Arcade1Ups

I tried to warn him but he didn't want my help.

And I'll buy that kite, but only if it's got Popeye on it.
I just wanna know is the kite still available, and does it come with a working coin mech?
Of course this has turned out to be one of the more entertaining threads around here in a while so maybe we should be thanking him!
 
Since we're on this topic, and now in the right forum... has anyone thought about transferring the guts of a 1Up into an actual cabinet with an HDMI mod and a larger screen?

Only reason I thought of this was because a neighbor was going to buy a Blitz but didnt like how small it was and 4 grown men playing on that tiny cabinet is comical. I looked into finding an real Blitz for him but couldn't... plus the 1Up comes with 3 versions of the game..

So I thought, maybe I'll find a bigger cabinet like a Midway Mortal combat or konami cab or something and throw the guts into it for him.

Reason I didn't think about a Pi is because I don't want to have to support the thing if it taes a shit and seems like the 1Up guts would be plug and play.

I think the PI would be worth the time to set up. Otherwise you are going to have the stupid 1up branding. If that doesn't bother you could probably work.

Yeah that was the only thing. Problem with the Pi though is that I'm not sure how well (or if) it emulated blitz, 99, and 2000... which I think are all on the 1Up. Also the 1Up supposedly has a 49way stick.

In the end, selling a machine to someone you know or a neighbor basically means you'll be on call when something goes wrong with it.. not sure what little money i'd make on the sale would be worth it.

You need to set the expectation that when shit breaks you don't work for free. Just tell them an hourly rate.
 
Lmao

The pie doesn't emulate blitz or killer instinct arcade versions well at all. But Dreamcast version of blitz is good

If they cheap out on the hourly, just make up for it by hanging around all night drinkin their beer! In some instances, the hourly would be cheaper in the long run!
 
Surely you understate on purpose my good man.
Most of the posts for the last 30 hrs have given me full belly contortions.
Sorry, but this one line made me laugh. :)
I (really do!) hope the OPs feelings aren't hurt by any of this, but that he has a greater understanding of arcadefightclub at this point.
:D
In spite of the whole circle jerk accusation of course-

hey i was serious. I dont want my 1u[s tainted with some stinkin crt hack lol
 
I had a PI3+ in my KI2 cab for a bit and games like Blitz (and other 3D games) don't run well on it.

I opted to just sell it off and build a MAME PC for the cabinet and it's much better now. It runs everything I've thrown at it.
