Jakks Pacific 5 in 1 mod!

[@JDPDoingStuff]

Awesome video. I was looking to do the same thing with one of my Jakks Pacific units! I was going to use the stick and buttons, but after watching your video, I may get a stick that's a little more 'Robust'. I love how they have the board labeled already, makes it that much easier. I'm building a bartop arcade cabinet and I'll be using a Dell 17" VGA LCD monitor.

Nicely done! I had a similar idea of repurposing a plug and play game into a cabinet. I'm happy to see someone actually made a video of a working machine. It looks great and looking forward to your future videos!

This is so cool! Wish I could get one of these stand up cabinets for my dad. You mentioned in the previous video how the video signal originally coming out of the Plug n Play was really noisy. I'm having that same issue now. Nothing but green and pink blobs all over the screen. Is there a beginner's way to fix this?? And info appreciated, big thanks.

Thank you so much for sharing! I'm gonna do something kind of similar by tearing a Namco game apart, but instead of putting it into a cabinet, just upgrade the buttons and joystick, swap out the RCA cables for some longer ones, and 3D print a custom case to hold it ergonomically. :)

Hopefully you make a video of your build too.

This Was A Really Cool Thing To Do, Love It!

Great video! Thanks for doing such a thorough walkthrough of the build and your method. This has been a great resource for me. Cheers.

SelfDestructow it’s probably the easiest way to assemble an arcade without having to go through any configuration.

Is there a list of needed materials?

[@ryanstroh2963]

Ok I was wondering what to do with my video slot. I have the jakks with ms pacman, pole position, galaga, xevious and mappy. My new project.

Is there a way I can just convert the Plug and Play's battery port into an actual wire plug?

[@emausdetiquicia6636]

They used to sell a Power Adapter for these plug and plays. I've got them in eBay.

[@thegamemodder2000]

is the video displayed clearly because most plug n plays were blurry as im tryto get one of the games graphics from one of these. not the one you have though, another.

[@jodyjohnson265]

How many volts 4 AA batteries are because I was planning on modifying my old pacman 35th anniversary plugin play game because it's uncomfortable

[@d3115uxor]

Well 1.5volts per AA battery…. 4=6volts

@@d3115uxor thanks I will do my research on theses grate plugin play games and poke around with them!

[@thegamemodder2000]

Is the video cable still composite not other cables like rgb?

[@d3115uxor]

Yeah it’s straight analog

[@thegamemodder2000]

@@d3115uxor why didn't you modify it to rgb to get better video quality.

@@thegamemodder2000 it was many years ago and the unit now lives connected to a super old CRT

[@thegamemodder2000]

@@d3115uxor I just wanted to know the truth if it's difficult trying to mod the video cables so I get rgb than composite on the spongebob 8bit TV game for me to redraw its graphics.

@@thegamemodder2000 if I recall, there is a JTAG connection near the chip that would give you a data connection. I haven’t explored this option however. You would have to solder wires into a JTAG interface then be able to connect to a pc. Good luck 👍
