only
eBay store partnered with
/u/berryberrysneaky
, who engineered the the famous "USB mod" for Arcade1Up boards.
Would you like the option to have fast-fire game play on your A1Up Galaga cabinet?
Geek Sales has the solution!
Our Service:
We start by re-flashing your Galaga board to Arcade1Up's latest software (currently v1.0.6). This resolves several issues with the earlier releases, including incorrect colors and lockups in Galaxian. Then our special tweaks are added, fixing a few minor issues and adding a second copy of Galaga and Galaxian, each with rapid-fire shooting enabled.
Features
:
Original
&
Fast-fire versions of Galaga & Galaxian
Fast & Normal versions have separate high-score tables
Faster boot time!
True Free Play in Galaga
(On the stock software, one credit always remains after starting a game; this prevents displaying of the high score table or
demo mode
.)
This service will likely void your Arcade1Up warranty.
Shipping your board to GeekSales:
You are responsible for shipping the board to us for upgrading. A USPS First Class Package (w/ tracking) will cost ~, or a Priority Mail flat-rate envelope ~. We recommend leaving the board in the little metal enclosure, then placing it in
two
layered bubble-padded envelopes. (Many "Dollar" stores carry two-packs of small bubble envelopes for .) A small box is also fine, but may cost a little more to ship. If you have access to UPS/FedEx/DHL at work, that's great too.
Return Shipping:
Return shipping is via USPS First Class Package, with a tracking number. You can optionally upgrade to Priority Mail return shipping.
How long will it take?
Your board will generally be on its way back to you within
3 business days
!
(The listed "10 business days" shipping time is to account for waiting on you to send it in. eBay has no mechanism to account for waiting on a buyer to ship an item. I get dinged for "not shipping on time" if a buyer doesn't send me their board quickly.)
I have an broken A1Up Galaga board. Can you fix it?
Short answer -
maybe
. If your cabinet
boots to the game menu but won't start a game,
or turns on but has a blank screen
and
makes a faint "tick" sound, re-flashing it will likely resolve the issue.
PLEASE E-MAIL US
BEFORE
PURCHASING IF YOUR BOARD IS NOT WORKING
.
What if my board
can't
be repaired/upgraded?
If the board arrives non-working or a previous modification attempt has left it un-repairable, all but the shipping charge will be refunded, and the board will be shipped back to you. (No worries - so far
all
working boards sent in have been upgradable, and many non-working boards have been re-flashed to working condition.)
Is this service for vintage Galaga arcade games too?
No
!
This service is
only
for
Arcade1Up
3/4-scale home-style Galaga cabinets. (See photos.) Is is
not
