Tiny Arcade by Super Impulse 4 position DIP switch modification.

Play all 4 games built inside the circuit board. Unlock the potential for a super cool item.

you could use the 5th switch position to make/break the connection to the speaker, to mute the sound...

No ground is needed on the right row of solder pads. They are ground and are the same as the speaker ground. All grounds run together on the PCB. Just use the one wire for ground across all the legs on the off side and run a wire from each of the 4 legs of the other side of the switch to each letter of the pads. Leg 1 to A, leg 2 to B etc.

Great video, you could also use a small 4 position rotary switch or 4 position toggle switch :)

Thanks for posting this tutorial. I am planning to mod one of mine to play all 4 games.

I came up with a joystick switching mod I never videoed after this. This is the old way.

[wesley_that_dude]

Fairly late to this, but opened mine up wondering if there was a way to mute the audio, just fairly loud

[alphanate]

Thx. Great video. Now I'm definitely going to buy one, and do this mod. Now I just need to decide which cabinet I want.

I just looked inside a Pole Position tiny arcade. It has the same A, B, C, D pairs of pads, but no jumper between any of them. Does anyone think it’s possible that you could make the same mod shown in this video and the result would be that not touching the joystick when powering on would give you Pole Position, AND putting the joystick in different positions when powering on would give you different games? For a total of five games?

So on one side of dip switch negative solder across all tabs and ground the whole side and run one wire to speaker ground? You don’t have to ground to the opposite side of ABCD? Someone sent me a picture ad ran a 4 dip and ran 4 grounds from switch to negative on ABCD, must not have to? Thanks

What happen if you turn "on" two more switches ?

[preferredimage]

A miniature rotary switch might be a better choice. smaller too.

[GrahamToal]

A B C & D are copper pads - I'm afraid I let the soldering iron linger too long and I lifted two of the pads - doesn't look to be repairable :-( Oh well, at least I've got a 2-game machine now, that's 100 better than it was ;-) Any tips for attaching those wires more reliably?

I noticed that pac-man if turned off resets the high score, while for space invaders is memorized, why?

[orlandovalle]

Hello will this hack work on the pole position tiny arcade game?

[flexsealman]

HELP!!! High scores don't save on 3 of my 4 machines! Galaxian saves. Pac Man, Ms.Pac Man, and Space Invaders do not! They WILL however all save until switched off. Anyone else having similar issues? Also, it sucks ASS there isn't a way to disable sleep mode or sound for display purposes. Beyond that my only issue is they need to MAKE MORE! Turtles, Simpsons, Ghosts n Goblins, SF2, etc etc etc... would be FLYING off the shelves!

[MarquisDeSang]

I prefer buying all of them at only 20$ each.

[obtainiumgaming]

Yup a slider switch or rotary if you can find a micro version. No luck for me but have to tried too hard. Mouser or Digikey might have some. I have these switches coming with large toggles.
