Love the Evercade, it has introduced me to so many great games! Not very interested in the Alphas, I wish there was a way to try them hands on. The 2 upcoming arcade carts look fun and I ordered an Atari superpocket, hard to go wrong with 50 games. Have a good one!
Hi there. Is pandory able to fix the sound issue of golden axe? It seems the out of the box sound is a bit broken. Thanks
Is this the original or revenge of death adder? Let me know and I can check it out
@@CHQArcadeit's the original arcade golden axe
Original golden axe.this is the sound issue clips czcams.com/video/6RdoTlEyWkA/video.htmlsi=0KX_e_iBXtzityMI
Can’t say for certain if Pandory was what fixed it as I don’t think I played it before I installed it but it certainly sounds better than the vid you shared Golden Axe - Pandora DX with Pandory czcams.com/video/FVePQtzBl_E/video.html
Looks like nothing has been fixed with pandory for this game unfortunately. Thanks for the recording.
I like the idea of this but i would like to see a bigger version something like the neo geo mvsx multi arcade
From what Evercade have said it’s not something they are looking to do in the near future but haven’t ruled it out. I’d also be very interested to see them do something full sized
The amount of quality stuff that Evercade have been coming up with have been awesome and that doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon. What are you're feelings with what Evercade have currently announced this year and are you temped by any of these?
I really hope someone can help me with this issue. It may sound silly but the fake coin door when placed between the cab panels will not line up to close the cab on both sides. I have gently struggled with this for a few hours now with no success. The manual does not tell you anything.
Not too sure what you mean, the door should line up with the pre drilled holes in the panel. Are you having issues fitting the door to the panel or are you having an issue getting the panel itself into place?
@@CHQArcade when I slide the coin panel into place for some reason it seams like its just a few hairs to wide and will not allow the wooden pegs and screws to tighten down. I put into the groove inside the cab made sure it was not upside down hahaha. I do not normally have OCD but this is driving me nuts man. If I remove the coin door entirely the whole thing goes together no trouble at all. I may wind up temporarily taping it to the front of the cab since its just decoration. but I did not want to give up
So with the coin door in place it looks like this 0 <------)) Where the screw is almost exactly that far away from the hole on the other side of the cab that goes ontop of the bottom one when its laying on its side.
@@brian_belmont87 Sorry man, I cant picture it. Bounce in to the Discord and fire some pics over, might be able to help better if I can see. It sounds like they've misaligned the holes when they where drilling but haven't heard of that issue in a while now
I love arcades of all sizes but I just can't bring myself to that price point for a few reasons..the MAIN one is, I will never allow myself to get sucked into proprietary hardware. IiRcade... A1U pcbs that are no longer available for some cabs, whatever.. thus you end up modding it with a pi or mini pc anyways. Don't get me wrong these are great but I can just build a cab and do it myself, like I have been since 1999 lol! Enjoy buddy can't wait to see your videos on it when they ship! 😀👍
That's fair, though the ability to play the Evercade carts was one of the biggest selling points for me. I am well within the Evercade ecosystem having owned a couple of their previous systems so have a number of Carts that I think will run great here
I pre-order both deluxe.
i did preorder the streetfighter edition 😀
Nice one! Hoping these are as good as they look
I quess they are
The Pre orders are Live today and I've bit the bullet and gone for a Street Fighter. What about you guys? Does this appeal to you? Are you going to order or are you saying no to the Alpha? Let me know below
Not sure what I was expecting from todays announcement but it wasn’t this, this is very cool and I really want to pick one up
Great video’s mate. I’ve just gotten into the hobby and came across your channel a couple of weeks ago. Great to see another person from NI 🙂 Do you think we’ll ever get MK2 Deluxe in the UK? I’ve only got MvC2 so far but want to add SF and MK to the collection.
Thanks man, really appreciate it
Always on the look out for little things to help make this space I have feel more like an Arcade. Hopefully some of these items will help you guys do the same
Are you in belfast
Aye, well just up the road a bit
Hi guys, my Pandora stopped recognizing the SD card. Do you know where I can download the image? DX special 5000in1.. thanks for your help
Hey there, unfortunately I cannot provide direct links to anything like that, however if you go on to something like Internet Archive and search along the lines of "Pandora box DX special 5000" you may find what you are looking for. Good luck
@@CHQArcade I've been trying but I can't find it. I feel like they sold me crap.
@@elpol3904 There are some that sell knockoff ones for sure, if the shell has that ~H symbol its usually legit. However I'm pretty sure they all use knockoff SD cards. If it hasn't been too much time reach out to the seller and say the SD cards packed it, thats what I did with mine and they provided a temporary backup link
Salu Peut on brancher 1 manette xbox 360 filaire dessus directement ? Y a til des réglages à faire ou pas ? Merci de ton retour ! Niko de France !
A wired one yes, however a wireless one that you wire in will not work. the controller itself must be the wired variant. No real configurations to make, but each game may have slightly different controls
Was hoping for something more informative..& less stating the obvious. Hopefully next vid will be better. PS…if i had space I’d do exactly the same…tinker…& the feeling of joy when you get something working
My first slot machine so it’s a lot of learning. Let me know what you’d like to see and I can certainly see about including next time I’m working on them
I want to like the Iconic Arcade more than I do, there just doesn't seem to be an awful lot of information about it and ones who have put videos up say you are very much left to your own devices for the most part. What do you guys think of this new(ish) entry into the Home Arcade space?
Steam Deck not only is backed by Valve/Steam, it is backed heavily by the community. We're at the point where Linux ease of use is at Windows level. Windows on handheld are experiencing what it was like for Linux users 2 decades ago trying to get things to work lol
The Steam Deck community does seem to be putting the work in to allow not only the device to improve to to bring in more adopters by making it super easy to fix issues or mod both software and hardware side of things
Took the plunge and picked up a Steam Deck and I am really glad I did. Yes it allows me to play my Steam games but Arcade games as well in the forms of the Atari Recharged series and older games with the aid of EmuDeck. Its integration with the Steam Library makes the whole experience for older Arcade and Console games so seamless. What are you're thoughts on EmuDeck and the Steam Deck as a whole? Let me know
UN POLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Always nice to hear a good Norn Iron accent in a CZcams video- always catches me by surprise
Haha, thanks man
There's a guy here in Southern California, selling his Star Wars pinball for only $100 because it won't power on at all. I'm glad I came across your video and all the comments stating that the PCB is not currently available from Arcade1up! 😬
That really sucks, not sure what the stock is like over here at the moment. A1UP seems to be dropping the ball however
If would be cool if you could invert the input.. so you press the button on the gun to duck down and standing is the default position with no button press.
Hmm, I wonder if thats possible, must look in to that
You sure can, use a micro switch with 3 connections. You can try both to see what's better
I have been waiting for a pcb for six months now what a joke arcade 1 up sucks don’t buy one.
Six months!? Yikes, that’s not good at all
I’ve been waiting 4 months now for mine): they added me to there “Que”
I get this noise hum on all of my A1up cabs and installed that ground loop noise filter on all of my cabs. Works like a charm. It’s because the audio output is being amplified from the PCB and not an external amplifier. If you are using an external amplifier such as the Logitech Z313 it will amplify the noise hum even more but the ground loop filter will strip out the ground noise. I highly recommend using an external amp.
An external amp plus the ground loop is a good call.
Hi mate, hope you are doing well. I picked up the Star Wars cab about a month ago when it went to £487 at Amazon and loving it. Just so cool using the flight yoke. Now it’s funny you just did this video. I had a really annoying hiss on my Pac-Man head to head, and put a ground loop on it, and the hiss mostly went but the sound comes out at about 50%. So I just have it at max, and can live with that. But I may try taking it off again as you did 😂. It may also have something to do with how close the speaker wire is to the power wire. On new cabs now I tape them well apart. I also have the static noise on the Marvel pinball and like you say it’s annoying once you know it’s there. May have to try what you did and see if it will go.
Ohh that’s a good price on the Star Wars. Yea the proximity to the power would make sense as a source of interference, must remember that. Worth giving it a go on the Pinball and see if you get the same results
Well it seems it works for some but maybe not others. Any other tips and tricks people have picked up with working on these machines?
Have you had any issues with you pi running sluggish when the recoil is on? I think the sinden uses a lot of power from the pi and is causing issues. What pi power supply do you recommend? I don’t think my pi is getting enough power when I use the sinden with recoil. When I play T2, it slows down when I use recoil
Cant say I've noticed it. I've not played T2 but Alien 3 uses the constant recoil and I've not seen any slow down or anything like that
Can you tell me which power adapter you use? I need to see if it’s that.
@@Matthew-vb8qb Mines just using the 5.1V 3A power supply that came with the Pi 4 thepihut.com/products/raspberry-pi-psu-uk Hope that helps
@@CHQArcade just a follow up- it did help. I was using a different generic charger from Amazon that was for my model, but it didn’t work correctly. I got the pi charger and it works much better now. Thanks for the info!
@@Matthew-vb8qb Ahh yes man! Thats great to hear
Just bought one a couple of weeks ago in the Amazon Easter Sale. £519. Great price and absolutely fantastic machine ! Loved putting it together too !
Awesome man! Yea I do really enjoy building these machines up. The Star Wars machine is a great pickup and the games are great for High Score chasing
Any update on the fruit machines you have lets see them up and running
Unfortunately not much. I’ve been replacing bulbs but it’s just been too cold out there to do any decent work. Hopefully the weather will improve and I can do some more project stuff
Do you have a video how to configure the light gun to a game? You mentioned 1 work with no issues but the rest needed configuration. Maybe its simple but im just starting out using batocera. Thank for any help or pointers.
I don’t have any config video but I used on created by @retrogamingguy that I used as a reference czcams.com/video/lBLhKPY9s0k/video.htmlsi=TwpFnsuvgOgswIzz For most games the config was really just switching the Action button to where I wanted it, for example a USB peddle for playing Time Crisis. Point Blank needed a bit of working altering X and Y sensitivity. It’s a bit more of a guessing game as it depends on the size of the screen and the aspect ratio you are displaying on. Would highly recommend that video, will help you put a lot
Nice Video ! Sub & Big Like ! And Love Retro Arcade Games !
Thanks, appreciate it
@@CHQArcade Thank you for your reply ! If you are interested in the nostalgic game culture of Japan, please subscribe to my channel !
Nice one, I’ll check that out
I’d get it as a fightcade/ vert shmup cabinet since it’s easier to rotate than my crts
That would be very handy
No , I bought the hd one about 3 months ago .I am happy with it and use the OTG function .The trouble is that with living in the UK liberty games probably wont give a discount. As they don’t now with the HD.
I can’t see any discount coming on the HDs when the 4K comes over. They’ll keep it the same as it is and the 4K will sit around £1700, £1800. These thing are big money now
If I hadn't had the MVC2 Cab, I definitely would have gotten this. The art work doesn't bother me. I love my MVC2 Cab. Only thing I dislike most about it is that the control panel is tilted, which hurts my arms while playing it. There's other issues with it as well, but I still love it. If you bought the physical copy of the Sega Saturn & Dreamcast version of each of the Marvel Fighting Games, it would have cost you about $600+ if you wanted all of them.
The control panel on the deluxe cabs are tilted as well. I do wonder if we’ll see other variations of MvC deluxe or if this is the only one they had planned
MvC2 has been milked to death 😅
Agreed, considering when it was first released they made such a big thing about the cabinet being “limited”
I disagree. As a game thst was locked to older-gen consoles for a while, the best thing Arcade1Up could do is put the game on everything possible while while they have the license
Maybe I missed something, but the 8BitDo controller uses bluetooth, while the Game Stick Lite uses 2.4G Wireless, so they are not compatible devises. The Game Stick Lite is great.
Both use adapters to connect so would have expected the 8bitdo to work fine. But even a wired controller would not work. The stick lite is great but for certain games that input lag is just too much
Arcade1up customer support wasn't interested when I contacted them about the same issue as this with my Marvel Pinball, just said it was out of warranty so tough luck, have to wait until they start selling spares parts in the future if I want to buy one to get it working again, don't think I should be paying for a common know fault with their product. My only option is just to mod it, can't be that difficult, I will give it go. 🛠️🤔
That’s sucks. Believe my table was only 6 months old at that point so still well within the warranty. I would love to pick up another one, cheap, and mod it. Seen some good ones out there. Good luck to you if you do
A pass for me!
Certainly not a Cab I'd run out and buy. Put it in a Big Blue form factor however and I could be tempted
I'll be honest, I expected more from Arcade 1ups first announcement of the year. Wanted some thing new, some new licence. What are your thoughts on this leak? Is Arcade 1up on auto pilot?
I find it a bit boring.
@@gunstarherouk Very much so. I cannot see this variant bringing in a lot more sales, even though it is the first MvC2 Deluxe
@@CHQArcadeit was actually leaked at 500 dollars
Sounds about right for the deluxe cabs
Since TikTok seem determined to flag all of my recent uploads as inappropriate I might as well put them out as shorts here.
A possible potential price point for the 4K pinball table. How does this price measure up for you? Will you be picking one up? Will you be upgrading? Let me know below
It's compleat and utter rubbish mate save your money. If any of your mates think about purchasing this rubbish. Give them a good shaking....
It's a huge missed opportunity imho
I hear ya. The fact that the flippers or bumpers don’t move, it’s just lights and sounds, Not what we’ve come to expect from them
@@CHQArcade no, not at all
For its price the Game Stick is pretty damn good. Just the controllers let it down I think
I still think it will look great in my game room as a display piece with all the sounds and lights. People spend this much on scale statues and arcade signs. Wish it was playable but not a deal breaker for me. Great video!
Thanks man, and that's an excellent point around the likes of decorations
I would like to purchase one for my arcade.
Its versatility makes it a good buy.
The Minipins line has its first product and its Gottliebs Black Hole. What are your thoughts on this 1/6th scale non playable pinball table?
I’m not too sure on this one but to be fair to it it wasn’t one of heard of. Anyone out there have fond memories of the original?
