The Stock Asteroids boards supports these games:
[Note: Forget to include Asteroids Deluxe which is
on the board]
==============================================
Street fighter 2 : CE
------------------------

The video showings it booting, the roms, the dipswitches,
and mapping input screens.

It works great for me, with a fighting stick attached.

===============================================
tst_galx          Galaxian Test ROM                                           
gghost            Goalie Ghost                                                 
alpha1v           Alpha One (Vision Electronics / Kyle Hodgetts)               
ldrun2            Lode Runner II - The Bungeling Strikes Back                 
kyustrkr          Last Striker / Kyuukyoku no Striker                         
bgaregganv        Battle Garegga - New Version (Austria / Hong Kong) (Sat Mar 2
1996)                                                                         
slipstrm          Slip Stream (950515 Brazil)

demofist          Demolish Fist                                               
finalizr          Finalizer - Super Transformation   

=================================
Video also shows the following games:
1) Alpha one - side scrolling shooter
2) Load Runner 2 - horizontal puzzle action game
3) Battle garegga - vertical scrolling shooter
4) Finalizer - vertical scrolling shooter
5) Goalie Ghost - horizontal sports game
6) Last striker - horizontal sports game
7) Slipstream - Racing game [but runs at about 70% speed]

Demolish Fist is a modern 3d side scrolling game, that does
not run at all. Very graphic intensive.

This makes the 1Up Arcade even more collectable.  All the ROMS are licensed.  So not only do you get a cabinet, but more ROMS than advertised.  Makes that $299 more worth the money.

Not sure if they are or aren't, what I mentioned are the ones that are supported.

The actual ROMS that are extra are:
-----------
1) Asteroids deluxe
2) Major Havoc
3) Gravitar

The rest you have to supply on your own.

Well call them up and ask them to supply them.  It's on their machine with an unlicensed MAME, who knows?  My bet is that they are, and that bet is for the car not the house...

Yeah, Retrogames was my homepage for several years. It was a great resource back in the day and I was quite involved in their forums.

My post above was incomplete.

I think it was EmuNews that is the reason BYOAC exists.

Back in 1997 or so, I stumbled upon a push news service, where you ran a client, and selected topics that interested you, and it would push news feeds to you in those topics.

One I chose was arcades or something similar, and it was pushing news items from EmuNews if memory serves. It basically was just taking whatever the web site posted and pushing it out to your desktop client, kind of like an RSS feed but I think it predated RSS. I once responded to one of the news items asking the EmuNews folks a question about their push service, and they had no idea what I was talking about - they didn't know their web site was being pushed out via this service. Wish I could remember the name of it. Back then it was a mind-blowing new thing, information came to me instead of me having to go find it.

Anyway, there was a story on EmuNews about MAME and Space Invaders or similar. Having grown up an arcade addict I was fascinated of course, found and downloaded MAME and a ROM, and suddenly Space Invaders was on my own computer screen.

My. Mind. Was. Blown.

*That* led me to MAME, which led me to Dave's Videogame Classics, etc.

Yeah, back then with EmuNews, Dave's Classics, Retrogames, Zophar's Domain, etc, there was so much energy in the community with all the developments that were happening in emulation. It was a fascinating time.

In the developing times of most hobbies, you see early adopters who struggle through the challenges. Invariably, someone see's the challenge as an opportunity and creates something to make the challenge easier, or removes it all together. When the challenge has been minimized, or removed, it makes the hobby more accessible. As it becomes more accessible, more people start to partake in the hobby and you start to see fractures and old school\new school trains of thought. The very name of this forum is kind of old fashioned as the "building" part of arcade games becomes less and less.

Take early mame keyboard encoders. It went from hacking keyboards to dedicated keyboard encoders to minimal cost zero delay encoders. If we were still hacking keyboards, that certainly would be a barrier of entry to many folks. I'm thankful I'm not hacking a keyboard.

The Arcade1ups are the closest thing we've seen as a commercial success for retro arcades. Even if they are unsuccessful as a business venture, they will certainly have taken demand out of the market for arcade games. I predict we'll see prices for full size games go down this year and we'll see these Arcade1ups being given away (or priced very low) as people scratch their nostalgic itch.

Personally, I like the enthusiasm, but I certainly see the novelty of my arcade lessen as the idea of an arcade in the house becomes more common.

in other Arcade 1UP hacking news:
=================================
since the sky is blue, as everyone knows.

The MAME compiled on the arcade 1UP was supposed to be a subset of games
that work as licensed.

Turns out that's not the case. Upon further inspection of the MAME, which was
thought to be 0.139, it can in fact run the 4000-8000 other games listed for it.

1) Most classics run at 100% with no frame skipping
2) Many others run with frame-skipping
3) A lot of games run slowly (as expected)
4) More have audio issues

Controls can all be mapped through the USB hack, or possibly a USB encoder.

Bottom line, its STILL NOT WORTH IT to use as MAME machine stock, unless you're too poor
to use a PC, or pi instead.

It's mostly a novelty, that it can run all those games, the menu is slow loading all those games,
and it's very hit and miss what works and what doesn't.

At this point, the only thing left, is working how to map it to internal controls.

I remember a long while back there was a guy that built a small arcade cabinet with a joystick in the middle of it, it was yellow and it was for his kids. He had his plans on his website.  I tried looking back in my archives and the way back machine.  This is a shot in the dark, but was that you Saint?

[saint]

Not me. Not ringing a bell either.

Think he might mean Vigo -- and his Vigolix build ( http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,119533.msg1267233.html#msg1267233 ) - the original wasn't yellow but I seem to remem ber one that was (there are several other builds based on that shape)

EDIT : Found the one I think he was talking about - I believe it was the "Yellow Fever Hybrid" Vigolix build by Locke141 ( http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,140348.0.html )

My tastes run to the exotic.
https://learn.adafruit.com/pinball-controll-ipad/duo-pinball-teardown

I want to 3d print a housing that will add the plunger.  Then use the tinkerboard via lolipop to use vpin via dvi on the led board.

OR just use the pinball controller as is and add a usb port to the 1up CP.

[Howard_Casto]

That duo pinball is pretty neat.  Didn't realize they had such sophisticated controllers for the ipad.  I'm thinking for pinball that VR might be the way to go but I haven't looked into compatibility yet.

It works for you I supose...But the cold hard truth is you can't replace a real silverball with a simulation, much less vertical...And take a look at just how stupid two full grown adults look crowded around that tiny cab, guess they could be having fun, But looks seriously uncomfortable.

You must not get out much. 

It is not ideal playing vpin on a horizontal monitor.  I have the pinball simulator on the PS3, and as it is not the same as a real pinball machine, at least I can get a game of Funhouse, without resorting to shelling out 5K on the original with a ---smurfy--- refurbed play field.

[jennifer]

In "Funhouse" I would naturally assume you were referring to the 1990 version, in which approximately 10,750 machines were produced....  One of them is just calling your name.

[Mr. Peabody]

I love Funhouse. The old horizontal tables give an isometric view, versus top-down and flat from wherever you view on a vpin table. I do not use side buttons for pinball. The metal frame pieces of a pin are rounded. The edge of the t-molding on a CP digs into the palm quickly.
