Complete Arcade1Up Mod Kit - 2 Player

Important: Power & Setup Info

If you want your factory Arcade1Up on/off switch to work, you MUST select the inlet switch option at checkout. (Requires a latch switch—if you have a momentary switch, you can purchase our direct replacement.)

Selecting the Right HDMI Converter & Speaker Connection

To ensure you get the correct parts, follow these steps:

HDMI Converter:

• Check your monitor number (on the back of the monitor). You’ll need to open the arcade machine to find it.

Speaker Connection:

• Speakers under the marquee? Choose 3.5mm headphone jack.
• Speakers in the control deck? Choose JST connector.
• Partycade users: Check whether you need JST or 3.5mm.

What's Included?

This kit includes everything needed to mod your Arcade1Up:

✅ Raspberry Pi 4B+ 2GB (Upgrade to Pi 5 (4GB) or Mini PC)
✅ Power supply
✅ Pre-loaded Batocera (128GB SD, 27K titles, 200+ light gun shooters plug-and-play)
✅ HDMI to Micro HDMI cable & HDMI converter board
✅ Specialty cable for marquee lighting (For Arcade1Up with pre-lit marquees)
✅ Hand-soldered cables for factory volume & sound amplification (Mini PC replaces this with a soundbar)

Mini PC Setup – Important Notes

Mini PCs offer more power but lower audio output. To fix this, all Mini PC kits include a soundbar for the best audio experience.

🔹 No extra audio cables needed – The soundbar connects via aux & USB for power.
🔹 Volume control is on the soundbar, not the Arcade1Up switch.

Your kit still includes the marquee lighting cable and inlet switch option (if selected).

Optional Add-On: Pre-Wired Inlet Switch for Arcade1Up

Want a seamless power setup? The pre-wired inlet switch lets you use your Arcade1Up’s original on/off switch.

🔌 Plug-and-play – Simple installation, no extra wiring.
⚡ Clean look – Power strip stays inside, only one power cord visible.
🔧 Requires a latching switch – If your Arcade1Up has a momentary switch, you can purchase our direct replacement switch separately.

Each unit is carefully hand-wired—get yours before they sell out!
