This is great! Thanks to you I’ll be adding TMNT to my Simpsons Arcade. Please make a simple video on how to add a menu so that we don’t get stuck on one game. Im sure you’ll find a way to make it as straightforward as this one and that would be awesome!

Hey Andy! I'm glad it worked for you. Here's something even better though: instead of the APK I used in the video, try doing the same process using archive.org/details/tmnta1up for four extra games when you boot into TMNT! I haven't actually tried making a menu yet, but if I can figure out how to simplify the process, I'll definitely make a video on it. Enjoy!

Amazingly detailed and simple tutorial. Ive already tried doin the Retroarch thing but its alot to bite into. Im curious to know if that Internet Archive has EVERY 1up apk (seems difficult to navigate) and if i could just plug in a usb controller to play them...i know, i'll most likely need to mod the joystick board or buy a new one, but regardless Thanks dude! really helped

[@D3ADST4R_7]

I appreciate that. Thanks Andrew! As for using a USB controller, that's a good question! I would guess that the button mapping would be off. I don't think there's a way to configure it without any 3rd party apps. Interesting idea though..

[@Giansan26]

Are you able to add more games or retroarch to the tmnt cab besides the Simpsons?

[@D3ADST4R_7]

Yes you can, as long as it's the Turtles in Time cabinet. The original TMNT can't do it, as far as I know.

You need to buy a modified control board for it.

@@leesryan Haha! Oh no! I'm worried about my kids doing the same. I think it's inevitable. I know it's not the ideal setup, but it works! There is a way to add a menu that it boots into where you can choose which game to play. You make it "always" boot into that menu. It's quite a bit more complicated than this, and I haven't even tried to do it yet. There's a tutorial video on KZbin somewhere which shows how to do it. It isn't great, but it can give you an idea of what you're in for anyway. The guy in the video makes animated gifs in the menu, but I don't recommend doing that. It just causes more problems because they're an option to click on. If you read through to comments on it you can see what other people have done. There are other much better options. I've looked into it a bunch, but just haven't actually done it myself yet.
