Very thorough and well made video. Thank you for taking the time to do it.

[@thetechbuzz]

No worries, hope it helps!

[@scottboehmer1975]

Super helpful video. I've been hoping to get a clearance Fast and Furious but may go with the Star Wars option for my future driving and shooting mod. Looking forward to seeing the next video.

[@sonykroket]

I just got the BSA upgradekit and will be installing it tomorrow. I will be following this video very closely to make sure I don´t wreck it. I´m sure it will work out fine but it´s nice to see instructions online. Hope you´re doing good, my man.

[@thetechbuzz]

Awesome! It's pretty smooth actually. You'll be fine :)

[@sonykroket]

@@thetechbuzz Yes, it will be. Never stop, dude.

[@Negan1518]

Great mod brother I have a starwars cab with grs yoke from glens retro show , makerofthings 2.0 bezel from esty and mod1up water fall deck

[@Triumph_or_Die]

My mod kit came with a DaytonAudio Puck Tactile Transducer Mini Bass Shaker. Where/how do I install it?

[@ThomasGrillo]

That is an awesome mod! Nice to know there's life after the A1up PCB goes. By the way, you really need to get all of your arcade cabinets off the remotely powered line, as slamming raw power into a computer will damage it's power supply, or worse, the PCB. You have to let your cabinets do their graceful power on/off cycles. Oh, and insurance won't cover any device that's plugged into remotely powered sources when they fry. You can keep effects lighting on those lines, though. Thanks for the tutorial. Will definitely look into that mod kit. :)

[@thetechbuzz]

They all don’t power up simultaneously. Plus the ones with a computer I shut down manually. Not sure where you heard they will fry, but that’s not true, been doing this since 2017 with these cabinets. Plus all you need is a voltage regulator if you’re that worried :) Not sure where you heard insurance won’t cover electronics if they are on smart switches, because again, that’s not true.

[@ThomasGrillo]

@@thetechbuzz Back in 18, I took a direct hit lightning strike. All my stuff was on surge protectors, and they all still fired. Lost a 10,000 industrial video projector, some effects lighting, and all of the early A1up cabinets. Luckily, the computers were on uninterruptable power supplies. But, the insurance company refused to cover the stuff I lost. It is very true. LOL Never do business with a local insurance agent.

[@thetechbuzz]

@@ThomasGrillo WOW dude, I'm sorry to hear that! To be fair, and full disclosure, I have all my computers, TV's, arcades, consoles on 40-60 min battery backups/surge protectors. I guess I should have stated that first. BUT they did you dirty!

[@ThomasGrillo]

@@thetechbuzz The adjuster did state that if the computers, which were on UPSs had gone, too, they'd have covered them. I really should be doing what you've done. I got too wrapped up in collecting 3/4 scale cabs to devote enough funds towards UPSs for the rest of the toys. Another thing that didn't help, was the fact my wiring is old aluminum 2 wire type. The grounding was woefully insufficient. Same for the lug, The electrician I had to do repairs to the system wasn't able to update the old wiring, but at least installed a new lug, and 6 foot copper grounding rod, and then installed proper 3 pronged outlets in all sockets. Still not optimal, but better than nothing. Still have to update the breakers. Only 4 switches to cover the whole house, so I can only run one arcade room at a time. LOL Tons of work to be done here. Yeah, I should've been dealing with a nationally known insurance company. You can use a local rep for one, just not a local insurance company. they hate writing checks. They were even kind enough to drop my coverage after the filing. LOL And that was after 30 years of claim free patronage.

[@Frank_D]

Awesome tutorial. I've been meaning to get the GRS flight stick, and the Buy Stuff kit for the ALU.

[@thetechbuzz]

It's a great upgrade! Highly recommend it!

[@Frank_D]

@@thetechbuzz Thanks. 🙂 I keep meaning to save up for it, but then other stuff comes up. lol Maybe this summer I'll finally be able to do it.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Oh Man, I might have to do this to my A1UP cabinet. Great job and thanks for sharing Stephen!

[@BuyStuffArcades]

You know we'd be super happy to hook you up!

[@cwafflestx]

Just wanted to say thank you for this GREAT video. I just did y Star Wars Mod today using your video for the entire mod. It was a BIG help! Thanks again!

[@thetechbuzz]

Awesome! Glad it helped!

[@The_Bad_Guy.]

I cant wait to see some of the game play for this and the list of games. Im seriously considering getting this. Im just scared to devalue the star wars cabinet by modding it haha.

[@thetechbuzz]

I was too but honestly, I think your pcb will die before it gets de-valued.

[@Negan1518]

also bought a sound module with an xwing sound effect

[@chrisdekelver9942]

Thanks man

[@ChrisC488]

Thank you 4 this. Mine just shipped today.

[@crazycarlschillchamber]

Good video Stephen very informative and easy to understand.

[@thetechbuzz]

Thanks!!

[@quentinbesancenez1427]

Great video. I think I'll have to get this one.

[@thetechbuzz]

It is a lot of fun especially network play on the other cabinet.

[@atranfanatic]

Very detailed and explained well step by step man. Even though I'm keeping my 2019 stand up Atari Star Wars stock. I did m*********o***********d**** my Ridge Racer Arcade1up with a PC and converted it into a sit down cabinet with the Buystuffarcades encoder board and HDMI board. And my wife's Frogger Arcade1up with the correct artwork, custom OG light up marquee, custom 2 player control panel with more buttons and a PC.

[@thetechbuzz]

Thanks man!

[@atranfanatic]

@@thetechbuzz Anytime! And enjoy your Buystuffarcades influenced Star Wars cabinet!

[@DJ_Blaker]

Great upgrade

[@nickgerula]

Thank you!! This is very helpful!

[@PeterSimpson666]

Great video, very informative. As I live in the UK, the US power adapter for the amp will not work, could I use the power brick lead that comes into the back of the cabinet with a splitter for the amp?

[@thetechbuzz]

I don’t see why not. But I would send an email into @buystuffarcades just to be safe.

[@wokeupmens]

Sweet

[@adamkalb1412]

Brilliant ❤

[@violator6677]

I need the review now on the games and how it handles

[@thetechbuzz]

I did a live game night for 2 hours you should watch. They handled fine. It’s under my live tab.

[@Florescj12]

Love the mod, but the learning curve on figuring out the cotnrols is not the greatest. A bit frustrating for the simpletons among us lol.

[@orangenationarcade]

Just broke the prawns off plugging into speakers. Any suggestions?

[@thetechbuzz]

Unless you can solder you may need new speakers.

[@Negan1518]

To give it a better effect

[@ianhodgson3739]

Do I need a PC for this mod ?

[@sonykroket]

no, it comes with an android box with all the games on it.@@ianhodgson3739

[@sonykroket]

The HDMI-converterboard I got from BSA is different, the molexconnector coming from the screen is in a different place. I´m doing the upgrade as we speak...........

[@thetechbuzz]

Same concept, they may have altered the design slightly (hate when companies do that). Just match the ports. Should be fine.

[@sonykroket]

@@thetechbuzz Yea I got it working , it´s one hell of an upgrade. Amazing, those games. Only issue I have is, I can´t get the rumblemotor to work. I checked everything, it´s plugged in correctly, wires are all good etc. What else should I check?

[@sonykroket]

@@thetechbuzz Ok so I found out the rumblemotor works, I accidentally got into the menu where you can decide to have more or or less rumble using the yoke. But it never works during any game. I know it resets every time you reboot. Do you know if it works with every or any game? Is it some setting in the androidbox menu or something? I didn´t change anything in it.

[@thetechbuzz]

@@sonykroket I’m not sure

[@sonykroket]

ok, I´ll just keep fucking with it then.@@thetechbuzz

[@matthews8576]

In the still pic on youtube it looks like you have a riser lift on that? If so how tall?

[@thetechbuzz]

Stock photo man

[@apuks]

13:00 Red goes into red, blue goes into red, gold goes above red :) still good vid

[@thetechbuzz]

I think you’re confused. I said green and green goes above red. I also said “blue is going to go right here next to your red.” I never said blue into red. Turn your hearing aids up lol

[@sonykroket]

Thank you, my dude.

[@thetechbuzz]

No problem
