Responses from Game Room Solutions on product issues:
#1 They're going to replace any damaged boards with new ones (free of charge) - ALL GOOD
#2 The rear door just needs some adjusting and they provided me with the fix - ALL GOOD
#3 Riser Update: One is in development and is currently undergoing testing. I saw the preliminary pictures and it looks like it will be a nice complement to the cabinet. It will also be pre-routed for T-molding so that's pretty cool!
#4 I have not received feedback on my monitor problem. In their defense, this might be something I did wrong - awaiting a response from GRS.

I built my own cab from scratch several years back to run MAME. These look really nice. I have a tip I learned when I built mine. Don’t use glass cleaner on plexi glass. It will discolor the plastic over time. Use plastic cleaner which you can get at NAPA or Auto Zone.

[@RetroRalph]

Good tip... thanks!

[@KAUTIOUZBEATZ4]

Thanks 4 the advice fam I was just going 2 use some glass cleaner lol

[@xxCapitalPxx]

I have this cabinet, it’s sweet. For those mentioning the Widescreen monitor, I use a pi image that includes custom bezels so it plays all the games play in 4:3 and are perfect! Other than that this cabinet is sturdy, easier access to the back with the door to adjust anything it to get to your Pi, I’ve modded several 1up cabinets and you have to unscrew several screws to get access to the Pi in the back.

[@xxCapitalPxx]

Also my door does the same thing, it is weird...I have the black cabinet and mine had some damage as well, I went through the whole cabinet with a black sharpie and filled it in and you can’t even tell.

[@BIGOTEMACHINE]

Why did you choose a 16:9 screen if you will play Sega Genesis games on it?

[@snellsworld2648]

So your comparing a cabinet ranging that range anywhere from $329.99 to $1,000 depending on the options you choose to and Arcade1up that runs $299?

[@PC_TV_73]

Bryan Snell I agree plus who wants to do all that work,and the arcade 1 up still looks nicer,I also don’t want a heavier cabinet (to move if needed) and arcade 1 stands behind there machines (2 me and I have 5 machines)

[@gagnepi67]

Adding to this A1UP are "almost" plug and play. Don't want to spend ++hours building this!

Thanks David, we had a lot of fun filming that, Kim was a good sport. Thanks for watching man! I hope you enjoy some of the other content on the channel as well. :-)

[@ricosmemoirs9171]

From one who has done both an Arcade1UP and a GRS Level Up like Retro Ralph, each one has their own advantages and disadvantages depending on what you are trying to do. From my experience, the issue that happens with the 1UP's is that at first it starts with a very inexpensive purchase, but then as you start getting involved in the modding process, it tends to become addictive. One goes from joysticks, to Raspberry Pi, to bigger screen, to better speakers, to new artwork, to changing from PI to PC. It keeps going and going and going and all of the mods needing to be done need more tools and more tools and more time and more money. When you put all of the cost together, your time spent, and all financials on parts, the inexpensive purchase you were so frugal about just turned quite expensive. There's drilling and cuts, as well as forth thinking that need to be done, but one tends to deal with it as the rewards are pretty cool and you tend to loose track of how much you are spending. If you are playing with adults often, after some time, you have a sense of dissatisfaction being shoulder to shoulder constantly and wish the cabinet was a little wider because you enjoy the gameplay, look, and performance since you put the time and effort. This is where the GRS Level Up comes into play. It is pretty much designed for a custom experience. The artwork that Retro Ralph has is not something that Ryan provided as Ryan does not make artwork for the kit. He only provides the artwork that others build, so if the artwork was done pretty inadequately and stretched, then that's what you get as the design is for you to do your own artwork. As far as putting it together, yes it is more work than an Arcade1UP, in the assembly. On the other hand, other things are rather easy compared to modding an Arcade1UP, such as the control Panel. On a 1UP there is the dissembling process, new holes having to be drilled, and if you want to go with Suzo Happ controls on a Marvel or SF2 cabinet, there is more modding with the joysticks, where on a Level Up, it is Plug and Plug. So when all is set and done, it could be a wash or possibly cheaper depending on what you are wanting to do. I will say that I, like Retro Ralph, have had QA issues with the cabinet like the chips in the melamine, and it is inconvenient to have to wait for replacements and such, but the ending result is quite rewarding. For myself, since moving from a 1UP to a GRS Level Up, it has been a much better experience for me and all issues that I used to have on the 1UP such as spacing and sound, have been remedied on the GRS Level Up. I agree that it is not for everyone, but if you are one who is thinking about getting a 1UP to mod all the way like I described, perhaps the GRS may be a better experience. I wish that I would have known that this cabinet kit existed before I got the 1UP as in my case it is what I should have gotten from the beginning. Below is a link to my GRS Level Up cabinet with my own custom artwork, that I go over in great detail, including all parts and artwork available for download for anyone that is interested. You will see that when done appropriately, it is quite a treat. You are more than welcome to hit me up with any question you have on this kit. Just my 2 cents. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5yZY3V4er2Hos0

[@GODCONVOYPRIME]

Shill.

[@ricosmemoirs9171]

Just keeping it real. I wish someone would have done this for me. Would have saved me some money and time.

[@VaughnJogVlog]

The biggest problem with the Wreck It Ralph design is everything. If you’re going to have a design, needs to look like an OG machine.

[@retronaut8864]

The quality of the build is fantastic. However, I just can’t believe the blatant disregard for aspect ratio going on here. lol. I mean, the marquee is squashed, the bezel art is squashed, and I cannot fathom why they used a 16:9 screen because all the games are also squashed. I thought it was really surreal that there was no mention of this. I kept waiting for all this to be addressed. Did I miss it? May have. It’s just so bizarre and blatant how squashed literally everything on the front of this cabinet is including the game it’s self. 😂🤷‍♂️

[@butterpiggie9624]

I feel that too. It almost feels like a knock-off or cheap Chinese reproduction because of it lol

[@jpcrafton69]

The emulation software can control the aspect ratio of the game itself. You can set it to 4:3 if you like, and even add scanlines if that's to your taste. If you choose to use 4:3 (or 3:4 for "upright" games), you'll obviously have borders. Most emulators give you the option of having in-emulator bezels which actually fit the game. Would it be more "correct" to use an old 4:3 monitor? You bet! At least, it would for most older games. That said, the vast majority of new screens are, in fact, 16:9 instead of 4:3. Because of that, most modern arcade cabinets - especially those expected to be used with emulators - will have a 16:9 cutout, mount, and bezel.

[@underourrock]

@@jpcrafton69 Yeah, I would gladly have a widescreen with side marquee borders because if I play games that are widescreen capable, t would be nice to have the full screen for that. (I'm thinking if I get a cabinet, one of the first things I'd do is set it up with a RetroPie.)

[@boomerps2]

Just set it to 4:3 in the emulator. Not a big deal.

[@retronaut8864]

@@boomerps2 Yeah for sure, it just weirds me out that people don't do it. It's like some people can't see the difference? I dunno lol.

[@gregoryhobbs3368]

I would have to say, awesome! Only thing is fully done up with a pi your sitting at 800 bucks add the 22 inch screen 900, we are talking 2 fully decked out raspberry pi 1up arcade mods for that price, not one but two! So this is for serious people that want the hardcore personal graphics if you ask me. Can be done on a much cheaper scale.

[@davidoswald2155]

GRS cabs look great and I will probably get one in the future, but for now Arcade 1 Up is pretty easily accessible and easy to mod and its not breaking the bank.

[@L0rdEsedess]

+Retro Ralph - Thanks to not only your Videos, but also ETA PRIME, & a few other KZbinrs. I'm currently working on Modding my very 1st Arcade 1-UP. And, I just wanted to say Thank You!

[@TIDbitRETRO]

Why won’t any of these companies make a FULL SIZE reproduction cabinet? It’s literally just a little more wood and wouldn’t inflate cost. As a tall person these mini cabs are almost unusable, even with a riser. They look nice though.

[@quantumfx2677]

King cade arcades makes one, but its not cheap, but they are beyond any arcade I have yet to see!

[@Stormtrooper1787]

Game Room Solutions does make a full size cabinet.

[@MystiqEevee]

Assgames or rather @tgames is making one but who the hell wants to buy that companies garbage

That is awesome , I love that you can change the cartridges and play basically any Sega game, that will keep it fresh.

[@robertr392]

Love Golden Axe at the end there, great Sega Genesis game too.

[@rerungamer9919]

Just stumbled on this channel the other day. Great videos! Love watching these as I work on my game room / man cave!

[@eighties8]

Hey Ralph great video. I'm considering the GRC 43" virtual pinball cabinet which has a similar access latch door but apparently at the expense of a top access. Curious if you have any thoughts or experience with GRC virtual pinball kits.

[@diego147ify]

I just bought one of these level up cabs about a week ago, I was hesitant because I kept comparing the price of that of the Arcade one up, but after watching your video I know I made the right decision. People in the comments are right about it being pricey, but I think the ease of access to the controls, the back, and the sturdier materials and buttons are worth it. To those that say that you could have a full size for this price, you're right. I have a full size and it's great, the issue is that it sits in my garage because I can't get it into my house. This 3/4 size is perfect for a gameroom that doesn't have that much space left, and for keeping the wife happy. Thanks for the awesome review man! I'll be coming back when I need to build mine ;)

[@johndorian4078]

........well if it's just about keepng the wife happy with the least amount of space just get a rom and put it on your computer.................. It's too pricey considering you still need to buy a tv...and from the sounds of the video its not t o clear but the wiring harness sounds like it's not included either.....or the speakers or well.it's a 400$ cabinet???

[@schenoy1]

A1Up cabinets are much prettier with the original graphics.

[@rocknflip66]

Like what Ralph was saying...he loves 1up, authentic to the original arcades (3 to 4 games) but for those few games...he wasnt satisfied and his mind started to wander AKA he wanted to have alot of gfs ahem games lol therefore cheating on his first love lol

[@robertsnelling837]

i will stay with arcade 1 up cabinets simplier and better looking too

[@tokitone]

Hey Ralph quick question what do you recommend on using to connect a Xbox 360 to a Arcade1up using the joystick what usb encoder would you use? Thanks and love all your videos keep classic kim in the vids always nice to see couples involved in the hobby

[@jcchaconjr]

Mrtokitone if you want to wire up arcade hardware for use on a console, I recommend the Brook Universal Fighting Board. It works on Xbox 360, Xbox ONE, PS3, PS4, PC, and Switch. It has both terminal connectors and a 20 pin harness connector for easy wiring. For more details, just go to focusattack dot com, and perform a search. The UFB is the top choice for custom fight sticks.

[@MachinamaCaves]

I like the choice of putting something different in the cab other than a pi, pc, jamma or the usual stuff. I'm working on a unique cab myself that hope to show off pretty soon!

[@RetroRalph]

Thanks for noticing and please share your mod, we would all love to see it! Thanks for watching!

[@reaperjesse1210]

Hey Retro Ralph. The Level up cabs now have risers. Get on that review man. Looking forward to it! ツ

[@RetroRalph]

reaperjesse1210 Funny you should mention that. I have had it for a while, I just never reviewed it. It brings it up to a perfect level! 👍🏻

[@jamesburchill7522]

Interesting. Though the build quality is better, I think you are looking at two very different markets. A1UP makes a product for casual users who just want a Street Fighter Cabinet. No soldering required. Plus, if something is effed up, they just return it to Walmart or wherever. In my opinion, 1UP offers the best value, especially with the new Turtles Arcade machine. 4 player control board and stereo speakers. This can be easily be modded and will suit all your arcade needs.

[@TheBadTarot]

Hey Retro Ralph, I love your content. So much of this seemed alien to me a couple of months ago, but after being exposed to your videos, I'm learning so much. Thank you for all of your amazing work. Also, good job on the explicit warning about the dangers of electricity...it is obvious, but it's smart to warn the novices like me. Please continue to post this fantastic content. THANK YOU!!!

[@Charliemmafan]

I don't know if you've talked about it yet or not but are you going to buy the Golden Axe arcade 1-up machine or have you already bought it yet? I'm not sure if it came out yet or not but I see that you're playing golden axe on this Wreck-It Ralph machine so I was just curious.

[@scottboehmer1975]

Nice video. I have an Arcade1up Pac-Man cab and love it, but just added an Alphacade cab with Pandora's Box 6. It's actually not that much more expensive than if you mod out an Arcade1up cab, but I also went with a full custom look for mine. Both machines are awesome and I can't wait to add a Mortal Kombat Arcade1up cab when they come out.

[@RetroRalph]

I'm really excited about the Mortal Kombat release as well! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!

[@joeyjojojunior4886]

I built a bartop last winter using a Gameroom Solutions kit and using a Raspberry Pi in it. Instead of installing the amp next to the speakers I ran it under the controller board so I could quickly access the volume controls.

[@RetroRalph]

Good CALL !! I'm going to move mine, that's a much better option! Thanks for the tip and for watching!

[@AutoRotate1000]

Not sure if you mentioned it but How do you like hinges on the control panel? ;)

[@RetroRalph]

LOL... They're just ok ;-) Thanks for watching!

[@MasMeansMoreTV]

Great Video! I’m really considering getting one, but I noticed you mentioned you had to get the T-molding. On the GRS website for this, it says T-molding is included in the $379.00 price. Is that not true? Also, the amount of damaged boards you initially received was a little concerning. I hope that is not a common occurrence.

[@RetroRalph]

MasMeansMoreTV Ryan at GRS replaced all the damaged boards within a few days. The T-Molding did not come with my unit, however ... it’s fairly inexpensive. I’m really enjoying the cabinet so far. I’m looking forward to the release of the riser for it. I hope to get my hands on it soon so I can do a review for the channel. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.

[@KongsRUs]

What would you recommend? RecRoom Master 32in or GRS? I do see that RRM charges 200.00 for shipping.

[@ToothPIC916]

I got myself one of the GRS full size arcade cabinets about 2 weeks ago and even though it was quite a bit. For the quality it was WELL worth it. Couldn't be happier!

[@AllAboutTKK]

Well done video, sir. Loved it. For ease of use for customers going forward, maybe you can suggest to the manufacturer, since you kind of have their ear, to suggest a selection of monitors that will work flush based on their VESA pattern without any modifications... Just came across your channel. Gave it a like and am now subscribed.

[@ThomasGrillo]

I nearly got the GameroomSolutions cabinet, till I saw how short it is, but that was back before the 1ups came along. Now, I'll probably revisit that, now that I've had a chance to throw together their mid sized virtual pinball cabinet, which is nearly done.

[@jackofalltradesllc2116]

Does the GRS cabinet fit the arcade 1up riser to make it the same height as the arcade 1up cabinet with the riser on it?

[@timothybowers2530]

GRS makes their own riser for this cabinet.

[@jeremykateren8853]

[@shplackalack]

The reason your door sticks out is because you mounted the latch receiver backwards.

[@ien2023]

I think he's missing the whole point. It looks like an IKEA built Arcade than an arcade. I think the graphic from the movie makes it look worse. You should have that cartridge slot where it's easy accessible. A1UP is small, light where u can move it anywhere.

rstang281 I haven’t reviewed that cabinet yet. I need to sell some stuff and sell it fast, so I can make room for some new gear.

[@willieloomis5958]

I would choose the Game Room Solution Level Up over the Alpha-Cade, because the Alpha-Cade doesn't have the custom art and lighted marquee options. I don't have either one, but the Alpha Cade looks so ugly to me.

[@rstang281]

Willie Loomis good points made. I am curious as to the quality of the controls of the Game Room Solutions cabinet, ETA raves about the controls for the Alpha-Cade. I would really like to see a side-by-side comparison.

[@heykool69]

I have cabinets from both companies. Rec Room Masters by far way better woods than GRS. GRS uses MDF and it'll split when putting on the T-moldings. Not to mention GRS customer service had failed on me when trying to resolve a problem.

[@Skindog0306]

[@jeremythevirushuang6303]

Nice content Ralph as always. Wreck It looks to be a bit more sturdy but the fact one would need to go in order to assemble is a complete turn off. Folks like us who are handy would have no issues but we still have to spend at least 2 hours to get it assembled. A1U takes 20-45 mins depending on your skills but I would think with all the buttons to wire yourself, total time I’d say is 4 hours. For that reason, I would buy it.

I still prefer the Arcade1Up Cabinets despite all the issues with the Cabinets. The Cabinets look more Arcade Authentic... Other than the Control Board. The GRS Cabinet looks to Robotic or some sort of a Kitchen Cart Storage Cabinet... PS You could always eliminate the screws that hold the Back Panel of the Arcade1Up Cabinet. Just install two pieces of Velcro to the top of the Rear Panel and you never have to worry about removing any screws...

[@cameranmanner4701]

Wow did not know that a Genesis console was inside. Possible to use a Everdrive? If it does work I wonder if you can buy 2 Wreckit arcade and change the monitor orientation on one unit to be vertical, the other stays horizontal and use the Everdrive to install games that fit the vertical or horizontal profile of each arcade?

to increase the holes, you could use a trim router with a small, trim bit from Harbor Freight.

The cost of the game room solutions arcade is to much for what's being offered. You're paying around three to five hundred dollars for a cabinet without a monitor and that's crazy!

Instead of comparing the 17" vs 22" monitor size during your comparison, I would compare the 17" vs the size of a 4:3 aspect ratio on a 22" screen since most people are not going to want to stretch classic games out to 16:9 / 16:10.

I'm going to get one of these someday and make it look like a Japanese candy cab. For now I have to stick with the modded arcade1up

Hey retro Ralph I’m trying to buy the gen 2 genesis to mamma from vector labs but their is no add to cart to purchase the item from their site how do I get one?

[@coldcoffeeMK2]

I expect to see a lot of these A1up's at garage sales when people get sick of them. Clearance and second hand Arcade 1up's is where the value is going to be had for modders.

I have the Rampage machine, I asked for a replacement board because of the Gauntlet problem. It has been 22days and no replacement board. Customer service for Arcade 1up is crap.

Where did you get the video converter?

[@TheKurfer]

Is that TMNT cabinet in the background custom?

[@RetroRalph]

Chris Anderson Yes... take a look at the rest of the videos on the channel. One of them is the TMNT mod video. I converted a rampage cabinet into a TMNT. 👍🏻

[@TheKurfer]

@@RetroRalph Thanks for the quick response!

[@djkizone]

LOL great intro! So how were you able to fix the back door? WOw Golden Axe as well!!!

[@thetoythief8940]

I give that intro 10/10

[@RetroRalph]

Thanks man... I appreciate your support of the channel!

[@DJ_Blaker]

12/10 lol. Priceless lol

[@theputnamto3468]

would you happen to know if the control encoder supports Dinput or Xinput?

[@rsoaker27]

WOW man great video....I just checked there site and it can get very pricey but worth for all the options. The million dollar question----WHERE DID YOU GET THE TURTLES machine????? thanks

[@underourrock]

I wonder if you could get a large screen protector film for the plexiglass.... Too many people in my household willing to grind dust across a plastic screen causing scratches when they are trying to "clean" something.... at least with the film if it got too scratched up, I could easily replace it. Maybe even a tempered glass screen protector, that'd be a trip getting one that large.

[@32189djsddk]

Subscribed! What do you think is better quality. Game room solution bar top or AliExpress tv box?

[@RetroRalph]

Iguana 99 Thanks man, appreciate the support! GRS all day 💪🏻

[@HManShield]

okay man that genesis mod fucking rocks

[@MurderMostFowl]

Do the speakers actually output stereo? My guess is no unless that’s a Genesis Model 1?

[@RetroRalph]

The cable I'm using outputs a RGBS video signal and stereo sound from the Model 2 Genesis. You can find the cable here: cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=372582279357&view=all&tid=1081685174024 You will also need this in order to send the video and audio signal to the LCD panel. www.amazon.com/TNP-Converter-Adapter-Upscaler-Connector/dp/B0177DG71S/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1551070946&sr=8-3&keywords=scart+to+HDMI Note: I think this is cheaper on NewEgg. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

[@danielwickman75]

Does that multi game cartridge happen to have Tmnt The Hyperstone Heist?

[@Frank_D]

Nice! I'll definitely consider this cabinet if I ever get that man cave.

[@PhatChanceAthat]

How much did this Arcade cost you in total? I Love Wreck it Ralph, so much my Wife and I used the Original Soundtrack at our Wedding and Walked down the aisle to "Wreck it Ralph", then walked out to "Arcade Finale". Plus played a bunch of songs to dance to, finishing off the Wedding with "When can I see you again". It was awesome. I really want this Arcade, it's Beautiful.
