Arcade1Up Switch mod adapter compatibility

Useful Answer

X-Arcade console adapters are designed to work with X-Arcade electronics. A stock Arcade1Up encoder board is not compatible with the X-Arcade Switch adapter connection or signal requirements.

For an Arcade1Up-to-Switch mod, the usual path is to replace the original Arcade1Up encoder with the X-Arcade DIY Kit, which includes the Tri-Mode PCB. Once the cabinet is using X-Arcade electronics, it can connect through the X-Arcade Switch adapter path.

Use the X-Arcade adapter layout and connection instructions when wiring the final setup:
