Do you have a graphics card in your PC? That might be important along with the general specs if someone was to copy this to see what kind of power you need to run the cab at the 1080p settings your are using

Just thrilled (dripping sarcasm) to hear about your problems with your unit. I haven’t even gotten mine out of the box yet. Thanks also to Game Stop (more sarcasm) Came home to find the box sitting on the sidewalk in front of the house I’m staying at. No e-mail heads up from Game Stop, no shipping notification, nothing, zip, just a box sitting on the sidewalk....(Ninth Ward in New Orleans) Where things have a tendency to magically disappear.... And neither David Copperfield or Mr Scott in the Enterprise transporter room are involved. So you can understand how thrilled I was... Wish me luck Doug. Even though these mods are WAY above my pay grade I always enjoy your posts. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻😎

Wow Doug! - One of your best videos! I am sooo excited to see how you add haptics, accelerometer, and analog plunger to this. I have built my own vpin, but it is lacking those addons. I have been looking into adding them, but getting good info is difficult, most people recommend a very expensive solution $300-700 to add those. I didn't want to spend that much on my first vpin. You always explain things very well, so I am REALLY looking forward to your next video on this. Love the channel, long time subscriber - Take Care :)

@misterkeebler 3 года назад

Sounds like this is going to be a really fun series of videos to watch! I need more space before buying pinball, but I like the idea of using a PC and changing the back area to a monitor to match the game as opposed to buying multiple VP cabs. I never really took a close look at the DMD before, but I dont understand why they can include something like that without issue on the pinball, yet be so hesitant to confirm inclusion on a Dragon's Lair cab. Hopefully they figure that screen solution out soon. I much rather pay extra for a proper second screen and not possibly using my own, versus getting some deluxe edition that includes another stool or something. Lol. Sidenote; I know you originally started looking at these products just because they were more cool toys (pun intended) for the community, and now you've sort of been given this extra pressure to *immediately* inform the Arcade1up community of any red flag or update you come across lol. I guess it comes with the territory. Hopefully you are still having fun with everything. I appreciate the videos and whatever you decide to present to us when you have the chance to do so.

Thanks so much for a great and informative video. You mentioned that you don't recommend getting one of these if your intent is just to mod them. Any other kits you'd recommend? I love the Star Wars theme and really would need that smaller scale of cabinet for my room, so modding this cabinet seems like a solid fit for me. I'm much more comfortable on the PC modding side than in building a cabinet from scratch, so some sort of kit appeals.

@argcades 3 года назад

Very cool introduction for people who are starting on virtual pinball... One note for you, that may help you in the future. Dont put the dmd or backglass on TOP ot the playfield or to the LEFT... you'll have issues with future upgrades in other type of pinballs like visual pinball, future pinball, and if you use pinup player or popper... negative values are ok with pinball fx or even pinball arcade but you'll have problems with the rest.

@cooltoy 3 года назад

Yea, I'm fully aware of that. But since the main focus was for just the main playfield and the dmd scoreboard in FX3 only for this video I wanted to make it super simple for people. I'll show the other method of having the monitors arranged side by side in other videos where I have the back glass monitor installed and am also running VPX and Future Pinball.

@Maizan24 3 года назад

Fancy modding man! Too bad the machine clunked out on ya but looks like something good came out of it.

@ketowolf 3 года назад

Cool modding video! I don’t plan to mod my A1UP pinball but this was still a cool watch! The main reason I don’t plan to mod my A1UP pinball is, when I turn on the machine, I want a streamlined experience. I don’t want a window’s desktop UI, then having to launch Pinball FX with a Bluetooth controller, then exit and properly shutdown the PC through windows again, etc... does this mod or your future mod make it so that you never see a Windows interface or is that inevitable for a PC mod? How long was it before your stock haptics and switches gave out? And also, would A1UP have replaced them? I just got my A1UP about a week ago, and I’m loving it just the way it is, but if the haptics or switches crap out, I’d love to be able to fix them. Sorry for all the questions! Great video, very detailed, good visuals to match, and it’s cool seeing how far people push their mods!

@solomonkim Год назад

Great video! Thanks so much--i used the teachings herein to repurpose my arcade1up pinball into a dedicated Pc-based pinball fx3 cabinet. Quick question: would it be possible to connect the power for the DMD/speakers/backlight into a USB port in the PC, using some sort of barrel-to-USB adapter, so that the entire shootin' match powers up when I power up the PC? Or is there a way to power everything off of the PC power supply?

@videogamevegasYeOldeAccount 3 года назад

CoolToy, Wow! This has to be your best tutorial yet! Amazing and thank you! Thank you also for confirming the stock Arcade1up monitor resolution as 1080p. So cool! I had one quick question if you have a moment. It is a bit worrisome that the Marvel Cabinet started breaking down after such a short period of time. Do you think this is because it's not a retail unit? Or, since you got to really take it apart, and you also own the Star Wars retail cabinet, that the Arcade1up pinballs might just have a short lifespan? I know this is a VERY SMALL case study to look at, but would just be curious to hear your thoughts. $549 to $600 might be a bit pricey for a machine that will only last a month or two. I was seriously considering the Attack From Mars, but now I'm not sure. Thanks as always for the great content and at least we know we have an out if the machine does break down quicker than we'd like. I also own all the Zen tables on Steam (and also Pinball Arcade before it lost all it's licenses, Addams Family Baby!) and it would be nice to play them without having to re-buy them on another platform :) Have a great one! vgv

@danielmid6022 2 года назад

hi. thanks for taking the time to make these mod videos, really enjoying the series. One thing i am unable to find (i may have over looked) is what video card you are using in your PC or are you just using on board graphics from the I5? if so, does it handle all 3 monitors without anything else needed? thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for this. I was thinking about picking up the Attack From Mars machine but reviews made me sceptical. Now with this mod I believe I'll pull the trigger. Being able to have some of my favorite pinball games and not having to build a cabinet is perfect for me, the novice gamer. I have bought the Sharpin Ultra last year when it came out, for some reason I have very noticeable lag and owner seems not to want to help support US buyers. I see the upgraded 32" monitor and 21" back glass monitor so I will add those projects as well. Thank you again. I'll let you know my progress.

Can you give some insight or guidance on PC set-up? As in; how to power-on the PC, when it's neatly tucked away and out of reach, and how to launch FX3 (auto-launch at PC power-on?).

Maybe some sort of wire converter or something between the existing wires and the PC plug?

@jrelyea 6 месяцев назад

I did this mod yesterday. Your video was really helpful, some of the connections are a bit confusing. The DMD works in Windows, but haven't gotten it to work with the tables yet. I got Pinball FX and FX3. FX3 works really well, but I wanted to play Mandalorian, and that is through FX. I got a bundle of 2 games with FX. The flippers work with one, but not Mandalorian. Definitely still have some more work. I'm conflicted on what to do. Do I take this farther and get the better encoder and upgrade my PC? I would love to upgrade the screen, the stock display is not great. There are so many tutorials out there, the more I look at this stuff, the more I want to do. But...with the stock PCB, everything works. I loaded all 30 tables plus the Zen and Pinball Arcade mod. It's easy. I don't think I will go back to stock, but it's tempting. Just depends how much time, money and effort I want to spend. Edit: I got the flippers in Mandalorian to work. I had already setup Joytokey to work with FX3, and the keys are different in FX. I just went in and set the FX keys to match what I had set for Joytokey. Still don't know why the DMD is displaying my second Windows screen but not the game's DMD. I'll figure it out.

@en4crcdn 3 года назад

Awesome. Really appreciate the detailed mod info. Shame about the stock controller board dying so quickly (quality issue or just bad luck?). This looks like a no-brainer upgrade for most people who have a spare PC around to power their steam collection. Cheers!

My Marvel machine was a pre production unit sent to me for review purposes. I have no real way of knowing for sure if it was bad luck or a quality issue, since I do not know what may or may not have changed in the manufacturing process when the retail ready units were made.

@en4crcdn 3 года назад

@@cooltoy No big deal either way. There is an inherent failure rate of all electronics so let's just chalk it up to bad luck. Fortunately, as you proved it's really not that big a deal to upgrade/replace these parts for minimal cost. My guess is that after shipping costs are factored in, that A1up isn't making that much on these units, so it's still a great value overall as a vpin cab that can be modded.

@cooltoy 2 года назад

Yes low profile cards for these SFF models. You can use a 1650 or 1050ti card

Hey Doug, I assume this is unrelated to the mod that lets you play just the 1up Zen tables? Does that still work? If I own the tables via Switch does that count? Or do you have to go through steam. I’m hooked on Vpinball (didn’t think I would since I have a real Bally machine). Thanks for the videos!

@cooltoy 2 года назад

Yes this is unrelated to that new mod. This plays the PC versions of these games through steam which are far superior to the android versions in just about every measurable way.

Cool Toy, I have selected the exact Dell optiplex 9020 small form factor PC you have in the video. For the 3 video outputs, do they all need to be HDMI? Or will display port work just as well? Do I need to get a display port to HDMI converter cable?

@cooltoy 8 месяцев назад

They don’t all need to be HDMI, you can use display port. You only need a display port to hdmi adapter if one of the screens you are using only accepts hdmi input

Great job man! Typical Arcade1up crap though... broken parts within a month - no replacement parts anywhere in sight on the website - user eats the costs and must mod via 3rd party.

Hi I was wondering if I can do this with a Nintendo switch instead of a pc as that’s what I have at home.....if so is it the same process with encoders etc? Would appreciate your time to comment, trying to figure out if I can mod this for my kids!

@UwwBlake 3 года назад

Could you make a video on how to fix the DMD screen ratio? The dead space on the stock screen is bothering me beyond recognition lol.

@cwafflestx 2 года назад

Question for you Cooltoy - I've got FX3 from Steam and have been purchasing the tables as I work to complete my mod. Are you just running FX3 stand alone or did you use something like Pinup Popper and run FX3 through that. All those Popper settings are a bit overwhelming.

@cooltoy 2 года назад

I'm currently using Popper, I would suggest looking into Pinup Popper Baller Installer. It's the easiest set up they offer.

@cwafflestx 2 года назад

@@cooltoy Thanks. That's what I used following Nailbusters install guide. One of the issues I'm working through right now is when I run just FX3 (outside of popper) I'm not seeing anything on the backglass. The DMD works fine. I also have to figure out how to stop the score from displaying in the upper left hand corner of the playfield.

@esmondkim1357 3 года назад

I believe you mentioned on your channel that your Marvel was a preproduction unit sent by A1Up and you bought the Star Wars because of your Star Wars love. Do you think the board and solenoids went kaput on the Marvel unit because it's a free preproduction unit? I have a Star Wars A1Up table that I spent my hard earned dollars on. I love it! But, I'd be raging if the solenoids and board were fried so soon after release. As always, thank you for the vid and for sharing your mods!

@cooltoy 3 года назад

I have no way to know the cause of my issue. I have a Star Wars pinball machine as well and the solenoids and relay are still working just fine on it

@joshrennef619 2 года назад

Is there a reason you didn't use the geeekpi encoder so you could use tbe stock plunger ? Instead of the normal zero encoder ?

Yes, I explain why in the part 2 video

@eonbree8593 Год назад

im almost finished with this mod! i do have one question though. how do i connect my pc to the lcd hdmi controller board? i may have missed the step but i dont think i can find that instruction.

is my computer going to require 2 hdmi ports (or a splitter?

I want to do this mod and 32" monitor mod at same time. Do I need to buy all those parts?

Well, I know that you specifically said that you do not "suggest buying a $600 arcade 1up cabinet for the sole purpose of modding it" so I paied $850 (Canadian) instead. Looking forward to modding!

@cooltoy 2 года назад

@olblueyes7670 3 года назад

I think the fact that these Arcade 1up components are failing already is a bigger story and needs to be addressed. Have you reached out to them for replacements or information?

@justingay9413 3 года назад

When preparing the stock monitor for the VSDISPLY do you simply remove that existing smaller metal box from the back of the monitor. Any more details around this step would be appreciated. I ordered a mix the parts form this step one video and the the step 2 video for the plunger, accelerometer and button controller. Has anyone documented this process further? Thanks for the great videos!

@cooltoy 3 года назад

Yes, I removed the smaller metal box entirely since I am no longer using the stock PCB that that metal box was housing. The only major details you need to focus on is making sure you ground the applicable ground cable and make sure the LCD controller board isn't touching a conductive source of any kind before you power it on.

GREAT Mod! My StarWars Aracd1up Pinball machine just came in and it's good, but the 720p is lacking and would also like to get the Steam Zen FX3 library installed as well. Does it boot directly into Steam FX3 Pinball? Does it have to be connected to the internet after the tables are downloaded? Trying to set this up for our local Rec Center. Thanks!

@cooltoy 3 года назад

Currently I have it booting into a pinball front end UI, but it can easily be configured to load directly into FX3 if you like. No, you can set the settings in steam to run in offline mode if you wish so that you don't always have to be connected to the net.

yes it's possible, I made a separate video on that topic specifically.
