RetroArch can take a bit of getting used to, but it's worth the effort. I might try with DIG next

Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad the video has helped

Thank you for your feedback

Did u just use this video? Going to attempt tmrw myself

@@Hans_Lex Yup! I followed it step by step and it was super easy. I did get the latest versions of Retroarch (1.19.1) and FigterDroid2P (124) and installed them. I have the roms for the games on my microSD card for now.

@@Hans_Lex Yes I did use this guide. I also used the latest version of Retroarch (1.19.1) and FighterDroid2p (1.2.4). I just followed the guide step by step and it went flawlessly. Warning, some games will have audio issues. I do have the games on my microSD card.

can u put the links somewhere else? maybe here in the comments..... please and once again for puttin this tutorial @@THE-ADM-2

How do u pm me ???

Depends on what core you use sf plays fine on android just keep in mind nothings ever perfect

Yeah SF2 plays fine. I was running the 1st release version which may have had bugs originally? In the background I was simultaneously recording the screen. Obviously you won't be recording your game play so it will likely run even better. I've found a few games that struggle, but from my experience I find most (95%) work perfectly to my eyes. I guess you could always remove any games that don't play well.

Regarding creating your own APKs. Yes it's possible (Arcade1Up manage it lol), though I've not managed it. A few people have unsuccesfully tried to combine APK games.

@@THE-ADM-2 Thank you! Another question, when I go to download Fighterdroid, which version to I download? yoga_retroarch, yoga_retroarch_autostart, yoga_retrox, or yoga_retrox_autostart? I have the yoga flame cabinet.

​​​@@pauldemonte3236the current latest version of FighterDroid2P, Version 1.2.3, RetroArch AutoStart is included with the pack. You only need to download another version if an update comes out, if you want to run RetroX (as opposed to RetroArch) or if you want to manually start the app every time.

Try extracting the files within Windows then transferring the extracted files to your SD card.

You could try using a USB drive

No this only works on Android cabinets (most of them to some degree), the earlier cabinets didn't run on Android

Yeah you have to format the SD card in the cabinet, that's in the first part of the video.

I don't have a MvC2 cab unfortunately. I understand MvC2 currently has some of the most powerful hardware on any Arcade1Up cabinet, but obviously the hardware was never intended to emulate multiple systems and games. I'm sure the original hardware will be able to emulate arcade games and systems up to SNES very well. Dreamcast games will probably struggle. If you want better emulation of Dreamcast and newer systems you'll probably need to modify the hardware, that said playing around with the settings will probably improve the experience. Personally I'm happy with arcade and systems up to SNES as that's my era.

@@THE-ADM-2 I tried running the arcade games I mentioned through a different rom and a MAME core and the performance difference was like night and day so will just choose the relevant core for the games I want to play. Dreamcast I have noticed is running the same as when I ran it via a Fire HD10 tablet a few years back, again I think the performance isnt down to the hardware it the emulator so I am going to try a few different DC emulators out over the next few days as imagine standalone flycast and or Redream will run better than a retroarch core. Interested in knowing which Snes core you would recommend as theres about 10 or 12 different ones I noticed to download.

@@gabrieleiannicelli7716 I've not needed it. I just use the Live button as a select (coin) button for both player 1 and player 2. If you really want a select button for player 2 you could probably physically install the extra button, or set up a simultaneous combination of buttons to act like a player 2 select button. Hope this helps

You might have thumbnails downloading to your limited internal storage. Thumbnails should be set to download to the external MicroSD storage instead. Check your directories. You can change most of the directories over to the MicroSD external storage (but keep cores on the internal storage with RetroArch). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5eXntp1yp_HZ6s.htmlsi=Jf-hlddmyXADAh0w **watch from**18:40**** If you still have issues please let us know

The other stuff is still saved, just to the internal memory. I've found since, that updating the "Cheats" database uses about 0.25GB of space from the 4GB internal memory. So I now direct cheats, to the SD card. I guess you could also just skip that update, if you don't use chests. I did try changing all the directories to the SD card, but it stopped my FBNeo playlist from loading. You can experiment with directories.

​@THE-ADM-2 i mean like the other folders like "support" and "clrmamepro". Do i really need that stuff?

@@mrJalisco70 I doubt it's needed. I left it because it's not bothering me and it takes up virtually no space.

@@THE-ADM-2 nice. Gonna try it out tonight. Hope to get it going and MVC 2 soon

​@@mrJalisco70as far as I'm aware the current best way to run MvC2 on YF is to install the flycast core and use the Dreamcast version of MvC2. Good luck with your mod 😀👍

No

Not sure what you mean. I've never had a problem with RetroArch keeping RetroPad inputs. You have to save the configuration after setting it up. By default the config file should save on "Quit." Make sure you "Quit" RetroArch before turning the machine off.

@@THE-ADM-2 ah that's what it was

Links are now working

Short answer: No Long answer: If you format your microSD card as internal (tablet) storage and force apps to SD storage in settings, then you can install to the SD card. Unfortunately this causes multiple issues like double boot, various errors and poor stability (getting worse as the more you have on the SD card. In my experience the best way is to format the microSD as portable storage and install apps to the internal storage. You can put RetroArch games on the portable microSD even though RetroArch is installed to internal memory. Why do you want all 3 extra APKs and RetroArch? The X-Men Vs Street Fighter only comes with with 2 extra games not already on Capcom Vs Street Fighter and I don't really care for these 2 games anyway. Some people only have RetroArch and the original APK installed. You can actually squeeze the 3 extra APKs and RetroArch onto the internal memory. I haven't done this because storage generally works better and lasts longer, if it isn't too full. This is why I suggest only installing up to 2 extra APKs if installing RetroArch. It doesn't really matter which cabinet APKs you choose to install, but obviously you'll want to choose a different wallpaper.

thank you so much for your in sight my last question is >>>>>>>>> if i already installed all the APK cabs do i just delete the one then install retroarch or do i have to do a factory rest and then do the softmod!!!???@@THE-ADM-2

@@rosendoriojas9366 you can install and delete the cabinet APKs as often as you wish without needing to factory restore. I installed all 3 APKs first then ater deleted one to make more space for RetroArch.

I included Yoga Flame in the pack, for anyone not modding Yoga Flame. In the video, where I install the APKs, you can see a folder, YF APK is in that folder. Happy Modding

@@THE-ADM-2 the version of Nova launcher in the pack doesn't install in the MvC2 cab

I highly recommend you redirect people with the MvC2 cab to this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obyInruVlbHPoWw.html your guide is great well detailed and you link to files but I had problems with button remapper and nova launcher and it got to the point that I had to factory reset my cab but when it comes to installing other CAB apk's and running them it was not working when i was using a older version nova since MvC2 cab can't run 7.

@@gods_hand0136 I don't have MvC2 but I believe it uses an older version of Android (Android 6 as oppose to Android 10) and therefore you need to use Nova Launcher 6. Nova 6 has a bug where it zooms into your wallpaper, so you have to have a border on your wallpaper to make it fit right (or you could just use a single colour wallpaper) I wasn't aware that buttons remapper doesn't work on MvC2, what solution did you use for a home button?

@@THE-ADM-2 I used the older version of button remapper. Old programs for old OS

It doesnt come with one. The slot is empty

Yeah it's recommended that you use a Micro SD card, but you could use any old USB thumb drive to do the mod. If you use a thumb drive you'll need a usb hub so you can attach the Thumb drive and a keyboard at the same time. (Technically you might be able to use a Bluetooth keyboard or connect a keyboard to the micro USB) I've only tested using SD cards as they are cheap and easy to get ahold of.

I don't think so, this mod is for android based cabinets only.

I don't think so. This works with most android cabinets. I don't have a casino cab and don't know much about them.

No

I just bought a microSD card reader from Amazon (for £5.99 delivered). Make sure to get a USB3 reader as it makes transferring files much easier. Before buying this I used to use a phone as a card reader, which also works. Some PCs have built in card readers

This was created for Yoga Flame cabinet, but much of the video can be applied to other Android based arcade 1up cabinets.

Are you using the APKs included in the pack? That error can mean the APKs were cloned incorrectly. You could try a factory reset and start again.

@@THE-ADM-2 i will try!

@@THE-ADM-2 I did the reset but it gives me the same error: "there was a problem parsing the package" what can I do?

@@TheLycanInsideMe are you using the package included APKs? Are you trying to install on a Yoga Flame cabinet?

@@THE-ADM-2 yes i use this package and i try to install in Marvel Vs Capcom 2 cabinet

After Load core, did you go to Download a core, there should be a long list to choose from?

Yes list is not poppin up …… also can I find your arcade pack vol 2 in a zip file not a rar If not it’s ok. Thank you

It takes a long time to upload files to Internet Archive. If you download the .rar file you could always unrar it and then zip it. Try using 7zip to unrar it. As to why the downloadable roms are not popping up in RetroArch, I have no idea. Try uninstalling RetroArch then reinstalling it. You can also try redownloading RetroArch from the link. Remember you need the 32bit version for Android.

Thank you for your help. I noticed that my folder doesn’t have “clrmamepro_nonmerged” folder where can I download that one …. Also should all files be zipped?

I also notice my fbereo folder only has luinex and windows folders no android is that a problem. ??

Yes already brought it to his attention…we are working on it

The links are now working

thank you so much! will this work on the older cabs.. "ARCADE1UP Street Fighter 2 - Classic 3-in-1" there is no wifi adapter on my old cab, as only 3-games released by arcade1up.

@@grc071s no sorry, this mod will only work on Android based cabinets.

No this only works on Android based cabinets. Different android based cabinets may have slightly different steps.

You can play Street Fighter 3rd Strike and RetroArch supports online, but I haven't tried playing that specific game online.

Retroarch works on Simpsons but none of the modded 1up apps in this video work on Simpsons but there are plenty modded 1up apps that work on Simpsons in the droidcade group

Thanks for the clarification@@artcadefourtwenty
