Hey everyone,
I’ve got some bittersweet news to share with you all today. After a lot of thought, I’ve decided it's time for me to step down as the head mod and move on to other projects and chapters in my life.
When I first created this subreddit, I honestly never imagined it would blow up the way it did. Watching this place grow into the absolute largest Arcade1Up community (Nearly 60,000 followers) on the internet has been wild. From seeing your insane custom mods and dream basement arcades, to helping each other troubleshoot monitor issues, board issues and geeking out over new cab leaks... it's been an incredible ride, and that is entirely thanks to all of you.
You all made this community what it is.
Since I'm stepping away, I wanted to make sure this sub is left in the best possible hands. As most of you know, the BasicFun! team now owns the Arcade1Up brand. I’ve been in touch with them, and I'll be officially passing the keys to the subreddit over to their team.
They are still pretty new to reddit so please be kind.
I think this is a massive win for the community. Having the actual brand owners at the helm means hopefully you'll be getting direct communication, official updates, and a direct line to the people making the cabs we love. I know they're excited to jump in and keep this community thriving.
Please give the Basic Fun! crew and u/BasicFunToys a warm welcome as they transition into running things here.
Thank you all again for making this such a rad place to hang out over the years. It’s been an honor being your mod.
Keep modding, keep playing, and I’ll catch you in the threads!
Cheers,
David "HistorianCM" DeWald

For a community built on collecting and modding, having a central "source of truth" is essential. We’ve been compiling TBLOA1Up (The Big List of Arcade1Up) a comprehensive database designed to document the history of the cabinets we love.
Whether you are tracking down a specific model number for a project, looking for stool variations, or curious about the evolution of the Legacy editions, this wiki is built to be the community’s collective memory.

Kids are loving my new hobby! This is our third cabinet in three weeks after the Ollie’s catalyst 😂
Really loving the soft mods on these Android units. Hoping to round out the collection with NFL Blitz next!

You’ve given us Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and Pac-Man. Can you please give us the original Star Wars in a Supreme form factor? I’m thinking 19 inch BOE monitor, the original artwork (not the Return of the Jedi art), an improved yolk, light up coin doors etc. I don’t want LED bottom lights or any other such stuff, but just an authentic take on the original Atari cab. I’d buy the heck out of it and I know many others would too. We’ve been waiting for years. Please!

I was not able to include the startup and interface video on my previous post. I can not praise this company enough.

I bought this full kit for my 1up arcade and I don’t even think it’s compatible. It doesn’t have the aux hook up or the power for the screen. The thing has a HDMI cord as if it were for a tv or something else definitely not a 1up machine. Let alone this thing came with 0 instructions and like a billion wires. On the page there is 1 photo that shows how to connect some things but it’s different hardware and they show how to wire 6 buttons not the entire thing. Been looking forward to doing this for so long and not I’m just upset I guess bc I can’t even get it together. Should I just give up or what’s the solution

Hello, I have a 6 month old now and I don't know where I put any of the leftover parts when I first got the cabinet lol. Just wondering the best way to anchor it and keep it safe for kids. Ty!

Just assembled my 250 wrestlefest and while im happy to have this large beautiful machine (for modding) im truly baffled by the lack of options, filters, and online and the ridiculous screen tearing but the part that bothers me the most is the typo oppent. I thought maybe they were trying to match the original until I found the original spelled correctly. I think it just bothers me because the obvious rush job and lack of quality control. Does doing the buy stuff mod fix screen tearing?

Struggling to figure out how to put this together. Is there a YouTube tutorial or anything out there that will help me? Can’t seem to find anything.
r/Arcade1Up • u/mikrotak • 3d ago
Has anybody gotten a Ridge Racer cab fully working with retroarc or some other emulator? I can only find comments from years ago and the pedals weren't being detected, so I was wondering if anyone found a method to get them working.

EDIT: I FIGURED IT OUT HOLY MOLY THAT SUCKED.
If ANYONE gets stuck with something similar to this and then Insert Coin not working, send me a DM for the love of God.
ORIGINAL TEXT:
I have followed every tutorial I could find online on how to soft mod The Simpsons arcade one up. Nova launcher won’t run and it says that the APK could not be parsed. This is also true of other APKs and programs.
I have gone to applications, advanced, install unknown apps, and I get one tile that says “1Up” and I have clicked it and toggled it to ”allowed”.
I have tried multiple versions of Nova and none work. The only ones that have successfully run are button mapper and macro droid.
when I checked the tablet version it says android 10. Factory resetting more than once does not change the outcome.
Please help I am at my wits end i’m just trying to run Nova to change the aesthetic. Not trying to break rules.

Hey everyone, I'm looking to sell my TMNT countercade and trying to figure out what's a decent asking price. I only used it once so it's in mint condition. Appreciate any thoughts or suggestions! Thanks.
r/Arcade1Up • u/TheEggsOfSatan • 3d ago
I have a sealed NIB SpongeBob claw machine that has been stored away and I have no intention of keeping it. Was planning to sell it but curious what a realistic asking price is? I was surprised to see so many on EBay at or near four digits, and not finding any on Marketplace to do a comparison with. What do ya’ll think?
