It's a little hard to follow when you already have everything configured, however, I appreciate you taking the time to make this video for us! What's the purpose of app cloner when previously you've already installed the apk in the android system? Shouldn't just be able to open it and play it? My android knowledge is very basic so I'm trying to understand each step before I do it. Thanks!!
@@radito58 I have not, here's the link - czcams.com/video/f4pOE632EEQ/video.html The reason for app cloner is they install as the same name. If there are newer versions that have been renamed internally then you don't need that app.
It installs but I didn't try it out as I have it already. I heard the controls are not correct on yoga and similar cabs but I may test it out later. I have not for MvC2, I heard it requires more work and doesn't run smoothly. It would be nice as I can clear Xvs and MvC as one in MvC2 plus the actual MvC2 game so I may try later if it can be smoothed out.
@@aValexV Thanks. I'm in the process of doing this right now - I seem to be missing a step, are we supposed to set the SD card as the device storage (I imagine the APKs will keep installing on the small internal HD otherwise), do you know how to set that up so that the SD is the device storage? Also it seems like the App Cloner you linked causes an error on the APKs when I clone them. It says that the app wasn't cloned using an official version of the app. Quite stumped here.
@@Calwinn Make sure to select the right activity of the apk after installing. For the storage I had plenty but will make a video showing how to on external SD.
TMNT "works" fine except the direction controls are messed up. left and right moves up and down and vice versa. To me this makes the game unplayable. If you can remap the buttons somehow, it would be a great addition to the cabinet. (same issue with The Simpsons)
The android software in my big blue cabinet won’t let me access external SD or Flashdrive I have tried formatting them in every way? Do I need to format the SD card as internal storage? And if so what do I use to put apks on the SD card use my MacBook? When I click on the gear icon then the storage SD I get a settings error? Is my android software not compatible on my cabinet?
I formatted to portable storage in the cabinet. I also used a MacBook for this and it all worked. Have you tried formatting the card in your Mac and then put it in the cab? Or another sd card?
@@aValexV yeah I have tried this also I don’t think it is the formatting that is the problem may be the android software? But then again there is no system updates available. My software looks older than what you have in your video.
windows + N isn't working for me. I have the Street Fighter II deluxe cab, which uses android, but it seems like that's been disabled so the menu can't be brought up.
I’m confused! Are you supposed to download the APKs that will overwrite your 1up game because when I go to the app clowner I have nothing in there? Or are we supposed download the apks from the cloner
@@danhimself4451 the name seemed to have been changed on the site that had the other Arcade1up files, its now labeled as Tmnta1up. Its archived on that site under that new name, I couldn't find it either for a little bit.
@@aValexV Hey Alex. Finding the file wasn’t my problem it was figuring out how to use the app cloner to download the file as I was following your video to a T and that part was at the end of your video, However, I was able to figure it out and now I have the files named correctly and organized through the app finder. Now I’m stuck at creating a shortcut for them….I can’t create the translucent icon so I can select which apk I want to use. I have the wallpaper but struggling with the shortcut.
@@markbyersmith3279 I’m working on a expanded version of this tutorial, hopefully that will help explain any gaps that I’ve had in this one since some of the process was already done.
@@aValexV THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANSWERING, I've got one last question, do you know if this version (Arcade 1up Street Fighter Legacy Edition from 2021) is modable/hackable? thank you so much for answering!
Is there a way to just add single games to the Capcom cabs without installing the whole launcher/menu system of the other cabs for example the way you can add just tmnt to the Simpsons cab and it appears on the game menu screen without having to put the whole launcher/menu for tmnt on it
Thanks for the video Im almost there using this method on my yoga flame however when go to start a game on nova im getting this app was cloned using a non official version of app clone I used the version linked below any ideas ?
You have selected the wrong activity when selecting one for the shortcut. Redo the nova activity shortcut and select the other activity under the app. I believe its labeled legalactivity as shown in the video.
@@aValexV You are a Legend Thank You so much for replying so quick. I was about to give up and spend hours/days looking it up on the web and this solved my problem. A big Coffee coming your way 😃 Keep up the great videos
I finally made it on my Big Blue (via adb), but the buttons are not working... I can launch the other games, but cannot start a game. Does anyone have the same problem?
Right now, big blue, yoga flame/shinku, mvc1, turtles in time, Simpsons, ridge racer, X-men vs street fighter, and MvC2. Now depending which can will determine which and how many you can load successfully
Are you able to play MvC2 online on the A1up servers with a soft modded Yoga Flame? Also what level of emulator will run on Retroarch (e.g. Dreamcast, PS1&2) ?
Thank you so much for your reply. I appreciate it...last question Do you know of a way to add games to the mk 30th cabinet it also has the USB on the board
No, Bigblue, Yoga/Shinku, MvC1, MvC2, Xmen vs SF, Simpsons, Turtles in Time are all the current android based arcades. We are assuming going forward they will be as well so possibly all new release versions may. Re-releases of previous cabinets probably wont be.
The first NBA Jam cabinet is the one I have. It has a micro 2.0 usb port. How can I access that? Also I have a new in the box pcb of that NBA Jam cab. How do I access it on my mac desktop? Been trying to find answers everywhere. Please hit me up pronto. Would really like to talk to you cause this is the closest thing I've seen yet.
@@aValexV How can you tell if a cabinet is android or not? And there is nothing that can be done to a pcb with a micro 2.0 port on it? Lastly, how do you think codemystics accesses these pcb's?
@@teddyy80 I do not know how they access it. If you join the group they have a list of the cabinets that are android but if you plug in a usb keyboard and press windows+n and android menu will pop up if it is android . Right now there’s nothing that can be done to others besides gutting it and putting another device as the brain
@@aValexV ah, I thought you said wifi enabled were compatible in the vid, but you are right about Android. I've just started looking at soft modding my cab, and adding DIG with a MAME set seems like the best way to go to get MK in there.

Huh, I didn't know these were Android-powered. That's neat.
Definitely wanted to add shinku hadoken games to my MVC1! Thank you!
happy to share
Mine is limited also. I was hoping I could just add some more ROMs in the ROM directory and it wold work.. I guess not :(
Hi, I saw you listed the cabinets. Just wanted to ask. What is shinku? As in the street fighter shinku hadoken color?
The blue cab, same as yoga flame but blue color instead of red
My yoga flame won't recognize the keyboard or mouse but my Simpsons does... Any clue what's going on?
Check if your USB port is still good; mine went bad and I have to connect via microUSB now.
Thanks for this. Does TMNT APK work on the Yoga Flame? Also have you ever attempted to get MVC2 on this?

You can get mvc2 but it is only playable on mvc2 cabinet. Yoga flame or big blue apks for sf
Will this work on the Mortal Kombat II legacy classic Cab (MKB-A-303720) ?
@@jimwinges6492 no
windows + N isn't working for me. I have the Street Fighter II deluxe cab, which uses android, but it seems like that's been disabled so the menu can't be brought up.

It won’t let me clone the apk says it’s protected. Not sure what to do but I’m completely stuck
New ones are available and do not need to be cloned anymore. I will link them soon.
Can I add Mortal Kombat 9 to the MKII Deluxe cabinet?
Not with a soft mod approach unless it’s now android based which I don’t believe so
Will beat them ups like Tmnt or The Simpsons work on a two player cabinet on big blue?
They will install however the joystick controls are reversed so not playable.
Will this work on the Pac-Man XL arcade they're selling at Costco?
No
Can you hack the Tempest cabinet?
Can you provide use the Arcade1up apk please 🙏. Thank you . Like the “big blue” ? X-men vs street fighter?
They are easy to find online
