Maximizing Your Arcade1Up Simpsons Cabinet: RetroArch and Dig Frontend Step-by-Step DIY Walkthrough

In today's video, I'm going to Maximize Your Simpsons Arcade1UP Cab by giving you a step-by-step guide and DIY walkthrough in relation to setting up the Android Frontend Dig and the popular Emulator Core handler, RetroArch. This Arcade1up Modification helps you get the most out of your Arcade by helping you have access to more games with Mame and Emulation.
This guide assumes that you've installed and are using the Mystery Dawson 4 Player Control fix for the Simpsons Arcade 1UP Cabinet, and for full disclosure, I also have a supplementary power supply and an externally Powered USB hub that I use to help fix the Low Battery Bug. (Fix is maybe a strong word; this more avoids the issue.)
If you'd like to learn about the Mystery Dawson 4 Player Control fix see below:

If you'd like to see how I fix the Low Battery Bug, and add an externally powered USB hub, then check out the video below:

With so many different videos available, which ones and in what order do you suggest I watch them if I’m interested in adding the MDE patch and the most number of arcade games to my cab? Thank you again!!

Greetings. I am very excited to have gotten this working. I appreciate you making this video. I just have one question. Which hot key do I need to setup to get out of a game I am playing. For example I might be playing Burgertime using retroarch and would like to play a different game how can I exit that game and return to DIG?

@TechicallyTNT 10 ай бұрын

First, Thank you for checking out the channel. That Means the World to me. Second, to answer you question you set that up in retroarch, and you'll need to program that in @ the input section. Third, I found Dig to be very Buggy. You may want to check out this video. In Short, it shows you how to setup retroarch as a frontend. Video Here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtqIophp2NLXaGg.html

Thanks so much for all of the detailed videos. I have it all set up, but I can’t actually start the games in Dig. One of two things happens: 1. Even though I can start the games directly in RetroArch (NES using QuickNES emulator, for instance), when I choose that (or any) emulators in Dig, it says, “QuickNES is not installed- go to Play Store to download?” And when you click yes, it does nothing. 2. A few times I’ve chosen RetroArch 32 Bit and the proper emulator (QuickNES plays best for what I’ve tried), it just crashes RetroArch. Any ideas? The custom Dig system is so awesome- I’d hate to have to manually run each game out of RetroArch

@TechicallyTNT 4 ай бұрын

The hand off from dig to retroarch is the issue. Verify that Dig is pointing to the right retroarch, and make sure you have the core it is asking for in dig downloaded into RetroArch. Its hard to tell without looking at your setup.

@jimfusco 4 ай бұрын

@@TechicallyTNT Thanks for the replay. Been working all night on this. Something that might help diagnose: Dig defaults to “Default Retroarch” on each system. So I have to go to each one and switch it to “Retroarch 32 bit”. And then it looks like the game will load, but then Retroarch crashes - it says Retroarch 32 Bit has stopped working. Happens every time

@@jimfusco I'm Not Sure brother, BUT I hope you get it figured out.

@jimfusco 4 ай бұрын

@@TechicallyTNT I got it to work! And for those running into similar issues, it really came down to making sure RetroArch 32 Bit was selected on both the system and the game, clearing the RetroArch cache (has to be done in the RA app), and making sure your romset matches the emulator you’re using. I ended up going with FBA Neo and now everything works. Only thing left is to figure out how to get all of the cover art and such to show. My Genesis games show up, but arcade games haven’t yet.

I am currently loading up some roms onto the sd card. I seem to be having trouble with the controls and retroarch. I tried a fresh install and using your version, still trying to work out the kinks. I have the yoga flame cabinet, and just installed the 3 other fight cab apks. Those all work great. Even the simpsons one works, except the directional controls are invererted and backwards. Up is right, down is left, etc. Great channel. Do you know if that MDE works for any of the other arcade 1up cabs?

First, Thank you for checking out the Channel. I'm looking for a Yoga Flame, and if I find one at a deal, I'll make a few video's on that. The short answer is you need adb installed first.

So two months later how is it working for you? is Retroarch remembering all the custom controller settings or randomly getting them mixed up? dig keeping the scraped images or randomly losing them?

@TechicallyTNT 11 ай бұрын

When Patched RetroArch works well from my use. You do need make sure you bind the player one controls to player one, and when you start RetroArch, Make sure the first controller you touch is the Red Player One. and it will work each time. If you use ANYTHING, the Blue, Yellow or Green. it F's EVERYTHING UP More videos regarding this soon.... (From Last Comment. Side Note: Thank You for checking out the Channel. Means a Ton to me.
