Hooked my hdmi to a raspberry pie. I hooked up my amazon firestick to test that as well.

Does anyone know of a confirmed working and safe lcd controller board for the gen3 marvel cabinets? I can confirm that while this board does work under certain conditions it IS NOT SAFE for your lcd: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X9NJ2NR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


Here's a thread with more detail on the incompatibility: https://www.reddit.com/r/Arcade1Up/comments/dlcu6c/lcd_controller_board_that_works_for_all_three/

This one has been reported to work with all Arcade1Up monitors HDMI+VGA+DVI+Audio Input LCD Controller Board For HSD190MEN4 M170EN06 17" 19" 1280x1024 4CCFL 30Pins LCD Panel however if it doesn’t work it is a Prime item with free retruns.

I found this one on Amazon and it works. I I modded my marvel cabinet

First off, great job with the conversion, I'm looking to do the same. If you don't mind sharing I've got a couple questions for you.

What speakers did you end up getting? I'm interested in setting up stereo audio as well, but don't know much about the audio side of things. I ordered the Kinter MA170+, did you get the Kinter MA170? They both looked pretty similar, I only went with the MA170+ because it had slightly better reviews.

Which LCD controller board did you get? I ordered this board, but it looks like it might be shipping from China as the delivery window is basically the entire month of November. I'm thinking of cancelling and going with something else to speed up delivery (maybe one of the boards on ebay as they specify where delivery occurs from).

Last question, why the 3M laminate? Was this in reaction to observed wearing on the control panel? Or was this a precautionary measure to make sure the panel stays in good shape over time?

Thanks, and again, great job, I like the coin/player buttons!

I bought this one. Not cheap, but works perfectly.

I used these speakers https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073TY3ZM1 and they plug directly into this LCD controller https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X9NJ2NR for passthru hdmi audio without any external amp

It’s one from the eta prime video. It actually did display correctly once and then went to the orange/red screen and then the black backlit screen.
lcd board

question, would any speaker work with the machine or is there some specific keywords I need to look for? I bought this LCD controller (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X9NJ2NR/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and this amp (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C1Q1FPT/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I would like to add another speaker so I can get some sort of dual speaker, do I also just plug the additional speaker wire running from amp to the LCD board? I don't have my board yet so I can't tell if there's 2 hole for audio. thanks.

I bought both of these and both worked

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X9NJ2NR

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4FL014

With that said, I'd go with the second one as it's Prime eligible and in the states. The first one have to wait for it to come in from China.

Ok, so here's the encoder I'm using with my MK which works: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X9NJ2NR/

I think the issue you may be having is that the MK monitor (at least the one I have -- it may vary even by MK cab depending on what they have lying around!) is M170EN06, but the encoder you got doesn't appear to support that model. I'm not 100% sure that that's the issue, as the one you got supports some very similar model numbers, so I'd almost think it would probably work, but have you triple checked your ground wire?

Yeah I did too and thought by detail and model number it would work...however a Reddit user on here superskaith I believe did his and pointed out his monitor number ended in 06 instead of 11. I looked at the reviews and sure enough users with my board ending in 11 are using the one for it ending in 06. I scrolled down and it said compatible with my number as well, with a lot of mk2 machines done with glowing reviews. So I ordered the one he showed me and did my research and should be the right one coming Thursday. If it doesn't work I'm going with the 29.99 Dell monitor to replace and getting a dvi to hdmi converter. Any money I've lost on this is just shipping. So at least there's that and no big loss on my part. It will work! Lol

New one coming in

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X9NJ2NR/

Here's my list of what I currently own already:

I bought all of the above when I was going to do a RetroPie build. Do you think that would suffice along with the control kit?

Is SI considered a gen3? I just ordered this HDMI+VGA+DVI+Audio Input LCD Controller Board For HSD190MEN4 M170EN06 17" 19" 1280x1024 4CCFL 30Pins LCD Panel https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X9NJ2NR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_X0XYDbNV0WQY8, will it not work for me?

Ahhhhh I thought you meant the wall-wart to board connection. My bad. Yeah looks like you got one not compatible with the Arcade1up monitor. They are not one unit fits all u fortunately.

This is the one that I bought for mine.

LCD Board

You just need an HDMI LCD controller board like this one:

That should be the basic's of getting it up and running, you can always swap out Raspberry Pi case or other items, but that link is for everything all together. let me know if you have any other questions. Happy Modding!

I grabbed mine from an American Amazon seller who ships to Canada.

Wow. That amazon reseller has it on a high markup for that Odroid XU4. I would get that same one purchased from AmeriDroid.com

Here is a link to the stuff I used:

Of course, don’t forget your cables and power adapters.

It's not that hard to do all by yourself if you're a bit handy. Here are some links to get you started:

Joystick and Button Kit. There are many on ebay, look for best price and type you want - be careful if you get buttons separate from encoders as they have different sized wire connectors. Also see the shipping time as many come from China and may take a month or more to get to you:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Zero-Delay-Arcade-Game-DIY-Kits-Black-LED-Button-Joystick-USB-Encoder-AC1473/232958201621

Raspberry Pi 3 B+:

https://www.amazon.com/RS-Components-Raspberry-Pi-Motherboard/dp/B07BFH96M3

You'll also need a raspberry pi power supply (micro usb), and microsd card (both easily found on Amazon).

There are a lot of monitor choices depending on what you're looking for. You can get an old LCD monitor for cheap but should check the viewing angles if you'd like to use it in portrait mode. If you go that route and the monitor is VGA you'll need a VGA to HDMI converter:

https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-CableCreation-Female-Converter-NoteBook/dp/B013G4C17G

The Raspberry Pi supports HDMI so any modern monitor would work without the converter.

Alternatively you can get a raw LCD panel by itself and drive it with a converter board:

https://www.amazon.com/Controller-HSD190MEN4-M170EN06-1280x1024-30Pins/dp/B06X9NJ2NR

though it's probably easiest to get an old or new monitor and take it apart or hide everything except the screen with a custom bezel.

In terms of speakers I like these Logitech Z213 2.1 speakers:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Logitech-Z213-2-1-Speakers-for-PC-and-Mobile-Devices-980-000941/181060190908

They are cheap and have good enough sound for the old games and with the sub-woofer it actually sounds better than the old games did. They are amplified and can just plug into a power strip inside the case so no raw wiring to do. Also they have a wired volume control that you could mount somewhere convenient. Just be sure to buy from someone that will accept returns or that is shipping you new product instead of refurbished as I've gotten a couple bad ones.

I also like this power strip as it has enough outlets and USBs to drive everything including the Raspberry Pi:

https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Charger-100-240V-Computer-Transformers/dp/B01JRXRTC2

For one of my builds I also bought USB extension cables and some USB LED lights to use behind the marquee. Using this approach the wiring for everything will be very straightforward. No special electrical stuff to deal with.

You may also want to add a coin door that you could even make work by connecting the coin mechanism to one of the inputs on the joystick controllers:

https://www.amazon.com/Arcade-Coin-Quarter-Acceptor-X-Arcade/dp/B005EN6SUY

Possible software to run:

https://retropie.org.uk/

http://blog.sheasilverman.com/pimame-raspberry-pi-os-download/

Also, there are other options that remove the need for software configuration and joystick calibration that you might want to look into if you're not very technical. Notably Jamma boards which are more ready to go:

https://retroactivearcade.ca/collections/jamma-game-boards

You'd use that rather than the Raspbery Pi and the joystick encoders but you'd still use the same joysticks and buttons. The wiring is a bit more complicated with a Jamma board than with those handy joystick encoders, but still pretty straightforward.

If you have any questions send them my way. I've done a few rebuilds, a brand new machine from scratch and am in the middle of another one from scratch.

It's very rewarding. I even bought a wide format printer so I could print my own graphics on adhesive vinyl and apply it to the cabinets instead of paint.

Also, poke around the net and you'll find PDF plans for your favorite old game cabinet which you can print out and piece together and use as a template to cut the sides of your cabinet. I don't know about you but I'm very nostalgic about the old cabinets, their unique shapes and the creative art from back then so I prefer having a specific machine than a generic one. But to each their own. :)

Good luck!
