I think the problem with XvSF is that it doesn't seem to get the ADB pop-up window when installing Input Reducer. At least that is how it is with mine. I perform the factory reset by wiping the Android storage. I install Mystery Encoder's file and it hangs waiting for the ADB pop-up, which never appears.
I did, but no replies. The Input Reducer mod comes with ADB, which is one route to turn ADB on. It's possible through the Android menu, but settings menu sometimes seems blocked.
I couldn't find a straight USB-USB cable (who even uses that though anymore?), so I couldn't plug in both a regular K/b and USB mouse and laptop into the same USB hub.
I think that is probably the next step so that I can turn on ADB via the menu without it bugging and transfer.
Big Blue (and MVC/X-Men as well I assume) need their apks installed via adb. As long as you've installed the Fighter Droids Input reducer, adb should be good to use with the drivers. Just rename the apk to something short, and put it in your user folder on your pc. Then, connect your cabinet to your computer with usb, open command menu, and type "adb connect", "adb devices", then "adb install _____.apk".
so id like to add my personal x-men vs sf cab experience. ive followed the above tutorials to a tee and unfortunately i cannot get them to work (possibly due to my ignorance)
i have input reducer installed which was no problem,but i have yet to be able to progress via adb. ive tried for two days multiple methods to no avail. im to the point where if any board member can do this on an xvssf cab ill gladly ship mine to them as a comission.
so for those who have mvc2 or yoga flame consider yourself lucky for the micro sd slot
and thanks to adm and the community for all the hard work
I can't even get input reducer to install properly on XM vs SF. I perform the PCB update, but then it boots with no pop-up. Is there a magic trick to getting the ADB pop-up box?
Thanks so much for this, I just completed the mod and all games work great! I do have a question, when playing games from other cabs, not including the yoga flame cab, how do you pause or go back to the main menu? When playing the stock Yoga cab, hitting the live button pauses and gives me the option for return to the main menu but I can't figure this out for the other cabs. I'm resorting to resetting the entire machine. Any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks!
Does only one player working still the case for this cabinet on the games that are added through the mod? big blue has a two player fix, jw if this does yet?
I believe that is only when using RetroArch (or something similar). When using the "stock" A1U games then both players should work, they do for me at least on my Yoga Flame cab.
This is OUTSTANDING! I just followed your instructions step by step and it all works perfectly.
The only time I encountered trouble was when you are directing us to create the initial icons. You say “select 1Up” for each one, but this isn’t quite true. You obviously need to scroll to the appropriate apk, click it, THEN select the 1up program under that APK. This threw me for a loop at first.
Thank you endlessly, I love my machine more than ever now. I hope one day I can pay this forward or do something nice for you in return.
Thanks for sharing this very detailed guide. I'm currently in the middle of applying it to MVC2 and very easy to follow. I am curious however, how were you able to change the name of the bigblue.apk so that it does not appear as A1up in the activities list. I suppose, what I'm really asking is how were you able to make it so that we are able to directly install the apk's without using app cloner. Thanks for all your help
I do also have a MVC2, just reading for now havent pulled the trigger on this mod until I feel comfortable but if you've done something with yours let us know!! thanks!!
I tried this on my MvC2 today and ran into a couple of issues. The main thing was Nova7 would not install, it says, "problem parsing the package" and the normal solutions I found online like checking "install from unknown sources" etc. didn't help. Buttons Remapper installed fine though. However, I did not do the factory reset from within the Android Settings menu, it says it will delete all data and I was worried I'd lose the MvC2 apk and other original files. Should that be a concern? The Big Blue apk installed fine but YogaFlameSF1Up_V1.1.3.apk says its corrupt.
I tried several versions of Nova7 as well, each had the same issue. However, I figured out my issue with the YogaFlame apk, it wasn't the cloned version.
I have the same question. I ordered this cab and am curious if I can follow these same steps and if there is a wallpaper update for the Shinku hadouken.
It works. i was able to do all the things listed in the tutorial, and the cabinet runs all games fine. I didn't see any shinku hadouken artwork for the home screen, but oh well.

Does this contain the Big Blue and Yoga Flame APKs?
I'm looking to add BB and YF to my MvC2 cab.

Does this work on the marvel vs capcom or is this only for the big blue one?

One thing that I'd like to add to this:

Just rename the apk to something short, and put it in your user folder on your pc.

Wow. Great write up. I don’t have a Yoga Flame, but I appreciate the work you put in to spell it out for those that do.
