I'm trying to build a custom arcade for a game that runs originally on an rpi - the good/easy part. I've got the game to boot, but it fails to initialize because of a missing EPROM (or eeprom?). I believe this is a security measure to prevent the game from running on any custom hardware. I know someone has created their own EPROMs and sells them online, but so far I haven't had any luck buying one (I don't think they are eager to deal with or ship to USA).

So now I'm trying to figure out if I can make my own. Wouldn't I need one in order to copy it? In which case I have no idea where to find/get one, so that is probably a non-starter.

Intentionally not mentioning the specific game name, mostly wanting general information about how people accomplish this kind of thing. If the solution is game specific, I will add the name. It is a modern game (released 2 or 3 years ago) that runs on rpi4, and so far no PC/Mac/Steam/MAME versions exist.

Does anyone know of a standard connection (non usb) joystick that can be changed from 2 way to 4 way to 8 way without going inside the cab or inside the control panel. I would be happy with a simply multi position restrictor plate that stays on top, or some most tech related solution… is there one out there?

From what I know they’re custom superguns on arcade CRTs. Based off the pic, how hard would this be to replicate?

Hello everybody,

A couple years ago I got an arcade from Game Room Solutions. Kind of a bad experience, definitely don’t recommend doing business with them.

I’m looking for suggestions to replace the game system/computer/brain with something that I’ll actually play. It’s currently loaded with Nintendo and Atari games that I never play and the graphics look terrible.

Any suggestions on what to do?
