1 Player
Great for Old School
1 Player units are great as they have all the games of any of our mod kits, but tailored for 1 player with the old school layout. Add a MagStick Plug upgrade to easily change from 4 way play to 8 way play so all games feel true.
2 Player
Most Popular
2 Player kits allow you to play fast action battles against another player or by yourself. Add a 2″ trackball or MagStick Plus Joystick.
2 Player XL
Adult Size
The 2 Player XL panel is huge and allow for plenty of room for 2 full grown adults. Also accommodates a large 3″ trackball. Great for any cabinet, but especially Golden Tee cabs.
4 Player
Unlock 4 Players
Play all standard arcade games and great 4 player games such as NFL Blitz, The Simpsons, NBA Jam, TMNT, and tons more.
MagStik plus
Have All Games Play True
Easily change joystick from 8 way to 4 way
8 Way
All Directions
Joystick is free to move in all directions. Most games play 8 way, but they can cause problems with older games designed for 4 way.
4 way
Old School
Joystick will mechanically lock down to only up/down/left/right, no diagonal. Old games such as pacman, digdoug, galaga, donkey kong, and many more used 4 way sticks.
Why do you care?
Compatibility
4 Way joystick setting will not work on 8 way games and therefore not work on a majority of the games on the mod kit.
8 way joystick setting will work on all games, but not properly on 4 way designed games. You have to be very deliberate in your movements.
Example if you push up/right at the same time on street fighter your character will jump right which is expected. Do the same thing on Ms Pacman and the character doesn't know what to do so will just keep going straight and you die. You have to go either up or right, not both at the same time.
Advantage
Standard Joystick
You can change the standard joystick from 8 way to 4 way, but have to remove a plate on the bottom and physically change the orientation of the center.
MagStik Plus
Simply pull up on the joystick and rotate and it will easily switch from 8 way to 4 way and back.
How many?
Just 1
Old games only had 1 set of controls where all players took turns playing those games. The mod kit thinks the game is the real arcade so you will continue to take turns on those games so only need player 1 to be able to switch from 4 way to 8 way. All others 8 way only is great!

Great kit. I watched the video online to figure out how to use this to modify my Asteroids Arcade1Up. You need to be moderately comfortable in dealing with cables, connectors, etc to be successful here, but all the very heavy lifting is already done.

This is a great product. I too added it to an Astroids machine. Very easy steps. The team takes care of all the hard work. Love the product

OMG!!! This is a must! Love this company. Made it super duper easy to install and I’m very pleased with the performance and game selections. For the price I dont think its expensive when you calculate individually….I’ve just noticed my package didn’t come with heatsinks they are definitely needed..that chip can get pretty hot also my pi was a (3b) not (3b+) model but hey I’m overall happy it works fine and I would highly recomend you guys thanks again.

Been reliving my youth with these games. Cannot believe I have access to all these arcades and systems in my home!
i would have wasted time and money if I tried to put this together myself.
Install was super simple with some common sense tweaks.
Support has been great throughout, and very willing to help.
Many thanks!

Received my kit today. Very impressed with the organization of games and I love the custom artwork I chose for the control panel. Arcade modup is good as advertised. They did all of the manual labor and the video was clear and descriptive of what to do. Took me less than 20 min to complete the swap. For a person like my self that’s not too techy I really appreciate everything being ready to go.

Install was easy and also I realized how much time I saved by getting this kit. I also have to say that this is a defining moment in my life. Growing up I would spend hours in the arcades until they closed at 11pm. At school they would call me “machine boy” and if they didn’t know where I was they knew they could find me at the arcades. Seeing TMNT, Rastan or Street fighter for the first time are key moments in my life. And now having them at home means a lot to me.
You made my dream come true. Thank you!

Great kit, highly recommend. Easy to install with video help. Really good quality parts. Took less than an hour to mod my pacman. Just had to mod the config.txt on the SD card so the screen displayed the correct way around – google will help anyone with this and other options however. They even shipped the kit to me in the UK. All the hard work is done for you – so many classic games ! Big thumbs up

Awesome product, shipped and delivered very quickly.
Excellent option if you are not comfortable modding your own cab.
Josh (verified owner) –
Fantastic service and a great product. Easy setup and simple install. I had an issue with the LCD control board, but they helped me out ASAP and I now have a fully modded Marvel Heroes cabinet running some very excellent games. 100% worth the money if you don’t have the time to do all the fiddly modding work yourself.

The product was exceptional. Their customer was responsive. YOU JUST HAVE TO BE PATIENT! Ryan was very professional and courteous. Will definitely buy again in the near future! Thanks #autismawareness
Don’t believe the haters and bashers! These are good people!

Amazing product & service! I live in the UK and was a little apprehensive about ordering due to distance and power consumption compatibility.
I needn’t have worried, delivery was unbelievably fast and fully tracked to my door. The quality and time that has gone into these kits is top notch. Ryan was really helpful and helped me customise the kit and kept me up to date with it’s progress.
The kit itself is fairly straight forward and I really enjoyed putting it all together. I only had to switch out the two power cables for UK ones.
ArcadeModUp have helped me make a childhood dream a reality and I highly recommend them, don’t believe the small amount of haters online.

JUST HIT PURCHASE!! Go. Don’t wait. Seriously!! I bought a Mortal Kombat cabinet “for me” for Christmas and had been researching the mods for months. The ArcadeModUp team sold me with the instructional video. There are a few pieces I mistakenly didn’t order in the full kit because the cabinets have changed during their lifecycle. It was Crystal who has been nothing but stellar in answering all of my questions and shipping out my orders and re-orders usually the same day I spoke with her.
Between the massive selection of games we now have, the smoother joysticks, lighted marquee, better speakers, lighted buttons, and fantastic customer service, there is no reason you should buy from anyone else.

Wow, just wow… These guys and gals are legit. They work directly with you to really make it personalized to you. I wish I could post pictures. Make sure you watch the twenty minute “how to” video before you actually start to work to save yourself some embarrassing (why did I do that) moments. GREAT GREAT GREAT value, quality, and service. A must for any Arcade1Up cabinet owner!

When you think about it, this is a reasonably priced kit, since most of the work is already done. And these guys are fast; kit arrived in one week after I placed my order. All you need to put it together is a Phillips screwdriver and a wire stripper for the speaker wires. Oh yeah, make sure you also have a small powerstrip to plug everything in. I also had to tighten the connections, since some of them got loose during shipping. The YouTube video instructions are easy to follow and will get you started in no time. Highly recommend this kit for those (including myself) who are new to modding.
