Still no news on whether these are hackable?

I found some pics of the motherboard on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Arcade1Up/comm ... therboard/
Video of the hardware
t's probably easier to replace the motherboard with a Pandoras box or raspberry pi. There is hdmi/vga driver board available for the monitor, a raspberry pi would also require USB encoders for the buttons and joystick.

I don't see the correlation of putting large items taking up valuable space in storage out on the floor for sale as creating a shortage .. I see it as workers, not knowing, caring, or managers not having space to stockpile large items endlessly. Likely they were just clueless.

Dunno, maybe the fact that 1Up describe themselves as a "small company" in their own tweets? I wouldn't expect them to be able to crank out a bunch more in time to fulfill orders for items Wal-Mart has already been selling to the public before they send out those said preorders. I'll admit pure speculation on my part, just seeing the evidence and creating the hypothesis that some people will be disappointed if they want one for Christmas.
c'mon get happy!

$1300 is a lot of coin for something that can only be used for fighting and arcade style games. The novelty and nostalgia of playing said games on a arcade cab will wear out quickly (I rarely turn on my vewlix clone, it just collects dust lol). Unless you are looking to buy it for your man cave, save your $$ and buy a nice fight stick and go the emulator method and you'll get the same entertainment...plus a fatter wallet lol.

I'd rather try fitting a Pandoras box into the 1up. It already has the screen. Just wire up the pandora's harness into the buttons. Screen will need some converting.

Buy it from eBay. I bought a 6s model with 1388 games last week. It arrived in 2 days for $144 all in.

Do you have a link to the listing? I’m seeing most of them are now around $200.
