Most of your troubles are down to the rubbish excuse for an encoder, a very slow CPU, and slow emulator, as well as retooled rooms. Doesn't help that the controllers are also rubbish. The programmers of the emulator did a lot of screen frame skips in order to try to reduce some of the audio to video desync issues we saw with the first wave of cabinets. I'm also noticing these laggy input errors on my Pac-Man Deluxe, and Class of 81 deluxe cabinets. Most annoying, when trying to play Pac-Man, or Ms Pac-man. You end up missing turns round corners. The AtGames Legends Ultimate is even worse, theough AtGames refuses to admit it. I have one of those, too. I think you're doing the right thing in modding the cabinet. I'd even bypass the A1up encoder board with a proper ipac controller, or something. Thanks for the video. Hope you got it all sorted.
That's why I bought a real machine, $499+ is too expensive for such... crap quality, I've played the 1up cabs before and I'm glad real full size machines are still made, the buttons are my problem, along with the screen. Sometimes they straight up don't work, a table 1up I played before, the buttons felt cheap and didn't work all the time, terrible so I usually played pac-man. And finally the games are higher pitch.
My Pac-Man Deluxe has issues with Galaga as well. Like the framerate isn't 100% and maybe a slight delay on input. When my best game on my gen 1 Galaga drops from 3.2 million down to 1.1 million on the Pac-Man Deluxe I know the emulation is off. Also the sound isn't quite right. Like the fireing sounds "squeeky" or something. Galaxian seems to have a simular issue. They got the colors and sound right this time compared to the gen 1 version but it's got a simular frame rate / input issue it feels like. My best so far on the Pac-Man Deluxe is about 34,000. My best on my gen1 Galaga cabinet is 103,000. Yeah, there are definite emulation issues. It feels like an update that was run fixed some other games... Or at least improved the perfomance, but Galaga an Galaxian are screwed up on the newer cabinet. The only difference in the "roms" used for Galaga that I can see is the gen 1 version was the one that could only display 5 extra ships maximum. It looks like the newer version is the one that can display up to 8. (I had it up to 6 extra ships).

Check out my new video.
We are all good now with the build.
Even fitted 4 to 8 way gate switch motor.
