I'm 5'9 and WITH a riser i can sit and play comfortably. Without a riser these are good for 10 year olds and below! I wouldn't buy another one withhout a riser included, you used to be able to get them for $49 at Walmart but all th4e ojnes near me stopped carrying the risers and thye only seem to be available online for $110. Your Walmart riser stock may vary so it could be a decent deal if you can buy the riser cheap.
I recently purchased the AtGames LEgends Ultimate arcade and although it is a bit more expensive than tan Arcadt1up ($559) at Sams Club it was way better quality and it has all 3 common arcade controls ( Joystick, Trackball, and spinner) andit is taller. IF you install CoinOPsX on the Legends Ultimate you have an arcade that can run 1000's of games and you only need $20 USB thumb drive as the only additional hardware over the arcade iotself.
Isn't the description missing these two games? op only lists 10, it's a 12 in 1
Ghosts'n Goblins, and 1944: The Loop Master.
i went through tons trouble, hundreds of $ over like a year modding my old sf2 can and now i kinda just want a stock one such as this again. there are issues with modding SUCH AS:
The software is buggy and hit or miss if some games work. Unpaid people do these Pi Images and dont care if it's not up to par nor is there any recourse. They do it and move on and dont give a blip after that.
You need different joysticks purpose built for certain games. Pac Man for example doesnt feel good at all on my modded, because it wants 4 way gates and I have 8 way I believe (OTOH if you used 4 way gates, then most other games would feel bad, it's a catch 22). No easy way to solve this, and pac man is one of the main games I wanted to play.
You can basically never rig up a shutdown switch on a modded unit, even a volume control kind of a pain. Think of it this way, it's just like a Windows PC. There's no way to just make a windows PC shut off cleanly with one button press, no you must always shut it down from a menu. It's the same way with Pi. Totally ruining any kid friendliness forever. There is a way to rig a shutdown switch, but it literally involves a complex "relay" and programming yourself, and whenever it gets to the programming yourself stage I give up.
As a perfectionist I'm still not happy with my modded unit and never will be. And improving it always involves more $.
If I had it to do over again I'd definitely get something like this with a decent variety of games, put in some sanwa sticks maybe, and call it a day.
I modded mine with Ultimarc 4-8 way switchabled joysticks. They are pretty cool , they switch from the top and don't have a motor and buttons like most switchable gate joysticks and they install just like a regular happ.
Then I bought an AtGames Legends Ultimate and the Arcade1up is now collecting dust in garage! If you want to mod this just get a legends ultimate cab. You still need to get a :home brew" CoinOpx usb drive but these seem to be much higher quality than the Pi images.
That's the way I feel when they put a bunch of versions of the same game on one of these. I'm guessing that it must be done because they pay for the license to "the game", and it comes with the various versions for that monetary payment, so they just 'slap them all on'.
Are there any similar deals for other Arcade1up cabinets currently?

Quality over quantity. I get it though because I wouldn't even touch street fighter 1 or even 2 because I prefer SF 2 Champion Edition and SSF 2. You could look at $199 MK cabinet as it has 3 mk games but lot of those other games are like really old midway fillers with atari like graphics that I have zero interest in. In my opinion, Street Fighter is better than MK too.

Everyone always talks about the risers. The matching risers look tiny, do they even let anyone over 5'6" play these without being hunchback of notre dame?

Yes they do, according to one reviewer on YT I watched he said he was 6'1"/6' and he said it was comfortable for him and only a few inches shorter than his original cab.

The magstick allows you to switch back and forth from 4 way to 8 way.

The bottom part of an arcade cabinet that makes it taller/has more art on it. Just google arcade riser and you'll see.
This looks good, I don't own any cabinets but can you really somehow get a price match for the better one?
