One upgrade you might like is adding a servo motor for each stick to switch from 4 to 8 way.
Ultimark builds those as well and the sticks are very nice and can be lighted as well!
I've heard, they look sick. Thanks for the checkin in man!
Yo Scan!!! Super informative video!!! The LED BLINKY looks insane on your machine! The wires brought my anxiety to a peak! I will keep mine as is for sure! You are a beast in this game… keep those fire vids coming!
You needed a gummy just to watch it, I'm sure 😂😂
Nice to see you join the Led blinky train! Ultimark makes some sick stuff!
It was long overdue lol.
Looks great brother.
Here is what I did on mine, added lighted sticks as well with servo motors:

Such a good and informative video! I know you will love how it’ll make your machine POP!
"I learned it by watching you." #Drugs
Super dope bro! Just when you think you've done everything, you show up with more goodies.
We never quit, do we, homie? Never ends man 😂👊
@@Scantron5k we don't bro. Just continue to innovate and make better. Keep going bro.
Thanks for sharing that!
Appreciate the awesome video! I've been waiting over a year to get my LED blinky lights back working sent my PC and all off to David for an unrelated issues and failed to mention I had LED buttons and when it came back they no longer worked😢 Thanks...
Glad you liked it, man!
Great video. I finally am convinced to update to RGB and LEDblinky.
What trackball you are using? Didn’t understand the brand or make. Also what joystick and controllers you using? I am using sanwa and zero delay cheap ones. I am unhappy because P1 and P2 sometimes swap when I reboot or if a USB gets disconnected.
Keep up the great videos!
Thanks bro. As far as the trackball goes, I'm a trackball snob and I only use Happ track balls that are the same as what would be in a Golden Tee machine. Use my 5% off code to buy from t-mobile.com and you can get all of your buttons and a special RGB light that mounts under the Happ track ball. You just need to get the translucent trackball so that the RGB light will shine through it. I have Sanwa joysticks. Never had a problem with them.
@@Scantron5k thank you the the info.
I spy the Misfits! Nice job with the machine, looking to do the same.
Lmfao good catch.
Bro amazing explanation video. Thank you for explaining this the way you did. Do you have a link to the script for the mame you mentioned for led blinky ? I would love that.
Hey man, thanks for the props. I'm still waiting on one of my boys to finish chopping up the actual button mapping process. I'll throw that link in the description when I have it. As far as the script goes, I don't have a link for that. Sorry.
@@Scantron5k awesome brotha yes please share when you get the chance. Anything helps. Thanks again.
Do you have a separate board for you joystick? My joystick has 5 pins and not sure what to do with it?
I don't have RGB joysticks so no, I don't have a board for them.
I found it always fun😃if you have an upgrade video that’s arcade/Pinball related.Want me to make my own project’s.Have a nice day Bro😉
Where do u buy the button and trackball themselves
All of the links, as well as my discount code to buy these parts are in the description and discussed in the video.
That tool to attach the buttons. Where I can find one? Thanks
I've had mine for like 20 years. No idea where I got it, but I think t-molding.com might sell them. Use my promo code if so.
Some time ago my buttons have apparently re assigned themselves because none of the buttons do what they were originally assigned to do. So now it's pc and xbox controller games only. Mame/ trackball games have been DOA for over a year😢 tbh its made this cabinet a big giant useless boat anchor in my room and I rarely even bother turning it on
I'm surprised you haven't called David and asked him to help you troubleshoot to correct the issue.
@Scantron5k I think it may be time to upgrade to the led blinky such as yourself. Without getting to nosey on your finances, what was the ballpark price for the button upgrade. With your video here I should be able to upgrade and work out the glitch. Thanks for the reply, it's appreciated!!🤘🤘
@@chadnixon4236 Hey dude, all good. You can plan to spend roughly $500. Use my promo code for 5% off 👊
@Scantron5k AWESOME!! that shouldn't cut into my fireball budget to bad! Thanks for the info, looks like I'll be upgrading. Thanks for the help and videos bro!!
Hi there, I'm a PR manager interested in collaborating with you . Could you please tell me the best way to get in touch with you? Thank you very much!
My social links are in the description. A FB message is fine.
Now there’s one more thing to do and your machine will be complete get rid of those Aimtraks and convert gun4ir lol but you we want to be the last dinosaur on earth I see I can’t help ya lol 😂😂😂
Lol, just ain't worth buying them brah.
I said it once and I’ll say it 12837474 times more. Your boy Dave over at EHA should’ve tossed you a completely free cabinet fully loaded with all the bells and whistles. You have the absolute most duplicated machine in all of EHA. Hell your machine set up even encouraged my machine’s appearance from a completely different company and now every machine from ARF is looking like my cabinet which is an absolute copy cat of yours. You’ve probably sold more machines for Dave than anyone else. It would cost that man next to nothing to toss you a free fully loaded cabinet. If I owned EHA that’s what I would’ve done. Dave if you see this give this man a free fully loaded EHA cabinet and I bet you, you’ll sell 50 more in the first week after people see whatever tf this man comes up with design wise. It’s silly not to at this point.
I noticed the ARF page is selling my design almost exclusively… do you know if that's based on demand or if he just pumps them out like that by default now?
Crazy…
@@Scantron5k brother I have no idea. The funny thing is I had to talk him into doing the scantron layout. I had to explain to him why I wanted it I even showed him your video as to why it’s set up that way and he still was against it. Eventually he saw the light. I have zero influence or say in anything he does I’m just a customer.
Both boards can handle the 39 buttons?
Yep. Plus the trackball. If you have more buttons than that, you'll need one more pac LED board and you can hook up another 20 buttons to that if needed.
