What do you think, do these types of modifications make these Arcade1Up cocktail cabinets more appealing to you? Let me know in the comments below!

[@tonybrown4985]

COOLTOY you got to leave it silver looks smart makes it stand out really cool 👾🕹👾👊👍

[@Rob.Coleman]

Definitely leave it silver, it looks great 👍.

[@royalwithcheese1768]

More appealing? I replaced my cabinets 17” screen for a 20” dell because it’s a better monitor , I made my own lit marquee because they need one and I swapped all buttons and sticks because the stock arent as good. The only appealing thing I did was install a pi3b and then a PC.

[@jc6939]

Yeah looks nicer this way. i have a question, no graphic card on your PC ? If not all Pinballs game is good with Integrated Graphic ? Thank you. ^_^

[@DJ_Blaker]

Looks great, love the mod and graphics, I personally would black out the silver trim, black vinyl it if you decide to change it, then if u prefer the silver you can always peel the black off, easier then painting and taping the monitor off for painting

[@boknows8936]

I kinda like the ‘pop’ the silver outline gives, but seeing how the rest of the cabinet is a sweet stealth mode black, i think painting it will keep it a continuous smooth flow 🙃 stay safe, 😷🦠 another awesome piece for your collection. Keep me in mind when you need to move a unit or two to make room for the new systems in the future 😉

[@julinyas]

This is super sick and I think the silver monitor bezel looks great against the black top.

[@atranfanatic]

That's a cool mod man. And I think you should leave the silver border. It blends in nicely with the black.

[@fretburner89]

Great job on this. Really makes me want one myself, but I just don't have the room for it.

[@cooltoy]

space is definitely starting to become a rare commodity in my house hold lol.

[@Authentic24seven]

Hey COOLTOY great video thank you. I have been waiting for modding ideas on this. Can you do a video going through the install and setup of Arcadia please? Take care

[@RedCGaming]

Nice I was waiting for this video. Im soo tempted to buy one now. Thats a big rabbit hole to jump into though

[@cooltoy]

it can become a slippery slope for sure.

[@janineharris3601]

Leave as is. You are talented for sure.

[@slimmdogg420]

Use thin black rubber around the edge of the monitor.

[@wokeupmens]

Cool mod, I'm almost done. I did a 19 inch diagonal monitor cause thats what I had. My woodworking isnt great, and i need some molding to cover my mistakes. Do you have a link for the molding you used around your monitor? Thx

[@cooltoy]

I didn't use molding, what you are seeing is merely the metal casing that was already on the monitor after I removed it's plastic bezel.

[@GamersReckoning]

Nice! What about painting the bez to match some of the logos on the side like blue or red?

[@cooltoy]

Cool idea!

[@naehpmil7951]

Hey cooltoy, nice tutorial. I got the street fighter 4 set up working on big box. How do you manage to exit the game? Any help will be appreciated

[@IM2WestCoast]

Walt a minute how do you use MAMe for genesis games to enable the mirror mode option?

[@TheBoyscoutscotty]

I want a glass top on mine. They scratch so easy. I'm thinking of putting my ps4 in it with a kickstand for the couch and horizontal controls with 20' do you think I can go bigger? Great job BTW looks kick ass!!

[@cooltoy]

depends on the aspect ratio you want to go with. If you want widescreen 16:9 then 24" is about as big as it gets. For 4:3 ratio I don't know of anything bigger than 20" available for purchase currently.

[@Green1up]

Omg I want this cab but the screen was way to small now I need to get one but I need help doing these mods

[@daved.5839]

That's an awesome build care to share that image??? Google drive?? About to build this.

[@cooltoy]

unfortunately I have no way to share the customized version of arcadia I am running.

[@VideoGamesNYC]

I just got the arcade 1up. I want to run my raspberry Pi on it. What are the processes to make this happen ?

[@justin12327543]

have you tried snes in cocktail mode i wanted to play mario kart but iv tried many versions of mame and i can get the arcade to work and some other consoles nes sega just not snes for whatever reason if you or anyone else has any idea if or how this can be done would be awesome

[@johnlowry2054]

I am curious did you create an access panel or have the monitor flip up to get inside the cabinet if necessary? I know on the upright 1ups, I have modded one and put velcro fasteners to take off the back panel and that works well, but accessing these cocktail cabinets with out pulling everything apart looks hard. Any info would be helpful

[@cooltoy]

I’ve not had any reason to get inside the cabinet since building everything. I can add games over WiFi so I haven’t had much reason to think about opening it up

[@snootlongbottom]

So for ps2 or dreamcast games could you also do the mirrored cocktail mode for those? Or is it just exclusivly for MAME. Thank you and keep up the great work!

[@cooltoy]

Emulators that runs in retroarch can also use the mirrored cocktail mode, but it's an absolute pain to set up

[@snootlongbottom]

COOLTOY I see thank you so much for the heads up!

[@cutabuvdarest]

What size is the under lay art

[@jesusbloodneverfails7437]

can u still just swap out ...just the game mod using the table as it comes in the box..without changing the monitor

[@cooltoy]

yes, I have a previous video showing just that on this channel

[@adamcampbell2283]

Do you have the instructions for updating to the latest version of MAME for CoinOps Arcadia 6?

[@cooltoy]

it's simply a matter of replacing the MAME application within the Arcadia folders

[@adamcampbell2283]

@@cooltoy Thank you. Which version of MAME did you find works best with the cocktail table? Excellent videos!

[@machineshadowclub]

could you add @COOLTOY a link for the mame version i been looking with no luck, predicate the video awesome.. .

I want it painted black. No colors anymore, I want them to turn black. I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes... wait, sorry got off track there.

[@cooltoy]

lol, well played

[@jrami223]

So i bave the coinops image when i hit tab i get a different ui dont have cocktail setting do i have to change the emulator?

[@cooltoy]

yes, only certain versions of MAME support the cocktail mode. You'll need to find the MAME folder within coin ops and replace the MAME application that is there, with one that supports the cocktail mode

[@machineshadowclub]

What version of Mame does it? Could post the link for it, thank you..

[@justin12327543]

Black

[@plowking813]

sexy, love the upgrade!

[@cooltoy]

thanks! I really am enjoying the larger screen, makes these games even more enjoyable with the bigger playfield.

[@ThousanWhite]

Man how the fuck do people like you figure how to do any of this shit? It boggles my mind. I wouldn't know how to start any of this. I have to assume it runs in the family somehow because people just don't automatically figure out how to make things like this so well!

[@cooltoy]

lol it definitely does not run in my family. All my tech and modding skills are self taught. Everything is just trial and error and then slowly but surely you can begin to work out these things and how to do them. Just takes time and practice.

[@UGCTV1]

paint it black!

[@ien2023]

He could of just got a black Pacman cocktail for the same price and modded from there..

[@cooltoy]

except I only paid $250 for my cocktail cabinet and I specifically wanted the cocktail cabinet that had 6 buttons already

[@StartersofRage]

You're forgetting that Pacman doesn't come with 6 buttons which is what a lot of the games that he plays need that are not just dependent on 2. This saves him from extra work and just a quick button swap.

[@brickrod]

The graphics look so awesome and buttons look way better. Great video as always very entertaining especially in these times.

[@cooltoy]

Glad you like them!

[@fahriakalin5936]

sharp. I bought the pac-man cocktail, I'm not modding it but I agree, the 17-inch screen is slightly too small.

[@cooltoy]

yea the 17" monitor had me lurching over the cabinet more to see the games better and it was a becoming a uncomfortable for long sessions with my height.

[@PlanetGeekdom]

Would you be willing to upload your mame cfg folder (settings- inis). I assume you’ve already adjusted each game for the cocktail. Great job

[@cooltoy]

I gave this machine away a long time ago sorry

[@lupohki]

Was the 24" monitor you were testing 16:9? Did you consider a 16:10 monitor, which you could get in a larger size and have less black bars in cocktail mode? I haven't tested this in MAME or anything ... let me know if the numbers below make sense. I want to get a larger screen as well. Keep up with the great content! :) Original 4:3 is .75 Cocktailed 4:3 is 3:2 .66 (.09 difference) Cocktailed 16:10 is 10:8 .8 (.05 difference) Cocktailed 16:9 is 9:8 .88 (.13 difference)

[@cooltoy]

yea the 24" monitor I originally tested was 16:9 I didn't really look into the 16:10 because I was trying to keep the monitor spend price around $100 or less

[@thebrokebrick7755]

Subscribed because of this modded cab. Nabbed a unit on sale for $300 and will be attempting many of these mods! Great work!

[@cooltoy]

Sorry, I got rid of this machine a long time ago, can't recall specifics of the particular build any longer.

[@scottj.7639]

COOLTOY, thanks for all the great content! Been watching your stuff and a sub for a long time but this is my first comment/question. For this Optiplex PC, do you also have a graphics card installed or just what's onboard? Thanks!

[@cooltoy]

for this particular one I don't have a graphics card installed, everything is running from the onboard Intel graphics

[@indangerdogg637]

Ive been upgrading all my cabs to 19 in. mods...they're great looking...mostly dell.. tmnt, street fighter , Mk, and asteroids... lol

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

I mean I like the silver outline too. In fact I didn’t even notice it until you brought it up in the video

[@cooltoy]

i'm still on the fence. I've taped it off to paint it, but I just can't bring myself to paint it just yet.

[@lit_wick]

Here's a thought, integrate the silver. I'm watching a whole lot of pawn stars right now and I can see the silver looking really nice, especially if you integrate it into the theme. Maybe replace the buttons and stick with sanwa aluminum parts so that they more or less match and ties the cab together.

[@bammaazz]

I'm using a Dell 2007fpb and I'm getting a "out of range" message on the monitor, any idea how to resolve this. The emulator doesn't have a 1600x1200 option which is what the monitor is requesting.

[@janineharris3601]

I love your table. I love a overkill the game all over. But is it easy to do for a person that is not so talented like you. I want to do one cheaper but easy for me to do. But I love it

[@janineharris3601]

Can someone do one for a person like me to do.

[@cooltoy]

Yea I love those USB ports on the back of this Dell monitor, they are very handy. I typically plug in my USB LED lights into those USB monitor ports when I install these monitors in the Arcade1Up cabinets.

[@williswong8296]

Not sure if anybody asked but do you have/need a coin button for the player 2 side?

[@pokesupplyco.9948]

Just got one today, time to take it apart haha

[@Dasrama777]

Hey Cooltoy, I'm getting my cocktail cabinet on Monday and Ive been spending the day researching and preparing for modding it. The big thing I'm stuck on is the Arcadia 6 customization. It looks like you are using the stock front-end and not the vert, correct? How did you get it to rotate vertically? And how did you add games to it?

[@cooltoy]

Yes I am using the stock version and not the vertical one. I rotated the image in windows by hitting Ctrl + Alt + and a directional Arrow. This allows you to rotate the windows display any direction you like. Once I did that I simply went into the Arcadia file folders on the computer and added and removed the files I wanted.

[@Jrm0724]

Awesome job. Black trim for sure

[@nephron9924]

I'm just in shock that your running this on integrated graphics and not a discreet GPU. I didn't think it had the horsepower to do that

[@cooltoy]

yea it really impressive how much these little optiplex computers can handle with the built in intel graphics. One of the many reasons I love using them so much.

Also is there a easy way to mod this without pc to play kid friendly games like Pac-man for my youngest two.

[@workinhd1]

Switched my Linux based cabinet to CoinOPS, cant get my N64, Wii, or gamecube to run anymore. Did you have to do anything to get it to work? Works fine on my much newer pc, so assume it is video card related.

[@UnclePinata]

Nice! Inspirational! I’d like to upgrade my Arcade1up SF2 H2H cabinet using a 24” 16:10 monitor, but keep everything else original. But how do I connect the original game board to the monitor if there is no HDMI, DVI, etc output? I see lots of info online by people who change out everything, but not keeping the rest original. Is that not possible? Or difficult/expensive?

[@cooltoy]

To use a non stock monitor and keep the original PCB is possible but way more trouble and cost than it needs to be to pull off. This is why people tend to use PCs or Raspberry Pi's to replace the existing Arcade1Up board.

[@flpennstater305]

Arcadia6 vertical or straight arcadia 6? Did you just copy your mame over as is from launchbox setup so the settings you had made for cocktail stayed? There are A LOT of games that have a cocktail option and i already set them up in my launchbox setup. Wouldn't want to have to go through that again.

[@cooltoy]

I used Arcadia straight and then rotated the image in windows from horizontal to vertical. Yes I just copied my mame stuff over from the previous launchbox set up I had.

[@johnclapham1371]

Great video. Very detailed descriptions. Did you have to remove/re-install the T-molding when you installed the new graphics on top?

[@cooltoy]

I did not, I just trimmed the graphic excess off with a sharp blade with the T-molding still on

[@nickgerula]

Can this monitor be put in and play the stock games or would you need to get an LCD upgrade ( as if you were to switch out the regular cabs)?

[@cooltoy]

you would need to get an LVDS to HDMI adapter board such as the Geekworm board to get the stock PCB to display an image on this type of monitor.

[@davidwyche9020]

Do you remember the dimensions for the top of the table.. Is it possible to put a bigger tv inside the table? I don't want to open the box if I can't use my old tv

[@cooltoy]

24" is I think as big as one could likely fit inside the table top

[@cutabuvdarest]

So do you still need the VSDISPLAY HDMI Audio LCD Controller Board for this monitor

[@cooltoy]

nope, it's a straight VGA connection from the PC to the monitor now. I am now using the LCD Controller Board for another mod project.

[@laliepop]

Black or red.

[@flpennstater305]

What did you map each button to so it would work with coinops on these encoders?

[@cooltoy]

are you talking about which button # specifically I have mapped to each input or are you talking about how I mapped each system individually?

[@flpennstater305]

Ummm...both.

[@flpennstater305]

individual systems guess you would just have to hit tab to change if you want, but initially controlling coinops with these encoders are you at 360 controller config in coinops or default config or other...and I see there is a diagram on amazon on the encoders you used and to know which buttons you put to what labels. SE ST are obvious, but where the back was put that actually worked and the other buttons. Didn't know if the way you set them up initially made it work with coinops right away and didn't require re-mappin for individual emulators since coinops uses the same controls across the board.

[@cooltoy]

@@flpennstater305 I'm using the default config for coin ops. For all the MAME games I have my back button configured to "UI Cancel" in the mame settings to allow me to get out of all those games, and then for my RetroArch emulated games I have the start and select buttons configured as my hot keys to back out of those games. Pinball FX and Ultra Street Fighter IV both have dedicated Exit menu options within those games so I just select those with action buttons to back out.

[@flpennstater305]

What version of mame does it take to get genesis and snes into cocktail. I have mame64 but no option for that with tab in game. Do you just copy over the exe files with the new one?...or all the mame files
