The Pac-Man cabinet is really cool but wouldn't it be a hell of a lot more fun if it had more games. Why settle for 2 Pac-Man games when you can have 412 games on one system! I will show you how to mod your Pac-Man for the ultimate retro gaming experience!

Pro tip: clamp a board on bottom where you are gonna drill out the hole. No blowout will happen if you do this. Makes for clean cuts on both sides.

@arcade1upfan793 5 лет назад

Great Video! Thanks for taking time to show all the work! I did a very similar mod to my centipede cabinet. Almost exactly the same process. I just added a new trackball. One other thing that really helps game play, is that I installed 2 joysticks, one for 4 way playing games and one for 8 way playing games.

@nothingincommon 5 лет назад

Another tip if you put blue painters masking tape on the under side while drilling the holes for the buttons and joystick it won't break chunks off like yours did a bit there. Great video.

@billmcdonald2436 2 года назад

What I like to do is go half way through until the pilot part of the but pokes through and flip the board and use the pilot hole to line up the bit on the bottom side and finish drilling the hole

@nothingincommon 2 года назад

@kcpiranha58 5 лет назад

I dont know if its been said but heres a tip for doing guide holes where you dont go too far wrap a piece or tape around the drill bit where you want to stop for depth if that makes sense.

@toaddawet 5 лет назад

Nice video! Fun to see how the Jamma setup works, and I haven't tried that route yet. I was thinking this morning about a possible Pac-Man mod if I end up being able to buy that cabinet, so finding this video was great :) Thanks! +subbed

@jaybee1158 4 года назад

Nice idea with the double sided tape. I didn’t have any and had no money so had to lay the board upside down on something high and then putting the joystick in while I could see underneath..

@mynameisprivate158 5 лет назад

LOL yea it is always the little things like double sided sticky tape that are a pain and aggravate the crap outta me ! Paradise arcade shop sells adaptor plates to make new controllers fit the old screw holes. There not really important for arcade 1up control panels since they aren't drilled through the top.

@Medic7000 5 лет назад

Sorry if you mentioned in the video already but wasn’t the game Elf a POS as you mentioned in your first video? Is this a different version or does it run slow like the other one? Also, I saw a video of a guy running arcade1up with an android g-box and was wondering if you ever used it? Thanks for all the videos!

@RetroRalph 5 лет назад

Medic7000 Good memory 😉 I do mention the game elf (horizontal) in the video. This is the vertical version of the game elf. It’s actually a lot better than the other board I tested. It’s not perfect and it has some Issues but it’s much more enjoyable than its horizontal brother. 👍🏻. I own a g-box as well, It’s not something I’ve done a lot of testing on so I can’t say much... yet. I will probably do a review on it at some point. Thanks for watching and for supporting the channel.

@Medic7000 5 лет назад

Hi Ralph thanks for the videos again. Sorry if you already mentioned it, but did you use the same drill bit to make the new button holes on the plexiglass cover?

@RetroRalph 5 лет назад

Medic7000 Great question and thanks for your support of the channel. I haven’t done the plexi cover yet. I don’t think I would use that drill bit for the plexi though. I think it would crack the plexi due it its design. I can’t say this for certain because I haven’t done it yet but I would think a hole saw would do the trick. Might be good to put something underneath the plexi when you drill into it to avoid cracking.

@xtremevette2 5 лет назад

Hi Ralph! What system do you recommend for ease and quality of the games. Mainly the top 60 classics. Should I go with Jamma or Pandora? I am going to make a cabinet and I have an extra arcade 1up monitor. I really want a cab that I can play my classics on as well as possibly a few others later on such as battletoads, road runner, Qbert. What I dont want is like hundreds of games to have to sort through. This will just be a custom multicade of my favorite games. Iam trying to keep it simple as this will be my first build. Thanks for the tips man.

@RetroRalph 5 лет назад

Well I think the 60 in 1 does a great job with the classics. It's a better collection of classics than the Pandora's box. I feel the PB has side-scrolling beat em' up's and fighting games covered but for classics, you're better off with the 60 in 1.

@mtechiggins1975 5 лет назад

Great videos, I have the Pac-Man cab as well. Never modified anything game related. Looked into the pyb site and they have the whole 60 in 1 kit. Would you recommend that versus buying all the separate listed Amazon parts to do an inexpensive mod? And for first timers game elf? Pandora's box? Or the blee 60-1? Thanks.

@MarkNorville 5 лет назад

Constructive criticism, if you are trying to run a channel, at least invest in a decent microphone. I am on a 9.1 surround sound with volume set at a level that I can hear, however your voice is quiet, it might be better on my office PC as just a mono speaker, but on high end equipment, you are coming out far too low.

@RetroRalph 5 лет назад

@jasonfreer8569 5 лет назад

Hey Ralph, quick question about the GAME ELF. In another video you talked about lagging with the GAME ELF, were you able to fix this?

@RetroRalph 5 лет назад

Game Elf Horizontal is SUPER laggy... the Vertical board is better but still has some issues. I would just stay away from the horizontal Game Elf Board. I tried the adapter and corrected the grounding issues... still acts the same. You would be better off with a 3A games version of a Pandora's Box 6 if you want Plug N' Play. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!

Are you using the monitor that came with the 1up cabinet? How is that hooked up can you show please? I plan on modding my pacman to a MAME machine but if i can avoid having to buy another monitor that has VGA that would save some cash. Basically going to have an old computer sit inside the cabinet. I have the boards, wires, buttons and joysticks for the mod. Just not sure on what to do with the monitor as it uses a ribbon cable to connect.
