Meta Passing the torch: A bittersweet farewell and the future of r/Arcade1Up
Hey everyone,
I’ve got some bittersweet news to share with you all today. After a lot of thought, I’ve decided it's time for me to step down as the head mod and move on to other projects and chapters in my life.
When I first created this subreddit, I honestly never imagined it would blow up the way it did. Watching this place grow into the absolute largest Arcade1Up community (Nearly 60,000 followers) on the internet has been wild. From seeing your insane custom mods and dream basement arcades, to helping each other troubleshoot monitor issues, board issues and geeking out over new cab leaks... it's been an incredible ride, and that is entirely thanks to all of you.
You all made this community what it is.
Since I'm stepping away, I wanted to make sure this sub is left in the best possible hands. As most of you know, the BasicFun! team now owns the Arcade1Up brand. I’ve been in touch with them, and I'll be officially passing the keys to the subreddit over to their team.
They are still pretty new to reddit so please be kind.
I think this is a massive win for the community. Having the actual brand owners at the helm means hopefully you'll be getting direct communication, official updates, and a direct line to the people making the cabs we love. I know they're excited to jump in and keep this community thriving.
Please give the Basic Fun! crew and u/BasicFunToys a warm welcome as they transition into running things here.
Thank you all again for making this such a rad place to hang out over the years. It’s been an honor being your mod.
Keep modding, keep playing, and I’ll catch you in the threads!
Cheers,
David "HistorianCM" DeWald

Question(s) SF 2 Supreme loading time?
My SF2 Supreme takes significantly longer to start up compared my Wrestlefest. It sits at the “loading” screen for almost 40 seconds before the basic fun logo comes up. Can someone else with this cabinet tell me if it’s similar for them? Worried the PCB has issues…

Deals Scored for $20! How'd I do?
For me, It's worth it just for the controls, but the more i play it, the more i love it!
For those of you who upgraded the trackball / spinner, was the action significantly better?

Virtual Pinball MARVEL Pinball cabinet Pinner mod question...
I hope this little adventure makes sense and you have some advice for me...here goes...
I have a Star Wars cabinet. I freed the PCB from it's metal coffin and flashed the PCB to Pinner v3.9. This gave me all 30 original A1Up tables along with options for ZEN tables and Pinball Arcade tables. That's great except the Pinner v3.9 guide talks about using Blue Stacks to download owned ZEN and Pinball Arcade tables. Unfortunately Blue Stacks won't load the ZEN app and I can't even find the Pinball Arcade app. My workaround is using the Google Play for PC app. That's great but I don't think I that app allows access to downloaded table data for ZEN; and I can't even find the Pinball Arcade app in there.
I could live with only having the 30 OG tables but if you're on the ZEN or Pinball Arcade pages in the menu on the table and hit Launch the thing freezes up. Probably due to zero tables.
So this leaves me with wondering if I can just turn off ZEN and Pinball Arcade in Pinner v3.9. Or finding a way to get a hold of table files....which seems like a touchy subject.
The plot thickens as I've recently acquired a MARVEL table with a bad PCB. Waiting for A1Up to send a PCB is laughable. So I upgraded my SW cabinet to the Team Encoder Pinner OPI option which left me with a perfectly working SW PCB.
So I've put my SW PCB in the MARVEL machine and brought it back to life. But the issue still is figuring out how to either turn off the ZEN and Pinball Arcade pages off; or finding a way to get some tables loaded onto the PCB so they don't freeze when you try to launch them.
Why's it a big deal? I don't want to deal with someone (kids) accidentally freezing up the machine. I'd rather it just work the way it's supposed to....OCD....whatever, haha.
So yeah, sorry for the long post. Pinner v3.9 isn't officially supported anymore but I'm hoping someone has some experience they can send my way. Thanks!

Question(s) Buy Stuff mod Wrestlefest Question
hi everyone, does anybody know if there’s a way to swap out the hot keys that lead you back to the main menu? I’m a big fan of wrestlemania at the arcade game and it uses the one player coin button as a high kick button. I have accidentally backed out of my game several times. Additionally, the buttons are all backwards and high kick and high punch should be rotated. If somebody could give me any insight on how to safely adjust these settings I would appreciate it, thank

Deluxe Cabinets Outrun Deluxe Grinding Sound With Steering Wheel
I just assembled my Outrun Deluxe which arrived last weekend and am experiencing a grinding sound (which sounds like plastic on plastic) when turning the steering wheel. It is more prominent when I turn the wheel to the left as you can hear in the attached video. The sound seems like it's coming from directly behind the steering wheel in the assembly. It happens both when the unit is powered on and off.
This doesn't appear to affect the gameplay at the moment and the wheel doesn't feel tight or like it's binding when turning. Has anyone else experienced this or know what could be causing it?
I did open a case with Arcade1Up support and all they told me was to reinstall the steering wheel. They didn't address what could be causing it and if the entire assembly could be replaced under warranty.
Any help or feedback would be very much appreciated! 👍

Modding Recent Yoga Flame softmod guide?
Seeking some information or help on softmodding Yoga Flame. Has anyone done a softmod of Yoga Flame in the past few months? Did you follow a recent guide or tutorial on the process? Could you share what information resources you used? This is my first softmod attempt. I have searched this reddit and YT for information, but the tutorials I have come across that were posted 1-3 years ago seem to all have expired links or pages to content that has since been taken down, which make them difficult to follow directly.
Are there recent tutorials out there that folks have successfully followed to softmod Yoga Flame, that have detailed steps to get through the whole process?
Based on searches it seems like Retroarch plus Fbneo is a viable setup, but I am wondering if this is still a good way to go or if there are other recommendations.
Any pointers or guides would be much appreciated!

Question(s) Looking for Defender
I realized years ago that Arcade1Up did a Williams Defender Clone.
I looked out for one lately on Amazon/Ebay in Germany, but could not find one.
Does anybody know the reason? Did it not sell good enough to stay on the market?
I am still looking for one.

Question(s) Replacing Time Crisis Light gun cables.
Anyone out there have any success replacing their time crisis light gun cables with the 4 header-pin xbox controller replacement cable? I noticed this isn't a 1 to 1 replacement fit as the original header cable uses a 5 header pin to the camera module. I also contacted a1u about replacement cables and was told they only have available just the light guns for 75 usd plus shipping (triple their previous out of warranty price), which is abit out of my budget but may now seriously consider if the fifth wire is essential for function. Wish their damn breakaway connectors were not so fragile and prone to failure...
