Arcade1Up Pinball Why I Sold Mine

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

Hi Everyone, Thanks for watching and let me know what you think of the reason for selling my Arcade1Up Pinball Machines

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Had to pay the monthly Illuminati Membership Fees?

[@petergriffinelectricdrums4164]

I’m very Saddened…… 😓😥 you’re crazy for giving up your pinballs bro??…. What you said doesn’t make sense?? YoU had a Pinball area and you had a Arcade Machine area!!!!!! Now…..? …. BUT…. Hey it’s of course up too you and whatever makes you happy 😃👍

You made a good choice. Too many machines look cluttered, that’s where I’m at too. Great video.

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

Thank you so much!

[@EQOAnostalgia]

I just want 4-5 machines. Premium quality multicades with custom art. They cost more but they look great, are made with better parts and you can space them out to actually see one of the best features of any cabinet. The side art!

[@madeincanada1971]

Makes total sense. I have Attack From Mars as it has real pinball tables.

[@ubergeeksteve]

The main issue I had with A1U pinballs, was the lag time with the flippers. Currently I am dismantling my Attack From Mars, and making it an FX/FX3 cabinet. Yes it does mean I had to find a few screens, it's not just plug and play, some new boards, and a little wiring. so far though it seems to be a solid project.

[@boomerbob]

I’m 6’2” and 250lbs. I picked up some bed risers for $16 off Amzn and it’s the perfect lift for a taller player. No stability issues. I’ve heard wallymart sells them too, same price range.

[@EQOAnostalgia]

That's cool but it seems like it would look Jerry rigged, as in not premium. I hope their next shot at Vpins gives people more options like a premium model and i hope they ditch that shorter frame and terrible slant.

[@RichardBraeken]

Thanks for the tip.

[@kaput450]

Just sold my real pinball and have a makeshift virtual pin. Trying to make the choice between the arcade1up and arcade legends. I spent 10 years repairing the old machine, it was great but am over it , Maintenance on real machines sucks. What do you think of the build quality and plungers between the 2 machines?

[@mikeboss416]

I've got the Arcade1up Marvel pinball. I look forward to "altering" it to play all 30 tables . I'd love to take it further and get more tables on it, but I don't know that I'd invest the time & money . I'm a huge fan of emulation . In fact I've got 7 arcade cabinets (full size), 3 of which are PC/PI builds . Taking the time to set up a pc seems like a huge chore . None the less awesome video some great info. I'm in Toronto, Ontario Canada. I'm part of a local forum site, but the activity has slowed down . Not much of a community for pinball on there and I wish there were. Perhaps I'd take the hobby further .

[@werewolfradio]

I ordered one. I was going to mod mine for Switch. I have the cart with AC/DC on it. Can’t wait.

[@zacpanther6364]

Great video! I've got a question for you. I've noticed when I've used SKY on my TV the constant use of the SKY TV guide menu causes a screen burnout. So the question is do the tables on the Arcade 1up pinball machines get burnouts?

[@StLounatic]

I did the same, and so glad I did. For the height issue, I bought a set of Stern legs that line up perfectly on the ALP. No more hunching over.

[@belabillion2688]

JLS80, can you share the height of those legs? I found some on Amazon that are 30.5 inches.

[@EQOAnostalgia]

Much better option than using the risers people are suggesting. I'm sorry but that HAS GOT to look ghetto af lol.

I completely understand your point of you. I am almost complete with my ALP MOD. I made my own backglass too. 3 monitor setup and the VPX tables are amazing! Still alot to learn about vpin. Someday, I hope for a real pinball but price is alittle steep for the time being. Someday! 😁

[@EQOAnostalgia]

I want to learn as well but in a few years time the community will streamline the process to be 100x easier. Back when i first got into Mame it was a nightmare to configure the front end and all of the bezels etc... etc... but that's how it had to be done. I didn't bother lol. I played a bit on my PC but never made a dedicated cabinet until the process was streamlined. Now you basically get a Raspberry Pi or a PC, load it up with someone elses hard work in the form of a custom front end, preloaded with 1000s of games and call it a day. When that happens to Vpins i imagine a lot more people will start to tinker. Until then it's intimidating af.

[@CA-tk8yn]

It's funny. I am finally ready to buy a pinball machine and the Arcade1up AFM cab is what I will get. My friend had one of these and sold it for the At Games one, and now he's got the 4K machine. I wish the screen was larger, but this is the machine I played the most of his. I miss the size and chrome look along with the suppleness of it. I've watched my buddie spend what seems like about $4-5000 over the years. It's pinball, like skee ball. I think that's too much money, and now he's talking about a real machine that's God knows how much. I wish they'd release a machine like these but in a 32 inch that plays 1080p. 20 tables is all a family ever will need.

[@rushmore3927]

Like most blokes, I have the double whammy of space and wife (aka Minister for Finance and War). Already have a stand up 2 player console Box that I have slowly upgraded with all the latest consoles back to good old Mame. Always been a pinny head by choice but have about 5 favorite pinnies I wanted to have. Decided to bite the bullet and ordered a virtual pinball machine from an Aussie company. After doing the research I found this company has currently the best build anywhere,, full size 10 soliniods, Stern knocker 6 speakers and meaty graphics and computer hardware, plus a 43 inch 120hz play field. This will give me access to not only my 5 favs, but another 800 other tables. Price is way up there and current wait times are long, but good things come to those who wait... Company also gives credit when they can (lots of KZbin vids) to the makers of the virtual tables which I think is very important. Wait is killing me as here in Oz, we don't have many pinny parlors around any more and those open have 40 arcade games and usually only one pinny for old farts like me. Thanks for the great video and hope any aussie slang above makes sense.

[@ThomasGrillo]

Very sorry to hear you had to move the A1up tables. I've thought of selling mine as I'm legally blind, and can't see the DMDs, and barely see the tiny balls in Star Wars, but my family enjoys playing them when they come over, so there we are. LOL. I do have a semi DYI kit I built from GameRoomSolutions which has a 27" playfield and 18" backglass monitor, but I had to go with the near full sized DMD LCD monitor which carries the DMD stream. Can see that much more easily. I run a Steam PC in that one. Have plans for building a special table just for the Zacaria tables, though. Since Zacaria tables only support two monitors, my plan is to do a table with two 32" monitors. Both set in portrait mode. The backglass monitor will emulate the tall, and narrow nature of most of the actual real world Zacaria tables, and allow me to see those more easily. On the GRS table, the Zacaria backglasses present so tiny on the horizontally oriented 18" backglass monitor it's hard, if not impossible for me to see the scores. The bigger, the better, for the Zacaria tables. Glad you at least have the ALP, and the BitPixel on it for the PC side DMDs. Only wish the included ALP tables' DMD stream could be picked up by the BitPixel display. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Makes total sense why you sold. If you have ALP set up and working properly you don't really need the A1ups. I do have AFM and SW A1up along with ALP and I enjoy all of them. Without modification my A1up sounds much better and has better haptic feedback. Had to get external speakers for my ALP since the sound was so poor. But I love my ALP even though much more expensive since I had to buy a pc and pain to set up. But still worth it.

I dig my alp but like the taito and zacarria pinball tables .

Is that a possibility or is it when you mod it you have to go one way and you can't go back easily?

[@dieard1]

Can switch back to originals easy. You just switch the ALP on and that’s it. Pc is just OTG, you are not physically modding the table.

[@mleonard724]

When you have a pc hooked up to run fx3 or visual pinball, the pc is connected via and hdmi and usb on the alp. So all you do is change the channel input to what you want to play between original and pc.

And though I've had a myriad of issues with the ALP, it still is better than the ToyShock. I still do have my fingers crossed that if Arcade1up comes out with a Gen 2 pinball machine, they'll consider the idea they threw around, possibly giving Gen 1 pin owners access to an upgraded PCB. Maybe a bit of the 1080p action :) vgv

Because the screen sucks and you can order insane cabinets from the UK and AU? At legends looks fun to mod eventually, but i ultimately decided on buying a 32" from ArcadeLand, their 544 LED version. What i like about the ALP is it has the ability to play Shmups and it looks fantastic doing it. But i also want a dedicated Vpin without any sticks or buttons on it. Probably having a Plants vs Zombies skin put onto it, that table is awesome and i'm a fan of the series. I looked into A1up and while it has its appeals, that screen man... it's hideous and it's too dang small!

[@ToddRussellTV]

As we discussed directly, I was turned off by your original reviews for these A1up vpins. Just watched this all the way through and still wish you would not have stated toward the start you were "sticking by" those original reviews, because based on everything you list as disincentive to buy these over the next 13+ minutes, you do the exact opposite. Those A1up pins are all absolutely terrible (wasn't there one game in the Attack from Mars that didn't even work?), except for the artwork which is really about the only plus, just about everything else about them I have problems with from the scratch-friendly plastic instead of glass, the cheap backbox build, the odd width dimension that doesn't even feel like pinball, horrible playfield and animation graphic quality for the times (should have been minimum 1080p), crude DMD, this thing was DOA and I hope A1up never tries any sort of vpin again. Stay out of the vpin market, A1UP, because you suck badly at it. Were you "crazy" to let them go? No, you should have never bought a second one after playing the first. But I do appreciate you taking (a lot) of personal time to explain why you did. Basically, your knowledge and skill level in vpins -- at the time -- was very new and inexperienced. A year later, in this video, you seem to have learned more and see why it was very inferior. The Atgames Legends Pinball was comparatively a much better vpin, but even that has issues that require powering with a better screen (with 120hz refresh or better), more powerful computer and some better components, making it almost like you're building a better vpin than both of these. It's sort of a slippery slope and expensive to get truly into VPIN, but I guess the one positive from all of this is you did seem to learn from your initial experience. I just wish the A1up vpins were not so horrible compared to other options. I mean, it's like night and day difference between an A1up and a truly good quality VPIN. Sure, maybe A1up never wanted to compete in that market and maybe those that just want a toy machine that sort of plays pinball will be happy, but when they play something much better they won't want an A1up pinball anywhere near their gamerooms.
