They are fairly thick and easy to remove once you get a corner up. Soften the glue and peel back these stickers. Screws are hidden under the side artwork, and the top sticker crosses a seam that will need to be separated. The first step is opening the cabinet is to remove some of the artwork stickers from the outside. If you are looking to mod one of these toys, save yourself the trouble and pick one that already has buttons. In order to make use of the unlocked games, which all require some kind of jump or fire input, buttons will be need to be added to the cabinet. The 6″ Pac-Man from My Arcade contains no buttons, since Pac-Man does not require anything other than the directional controls. The Pac-Man I modded was a gift, but had I picked a cabinet to modify it would have been a different model. I probably spent more than that in terms of time devoted to the mod, but that’s largely my own fault.

So, by unlocking them in my Pac-Man cabinet, I saved $125. The others can be found for $20-$30 at different stores. With a bit of modification, you can unlock the other games.įor example, the My Arcade 6″ Pac-Man I was given contained a total of 6 games:Īs far as I can tell, Rolling Thunder isn’t even released as it’s own cabinet yet.

To reduce manufacturing costs, groups of these games share a common circuit board and chip that contains 4-6 games, with only one of the games ‘unlocked’ for a particular toy. Regardless of whether you pick up the 4″ Tiny Arcade or the 6″ My Arcade version of your favorite game, chances are there are more games locked inside. I was given the ‘MyĪrcade’ Pac-Man 6″ cabinet for Xmas, and I deserve credit for waiting a whole three days before breaking it open to look inside. A couple manufacturers offer different sizes, from 4″ tall, to 6″ and 10″ toys. Miniature arcade machines were all the rage this year.
