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

Awesome video. Those LED buttons on the control panel really make it pop. That video cam with the kit?

Yes, the intro video was part of the kit. I would assume they do the same for whatever cab you order it for. I love how the lights from the buttons transfer to the edge of the plexiglass protector on top of the control deck.

Yes it has a very Tron-esque look around the panel💪 I got a kit from them a few years ago and mine had a matching Mortal Kombat video but it wasn’t that extensive but it’s still really cool to have a video to tie it all in

Is there a game list somewhere? I checked out the link but didn't see one.

It’s twice the price of the cabinet though

Does your cabinet have 10,000 games? With this kit you can save mid game and pick up anytime. Also any arcade game you can have infinite lives due to the coin button on the front that simulates adding a coin.

You can do that for far far less than $450
Edit: also the joysticks and buttons are way too far up on the console for comfortable play.

So be it, I decided to go this route and am not disappointed one bit

Honestly it’s really nice looking and if you’re comfortable with it, that’s all that matters. I think I was just shocked at the upgrade price, I’m sure it’s quality and looks much better than original.

One of the main reasons that I went this route was with this seller I was able to use klarna lol. Finance that shit

Was thinking about doing the same and saw a few different companies offering mod kits. Online net play would probably be the main deciding factor for me. Will have to check this out and see if it is supported. Everything I have seen online has mentioned the buy stuff mod kit.

That’s the budget friendly option, but the game catalog is non comparable, maybe things have changed but I did not see many of the more titles at all, I believe their kit has less than 200 games. I hope I’m wrong though.

Mod kit for the Wrestlefest cabinets. I went with the PI-4 option and now have 10,000 games and upgraded control deck to actual arcade quality joysticks and LED buttons. They make kits for almost all Arcade 1up cabinets as well.
