As of late into 2020, here are our latest completed and still in work projects (we have been very busy this year).

1)  An adjustable scan line generator is about to become optional upgrade equipment for all of our new multicade machines.

Do you miss the classic look of an original arcade video game machine CRT monitor's scan lines?

Wish granted. You can easily add scan lines to your machine's new LCD monitor with the flip of a switch. Scan lines can be turned on or off, and adjusted for best appearance.

The scan line control pod will be located conveniently at the machine's front access door.

A product specifications page is on the way. Upgrade price: $100.

2)  For all of our Ultra game system powered multicades, we have improved the appearance of the Menu Screen (Graphical User Interface).

The new Menu Screen (GUI) is now even easier to read, faster to find game titles, and all-around better looking.

3) For our USA Top 350, Ultra 2500 2-player upright, Ultra 2500 4-player upright, and Ultra 2500 cocktail machines, we have upgraded the powered subwoofer stereo sound system from one with 50 watts to a newer one with 62 watts of peak output power.

With a more powerful sound system and a base adjustment dial on the volume control pod, this new system is a fantastic upgrade.

This upgrade is also available for all of our other multicade machines. Upgrade price: $50.

The control pod is conveniently located at the machine's front access door.

A product specifications page is on the way.

4)  For all of our Ultra game system powered multicades, we have upgraded the game system's power supply to a 500 (or more) watt ATX with extra quite cooling fan and six built-in surge and overload safety protections. This is a significant safety and performance upgrade.

A product specifications page is on the way.

5)  For our USA Top 350, Ultra 2-player upright, Ultra 4-player upright, and Ultra cocktail machines, we have spent a great deal of time identifying and testing the operation and features of the MP3 Jukebox.

All of the research findings are now presented at the MP3 Jukebox instruction page:

MP3 Jukebox Arcade

Example page of the MP3 Jukebox:

We can include with these four machines, a music memory stick loaded with 392 of the greatest 80's pop music songs. Upgrade price: $100.

 

6)  For all of our new multicade machines, we now offer an upgraded line of optional front access doors - vault and coin-op.

See your choices at this link:

7)  The manufacturer of our Ultra game system hardware has recently made several hardware upgrades, requiring us to update the compatibility of all of our game software (a huge project still underway).

Although software updates are a big time-consuming undertaking, they are also an opportunity for us to review and tweak our entire games library. This is how the new Menu Screen (GUI) work came about (see #2 above).

With one of the hardware upgrades, doubling the number of USB ports, the Ultra game system's need for USB splitter cables has been eliminated. A nice long-term efficiency upgrade.
