem... Still NO RISERS available... Been keeping my eyes on Walmart.ca website since October.... Zero Risers available... Wtf Arcade 1up

[@GregsGameRoom]

That's crazy. I originally was going to discuss availability, but didn't know what to say exactly. So that covers it well.

[@DJ_Blaker]

@@GregsGameRoom I've messaged arcade 1up 3 times now about it with no response. Not sure why, they responded right away about my protector, but no response about the risers to Canada. Maybe Trump won't let them send us "Snow Mexicans" risers! Lol damn you Trump!

[@Thunderdome76]

i got mine on a end table!

[@ThomasGrillo]

Great advice. By the way, was that Rich Hall, in the IT clip segment? LOL

[@truhunk1]

Yes, it's not bad value for the money. But, It would not cost Arcade1up a lot of money to include better quality controls. That was cheaping out. And what makes you think a lit up marque would be so expensive ? A Chinese light socket cost less than $1 and a small piece of plastic for the marque would be less than $2. That's it.

[@FiLiPHRESH]

My new TMNT has sound but nothing on screen.. 😭

[@TheJungoexpress]

Same here. They sent me a pcba after 2 weeks and it didnt fix my issue. Terrible service . Mine needs a lcd screen

[@zediahtimmons9704]

What's a ram mod error?

[@DarkReturns1]

Seeing these for MSRP $300 and going on sale for $150 is a trip in 2021 lol. Just paid $650 for the "new" TMNT cabinet! Side note, I couldn't setup an online account. It kept giving me "error occurred" message after typing in my email. This is the same email I used for NBA Jam online, maybe that's the issue? Might have to call that number, thanks for the vid!

I'll bet you, you don't even have a real machine yourself. Not everyone can afford a real one. There's nothing wrong with the Arcade 1 Ups especially if you mod them with a raspberry pi, but with the way your brain clearly thinks I highly doubt you'd be able to figure it out.
