 What's up? Well, at the time of recording this, it's a few days after Christmas and I got a new arcade cabinet, a mini-arcade cabinet. Now, what happened was, you know, if you've followed my channel, you know that I've made arcade cabinets, I've modded arcade cabinets, I've made mini-arcade cabinets. Well, some friends, their daughter won this in a raffle a couple of years ago at school. And she went off to college and she wasn't using any more and she asked if I wanted it. And I said, yeah, sure, why not? Now, I remember when they got it that they said that there were audio issues and I haven't looked at this thing very much. So this is going to be a very late back video. I'm just checking it out. My son turned on the other day, played a couple of games, but yeah, there was no sound. Also, this is a very interesting cabinet. It's a Miss Pac-Man cabinet and I'm not sure if it's a legit one or if someone just made this. And the reason I say that is it says by midway here, but that's just the standard Miss Pac-Man logo here. But there's no other stickers on it with model numbers, usually they have electrical warnings on them. There's no other sticker that says anything about a brand or model or anything like that. I've also looked online and I cannot find a cabinet that looks like this. I've found one that looks like it says Miss Pac-Man on this side and then the site says Gallica, so it's a two game thing. I thought this was going to be just a Miss Pac-Man game, but when we turn it on, it has 30 or 40 different games on it. And it's a standard logo look like if you go to sometimes restaurants or arcades, we'll have like a tabletop or something like that. And you can flip through multiple games. It's that setup. So it's not like an emulation station or a retro arch or anything like that. But yeah, again, there's no labels on it. Now on the back, there's a hole like it's a big handle. So you pull off the back, which I haven't yet. But looking in that, I can see written on the wooden side, someone's name and a date. So it seems like someone made this and dated it. Because again, I cannot find this exact cabinet online. I've seen, again, the half one. I've seen ones kind of look like this, but it's like half. This is a pretty big cabinet. And I've seen ones that are like half this thickness. Now, I wasn't planning on doing any modding on this system because I already have my full arcade. I thought this would be a great thing when I have people over. Sometimes at arcade days, people come over and play different arcade games. This could be a second unit, someone could sit out and play some old school games. But the audio doesn't work. So when I look into that, turning it on, half of the backlight seems to be out. Because you can see the picture find that it gets definitely darker up in the top left corner here. So that may be an issue. I don't know if there's anything I can do about that. But again, looking in that hole in the back, I haven't opened it up yet. There's the person's name and date written on the inside on the wood just in like a marker or something. But I can kind of see the board and the wire going up to the screen. And when I turn it on, it doesn't do a group process like it's a Linux or anything like that. It just says loading system and it goes through a bunch of different things. But for a moment when you turn it on, the screen has a little overlay. The on-screen display that says that it's checking DVI and VGA inputs. So that makes it sound like it has DVI and VGA inputs. But that doesn't necessarily always mean that there's actually a VGA or a DVI plug. But looking in that hole, it looks like there's a VGA cable coming from the computer down here at the bottom into a VGA cable at the top, which is great. Because if it's just VGA, that means I don't have to buy any driver board if I wanted to hook another computer up to this. So I'm going to open it up now, see how it's hooked up to the screen, see how the controller's hooked up to it. Because I have a whole box. I actually have two boxes of extra arcade parts here, which are extra buttons and stuff. I don't think I have an extra driver board for the controllers, but I can always just do this very minimal button sign here. I can do an ESP and make a hidden device. I really didn't want to do much blotting on this, but I might have to to. I don't know. I don't say I have to, but there's no sound. Let's just move up. Let's open it up and have a look. Okay, again, this is my first time opening it up. And again, there's no labels inside here that say anything about accompanying your model name, which again, I think someone made this. And it's not just store bought. Looking here again, it looks like AD maybe, as initials, 91721. And looking at the board here, it says 61, which makes sense because there were 10 screens and there were six games on each screen. So there's 60 games on here. And yes, it definitely just has a VGA output here, which is awesome. And over here on the other side, we have a power supply, which going from that, there's a wire that goes up and it powers the screen up here, which looks like it's just a regular 3-prong PC cable, which is what also powers the whole device. So that's convenient. And it even has a little board here, just like when I modded my other cabinet. Now here's the speaker, and you know what? There's two wires there, black one's connected, and there's another one just hanging here. That's why there's no sound. This just got unplugged at some point. So I bet if I plug that in, I'll get audio. I'm going to plug this wire back in. It just looks like it clamps back onto the speaker there. Oh yeah, it's definitely loose. I might need to pinch that down with some pliers. So hopefully that fixed the audio issue. The only other issue was this side, the back light seems to be burnt out. I don't know if there's anything I can do about that without replacing the whole screen, which I'm not going to do, because that's like the main part of this. I can replace the computer real easily, because again, it's just a VGA output. It actually looks like it has another audio output if I wanted to hook up separate speakers. The board also looks like it has, well, let's look at the board again. So again, the board has this big ribbon cable on here that goes, you know, the power comes in here, and the controls for the arcade buttons all come in here. So this board is going to tell us how it is. It also has this white plug here, which looks like a standard. I can't see the other end of it, but it looks like, I don't even know what you call them. The power plugs we have for hard drives and computers, so it could be powered separately. It's also really nice that the controllers are just standard controllers, two wires coming off each one, some daisy chained for the ground, but they're all accessible right there as well as the joystick. So this is good. Again, I don't plan on really modding this, but if I wanted to, this would be very easy to mod. There's some dip switches on there. I wonder what that does because there are arcades out there where there might be one or two games. And if you change the dip switch, it changes the games it plays. So I might change that dip switch because right now it's, there's, there's four dip switches and number four is down on the other three are up. So I can change those and see what that changes on the game. Hopefully this, again, I need to clamp this down, but I think I just fixed the audio issue. And I'm going to turn it on and see if I can see the backlight on here. And again, I don't know if there's going to be anything I can do about that. I don't think I can replace just the backlight. And the big thing about a cabinet like this is the actual cabinet and the screen. Everything else is easily replaceable. So if something was to happen to the main board down here, in fact, this already has VGA and DVI. Oh, it even has an HDMI input. So any laptop I have is going to be one of those three things. Is that maybe display port? I can't really tell because it's kind of a weird angle, but I could definitely hook up a laptop to this. I can easily wire those buttons into a controller board that goes to a laptop. So I could, it's good to know that if the board on here, something was to go wrong with that, I can easily replace that. Just pull out the power supply, pull out the board and just drop a laptop in here or a mini computer or whatever. And I can still use this and just have to hook up the controls. So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to plug it in. I'm going to turn it on and see if I can see the backlight here lit up and see if I can see where it's burnt out. Okay, I just got some pliers. I'm going to pinch down this audio connector. Try to clamp it on there a little bit better. Oh yeah, that's better. That was simple. That was easy. Also super nice. Again, this just has a standard three-prong connector here that you use for many desktop PCs. I'm going to turn it on. I turned it around because some of you might want to see the boot process. I don't know how there's going to come out. Try to turn off all the lights in the room to prevent too much reflections on the screen here. Oh, yeah, let's plug in. There we go. So you can see system initializing. And it said about the VGA inputs there and HDMI. So system initialization, 13, 60, 60. So it must be initializing each game, checking each game, each ROM or whatever it is that's checking, it's finalizing. And here we go. And again, this is... Yeah, you can see it in the camera how much brighter it is over here compared to over here. It doesn't make the game unusable, the arcade unusable. And so IK is what this says up front, up top. You know what I did just notice? There's audio now, so I did fix that problem with the speaker. There we go. Two players. And sound. I don't know how to exit a game besides dying and letting it time out. So again, another thing that makes me believe that this is something somebody made and not a store bought is usually one of the buttons will say, or there'll be some sort of directions, press this button to enter game, press this button to exit game, or press two buttons, and there's none of that. Like I said, the only way I know how to exit a game is to die and then at the title screen just wait a little bit, about 10, 15 seconds, and it will exit out of the game if you don't start one. And looking at the back here, this light here is on the board. There's buttons on there. The driver board that I put into my other arcade system, that allows you to do things like rotate the screen just like you would on a TV. It's basically those settings buttons like on a TV or a monitor. Right here, this is obviously the power supply for the backlight and I can see the lights shining in around the corners here, but not over here. I'm assuming that... I'm assuming there's not much I can do. I don't want to pry apart the screen. I don't want to make it worse. Theoretically, I guess I could replace whatever that is, an LED strip or a bulb that is out. But again, I already have a full-size arcade and it's going to just be kind of a complimentary thing that's on the side and that's why I'm not putting too much effort into it. And it's still very playable even with the one side of the screen being a little bit darker. And now I've got audio, which is awesome. But again, the big thing is that the screen being burnt out, everything else I can replace. But the screen itself, it just wouldn't be worth it to replace me since I already have an arcade because the cabinets and the screen are the two big things. Buttons, joysticks, and the computer itself are super simple for me to replace. I've got all that stuff laying around. Again, I have two boxes of arcade parts just from when I build arcades because you order the set of buttons and they send you so many buttons and you really only need, you know, at most six buttons per player and then a player one to player two button and maybe a coin button. But you'll get enough to have like nine buttons per player. So I just have boxes of extra arcade parts. And yeah. So again, this is kind of a laid back video. Just giving you a view at this. Again, 99.9% sure that this is something somebody made. It doesn't mean, earlier I think I said it's not legit, like it's not company made. But this board, I'm assuming that they're licensed games on this 60 in one board. It doesn't seem like it's a pirated thing, although it could be. But I would assume you could probably buy this board if you're going to make an arcade. If you wanted to build your own arcade and do it legit, that's probably what this board is for. And I don't think it's ROMs like on my other arcade that I've modded so that it plays all different games. So if you have any questions, let me know in the comments below. Thank you for watching. Filmsbychrist.com, that's Chris Decade. There's a link in the description. I hope that you enjoyed this video. I cover lots of different topics. And keep on watching, subscribe, check out my channel, my website. And now I'm just rambling. Thank you for watching. Happy New Year. I don't know when I'm going to post this video. New Year's Eve is tomorrow. And I don't think I'm going to get this video done by then. It actually will probably be a couple of weeks. But here we go. Have a great day. One more thing. I did just press the menu button on the little board inside for the screen. And apparently this display is a HP display, which was interesting. So you can see all the settings here. Just thought some people might be interested in that. So if you can read this, this is the information about the screen. Backlight has hours. It says 29,546. So clearly this thing had been somewhere before my friends got it. Unless they just left it on all the time, which I don't think they did. It just ran and ran and ran. There's a lot of hours. No wonder the backlight's burnt out. Okay, getting ready to edit the video I just filmed, which you just watched. And I realized I had some unanswered questions in the video. First of all, these IK boards looked them up on Amazon here. And it looks like you can get them for $50 or $60, whether you want to have the second player controller or not. That's the board, the power supply, the cables, and the buttons and joystick. Obviously, you still need a screen. But these have, again, VGA output. And yeah, so if you wanted to build one of these yourself, you can get all this stuff for $50 or $60. So yes, you can get them on Amazon, but are they legit? So again, I was unsure whether the board was licensed games or not. And I've looked it up. I tried googling it. I googled, are IK games pirated? Okay, according to this fandom website, it does have it listed here. Someone wrote that it has 55 unique pirated games and five duplicates. So according to this website, it's pirated. This is also almost 20 years old, it looks like. So I guess these things have been around for a while. And if they are being pirated, no one's stopped them so far. I also, you know, I looked at some forums. The only thing I can say is I've seen forums where people are discussing, are these, are these not? I don't know. You can get legit games that are licensed. But these, all the games on this 60 and one, they are from different developers. So the fact that they're all licensed together, I don't know. I know I can go to my mall and there's an arcade store that sells arcade cabinets with thousands of games. And I'm pretty sure they're pirated because they'll list them as like 500 games. I'll go through it and it will have the same game listed there multiple times. And I don't think a legit thing would do that. But apparently no one's going and stopping even, you know, these things coming off Amazon or the mall. So, yeah, I don't know at this point. It doesn't seem like they're licensed, but this board has been around for a while. Just, I really don't care, but I'm just listing that as something you may be interested in. I forgot to go back to the dip switch thing. So on my board, I had dip switch one, two and three on and four was off. So here is, I just Googled it, found the user's manual. The one dip switch is flip the screen. So mine is flipped. I guess if I undid that it would be upside down. It just depends on which way you put the screen in. Mine is set to VGA mode and high score saved is enabled. So it should save the high scores even when you turn off the power. Now, number four, system mode, normal and test mode. What does that mean? I didn't read it in here, but I watched a YouTube video with a guy that demonstrated that. If you flip four on and then restart the device, it actually brings you into a settings machine where you can change the settings for each game individually. So you can set like free play, which on my system, you kind of it is free play because there's no, you don't have to put coins in, but you have to hit a button for coins. You can go in there and just set free play. So it's all on. There's a lot of other settings different for each game. So you can go through every single of the 60 games and change individual settings on the screen there. There's also, you can adjust the volume, overall volume for the system and a few other settings. So you flip this, you restart the device, you use your joystick and buttons to manually go through all those settings, then you flip the dip switch off, restart, and those will be the settings for the games after that. Obviously there's a lot more information here on that, but that's the basic concept of the dip switches. So yeah, I do thank you again for watching. Films by Chris.com. That's Chris of the K. As always, I hope that you have a great day and a happy new year whenever you're watching this. I hope your year is going well.
