Couple of quick notes: 0. When you UnRAR "TheWhiteRabbit.rar," you will have to go through three different RAR files before you reach the actual file. This is for Google related issues / security purposes only. 1. You can still play online with the original cab APK. Just set A1U to your home app. 2. If you're interested in online gaming, a Fightcade-like experience - check out GGPO for android which allows you to play a lot of these fighters online! 3. The best way to play Atomiswave games is to use the Dreamcast conversions. These can easily be found by searching Google, e.g., "Atomiswave to Dreamcast Collection." 4. To disable the “KILL PROCESS” prompt, goto settings>library, select: “Disable player warnings.” 5. YES. This works on Yoga Flame as well, but you must hit Win + N to get in the pull down menu and then select the settings gear in bottom right.
Thanks for the tutorial. I have several of these cabinets but I picked this one up over the holidays after watching your video. It's pretty good on its own but I feel like the soft mods are in a good place right now so I'm going to try and get this mod set up soon.
This is neat and I appreciate the effort but I already have a mame PC cab and I'm not a fan of retroarch so I'm going to keep my a1up stock. Thanks for showing the process! I'm sure it's helping a lot of people.
Huge shout out to Aphaon for the guide, and thanks for slapping this video tutorial for those who like this format better. Will definitely be doing this to my machine, could be the ultimate Capcom cab!
Finding out some of these run Andorid was the linchpin of inspiring me to buy one. That is so cool and seriously raises the potential of an A1U without having to yank all the stock hardware out. Hopefully that upcoming X-Men '97 MvC2 unit will be Android-based (I expect it to be).
I'm mid process here and this looks like a much simpler option than chucking a pi in the thing, which I was going to do. thanks for posting this guide. I'm at the apk install (from card to machine), but waiting on the download. didn't realize that wasn't here (obviously). so far, so good! really appreciate it. just to be clear, if one was to acquire roms and had them in folders by game system, where exactly on the sd card would they go? just dump them in roms and leave the game system folder names? edit: I think I got it. I see how later in the video. thanks again! very cool
I'm a dummy with pi's and stuff, and I believe the encoder in the deck will only work with the stock PCB. So, being able to mod the stock PCB makes it much easier. It looks a bit complicated, maybe a bit more than the Simpsons but it opens the door to more games on this cab. Is it harder to mod the Big Blue than this cab? I have Big Blue and this, but I didn't build the Deluxe yet.
Could you do a more in-depth video? I am completely new to all this and confused on what to download and where to put it in which folder or sub folder. Using your links I seem to be missing some items. If you could do a step-by-step process, showing where to go and moving what to where (other then where to get roms ofc) that would be tremendously helpful as this looks to be the best soft mod tutorial I could find but I am just tech illiterate
Hi Jayde, Yes I had the same hang up. I had to go back and check what I downloaded when I realized I only unzipped 3 files. Then I just created the file and sub files thinking I’m supposed to fill them. I was also a little confused on the button remapping as the video of you pressing the buttons doesn’t exactly match up with the screen showing the buttons. Would you kindly go over the button remapping again and give us input on the Arcade1up file? Thanks so much for this tutorial! I left off on the button remapping bc I ran out of time to work on it. Hoping to finish up and get retroarch running soon. Will keep you posted!
Hi, great guide, but when I try to download files from google drive it tells me... ------------------------------- Sorry, the file you requested does not exist. Make sure the URL is correct and the file exists. ------------------------------- be able to sort out the archives? Thank you
Hello, I have been trying this on my Yoga Fire pcb but I cant get the second player controls mapped in the standalone Flycast emulator. The Fighterroid app is on and running but the controls are funky from the start. Nothing registers in the emulator when trying to map. any suggestions?
So I could play Alpha 1 and 2 on this cab? Regular Super Street Fighter II (it only has Super Turbo)? SFII: The World Warrior? I also hate that they took out Winners Don't Use Drugs from the SFII games as well as Q Sound Virtual Audio screen with the special music from Super Turbo. Big Blue had it but when I updated the cab the Winners Don't Use Drugs and Q Sound Virtual Audio were gone from Super Turbo. The update added scanlines, though. I didn't build the Deluxe cab yet, I want to make it a Final Fight. The Drug screens are only on US arcade games between 1989-2000, not on Japanese or World/Europe games.
At around 6:10, you click the pencil and do something but I can't see exactly what. You mention using retroarch for everything, but I'm not sure how you "select" it in the pencil settings area. Any advice? I got this far but I'm unable to actually launch any roms. I get an error about killing processes and if I kill or don't kill, it doesn't matter, I get a blank screen and have to restart the machine. I've only tried mame/arcade so far, but I figured that would be easiest. I think it has something to do with the settings you talk about, butt can't actually see what you select because it's all zoomed in and fast
The issue is related to the proper emulator. There are two options: 1st, try and select retroarch 64. It will tell you that you don’t have that and ask if you’d like to select from an available list - in which case say yes and select retroarch 32 - fbalpha or Retroarch 32 CP-1. The second option is to try selecting retroarch 32 - fbalpha from the emulator menu. For killing process, it won’t be a problem when you select the correct emulator. But you can also bypass that in the settings menu of Daijisho. Once in settings>library, select: “Disable player warnings”
@@NEONBattleBitch so, I switched to 64 and got the prompt, but my only choices are mame - retroarch 32 - mame2003, 2003_midway, 2003_plus, mame - retroarch 32 - mame2000, mame - retroarch 32 - mame2010. These are listed as available players (?). I feel like I can't find the emulator menu but keep finding players. I can only find "player settings" in the menu not an option to select emulator
@@NEONBattleBitch hmmm, I hadn't. I feel like I'm missing something big here. Gonna review a few times and see what I messed up. I thought I was done haha, but I'm lost with these questions. I did add those cores like you just said, but still not seeing the options, and just getting frozen when I try and start something. I'm going to go through it all again and see what I messed up. I'm not seeing the og arcade1up options either, so I've definitely messed something up. Sorry for using up your time after you've already done so much. I'm gonna figure this out!
Your name is Jayde? That is a pretty name. You have nice long brown hair and bangs, and in a preview pic for this video you are wearing big dark round plastic frame glasses. Do you need glasses to correct your vision? I like big plastic frames. Clear ones are popular now. And women gamers are in the minority but it's nice to see them. I like my Arcade1ups. It lets me have an arcade in my room and I have a few that can be softmodded, like The Simpsons, and now T2 can be softmodded, and Big Blue can as well.
I don’t think this was mentioned anywhere, but is there a way to add a shortcut to Daijisho to access the original A1UP Apk? Or is that only done through nova launcher?
hey jade, with this soft mod, can we set it to which game wed want it to automatically boot into, say i changed the marquee title to say darkstalker, or Street fighter III?
The cost is substantially less (free if you already have an SD card & keyboard), it's just as powerful as a Pi4 or low-end 5, and there is no hassle of dealing with swapping out hardware (e.g. control board, monitor parts for HDMI, etc.) It makes zero sense to use an RPi (unless you want to waste time and money), and a mini PC is only useful if you want to play hardcore 3D games like (MAME) Gauntlet, Blitz, etc.
@@NEONBattleBitch Wow that's pretty amazing, surprised I've never heard of this! My cabinet is the Street Fighter Legacy though, is that more outdated than what's used in this version or do the same tricks apply? My main goal is to play games like Marvel vs Capcom 2, Third Strike, ect.
Yoga flames don’t have very much space to work with, make sure you have enough space if you’re installing it on board, or have it install to the memory card. I installed it on a yoga flame PCBA without any issues. Also double check your dev mode settings and make sure you disabled the proper security settings as pointed out in the tutorial.
hi, I followed the guide but the link you put in the comments is missing the one for the A1u apk folder, I don't know how to do it without it :( in the description there are only 3 links
@@NEONBattleBitch hi my dear,i have all the apks but nova and daijisho it won't let me install ... he says "there was a problem parsing the package" I also have administrator permissions as performed in your guide, I don't understand how this is possible

Well i think thats awesome how u did this and shared, unfortunately still a foreign language to me! Great share!
And this is why I want one of the street fighter ones cause of all the extra buttons you can play a ton of old retro games
OMG thank you so much! This is the best tutorial I have seen so far! I love that you included how to tweak the settings in retro arch. Super helpful!

Amazing tutorial - the only feature I'm hoping for is fightcade or similar netplay support.
Well done. Seems like a soild diy. Nice piece of Content. Hope to see more like it in the future.

Very comprehensive walkthrough. Great job!

Just ordered a Yoga Flame machine and can't wait to try this on it
You could have just shown it booting PowerStone and I'd have been sold. Well done!
Great Job Jayde! Love soft mods!
Thanks Patrick 😊
this is cool jayde, got something to do next weekend now, lol

Anyway u can sell us fully loaded SD card where we can just plug and play? For non techies?
Great tutorial... I'm getting closer and closer to swapping my big blue for the deluxe. Any chance you've gotten Killer Instinct going on this?

Can't you just hit the Windows and N key to get to the settings quicker? That's what I've do when messing with my Droid cabs.
Not on this one.
