THE BEST STEP BY STEP MOD HANDS DOWN ! YOU TACKLED EVERY STEP ! AND FOR YOUR TRACK BALL AND SPINNER JUST USE A USB 2.0 MALE TO 2 DUAL FEMALE JACK Y SPLITTER HUB, THAT WAY IT GIVES YOU TWO MORE UNUSED PORTS ON YOUR RASPBEEY PI ! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU MODDED IT !! I JUST SUBSCRIBED !

[@arcadepickers1682]

Thanks very much! Great idea! Boom

[@bladeblade2435]

Good tutorial but I suggest that once you make a dot on the plexi glass you use a drill bit just to make a hole that the hole cutter will slot into so it doesn't slide on the plexi and mark it. Unfortunately these aren't in the uk till the 20th of August 😔

[@frankiea7321]

Nice mod I just picked up the mk cabinet and am excited to mod it with a raspberry pi but I dont own a laptop so I thought about getting a pre loaded sd card... I see some people sell these pre loaded sd cards specifically for arcade 1up mods on etsy/ebay/ etc... etc.. I'm new to all this so I hope the overall mod goes well for me as it did for you and everyone else I see who has done this. Thanks for uploading this man good job.. I watch all the mod videos for educational/inspirational purposes... keep up the good work Liked and subscribed

[@superherorentalofarizona1837]

Thanks a lot and yes I've seen those preloaded cards even on Amazon for only like $99 so if you can find someone to do it on your computer or on their computer much cheaper obviously but the build is almost as fun as playing the game so enjoy yourself and thank you so much for subscribing

[@guy8475]

Since this video was made 2 yrs ago, wat raspberry should I get? The 4?

[@arcadepickers1682]

I would still just pay the $150 for the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ because the image that I used on this game only runs on that. If you are looking for the games I used check the video I have called modded to the max TMNT I believe the link is in the description for arcade punks

[@alienyde]

Hey man, question, I noticed that you had the off/on and vol button wires going on the board somewhere. I know you're not using the vol button since you have the amp but what about the power switch? Are you utilizing it to work with the pi?

[@arcadepickers1682]

I actually don't use the power button or the volume button on the control deck as you mentioned the volume is controlled on the amplifier and what I did was plugged everything that has a power source into a power strip then I bought one of those remote control power on power off plugs from Walmart for about 8 bucks so I can just hit a button on the remote and turn everything off and on with the push of a button

[@alienyde]

Oh smart ok cool. Wondered if you always went to the back to power your power bar. Lol. Thanks!

[@genaroluna3004]

Question! Is there a way I can get an sd card already programmed?

[@arcadepickers1682]

As long as you have the Raspberry Pi 3B plus I have the image which I would be happy to burn for you for a small fee, there are some other ones available on Arcade punks website. You could also check eBay just make sure it is for Raspberry Pi 3B Plus or whichever Raspberry Pi model you purchased. If you need my help feel free to message me on our Facebook page

[@guy8475]

I have a simpsons cab, will the same Raspberry work?

[@arcadepickers1682]

Yes

Nice video. Question, wouldn’t it been better to make player 1 and 3 have 6 buttons and player 2 and 4 have 4? So this way, 2 players have more room to play fighting games?

[@Omegaizfat24]

I went on Arcade Punks site and I can’t find the torrent for 130 psx and 50 Dreamcast thing to download for the games was it renamed or do you have another site

[@jasonhouck3902]

Great video! Is there a reason you went with a 3B instead of a 4B? I keep looking at this but wasn't sure why you went with that specific item.

[@arcadepickers1682]

Yes, the 3B has been out for a while and works perfectly fine. With the Raspberry Pi and the image that I chose. However, the for hasn't been out that long and if you research just a bit has a lot of problems with overheating.

[@mysportbuddies]

One thing I didn’t see you describe was once you put the emulator with all the games how’ does everything mapped to make sure the buttons and joystick are all configured to the specs of the games? Is automatically or manually ?

[@aaronbrothwell409]

Just purchased mine. Will definitely be doing this exact modification. Kudos from the U.K.

[@Inkflictionstudios]

Is the background music during the tutorial from Gunship ? Lol. But anyways, would I be able to make Leonardo and Raphael as P1 and P2 (respectively) to be modded for the more button layout ? I just think it would make more since because of the angle. You kinda have more space for hand movements on the edge of the control board.

[@brianfirenzi8222]

Hey, I'm about ready to pull the trigger and buy some stuff to follow along with this video - question about drilling the plexiglass, do you think a Forstner drill bit might be the way to go instead of a holesaw? I know there are two different button sizes in the arcade kit so I need to get the right drill bits to match. I'm excited to do this but definitely worried about cracking the glass.

[@arcadepickers1682]

If it makes you feel any better I don't even use the plexiglass anymore, I crack him 90% of the time and they are totally unnecessary, the underneath control panel has a high-gloss coating on it anyway so you definitely don't even need the Plexi

[@damianbrachetti2206]

Hey buddy, do you know how to configure the joysticks for 2 and 4 player games? If l make it work for a 4p game then it doesn't for 2p games.

[@beaubreau]

Tip here for those who are watching this. You do not need to buy an amp. The LCD board has an amplified input. It isn't the aux cable input, it is the 4 pin connector right above that. You simply need to cut the male aux end off the speakers and connect a 4 pin connector to that. The AUX wire has 4 wires inside. 2 black (ground 1 white and 1 red (left and right speakers). The 2 black go in the center while the red going on top and the white on the bottom. If you mix the white and red, that is fine. This isn't surround sound and all the sound comes out at once so you wouldn't notice if the left and right were mixed but thought I would let you know the correct way any ways. So you bought 80 bucks worth of buttons and now you have a crap load of extra stuff laying around. Look at your old joy sticks most of the come with 4 pin connectors. Cut it off and leave yourself some room for mistakes by cutting near the base so you have plenty of wire. Now all you have to do of course if strip the wires and connect them in the correct way. The color of the wire does not matter on the joy stick. You just want to make sure whatever wire is going to be plugged into the top pin is connected to the red and the bottom pin is connected to the white. The corresponding ground wires go in the middle. Layout [(r)(g)(g)(w)] If the 4 pin connector from the joy stick is too big, you can literally just removed the white plastic from the side of the pins on the the LCD board. So long as the correct wires are touching the correct pins and there is enough conductivity, it will sound very very loud. Just as a usual TV would. Hope this made sense. If you are savvy this should shed some light regardless. This is if you want to use the stock speakers. I can't really think of a reason why would would want low quality sound pumping out of nice speakers but to each their own. The stock speakers sound just fine and the LCD amp works great.

[@arcadepickers1682]

Thank you for the input on this as when I made this video I was very new to the process. So I am aware of this now. My only issue would be is there a place for a subwoofer?

[@fcoronel1]

[@Superbeaver3000]

I want to only have 2buttons per player. So im fine with just using the stock ones. I know id have to add hot keys for each plyr. I have the usb encoder my question is can i put the stock buttons onto a usb encoder? I see that they are glued down is this mean i cant remove em?

[@arcadepickers1682]

You can remove them just be careful not to break them otherwise you will have to re splice them

[@sightingson18wheels]

What I don't understand, is why everyone goes with the amp? Couldn't a person just hook up a male audio plug, and plug it directly to the Pi, or would the audio not be loud enough?

[@arcadepickers1682]

No it would definitely not be loud enough and I am an audio guy so my cabinets are extremely loud when I want them to be so I just go with this particular out because it's Bluetooth that way I can play my music from my phone like a jukebox or I can crank it when I want to play games really loud with Bass because I also have a subwoofer in it

[@igotvdwheniwas3]

I’m new to this so fair warning. Just curious when you play your turtle games are they the games that were programmed into the marching or do you have to play the ones on your raspberry pi? Is there a way to switch between the factory game and your mod games?

[@arcadepickers1682]

They are the ones that are on the SD card on the Raspberry Pi, once you disconnect the stock game so you cannot switch between them again they are done for you will have all the games you need on the Raspberry Pi

[@teronwright7896]

How do you set the joystick input to where Donatello is player 2 and ralphael is play 4?..whenever I try to play sf2 ralphael is player 2 which only limits me to 4 buttons

[@arcadepickers1682]

So this is kind of a confusing question because Ninja Turtles only uses two buttons jumped and attack if you're talking about Street Fighter that's a totally different ball game but all you have to do is switch the USB inputs on the Raspberry Pi there are four inputs total on the Raspberry Pi in each one represents player one through four so you can switch those out an experiment to find out which one is Player 1 2 3 and 4 and plug those in a cordingley and they will adjust on the screen exactly how you have them plugged in hopefully this help you out

[@remyhalo9014]

Hey buddy, all & all this is a good video. You really done a pretty good job. To an utter beginner (me) it's a very helpful video, to PI mod a TMNT A1up cabinet . I used this video for almost my whole 1st build. This vid could use a few more details added, to be a complete 100% DIY, for 1st timers though. I really, really appreciate your work at attempting to make this vid a 1 all, instruct all. I still needed to use 2 other tutorial vids to write the image. At this moment, I'm stuck at configuring the buttons. I don't have a usb controller etc. right now & would asked that you please show/tell how to configure the buttons/controls etc., to add to your/this comprehensive vid. I come to you, because of just how this vid is IMO about 80% complete as the most extensive 1 and done, only tutorial needed, vid. So that it's a 100% complete "how to for dummies." What do I need to do to configure buttons, so that I can finally finish my TMNT arcade 1up build. FYI, I have all the same hardware installed, that you linked. I have the wolfanoz 32gb arcade only image though. I'm stuck at this moment trying to figure out how to get the controls right. Could you please explain how to configure buttons etc? Thank you, for this video & all your help

[@arcadepickers1682]

So when you're in emulationstation you hit start and it will bring you into an option that says controller input where you can redo the controls at any time, otherwise when you initially start retropie it will have you set your controls from the get-go, if you need more help with this PM me on Facebook

[@Warrenj04]

Curious why you didn’t use a Pi 4? I deciding between Pi3B+ or Pi 4. Still learning the mod world.

[@arcadepickers1682]

Good question, when I did this build back in January the pie for was just being released and had a lot of negative reviews online as far as overheating issues and not being compatible with a lot of the emulators, I think the longer the pie for is released the more people will learn about it and it will be updated and probably the better option over the pi 3

Several of the items are no longer available to purchase. The amp and 4 player button kit are 2 of those items. Any suggestions on alternatives?

[@arcadepickers1682]

Yes I've been hearing that a lot, you can actually use any 2.1 amplifier on Amazon or Ebay just make sure that it has a spot for the subwoofer and the right and left speakers and make sure you order the correct power source it will usually tell you on the link which power source to buy usually it's a 12-volt, as far as the four-player arcade kit there is another one available on Amazon it just has slightly different buttons and joysticks but any of them will work the same way

I must have missed something, where was the step of wiring up the buttons and the new joysticks? There was an empty control panel and then they were all in there and in place. Also, is it possible to use the factory speakers and volume and power switches?

[@arcadepickers1682]

Yep those steps were in the middle of the video.... Yes the fa tory speakers will blow with loud volume ...they are very low quality You can wire the volume and power but it is not part of this tutorial ... The wired ha e to be spliced into the correct plugs for these encoders to work

I also didn't see the diagram you mentioned....I wonder if my player is skipping parts of the build.

[@arcadepickers1682]

So you're right I didn't actually do that on camera because I had to use both hands but all I did was push the buttons through from the topside and screw the washer on the backside the joysticks screwed into the same olds that the other one were in so no drilling required then it was just positive negative on each button and positive negative on each LED light on each button and the diagram comes with the buttons in the package from Amazon and you will see me show what it looks like a couple of times in the video all you have to do is make sure you put each button in the same slot on each decoder example button a for player 1 2 3 and 4 goes in slot one on the decoder button be for Player 1 2 3 4 goes in Slot 2 Etc.......

It definitely is however I do not have any experience in that, I've heard it is very finicky and very hard to maintain accuracy.... what I do recommend is getting an RCA to HDMI converter then you can plug your Nintendo Wii into the HDMI with a splitter on the back then you can play any of the shooting games by we by simply placing the bar from the Wii on top of your arcade1up now you can play games like House of the Dead silent scope and hunting games with no problems whatsoever and you have several options of different sizes and shapes of guns to put your Wii mote in

[@MidwestVillain_Z]

yes very easy it will walk you thru it on the screen the first time you turn on the raspberry pi ...can be reconfigured at any time as well

[@MidwestVillain_Z]

I've read about the importance of having the same number of buttons set up in the same spots on each encoder, so does having 8 buttons for players 1 and 2 and having only 4 for players 3 and 4 mess anything up?

[@arcadepickers1682]

So it doesn't matter because you have plenty of spaces on the encoder you just have to make sure that the players that have extra buttons have those buttons in the same spot as well obviously on the encoder for the players that have less buttons those spots will be left blank

For the raspberry that you have does it play mk 1,2,and ultimate good on arcade or is it PlayStation version

[@georgeheron7109]

Did you just wire the coin button to the k1-k12 terminals?

[@arcadepickers1682]

Yes :)

[@jalee6587]

You can run audio off the lcd pcb it's about 6 watts total. So it will sound as good as stock. But if you want spend more money then go ahead and upgrade.

The info is great, but the choppy video made me feel a bit sick to my stomach

[@arcadepickers1682]

Thanks and sorry....one of my first vids

[@robertblainjr2870]

Thanks for video. I picked up the Tmnt cabinet for Christmas and always wanted to mod it more than adding a light up marquee. This is the best way to get the most of it.

[@arcadepickers1682]

Agreed You'll love it ! It's a ton of fun! Subscribe for a ton more tutorials related to this coming out soon. Thanks

[@robertblainjr2870]

I will. Looking forward to them.

EASIEST way to get controllers off of the cab base, use a rubber mallet, hit the top of the joystick and they pop right off

[@jaybee1158]

Good job on everything. I have a mk2 1up arcade that I was gonna mod but I thought what for space is limited and I said I could build one better and really customize it, so I did.. believe it or not I built mine for cheaper then you bought all your parts.. I occasionally will help people with there builds or when people ask if they should buy an arcade cabinet I ask them a few questions and 1 being are they plan to mod it..? Some say yeah then I say it’ll be cheaper for you to build your own. You’ll spend about 3 bills on the machine and if you don’t know where to get the items you’ll pay more for them and end up spending another 3-4 hundred. Will all that you can almost buy a real arcade machine. I eventually want to get a cheap 50$ machine and just use the sides and put a bigger screen and ect and show people it can be done most only work in a small space they confine themselves to the small specs of the machine itself. I built mine with a 32lcd HDMI tv then bought 1 sheet of mdf 3/4 and I almost built the whole machine just with that sheet alone.. If you can do this bro I have a good feeling you can build your own from scratch , you should try it one day.. But I commend you on you trying to hit every detail bcuz your right most can’t explain right or in detail what there tryin to say. You did a great job.. much respect ✊🏽

[@tonywong8134]

How did you get your ground screw in? Is thwre a bolt and nut from the lcd controller? I hace the same cabinet.

[@behnam2778]

[@RyanYeti]

Amazing man! This is perfect. I’m gonna do this now. Thanks so much.

[@guy8475]

If I buy a preloaded retro pie SD card, is there still software I need to download to the raspberry for first use?

[@nicholas7930]

Every time I put it in attract mode it will load part way then go into command mode and I can’t get the image to load again. Any ideas what might be going on?

[@arcadepickers1682]

You might need to retransfer the image....i had to do that a couple times

[@nicholas7930]

Arizona's Arcade Heroes. I retransferred the image did some digging in the setting menu of retropie found a few things in a quick google search and was able to get the image working very stable.... soon I will as well have a tmnt arcade cab modded. Thanks for the videos brotha they have been very helpful.

[@arcadepickers1682]

Great job! My pleasure ...so happy it helped out!

[@pedrorivera429]

Hey i got same setup but im having trouble getting lcd converter working not getting signal when connected

[@williamshaw7970]

Got a TMNT cab, with 4 player. Just ordered the Sanwa original joysticks from AliExpress, and all the parts you explained. looks like its going to be an awesome build ! Thank you

[@SHRIVES23]

Great video. I did almost all of this. My Pi4 crashes anytime a fourth controller is plugged in on boot

[@davidfreeman3699]

there is a file called highscore.dat file u put in bios folder keeps high score i heard 1 of the children ask

[@thealatorresquad]

Do you happen to have an updated version of this? I can’t find some of the products on Amazon from those posted. And does anything change with the raspberry pi newer version

[@arcadepickers1682]

I do not so sorry this was January of 2020, since then I have moved on to actual arcades I highly recommend anyone else do so as well

[@arcadepickers1682]

Try ETA Prime ...he has an arcade1up mod video....thanks for watching

[@thealatorresquad]

@@arcadepickers1682 what do you mean by actual arcades? Whats the difference?

[@thealatorresquad]

Great content btw

[@arcadepickers1682]

@@thealatorresquad these are just miniature versions of an actual arcade cabinet made out of particle board I am talking about six foot or taller actual arcade cabinets

[@CharlieEdward25]

mite as well make a cab

[@arcadepickers1682]

After about a month from this video I got rid of all my arcade1up sand now I only use real cabinets

[@aaronraglin605]

Man I been waiting for this video

[@arcadepickers1682]

Thanks

[@eldenringer6466]

Great work! Can you supply a UK equiv list for your UK fans pls ? Also is there a way to stop the constant stuttering camera ? the frame rate seems to be too low?

[@dcallier1]

Great video. I'm looking to download some 80s classics, plus NES and Sega games. Do you have a Rom Pack you'd recommend? Thank you

[@funtyes1970]

seem like video is very choppy and laggy

[@arcadepickers1682]

how so ?

[@robkrasinski6217]

There is a company 99 lives arcade that can make you a new joystick deck with a pi in it ready to go but it costs like $700. There are new revised 4 player Konami games coming out this fall with wi-fi like Turtles in Time, The Simpsons, and X-Men. I wonder if the pcb’s are interchangeable between the old TMNT and the Simpsons? Then I could get the Simpsons and dismantle my TMNT cabinet or keep the TMNT assembled and swap pcb’s and put the Simpsons in it. I have limited room for more cabinets and I only have around 6 big ones, TMNT, MK that I modded with an X-Arcade stick, a Carnevil cabinet that I have yet to set up with the guns and roms, Outrun, a Cruis’n USA mod with an N64, a Toyshock Haunted House pinball, and Pac-Man countercade.

[@arcadepickers1682]

Wow great stuff
