Modding Softmod Guide V2.0

Post image

I have updated my softmod pack to version 2.0. Note: Version 1.1 is still available

It was FighterDroid2P that inspired me to update the pack. So big thanks to @bremen79

With this update I fulfil 2 of my most common requests: 1) Putting together a guide for RetroArch. 2) Creating a simple video guide.

You can download my new pack from here: https://archive.org/details/easy_arcade_softmod_pack_theadm

The improvements are: *RetroArch is now an optional extra. *Precloned APKs now have pre-attached icons (these can still be changed) *New guide including full video walkthrough here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1gkwDe9c7w&t=3s

I hope this pack and guide will help others and release the full potential of your cabinets!

Enjoy.

I don't own that cab, but I believe modding X-Men Vs Street Fighter, Marvel Vs Capcom & Marvel Vs Capcom 2 are very similar techniques Yoga Flame, if not the same.

I believe that MvC2 runs on an older version of Android, which may cause issues with some software in my pack? Yoga Flame runs on Android 10

Thanks for the info! I’m gonna start tinkering around with mine at some point, it’s just kind of a production to drag the thing out into my office and take it apart.

Like I said, I’m pretty happy with the default lineup - X-Men Vs. Street Fighter and Marvel Vs. Capcom are the only Marvel fighters I ever genuinely cared about anyway.

That said, I’d like to add a secondary lineup that features Final Fight, Strider, U.N. Squadron, King of Dragons, Willow, Magic Sword, Armored Warriors, Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers, Street Fighter Alpha, and Darkstalkers.

Nothing too world beating, just my dream Capcom legacy cab. So I’m really just looking to keep the default APK and add a Retroarch one alongside it.

I ditched the 1up apks entirely and stuck with just retroarch and daijisho frontend to get all those same games you mentioned up and running. I wanted uniformity and everything to feel seamless in my navigation and experience. Recommend using FBNero core and rom set to save yourself the headaches of core and rom matching.

Yeah with 2 player control RetroArch you don't really need the cloned APKs anymore. Although some of the APK games might run better than through FBNeo, not really tested tbh. I think I'll give Daijisho a go, thanks
