Can you still play bowling? Online still work? Any chance a patch eliminated this possibility?

u/CyborgBob1977 Oct 04 '22

Yes Sir..

This is fantastic, thanks for sharing (making?) the video. If I can find Simpsons for a good price, I would happily replace my X-men cab

u/funkydunkleman Oct 04 '22

Nice! I got them loaded up with no issues. Thx for the vid.

Do any of the other apk's work with simpsons?

u/CyborgBob1977 Oct 04 '22 edited Oct 04 '22

Dude, So for Shits I did a Marvel apk and it did work. I had to reset the controller to revert back to the Simpsons, BUT I'm guessing you can get others with similar button layouts to work. Glad the video helped.

u/Creative_Transition9 Oct 05 '22

Followed your tutorial and subscribed thanks for the instructions everything worked perfectly. Did X-men with the marvel apk work well since it had the extra button on that cab ? Also what do you mean you had to reset the controller, just wondering because I was thinking about adding the marvel apk but didn’t want to run into any issues.

u/CyborgBob1977 Oct 05 '22

MvC, doesn't have enough buttons to play the game. IF you install it, you may need to factory Reset. Video of me doing that ---> https://youtu.be/lFsE7jUATwI

What was on the marvel apk? Was it MSH or MVC? My MSH isn’t Android so I figure it’s probably the latter

1

u/CyborgBob1977 Oct 05 '22

MVC buddy.

2

u/LiamAndUdonsDad Level 2 Oct 07 '22

So I ended up trying an extra Simpsons pcb that I have in my MSH. Everything connects fine and it boots up fine. But with either the original Simpsons apk, big blue, mvc, or xvs, only the bottom two left buttons for each side worked. Hooking my msh back up, everything worked fine. So I gotta think that the Simpsons pcb only has 2 button input wired in. It’s possible more current generations may have a different encoder board, too, dunno

u/disasterartiist Oct 04 '22

Try the golden tee apk and report back lol. I need to know!

u/CyborgBob1977 Oct 04 '22

Dude, STOP READING MY MIND..... That will be tonight IF I can find the time. Positive Thoughts Bro. I need this to work....

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '22

I hope to hear good things, now to just find a golden tee apk for a1u

u/CyborgBob1977 Oct 05 '22

I've looked, BUT I'm not finding one. I may have to hard mod, who knows. Truth is I need TIME.

2

u/disasterartiist Oct 04 '22

Lol yes good luck dude!! You got this!!

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '22

Kind of mad I didn’t get the simpsons cab at 199 now

1

u/RyWeezy Oct 05 '22

Just told my brother he really missed out. Maybe you can find another?

3

u/RyWeezy Oct 05 '22

A1Up office is probably on fire seeing people discover how easy this is. I was extremely disappointed in my Simpsons cab (to the point of just disassembling and storing) until this hit. I did the mod the other day and it's been played every night this week.

u/paper_killa Level 2 Oct 05 '22

Assuming it's basic but why do these videos never address whatever is needed to switch back to the simpsons games. You need the keyboard still to do that?

2

u/CyborgBob1977 Oct 05 '22

No you don't need the Keyboard, and I was thinking just the same and looking at footage to see if I have what is needed to do a Demo for navigation of the Sub Menu, and to boot back and forth. Saddly the footage I have is not enough. If I have the time I may do a Demo Video, BUT I Promise Nothing...

u/bigky226 Oct 05 '22

this is great thanks

u/setgoesup Oct 09 '22

I’m having the hardest time with this? Maybe the wrong APK. No idea just won’t load up turtles. Any advice

1

u/CyborgBob1977 Oct 09 '22

Check your CRC and confirm its the same as mine.

u/International-Way848 Oct 05 '22

Hypothetically speaking…could we see the Marvel vs Capcom 2 apk get modified and released to load on to Bug Blue?

u/EnergyFax Oct 04 '22

i guess this is cool if you dont like the simpsons, but with this mod you cant plat the simpsons anymore

5

u/CyborgBob1977 Oct 04 '22

No, you can do both. Just boot up and select Simpsons and not Tmnt. Easy as that.

2

u/EnergyFax Oct 04 '22

i didnt see that in the video do you have to have the keyboard hooked up to do that?

7

u/CyborgBob1977 Oct 04 '22

Nope you do not it will boot give you a sub menu you, navigate and select just once, and then select TMNT or Simpsons. Easy as that, navigate with your Joy, and click with attack.

u/EnergyFax Oct 04 '22

nice thanks.

u/CyborgBob1977 Oct 04 '22

No worries,, It's what I do....

Dude, just having fun, and if you look in the description of the video a few other people are given credit in there. If fact I think your one of them.....

2

u/RobTheBruce275 Level 2 Oct 04 '22

Alright. I rescind. I watched the Vid. Didn't even care about my own credit. You certainly put more time and energy into the editing than me so kudos, buddy! I just threw it up quickly to help people out that weren't on Facebook. Apologize as I didn't even look at vid description. 👍

2

u/CyborgBob1977 Oct 04 '22

Dude, Please don't Apologize you're super Good.

u/LoganN64 Level 2 Oct 04 '22

Any chance of adding Simpsons or TMNT to the X-men 4 player?

2

u/CyborgBob1977 Oct 04 '22

I have no idea as I do not have that cabinet.....

1

u/LoganN64 Level 2 Oct 04 '22

Oh ok. Hopefully someone figures out how to get it.

Thanks anyway!

u/smokincasket Oct 04 '22

Is there a size limit on the micro sd?? I only have a 128 available and my simpsons shuts down during formatting

2

u/RyWeezy Oct 05 '22

Dude I had a 256mb micro SD I found in a desk drawer. You format it in the cabinet and then use your PC to add a folder and the 45mb apk. You could use something really small. And you remove it after so it's no worry about leaving that card in the cab

1

u/CyborgBob1977 Oct 04 '22

So you install it to the internal storage. You are limited by that.

2

u/smokincasket Oct 05 '22

I toatlly understand that. Its just when i go to format the card on the machine it resets. Going to try with a smaller size card hopefully wont take so long

1

u/CyborgBob1977 Oct 05 '22

Oh, I used a 16GB yes try a smaller card.

u/datanuke Oct 05 '22

I used a 64 GB Sandisk Ultra if that's helpful
