Why Arcooda? Arcooda is Android

May 14, 2021

Arcooda is…….Android

Well before the current excitement, Arcooda was working on a new arcade machines. In 2015 we had built the prototype arcade and pinball machines which we started showing publicly in middle of 2016. These machines used the Highway Controller IO board mentioned previously.

If you visited us during Pinfest Australia in 2016, playing our Android pinball machine in the morning was great. Playing our machine later in the day…no so great. Unfortunately heavy and constant use resulted in the sample motherboards overheating.

We were working on a new custom multiscreen android motherboard which needed significant product development. Frame rate losses, motherboard overheating, and custom firmware all needed to be solved.

During this period, we talked with Zen Studios about releasing a $699usd pinball product but they were not interested in the project. Later, after signing with FarSight Studios, we concentrated on releasing the 3 monitor PC version first, and then to come back to the Android smaller machines.

At IAAPA 2016, we showed our new Android products that included Touch Wizard, and Game Wizard for Android.

In 2018, Arcooda works with Tencent Games on a larger project for both mobile and android gaming products.

Heroes of Soulcraft, PUBG and exclusive Tencent titles were being used in development work.

Backglass support for Arcooda Pinball Arcade tables

May 11, 2017

Backglass animations are now complete for a number of Arcooda Pinball Arcade games.

So far, 12 tables in Arcooda Pinball Arcade’s library of games have received backglass animations – and there is plenty more to come.

Arcooda joined forces with FarSight Studios, the creators of The Pinball Arcade, in December last year to create Arcooda Pinball Arcade – a collection of over 70 games that are unique to Arcooda Video Pinball and other Arcooda arcade machines.

While many of the games in Arcooda Pinball Arcade are already well-known and loved, such as The Addams Family, the software enhancements being made to each is what sets them apart from other digital versions.

Since December, FarSight has been writing new software code to enhance the games in Arcooda Pinball Arcade.

This will allow for power management of coils, lights and various motors – meaning the cabinet will light up and shake at intervals where the game allows for it – new camera angles and 3D support, full touchscreen support and backglass support on all tables.

Games to receive a backglass animation so far include: Cactus Canyon, Ciqus Votaire, Attack From Marks, Doctor Who and Doctor Who Master of Time, Terminator 2 Judgement Day and Teed Off.

Update on the Arcooda Video Pinball machine

May 9, 2017

The dual flipper opto board we have been working on for Arcooda Video Pinball.

There has been plenty of new developments made on the Arcooda Video Pinball machine since the prototype was revealed late last year, which we outline in video one of our all new Checkpoint series.

Keep your eye out for our Checkpoint videos, as this is where we will be revealing more details about the video pinball project and other company happenings.

In Checkpoint video 001, we explained why the Arcooda Video Pinball machine has not yet been released.

We demonstrated the prototype machine at the Australasian Gaming Expo, Pinfest and IAAPA Attractions Expo in 2016 with the hope of an early 2017 release.

However, after much thought, we decided to push this release date back to re-engineer hardware and software components in the machine to deliver a product that looks and feels like a real pinball.

Key component upgrades so far include adding a smart tilt IO board, a custom pinball coil mechanism and a dual flipper opto board.

In December, we announced a partnership with FarSight Studios – creators of The Pinball Arcade – to launch the Arcooda Pinball Arcade.

We asked FarSight Studios to write new software code, which will allow for backglass support on all tables included in Arcooda Pinball Arcade (there is more than 70).

Other areas we have been focusing on is power management for the machine’s coils, lights and motors, new camera angles for the games, 3D support, a new player interface and full touchscreen support.

We are now in the trial phase.

We’ll keep you posted on when the software is ready to play.

New Arcooda video series to keep you up to date

May 4, 2017

From today, Arcooda will start an all new video series which will provide our gaming community and the wider public with up-to-date company news.

The regular checkpoint videos will feature details and updates on Arcooda projects currently under development and, at times, call for your opinions and input about them.

“There is a lot of new development at Arcooda, and often these developments are difficult to explain just through text,” Arcooda CEO Steve Josifovski said.

“We have created this new video series to share with our distributors and customers many of the projects we are working on, machines we are soon to release, and also to ask for your feedback.

“This video series is a good way to contribute and have your say on what features you would like to see added, cabinet colours, or what further collaborations you would like us to have with other leading software and hardware factories.

“We hope you can be part of our community as the machines we are building are not designed for “one off” game style purchases, but more, where the cabinet can be modified over the years for long term use.”

Checkpoint video one will land on the Arcooda YouTube channel Thursday night.

This video will contain updates on the Arcooda Video Pinball, a new game and machine, plus something extra we’ve been working on – an anti-cheating system.

Keep an eye out on our YouTube channel, as well as our Facebook and Twitter pages for these checkpoint videos.

Comparing the Arcooda 8 Player Fish Machine against other fish products

Our Arcooda 8 player fish machine is the premium fish product. It is our top of the range, high quality, fully customisable fish machine providing guaranteed income for operators. The Arcooda 8 player fish machine uses genuine arcade parts and has been specially designed to be have trouble-free operation for many years.

The Arcooda 8 Player Fish Machine is suitable for all redemption games (Ocean King series, King of Treasures series, Mystic Dragon, Insect Doctor, Seafood Paradise series, your own customised game etc.) and configuration options (key in / key out, coin in / hopper out, coin in / ticket out, bill acceptor / thermal printer, PlayPortal cashless card system etc.).

A number of significant improvements have recently been made to the Arcooda 8 player fish machine including reinforced frame and wheels, anti-cheat hardware as well multi-wiring system for plug and play with all game boards, bill acceptors, thermal printers and more.

Please note there are a large number of fish products available as well as a high level of misinformation in the marketplace. We ask our customers to be very careful with offers you are receiving as there are imitation products being misrepresented as “original” and an increase of counterfeit IGS game boards, ICT Thermal Printers and ICT Bill Acceptors. Please note these products are using names and trademarks without license. Further the copy products which are considerably cheaper, are quite low in quality and can cause damage or even fire.

We only sell original product and do not offer copy products. We are very experienced with the fish hunting series, our sister company Highway Games was the first to introduce the IGS fish hunting games to the US market with modified software and modular components. We manufacture our own machines and work closely with hardware and software companies to produce high quality solutions for our customers.
