When playing additional ROMS, you can only have 1 Player using the joystick and arcade buttons because the emulator treats the 4 joystick + button sets as 1 set.

The easiest way to check if this method will work on your system is to plug in a USB keyboard and hold Windows key + L and verify the Android Calendar app pops up on the screen and you should be good. This approach may work for other newer Arcade1Up machines but has only been tested on this particular machine. Some of the more resource intensive games may not be playable due to these limited hardware specs. Other specifications for this PCB include: model P71, ARMv7 CPU with 4 cores, 1GB Ram, 4GB SSD internal storage, and Wi-Fi. This approach worked on a 2022 Arcade1Up Simpsons arcade machine running Android 10 with a PCB that includes a USB and micro SD slot. Future Arcade1Up software updates could also lock down the system preventing your machine or this method from working. There is also the possibility you could brick your machine if the original Android system files or Arcade1Up settings are altered beyond repair. There’s a chance this softmod approach will void your Arcade1Up machine warranty and may prevent you from getting any future Arcade1Up software updates. This site is for educational purposes only. Check out this demo of the finished setup and quick video overview of the softmod process.
