FINALLY, a reason to buy Arcade1up's Fast N Furious. Great job as always guys. 🦊👊

[@BuyStuffArcades]

Thanks man! I believe you used to have two... lol 🙂

[@19kfox]

@@BuyStuffArcades I would've kept one if I knew about this awesome kit.

[@BAMGGAMING]

​@@BuyStuffArcades just curious, can I add games to the SD card ?

[@BuyStuffArcades]

@@BAMGGAMING If you know what you're doing, yes. We don't lock anything down.

[@BAMGGAMING]

@@BuyStuffArcades the system is locked . It says it needs a password for user interface 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@Lastjustice]

Very cool. I might be buying equipment from you guys later once I have the set up ready for the machines. I saved the website for the future projects.

[@MystiqEevee]

Can yall do a video of the sit-down conversion i am gonna build a cruisin world through yall eventually but i wanna know what kind of rabbit hole im going to be going down to do it and convert it to a sitdown

[@BuyStuffArcades]

The sit-down kit comes with printed instructions, but it's really super easy to do.

[@MystiqEevee]

Wouldn't the board being mounted to metal at 19:40 short something out? even 1up when they mount the PCB in the metal box thing they dont put it directly on metal anymore they used to back with the gen 1 cabinets but they eventually starting putting like black sheets of plastic and or plexi inside and then putting the PCB in metal housing Also if i wanted to do the light up coindoor mod from retro530 is this mod compatible with it and if not how would I make it work would i just use a USB hub?

[@BuyStuffArcades]

The beauty of our HDMI boards is they come with a plastic mount that keeps it from shorting and screws right into the A1up screen holes like we show. There is a 12 volts switchable port on the encoder board and also USB ports in the gaming box that can be used for lighting up coin doors and such.

[@MystiqEevee]

@@BuyStuffArcades so I have a question would it be more cost effective to just build one of your guys racing cabinet kits and make that into a Cruisin world with your driving box or does it make more sense to go the 1up fast and furious mod route and do it that way? I'm kinda thinking I'm gonna be spending over a grand either way I go so maybe it makes more sense to just go with your guys cabinet kit?

[@BuyStuffArcades]

@@MystiqEevee The modded F&F will be a bit less expensive, but our Racing Cab Kit is much nicer if you can swing it.

[@bssmith235]

Thanks for posting this! I can’t wait to get my shipping notice email from you guys 🎉

[@iamledd]

Does this version run any different than the outrun or ridge racer mod? Is it any better or any added games? I’m just trying to determine if I should get ridge racer for $450 tomorrow.

[@BuyStuffArcades]

The games list is similar between the two mod kits. The F&F has the 4 way shifter and more buttons and doesn't require an amp, so it's a bit cheaper mod as a result with a few extra features.

[@MystiqEevee]

Way to big of a hassle basically have to gut it down and for something that cost 600 originally its not worth it it WOULD however be worth it if you can find a broken marketplace find or something but for retail 600 price not worth it

[@BuyStuffArcades]

@@MystiqEevee Why does the price of the F&F make a difference on if the mod is worth it or not? Still the same great improvement no matter what you paid originally. Takes about 30 minutes to do and you’re 4 shifting Daytona :-)

[@MystiqEevee]

@BuyStuffArcades mod is 250 f and f is 600 mod costs more or less depending on what you need it's just not cost effective unless you can get the cabinet for a good price

[@BuyStuffArcades]

@@MystiqEevee What I hear you saying is that you don't think F&F is worth $600 - far enough.

[@MystiqEevee]

@@BuyStuffArcades yes Indeed I can't justify y'all's mod when the cabinet itself is so pricey 😕 if 1up would lower the price it would be beneficial to buy and put this in it as I absolutely need to have Cruisin World as it is one of the very first games I ever played as a kid so it hs a special place with me

[@BuyStuffArcades]

@@MystiqEevee Lots of people find good deals on OfferUp/Marketplace etc. especially when there’s something “wrong” with it - maybe you’ll get lucky!

[@BAMGGAMING]

Will the game have crazy taxi?

[@BuyStuffArcades]

4 versions of crazy taxi actually. Ff-games-list.buystuffarcades.com

[@mak23997]

To anyone that's done this mod, how do games like F355 challenge play? That game is a 6 speed manual game in the arcade. FnF is only a 4 speed. Do you just shift up and down like a tiptronic transmission or does it only run through 4 gears? That game also came with a clutch. I'm assuming since its the dreamcast rom there's no need to clutch. Really want to do this mod but a) loving my FnF cab so far and b) waiting for their pc build and hoping for FnF to be on there but the arcade version (along with many others hopefully). F355 was on of my favorites in the arcade.

[@BuyStuffArcades]

Dreamcast version is paddle shifting. Daytona uses the 4 gears though. F&F will be on the PC Build in a wide variety of versions.

[@mak23997]

@@BuyStuffArcades So paddle shifting means you can use the stick shift to shift up or down correct? Can't wait for your PC build!!

[@HollowBox]

Can’t wait for the pc kit !

[@itzvon]

So wait….you lose the main game? The games are not in addition to f&f?? You may want to put that somewhere on the order page and make people aware before they buy this.

[@BuyStuffArcades]

Our Mod Kits replace the main PCB - that is how it works. You can't run both at the same time. We have the full games list linked right on our order page. Our upcoming PC Build upgrade, however, will have F&F and lots more.

[@pc5440]

can we buy just the drive with the software or do we buy the entire pc? I'd rather not have to purchase hardware at a markup when I can build my own pc. It's the software and the encoder that I want.@@BuyStuffArcades

[@zackdreamcast]

@@BuyStuffArcadeswhat is the eta on the pc build (for Ridge Racer)? Any estimate on pricing target you’re trying to hit?

[@BAMGGAMING]

The original game suck anyway lol they're giving you more games

[@itzvon]

@@BAMGGAMING It May suck for you (if you’ve even played it) and that’s fine.That doesn’t mean other people don’t like it. I have bought several of these upgrade kits so I understand they’re giving you more games. The previous upgrades included the original game. You missed the point that someone new to mods may not realize that when they buy this it replaces the main game they bought the cabinet for in the first place. Some people want to add games to the game they like…like the Star Wars upgrade kit, it still included all the SW games. The main point you missed was they should notify people on the order page that you will lose the original games. Unless it’s a total cabinet mod, it’s odd to have all these games on a fnf cab w/no fnf in it.

[@shawnmc10]

Does the steering wheel have any pull or rumble with other games?

[@BuyStuffArcades]

Yes, lots of the games have rumble. They are all listed on our game list spreadsheet.

[@juangongora4200]

Awesome, and looking forward to the riser that's in the works for the F&F cade!

[@darrinmcgatha2027]

Quick question, If I do Mod kit will I still be able to do led buttons from retro530?

[@BuyStuffArcades]

LED buttons can be used, yes. Best to use buttons with 2 pin JST connectors like stock, and separate power for the lights. The 3 pin JST connectors on some LED buttons won't interface with our encoder board. (Or the a1up encoder board for that matter.)

[@darrinmcgatha2027]

Great thank you ! What’s ETA look like on the PC mod ? Looking to get this .

[@BuyStuffArcades]

@@darrinmcgatha2027 Later this year for the PC upgrade kit - don't have an exact release schedule yet.

Anyone know if it is safe to plug in a powered soundbar into cab using a 3.5mm Aux cable? Not sure if this can damage board

[@BuyStuffArcades]

What do you want to plug the soundbar into exactly?

[@bssmith235]

The female 3.5 mm aux cable coming from the F&F encoder board with the green sticker labeled “speaker”

[@BuyStuffArcades]

@@bssmith235 No, that is for the stock A1up speakers which are NOT wired like a normal aux port. You can plug the soundbar into the HDMI audio port directly. You will need to adjust your volume on the soundbar then, and not on the control deck.

[@bssmith235]

It worked! Thanks for the quick responses. Any idea when those multi-player linking kits will start shipping out?

[@BuyStuffArcades]

@@bssmith235 Very soon

[@petermacnab1871]

But you lose the F&F game .

[@BuyStuffArcades]

Until the PC build upgrade, yes.

[@petermacnab1871]

@@BuyStuffArcades any timeframe for the. PC upgrade ? Cost ? Under 1K ?

[@erinmatthews3983]

Can 2 copies this mod be bought for 2 FAF arcade machines, and then link the two together for 2 people to race each other?

[@BuyStuffArcades]

Yes, any of our Player 1 kits can be networked with a Player 2 kit and we have over 30 network games that can be played against each other. Here is a video that shows that and we have lots more on our channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f36ugoFtgNSfsNE

[@princevinny0073]

does it have the tecno parot rom of Fast and fierious ????

[@BuyStuffArcades]

Not until we release our PC build later this year.
