Guide For Those Who Want 100% 4 Way or 100% 8 Way Play.
How to open the X-Arcade:
The X-Arcade™ was made to be user serviceable, just like a real arcade.
It does not void the Lifetime Warranty to open it.
To open the X-Arcade™:
- First, turn the X-Arcade™ over on your lap, or on a surface that allows the joysticks not to have pressure on them.
- PIC: Next, remove the screws on the bottom of
the X-Arcade™ that are recessed in the rubber feet. Your X-Arcade™ may have small rubber covers over the screws in the center of these rubber feet, if so just pop them out.
- PIC: Finally,
remove the bottom panel. This is easiest done with a flat object like
a butter knife (careful not to cut yourself) or some other wide flat object.
Simply pry in between the cracks of the X-Arcade™ base and the panel,
being careful not to scratch that beautiful veneer. Now you have access
to customize, or change joystick modes.
How to change the X-Arcade™ from 8-way to 4-way
mode:
To change the X-Arcade from 8-way to 4-way, first open the X-Arcade™
from the bottom to reveal the bottom side of the joysticks as noted above. You will notice
a tiny silver "C" shaped metal piece (C-Clip)
on the bottom. Be sure there is something
holding the stick in from the other side as removing the C-Clip will release it. Slide that sideways with a flat-head screwdriver to remove
(careful, they like to run away from you!). The
next piece under that is the 4/8-way Selector,
simply remove it and flip it over to change to 4-way mode. (When the fat part of the 4/8-way Selector is touching the microswitches it is in 8-way mode, the thin part touching the microswitches is 4-way mode.) Now replace
the C-Clip, and the bottom panel, and enjoy some Pac-Man™!
