Don’t you already have this on your Ridge Racer?Theres a PC buystuff version coming soon,you should have waited for that

[@PDX7]

I sold my RR to fund Time crisis because I had this on my SW can. After a year I decided I couldn’t wait anymore and I wanted to add this to F&F.

[@comronfouladi9583]

This is awesome, I would buy it but can’t justify losing F&F.

[@petermacnab1871]

I’m getting F&F in a few days and would not want to lose it either . Maybe when the PC mod comes ……..also since they are mostly console games there are mostly no high score saves and F&F and great local and online leaderboards and that’s a key for me to want to keep playing.

[@PDX7]

I think that’s the way to go through pc so you can still play the marquee game.

[@petermacnab1871]

@@PDX7 exactly my thoughts .

[@petermacnab1871]

@@PDX7 I also have that mod for my outrun cab already !

[@PDX7]

@petermacnab1871 do you have 2.0 or 1.1

[@grantponciano9386]

Man that Hydro Thunder is tempting, but still a shame they couldn't include at least one version of Fast and Furious with it.

[@PDX7]

I know, it’s a very tough call.

[@arcadetalk]

This seems to be a must for this cabinet since there is only one game on it stocked.

[@PDX7]

I agree Tim :) definitely the way to go!

[@atranfanatic]

Pretty cool you were able to mod your cabinet to keep it interesting. I am so happy I PC modded my Ridge Racer (did all the work myself as well as building by upgrading an old 2010's Dell SFF 7010 Optiplex PC) and I have over 100 OG arcade games running on it currently, but going to add more in the future! The thing with the F&F arcade game is the steering is janky in TeknoParrot no matter what you do. I tried to adjust it the best I could so it's playable, but it takes some doing to get anywhere in the game. lol Sadly Hydro Thunder still has not been properly emulated to run on MAME. So the next best thing to me is the PC version which is as close to the arcade version you can get. Of course it seems the Dreamcast version isn't too bad either. But I only add actual arcade games to my builds. Pole Position and RoadBlasters use a spinner wheel setup as previously mentioned here in the comments by somebody else. I kind of got them both to work on my Ridge Racer, but they are still kind of wacky with the steering. Mainly why I got Glen's GRS Star Wars yoke to play the driving/shooting games. (like RoadBlasters, Spy Hunter etc...) The Pole Position games I am going to make my own spinner wheel setup with a spinner and a PS1 steering wheel lying around. (still a work in progress) I also got the Yamaha handlebars to play Hang-On, Super Hang-On, Enduro Racer etc... Basically to play all the motorcycle type games and other ones like Paperboy or any other game that you can use them on. Of course here quite soon my T2 Arcade1up will be a full fledged PC modded flight cabinet with an actual '80's game running on OG hardware with the modded PC to run many other flight type arcade games! I really wish you were closer as I would totally help build you a PC setup for your racing cabinet. Sadly we are so far apart in distance. lol On another note I just bought a new radiator and thermostat for my '82 280zx Z car due to him getting really hot driving him to work. It's going to be over 100 degrees here in Arizona this coming weekend and I'm freaking out! (I have to shut my Z off while sitting at a traffic light due to him overheating) Anyway the Grand Prix GTP is still in the shop and currently having parts sourced at a good price for the engine rebuild. This one is going to cost me quite a bit of money. But after all is said and done I should have a solid dependable daily driver car for many years to come! Then give my poor Z car a break.

[@PDX7]

Hey Atran, I can’t wait to see your flight cabinet finished. This is going to be an awesome cab :) I’m glad your car is finally getting there man, it will be so much better when she’s back to your daily ride! Have a great night my friend 👊

[@grantponciano9386]

The irony is that the fact even the modders couldn't include fast and furious, they just increased the value of the 1up version because it can't be included. It's either one or all the other.

[@PDX7]

I might cash in on the pcb.. helps pay for ALP

[@robkrasinski6217]

The Wii Cruis'n is essentially F&F and the Buy Stuff box should be able to handle that.

[@PDX7]

@robkrasinski6217 yes! That would be a great game to add!

[@TheresaJohnLobos]

If F&F was on their I'd think about it but I like drift

[@PDX7]

I totally understand it’s a fun game, Thanks for watching and saying hi :)

[@RETROOBLIVION]

Over 200 games VS 1 Game? That's a no brainer! Love the game list on the box. I was sold on Crazy Taxi and Mario Kart!!!!👍👍

[@PDX7]

Totally worth it man! I don’t miss F&F at all :)

[@WWRNC]

I’d reskin it Crazy Taxi and be happy as can be! Nice mod Phil!

[@PDX7]

Thank you WWRNC! That’s a great idea :)

[@bozocalvinjr2134]

Nice job with this PD7 I just ordered 2 sets of the mod kits since I have 2 FNF cabs and I love all the racing games can't wait to get them soon so much mods to do lol

[@PDX7]

Hey Calvin Jr, that awesome!! You’ll love the way yours will play, I’m regretting not buying the riser booster it looks really cool. Thank you 👊 I’m looking forward to seeing how you like them :)

[@petermacnab1871]

Nice ! I have that mod on my Outrun cab but I am waiting for the PC mod at this point .

[@PDX7]

That will be great when you can add more games!

[@Triumph_or_Die]

You should re-skin this cabinet into a Daytona USA cab!

[@PDX7]

Dude that’s a great idea Sonny :)

[@bikingchad]

Can't bring myself to cut our RR but if I could pick up a deal on F&F this would awesome.

[@PDX7]

Keep an eye on marketplace:)

[@mak23997]

Great review! Been waiting for this. Couple of questions though: 1) How does the shifter work on games with manual shifting when there are more than 4 gears? Specifically would you mind testing out F355 challenge? 2) How does the rumble work with games that support it? I really wanted to do this mod but the fact that you lose FnF which I actually like, was a non starter. That's why I'm waiting for their PC build. I did purchase their kit for my star wars cab because you still retain those old school vector graphic star wars games, and you add a bunch of flying games that seem to work great with the yoke. Thanks.

[@PDX7]

Hi, the shifter works great. I’ll try it on F355 and do a follow up this weekend, rumble kicks in and is a great feature. I think pc build is perfect for wanting F&F to be on this.

[@marcusqbert8936]

Hey PD7, Can u maybe do a video someday about ur marvel pinball? Are u keeping it stocked or r u modding it? R u doing a Pinner mod adding games or just keeping the 10 tables? Are u decasing the Main PCB or the Dot Matrix PCB, R u adding Heat Fans like GIJOEL did in his youtube vid? What do u think of Rastalgas mod youtube vid also to move the celinoids closer to the J board to make them louder? Will u do any of these mods? Thanks for any info or marvel pinball mod vids u might do. I'm picking my arcade1up pinball next week + am very excited 4 it!

[@PDX7]

Which one are you getting? Marvel? I want to keep mine stock because I’m happy with the Marvel theme. I’m tempted to upgrade to a 32”, but I am planning on going with the ALP eventually and that’s why I’m keeping Marvel for what it is. I do have a cool topper for it soon :)

[@Justinski85]

Sabozs topper? I got his SW one for my pinball, and it's awesome! Totally worth it, makes it look 10x better imo.

[@PDX7]

@Justinski85 yes :) just waiting for it, I can’t wait!

[@Justinski85]

@PDX7 you know how that goes with Joe, lol. It's worth the wait

[@PDX7]

@Justinski85 it also doesn’t help that I ordered about 4 things too lol

[@scottboehmer1975]

I picked up a Buy Stuff encoder for Fast and the Furious but haven't installed it yet. Ultimately I'm planning on getting a PC build, although I'm not sure if that will be what Buy Stuff is selling or something I do myself.

[@PDX7]

It will be nice to add anything you want to your cab with the pc, never need another racer again :)

[@ToxcynArcade]

I dont think I can swap my board but when I get my cab back Il Definitely want to do the 19 inch upgrade.

[@PDX7]

I was going to ask if you still had F&F I remember when you lit the buttons up :)

[@vader86davedestephanis]

Man that looks great I did it on my RR but didn't realize how good it looks 19" I thought u weren't changing it but I understand if it doesn't connect, I am working on a super sprint cabinet but I think BS might be also enjoy your week

[@vader86davedestephanis]

BTW I only have 182 games

[@PDX7]

I’d like to see it when you’re done! Oh there’s a 2.0 upgrade SD card I think. Probably $25 on Buystuff, I wasn’t but because it’s been sitting I was afraid of selling to get something else in then I came up with a plan to upgrade current cabs :)

[@AEmceeMuzikForever]

I like the boot up sequence but not having some form of the marquee title playable is somewhat of a miss IMO

[@PDX7]

I agree, I wish F&F was included but I still went through with it.

[@thatbrianwallace]

Does the gear shifter still work on some games to change gears?

[@PDX7]

Yes, works perfect!

[@carlo1132]

Hi PhilO, Angel says she is sending you some pictures for ideas on what to get for the arcade, she says Loki will like it too. This is the mod I would do too, very nice upgrades makes it a killer racing cabinet.

[@PDX7]

Hi CarlO and Angel 🐈‍⬛ I have to send you a new one of Loki too. I’ll be looking for it :) I love this mod on here, I was thinking CarlO would love this :)

[@deepspace9958]

I play daytona off of my ps3, hooked up to a Logitech G29 steering wheel and displayed from my projector, which is on a 120 inch screen, its fun

[@PDX7]

Nice!! That is awesome :) nothing beats that!

[@GoldMineArcade]

I have a question PD7, if I have 2 FnF cabinets and buy 2 buy stuff boxes can you link them together and race each other? Great video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@BuyStuffArcades]

Yes, just get a Player 1 kit and a Player 2 kit and we ship a wireless router that will automatically connect them. We also have multiplayer linking kits for split-screen multiplayer.

[@PDX7]

Thank you Gold Mine Arcade 👊 Buystuffs wireless router will work perfectly:)

[@testeefly1909]

Where did you get your retro shooter kit for T2?

[@PDX7]

Hi, Buystuff has an encoder board to keep existing control deck or you can buy a 1 or 2 player deck with holsters a for lightguns to play all 5,000 + on Pandora’s box. Have you purchased Retro Shooters yet?

[@thequarterdeckarcade]

Already miss my Ridge Racer :) Oh well. I will probably pick up a F&F on sale at some point and do this mod again.

[@PDX7]

Maybe we will see one At Synergy:)

[@robkrasinski6217]

A solution if you want to keep F&F and Drift until a softmod comes out would be to have two cabs, one with the Buy Stuff mod and the other stock.

[@PDX7]

Great point Rob! There’s value for 2, maybe if there’s a great deal on a used one it’s worth picking up.

[@Excaidus-Metal]

Totally keeping my F&F cabs stock. They still work great together. Is your wifi issue from antenna or hard line into the cab?

[@PDX7]

I’m thinking my router, I saw your previous comment it doesn’t let me see everything. I think it’s 18.5”

[@Excaidus-Metal]

@PDX7 I was concerned my previous comment might come off too negative so I switched it.

[@PDX7]

@Excaidus-Metal it didn’t :) I’ve seen a lot about the size both good and bad. I think the 1up bezels are bigger and the XL being wider makes them look a little bigger than these 19”

[@QW.821]

Great video but confused why you got rid of Ridge Racer Buy stuff mod to do it again here

[@PDX7]

Because I had the SW racing mod and I wanted to buy Time Crisis and justifying the price I sold RR because I had F&F too. It’s a pricey hobby and there’s no telling what can happen sometimes, but both play awesome. Thank you for watching:)

[@cowboyblaze8767]

Its neat but I don't think losing F&F for console racing games is a good deal. If you could keep F&F somehow i think that it would have more value!

[@PDX7]

It’s a tough choice, but getting more games was a selling point. I honestly stopped playing F&F and just got bored with it.

[@TheBigb1973]

Its cool but i like my 2 cabs linked up to play other ppl. How much was the monitor? I cant find it on their site.

[@PDX7]

Hi, 209 here’s a link below www.buystuffarcades.com/products/a1up-19-screen-upgrades

[@TheBigb1973]

@PDX7 idk what's going on. It just days $0 🤷🏼‍♂️ no where on there to buy one.

[@PDX7]

@TheBigb1973 click on the F&F gaming box and just choose the 19” monitor

[@jordicami4904]

Works two linked cabinets with the games?

[@PDX7]

Yes if you upgrade for 2 player vs 1 player option. It’s just a little bit more for antenna

[@halfadozen6]

So you can’t play F&F on your F&F cabinet?🤔

[@PDX7]

Nope :) lol I was going to ask you if you were interested in this mod. Did you buy TNG?

[@videogamevegas]

PD7, Dude, I can't wait to install this mod on my Outrun. I got it last year, but my basement flooded and that took months to fix, then right after I had my injury, which was back in December and I'm still unfortunately recovering from that. Wow, when it rains it pours, but at least I have the equipment ready to go. Hoping in July or August sometime to get this mod in as well as the Buy Stuff Ultimate control panel and monitor for my Time Crisis (still have to build that cab as well). But it's SO GREAT that I got to see your video to see what I'm in for. I got the Ridge Racer Wheel from Buy Stuff Arcades, so I could get the rumble, and they wired everything for me as well, and cut grooves at the top of the wheel so it will fit in my Outrun. Those guys are SO COOL and I hope everything goes smooth with the install :) I bought this racing mod specifically for my favorite arcade racer of all time, Hydro Thunder. I do like Daytona as well. Thankfully Buy Stuff Arcades put the Dreamcast version of Hydro Thunder on their system, because that version fixes the dips in frame rate the Arcade suffered from as well as upping the graphics a bit and adding in 2 more amazing tracks not found in the Arcade. I also love Crazy Taxi and San Francisco Rush 2049. And you bet I'm going to try Micky Speedway now, thanks for showing that off! Here's the reason I think Pole Position is a bit harder to play on this, and all Arcade1Up cabs. I remember talking to Mario from Buy Stuff Arcades when this kit was first coming out. I asked him if they could add certain games like Pole Position and Roadblasters. He said they tested Roadblasters, but they couldn't get it right, so it wouldn't be on the system, and they were still testing Pole Position. But they did get Pole Position on, which I think is cool, however, I think the wheel difference between the Arcade and what Arcade1Up is using may be the issue. Pole Position Arcade uses a free spinning wheel, meaning it just keeps spinning without stopping, like a spinner. And as we know, the Arcade1Up cabs have traditional steering wheels that stop at some point, left and right. This is, of course is just a theory, but I'm thinking that may be the reason it's harder to play. Oh, and I wanted to give you some information David from Buy Stuff Arcades gave me regarding the 19" monitor. If you remember, I left a comment awhile back regarding my concerns about the actual size of the screen. I measured the Buy Stuff Arcades monitor from corner to corner and it came to 18". David cleared that up for me and this is what he said: "We crop the 64 pixels off the screens because all 19" screens available are actually 1280x1024 and they need to be 1280x960 to work with the Stock PCB and to be a true 4:3 screen. So when they are cropped the resulting diagonal measurement is effected. But the screen width is still exactly what a 19" screen would be." So yes, this is a true 19" screen. I like the fact that David understands this kind of stuff, so we get a fantastic experience. They do the math for us. One other great thing I heard from Buy Stuff Arcades is that they're working on a more powerful version of the racing box running on a PC! That means we can upgrade at some point and play even more powerful games! Can you imagine if they're able to get the arcade version of Fast and the Furious working on their new system? Then you're cab would be complete again! Keeping my fingers crossed :) And THANK YOU for showing the fan. I had no idea Buy Stuff Arcades recommends this now. I'll be ordering one for sure to keep my system cool. And also thank you for showing the shutdown process. I didn't know this. It looks like the way one would shut down a Raspberry Pi, which I have to do on my Donkey Kong cabinet to make sure it shuts down properly as well. I want to keep my system safe. And just a quick teaser, just for you. I should be dropping my new Donkey Kong 3/4 scale cabinet video review this week. I also mention the proper shutdown process for it. Thank you PD7 for all the fantastic content! I'll let you know how these mods go for me as soon as I can do them. Cheers! vgv

[@PDX7]

That really explains why Roadblasters was missing, Thank you for letting me know that it makes a lot of sense:) I’m looking forward to seeing videos from you’re TC and Outrun, these will be ultimate arcades :) It’s also good nothing ( arcade wise ) was damaged in the flood. Thank you so much VGV 👊 it’s great to hear from you my friend :)

[@JayPase]

One question: Does that mod have SpyHunter on it ? And one tip for you 👊 PD7: Pole Position 1 & 2 both have two gears = Low and High

[@PDX7]

Good question Jay, no it’s only on SW I didn’t even think of that.

[@PDX7]

Thank you :)

Hi. So what's the grand total of the monitor and the buy stuff fast and furious kit?

[@PDX7]

Hi Alex, 424 but here’s the thing we can sell the pcb 50-100 and the BOE 17” 50-100 could cover half.

Great upgrade Mr7, dedicated multicades are awesome in my opinion, from shooters to fighters they are all great especially if one has limited space.
