Hi. How about the neon lights power supply. How to handle to provide power with a pc setup as original arcade1up board has neon power supply. Do you get a 3.5 jack to usb adapter. If so how to power both sides of the cabinet The video do not show how to have both sides with each having separate joysticks and buttons to be connected to mod board Thanks

[@CollaborationNation]

Awsome mod all around! I installed Happ joysticks and buttons on my A1up SF2, but it wasn't as hard as this, since I just removed the plastic case. Btw, just sent you upgrade parts: bats, octagonal gates, and 4lb tension springs. Sorry it took me a while, had to replenish stock on the springs.

[@Cruelty77]

Another awesome vid mate. Would like to see pinball running on it as well which could be a good addition. Adding side flipper buttons and using pinball FX3.

[@cooltoy]

you may see something like that in the future on this cabinet....

[@IClavdivs]

I did this on mine. It works pretty well.

[@sandler743]

FYI. I went with the PC and video boards in the description. For others in the future you'll need a Displayport to HDMI converter as well as there's no HDMI out on the dell 9020

[@IClavdivs]

I ran into that problem as well. Also no WiFi card. You need an external one.

[@djnekroman]

Awesome mod, man. I'm definitely interested in picking one of these up now. I'd probably sit on it vanilla for a while, but with a mind towards modding at a later date.

[@nwo2cool]

It's better using a PC than the pi 3+ because the games doesn't run smoothly with the pi. Only mame_2010 emulator works perfectly on the cocktail, but 2 buttons on player 2 side doesn't work.

[@plowking813]

amazing mod, no more elbowing playing 2 🤣 this would be great in any living room/game room, compact/classic and would be a blast solo or vs gf/wife or buddy. Great job!

[@imissmycerealasmr1681]

Cooltoy awesome mod. You know I was thinking we never have seen you show off your full-size Street Fighter cabinet (at least I don’t remember seeing it) or have we heard your story behind that adventure. That would be cool to hear about one day and to see that cabinet up close. Keep up the good work!

[@cooltoy]

Very good point, I've only ever mentioned the story of that machine in passing. It's a doozy of a story on how I got this machine several years ago for sure. One of these days I'll definitely need to make a video on it.

[@Zehrfox]

Great video as always, I love how you try different things, and cover stuff others don't. I am currently working on several mods, and I love videos like this, they inspire me. I never considered a cocktail cab, but playing head to head could be fun, but I'm definitely stealing your mod ideas if I do, especially the legs (i'm 6'2")

Not sure about cocktail mode since I don't have one yet :( but a lot of those settings let you set a default mode for new games so you don't have to mess with it each time.

I modded my SF cocktail using the pi 3+. I have few issues with it. I know that certain games that only works on fbneo, mame 2003, and psx does not run smoothly. If you use mame 2010, the games will run perfectly, but there's a problem, 2 buttons on player 2 side does not work. Can anyone tell me how to get those 2 buttons fix?

[@IClavdivs]

Make sure both zero delay encoder boards are wired up exactly the same.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

You absolutely DO have to use Happ controls instead of the stock controls haha. Seriously though, do yourselves a favor and upgrade those. I don't think I've seen one of these modded, very cool to see.

[@cooltoy]

Yep, even though its extra work to get the Happ stuff in the machine, it's a night and day difference over the stock controls and its soooooo worth it in the end.

[@Shirodx]

@@cooltoy Hmmm, I was thinking of keeping the controls in (Buttons or at the very least the switches have to go) cause they are ok I guess. But yeah it would be worth it in the end to at least put Happ sticks in.

Awesome video and great mod. I just bought the street fighter cocktail cabinet. Now I'm tempted to mod it lol. I like my cabinet i just wish arcade 1up would've used a 20 inch monitor instead of 17inch. I think arcade 1up should use 20 inch monitors on all there cocktail tables and all 4 player cabinets! I know that you and glen have friends over at arcade 1up .......maybe you can suggest it to them 👍😁

[@cooltoy]

the problem with that is no one is currently making 20" 4:3 aspect ratio monitors on a large scale, so there isn't anyone Arcade1Up could source those monitors from at the moment. They would need to find someone to make those specifically for them which would be a big investment. But I do agree with you, I'd love to see 20" screens used on all Arcade1Up machines moving forward.

as long as the PI image being used is using a newer version of MAME that supports the "cocktail mode" then yes you could easily go that route.

The Pi 3b is kind of underpowered for a lot of newer emulation and the Pi 4 has this irritating issue where the screen will not rotate vertically without adding some code to autostart.sh. And even after you do that and rotate the screen in Retroarch, emus that don't use Retroarch like Daphne or ReiCast will not rotate.

I don't know if anyone brought this up, but how about venting so the PC doesn't overheat. I know the other PCBs don't need a vent, because it's very low heat. But a PC would accumulate a lot of heat. Did you ever think of raising the table from the base to create some exhaust?

[@Mac1tx]

I have the same exact console table and was wondering if you can give me any tips on configuring the buttons through the usb conversion board. (still very new at this)

if you are configuring your buttons in MAME, you'll need to hit the TAB key on a keyboard to bring up the MAME menu options and then go to the input settings in there to start configuring and setting your button commands up.

If you do cocktail mode in mame on verticals does it split the screen or flip it when its time for player 2 to play?

either or depending on what settings you choose. If you want to screen to flip around like a true cocktail cabinet on the vertical games you have to turn on the "Cocktail" option under the MAME Dip Switch menu.

[@Freshmuffins2]

Do you think it's possible to take the PCB from the cocktail cabinet and swap it into the regular SF2CE Arcade 1-up cabinet? The controllers may need to be swapped out too because of generational differences. But, that doesn't seem to be too difficult. it would be sweet to have Darkstalkers & SF2T on an upright cabinet. Could you try it out and see if it works? Thanks =)

[@cooltoy]

Fresh Muffins you would need to have one of the newer monitors installed in the street fighter cabinet to do that. The newer PCBs use different cable connections between the monitors and the encoder boards than what the wave 1 street fighter cabinet came with, so it wouldn’t be as easy as just switching out the boards

One player sure, the difficult part is the multiplayer and then the split-screen. The split-screen the easier of the two. It's going to take some looking into. I would start with CoinOps and go from there. Now if you were fine with Mario Kart WiiU\Bigbox. The split-screen should be able to be done in the options (I'm not sure on this) and then you could use a couple of wireless 360 controllers or the deck controls I guess.

Unfortunately Sanwa 30mm buttons won't work unless you drill out the existing holes and make them wider. Almost all USB encoder boards come with a set of connecting wires, all you need to do it connect one end to the microswitch on each button and then plug the other end into the encoder board.

This is so amazing. Exactly what I want to do. I have a Ms Pacman that I just got from best buy...will all the parts you list be what I need?

[@cooltoy]

I'm not sure what the model number on the Ms Pac-man cocktail cabinet monitor is, but if it the same as what I have in this video then everything should work for you. If it isn't you would need to find a different LCD controller board than what I used.

[@sokey70]

@@cooltoy thanks, I grabbed a pic of the model number. How can I tell if it is the same as yours? Or to check the part number on Amazon?

[@trosell2010]

Do you need to upgrade the joysticks and buttons(I understand they can be upgraded for better) or will they work with the USB encoder as is? Thanks

[@cooltoy]

No you don’t HAVE to replace the joysticks or buttons, most usb encoders will work just fine with the stock buttons and joysticks

[@bryanzapata5440]

What abot the wiring? Can I just plug the factory cable from the controlers to the USB encoder or do I have to re-wire everything?

Awesome Video! Im sure you have been asked this before...Is there a a glass top for these arcade 1up cocktails? I just purchased this and Im hesitant that the acrylic that it comes with will stand up well over time, it looks like it will scratch easy, Do you know if they make actual glass cocktail tops for these arcade 1ups?

[@MelvinChristian]

would you be able to make a how-to video? from scratch? or walk some of us through? I think it would help us and your channel

[@cooltoy]

@@MelvinChristian nope, sorry. I gave this machine away years ago

[@MelvinChristian]

@@cooltoy do you have a tutorial suggestion that shows you how to install the player and the games? Any help would be awesome!

I thought you were going add 4 arcade buttons so you could map controls for N64 & PlayStation Games 😢😢😢

Was inspired by your video and modified my head to head table. I did ran into a problem with the speaker volume (very low) using the usb adapter with original speaker just like yours. I you had the same problem? If so, how did you fix it?

[@cooltoy]

I didn't have that issue myself, but if you want there are some super cheap Kitner amps available on Amazon that you could use to boost your volume levels. Most people use these for their Raspberry Pi Arcade1Up mods.

[@IClavdivs]

@@cooltoy I bought one of those kitner amps for my build, but I couldn't use it. It doesn't work with the TSR speaker plug on this cocktail. I still haven't found a good solution.

[@rixon2000]

I too am having the same difficulty. I mean we are using the same parts. Did you use specific drivers or did you just plug it in?

[@IClavdivs]

@@rixon2000 I think an external sound card is the best way to handle this. It was working when I had a Pi in my cocktail cabinet.
