Arcade1up Golden Tee Complete MOD!

[@RetroRalph]

Quick correction: The separate power supply is just running the CGA to VGA converter board. The marquee is running off a seperate 12v 1amp Power Supply as indicated in the video.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

This is one sick mod and monster job only you only have 1 game and with the original Arcade1up 4 of them ? Why did you not use other trackball with the original one is the emulation so bad compared with the original board ? What did you spend in total for this full modification Retro Ralphy Style ?

[@dwayneraimer]

retro--man I need your help with something-I bought everything you have on this tutorial and I want to hook this up without blowing my expensive ass board-Can you please please redo a video of a slower condensed version of the connections for your golden tee cab!!!-(not the trackball section), the molex connections specifically. I bought the power outlet from twisted quarter and heres the thing-no instructions. Which molex goes to which 4 pin hook up on the original PCB board? The twister quarter power supply has a 4 wire and a 3 wire molex and how do I know if I have the backwards on the board or upside down? Another question is I bought the red board as well I have have an additional VGA output on that board...Do you plug your VGA cable into "VGA out or VGA in"? Man I love this mod-and I am so determined to get this thing going. Also on my red board it actually has a standard 1/8 inch plug for a reg 12 volt power supply....Can I use that instead the separate power supply you purchased? Seems to power up with a red light-But not confident its enough power for the red board? Man I need your help-this is all I have in time of quarentine!. lol thanks again and take care

Going down a similar path. I would like to use the existing 1up trackball. Is there a 4 pin usb encoder that will work?

[@RetroRalph]

There probably is but I haven’t done the research on they myself. The GT Complete PCBs are quite expensive now so IMO, it’s no longer worth doing. It would be cheaper to find someone selling an OG GT. The boards themselves are now more expensive than a complete cabinet.

[@dudesarcade]

@@RetroRalph Cool Thanks for the quick response! I sent you an email with other details. Looks like I have to buy a new trackball which is fine because I want one that lights up green. Then I have to find a buddy with a router. LOL

After a little more research I dont think its possible to use the trackball that comes with the unit. So I found the same one you used but with USB. I will have to find a friend with a router to do that part but pretty sure this is the way! I will post with an update in a couple weeks after all my parts arrive and if I can get this to work.

[@fruitman7773]

Why would you want to take it back ???

[@pudelz]

So I'm going to be doing the same thing to mine this week and I'm wondering two things: 1. Did you ditch the "plexiglass" cover? I read somewhere it's kind of fragile but it was for other machines... Curious what's in store for me! 2. Is the power supply you used quiet? I got all the parts striped from an original cab (arrived today) and dang is that original power supply is loud! If it's quiet, I will order one and use the original until the other arrives.

[@pudelz]

Someone recently liked my comment which made me think I should provide an update... I made my mod shortly after I made my comment. 1. I kept the plexiglass covering on my mod... I left the plexiglass & wood control panel together when I made the holes for the extra buttons. No cracks! Please note though, from other posts I read up on, your experience might be different... 2. Yes, the new board power supply is much quieter than the original one I got! I would highly recommend getting the one he suggests. I also did some different things to my setup. 1. Made the on/off switch simulate a quarter being inserted. 2. Added a button to simulate $3 being inserted since that's the cost of a full game (placed it on the small insert that's at an angle below the controls) 3. Added a small push button by the arcade1up sticker (top/back) to access the operator menu 4. Wired a surge protector inside of the machine to a rocker switch power socket on the panel. This makes it look nice/professional back there and having a removable power cord in case I need to move it is super nice! My next planned upgrades are: 1. Find a switch that will fit/can be used in place of the original volume control so I don't have to go into the operator menu to change the volume and reset my game (at least I think that's how the volume wires work). I currently have the existing volume control switch connected with the on/off switch which I made in a quarter insert. If I can't find something that will work, I will probably drill holes for arcade buttons in place of these original switches for volume up/down and make a quarter button down by my $3 button. 2. See if I can't use the extra wires/plugs coming out of the board power supply instead of using generic wall plugs that are then plugged into the surge protector. That or get additional power supply like the video shows for the converter/etc. I do get interference every once in a while but nothing major... 3. Proper cable management inside. Right now, it's a mix between the wires just hanging there and zip tied to other wires. Haven't been too concerned since it's inside the machine and I feel like I'm not done with it. Once I'm done with the previous two things, I will be going all out on the cable management! Might also look into getting it to look more like a Golden Tee Complete machine but this very low/non existent on my list since the Fore series are more of "classic" golden tee than the ones that originally came with it.

[@pudelz]

I also bought one of those IDE SD card boards off ebay so I don't have to worry about if/when the HDD will die. If the SD card ever dies, I can just buy a new one and write the image to it again.

So trying to find a PCB is proving to be a little challenging. Also, do these boards typically come with a hard drive, or is that something to find separately? Can these even newer drives (with 2019 or 2020 courses) be used with your mod?

[@RetroRalph]

Michael Hopfenspirger I would honestly highly recommend you don’t do this mod. The system is not your typical Jamma setup and some of the parts needed, unless you find a complete kit with wiring, can be hard to come by. The newer courses use a completely different system that includes a separate IO board and cabinet ID.

[@biglsyny1]

hey dude great video...Quick Question, I recently purchased the Golden Tee by arcade 1up and love it but my only issue is that I never get full distance on the trackball when it comes to yardage. Sometimes even 30-40 yards short. Is this something that can be corrected on how hard I hit the trackball? Is this also something that was true with the regular arcade machines? Or is this just a not so good version of Golden and cheaply made. For example, if I have a 165 yard par 3 over water lots of times the ball ends up being short and lands in the water maybe 30 yards short of the green even with the distance marker well beyond the pin. I am wondering if this is the trackball or human error. I have been searching vids like crazy and you seem like you know the most about this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@dwayneraimer]

ya, take the controller board off and take apart the track ball. The rollers are probably not on correctly and could use some very light lube- only where the rollers touch the plastic ( not the trackball itself-otherwise you'll have a mess every time you play it) I would suggest maybe a little bit of thin greese or WD40. Then put it all back together being careful that when you're putting your trackball back on that the ball stays in the correct place and doesn't loose alignment. Good luck-hope that helps

While that was fun, I was spending wayyyyyy too much money. Now at the current prices, it almost makes modding cost prohibitive, at least for me. Anyhow, thanks for watching!

I don't know why people use cheap speaker with no sub. Sub makes all the different in an arcade even if you play Golden Tea.

[@BigReecey]

man I want golden tee

[@tekkietekkie]

It would be awesome if you could play it and win money like the old one

[@djm2373]

[@Victor-it6bv]

I have a 13 yo son and a 18 yo daughter. My son used to enjoy playing beat em ups like X-men, turtles , sunset riders and stuff like that. Now. Not so much…. 😕

It's not MAME though! Why mislead viewers thinking it's a good mame emulation, which you say doesn't exist?

[@RetroRalph]

I think you need to re-watch the video, I clearly state here that it CAN be emulated but the emulation is not very good. Not sure what's misleading about the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pl6mfGSHet-rmbs
