Thank you Chuck, I truly appreciate that. Sometimes I wonder what people think of these videos and usually don't get any feedback unless they find something wrong with what was said 😀 Comments like yours really make my day, thank you!
Thank you! I updated the ALUM guide this morning ( wagnerstechtalk.com/alum ), looks like the issue with CoinOpsX on the ALUM (up/down) has been fixed when the machine is in vertical mode. I was able to play Pac-Man in vertical mode which was nice. Either machine is a great choice.
Hi Carlos, thank you for watching! I also have the Star Wars A1UP (See first 3 min. here: ua-cam.com/video/7OjsjUIKrQ0/v-deo.html ) but play the ALU much more.
Very welcome, happy to help! There is a new accessory for this machine that was released recently called the BitLCD, just wanted to make you aware of it if it's something you want later on down the road: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-bitlcd
Being able to bring your own games is the best feature. I have thousands of game on my computer. Usually the stock games are decent but they always lack my favorites. Coin Opsx looks great and that's probably the best thing about this arcade. Can you connect external speakers?
The ability to add additional games using CoinOpsX is great. There are a lot of great games on the machine (Centipede, Millipede, Burger Time, etc.) but CoinOpsX really does make the machine even better. Adding other devices over HDMI+OTG really keeps this machine relevant for many years to come. There isn't a headset jack but it does support Bluetooth.
Welcome Charles! Let me know if there is anything I can help you find. I have guides for the Legends Ultimate&Pinball at wagnerstechtalk.com , if you need them.
Best home arcade machine on the market imo. Coinopsx and it's build quality make that true. Then add awesome extras like the Bitpixel and upcoming 4 player control deck and it really is just head and shoulders above the rest. Maybe in a few years they make a really beefy unit that supports more mid late 90s 3d arcade games. Be great to see Sega Naomi software running on it.
I agree, build quality is great and with CoinOpsX it plays most of the games I would want to play from a USB drive. For anything else, there is always HDMI Input+OTG.
Not powerful enough to run Naomi unfortunately…. I think the build quality is crap 💩 boards are paper thin cheaply made… their is a reason Atgames got a F with the Better Business Bureau and it show’s in spades
If you haven't seen the guide, wanted to let you know it's here (lots more info): wagnerstechtalk.com/alu , also I recommend getting one from Sam's Club if you have one nearby. Any issues, it's a simple exchange. Hope that helps!
I'm sure there will be some who have no interest in pinball in landscape (why force people to pay for it). But, you'll be seeing something on the channel soon which does include the buttons and in a form factor which makes more sense for them to be included ;)
I want to put a coin door on the front panel of the arcade game where the names of some of the games are. Can you tell what the thickness size of the panel is so i know what screws and washers to buy? Is it 1/2 inch thick or 1/4 inch thick?
The panels on the front/back are very thin, not sure exactly what the dimensions are. May want to ask here: www.reddit.com/r/LegendsUltimate . You'll likely hear from others that have done it and can give you some better tips than I.
Very welcome, thank you! If your stick is drifting, it's likely hardware-related. You can reach out to AtGames here: www.atgames.net/arcades/contact , click the purple icon in the lower-right and you can chat with their CS team in real-time and should be able to get you fixed up.
Excellent review. I Recently picked this machine up and I am loving every Pico second of it. I've downloaded a coinopsx build, the games run fine however, the coinops wheels GUI doesn't show up, only the box art. What I am doing wrong? Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jeff, I ran into the same issue with cox. When you unzip the archive, make sure that all the folders are at the root level on your microSD card (double click in each, make sure there is not another folder by the same name). Then, re-run AddonX Tool and it should be all fixed up.
Hello! i just bought one of the Legends Unlimited arcade machine and i was wondering if you sold the USB's that are preloaded with like packman and Mario? I'm not tech savvy by any means. i really want to do this so the wife will join me and play along side, thanks!!
Congrats, I don't sell the USB sticks no. I have some information on my website that steps you through how to setup your own (PDubs and I partnered to create this guide): wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx . If you absolutely don't want to attempt it yourself (it's not hard), there are places on etsy and even Amazon (example: amzn.to/40TRi9w ) that sell pre-made USB sticks. However, I've never used them and can't attest to anything that you might get as a result.
Thank you Johnny. I applied the licenses to my ArcadeNet account, they will work off-line (I think) up to 5 times (load/exit 5 times) before requiring me to re-connect.
Still working great today. Never had the ctr board go out. I've heard of it happening, though don't think it's as common of an issue as some say. I keep the the machine current with the latest firmware and no issues.
Had mine for a year or so. Turned it on and the screen lights up tries to update to version5.65 then nothing. No joy sticks work no buttons no spinners or roller ball. I see two blinking blue lights next to the power button. The arcade reads that a stick is in it or not but nothing else. Is there a connection somewhere or fuse between the power button and the console controls? What do the blinking blue lights mean. Any help would be really great.
Hi Capper, this isn't an issue I've run into personally. For the fastest assistance reach out to AtGames here: www.atgames.net/arcades/contact to create a support ticket. From what I understand, response times are within half a day currently so as soon as you fill out their form, you should hear something back by this time tomorrow. Let me know how your experience is with support, if you don't mind. From what I understand they've invested a lot in improving customer service and would be great to hear your feedback.
Was told to Manual reboot . Down load to a stick the press a bunch of buttons all at once.... The buttons don't work so nothing changed. Then told bought in Canada at the Brick so need to deal with them. Feeling kind of lonely here with this boat anchor.
wagner, I bought an inline power switch with a toggle switch for the led lights on my atgames ultimat legends arcade machine. I have been look everywhere online but no luck as to how to mount it and where to mount it on the machine. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Scott, I don't personally have one on mine. Perhaps at the back top panel might be a good place with some strong sticky tape? I picked up some years ago (3M) that is very strong and should adhere well to the top back panel of the machine. But again, I've not done this nor seen anyone show a video on how they did it either.
I can't be 100% sure this is it (I don't have the packaging anymore), but this "looks" like what I used: amzn.to/48Tu4nu . Where to mount it would be totally up to you. But, if you use this stuff, it's going to rip the paint off if you remove it. That's why I think the back would be ideal, totally up to you.
Have dreamt of an arcade with TMNT Turtles in Time (Arcade / Snes), but seeing this.. Wow! I wouldn't play Pinball on it, since the screen isnt what I was hoping for, but all other games. Is there any cheaper Arcade that would allow me to add arcade games manually ?
There are a number of options out there, but if you're looking for one that is cheaper and looks like what you saw in this video see this: www.atgames.net/arcades/legends-gamer-series/ and at WalMart www.walmart.com/ip/AtGames-Legends-Gamer-Pro/745469466 . I don't own either of the Gamer devices, but looks like what you're asking for. Note: it doesn't have x2 spinners.
Thank you for the great review, I think I might get one. Hey!!! where did you get your rug in this review.....Im looking for a good rug for my arcade room.
Thank you Kevin! I couldn't remember, did some searching through my old e-mails and found it here: www.wayfair.com/rugs/pdp/joy-carpets-fluorescent-abstract-tufted-fluorescent-area-rug-w001858463.html?piid=336190742 . It wasn't cheap, there are other designs there you may prefer. But, I'm pretty happy with it.
If you wind up getting an ALU, do check out the guide here: wagnerstechtalk.com/alu, lots of info. to help you get started. Also, check out the BitLCD on that page too. It's new and crazy cool: wagnerstechtalk.com/alu/#Legends_BitLCD
Great video, its a shame they used lcd screen and not crt, retro games would look far more to there 80s arcade orginal look on crt. I just got the most recent Release od Coinops Legacy 3 MAX 63GB on usb drive, would that work on this arcade cabinet?
Thank you and no, only CoinOpsX would work. Though, you can add many console games as well. You can check out the guide here: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx/ on that page there is also a link to the Fans of SaUCE subreddit. There you can find out much more about it or the guide can help setup a USB stick. AFAIK - Noone is making CRT's for Arcade machines anymore.
I wish there was, I have an original Defender from '81 that could sure use a new CRT. There are services where you can ship yours off and they replace it with a refurbished one but that's about it as far as I know. I've already re-capped mine once, only lasted about a year before it blew another cap. They are a pita to maintain.
Hi Bryan, thank you! The unit I received does have the artwork already affixed to the panels (no rollout decals). I'll try to find out if the rollout decals are still a thing and I'll reply back here or on the news page: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-news/
Did some checking, only Sam's Club has the rollout decal, if that's what you're looking for. All other stores have the artwork affixed to the panels. Hope that answers your question.
@@WagnersTechTalk my ALU arrives this Friday and I’ll confirm this weekend. And yes, I ordered from Sam’s club and prefer no decals on the side so I’ll most likely leave mines black on the sides. Thanks for following up! I really appreciate it :)
From a builder's perspective: This machine is both brilliant and stupid (i beleive the stupid part was intentional). Brilliant because i've never seen so many controls on a single machine that wasn't a DIY home construct. Stupid because the video and USB hookups were put no more than an INCH away from the game controls where they could get easily damaged (from an excited gamer) and have to be replaced. Again, i believe this to be intentional (keeps AtGames in the loop and you needing to pay them) Brilliant because the game has access to CoinOps and there are, literally, MILLIONS of games that can be added. Stupid because the ports were not constructed with faster ports and, again, put on the back or in some recess (there's a TON of space) where they could be kept out of harm's way. Brilliant because the machine can be constantly expanded. Stupid (intentionally) because too much of the machine requires internet access when you bought it, and it's yours, at that point internet "license" checking should not be needed, it belongs INSIDE the machine. This part WAS intentional, they want to maintan some control. I could go on and EVERYTHING i've said was factual and can be checked but i've already spoken to someone at AtGames. They agreed with me, on many of these issues, over the PHONE but will never announce, publically, their feelings because it's too dangerous. I bought this machine and the pinball machine at the same time. They didn't arrive at the same time and AtGames support just is terrible. "Some" of them are smug/arrogant and treat you like an idiot when you point obvious things out (again, over the phone i was agreed with but you'll never see it in print) that are wrong and they missed it or their system screws up. I even ordered a back-board expansion, for the Pinball, that was bad and the "replacement" cable they sent me didn't even interface with my expansion device. At that point, i stopped because i wasted almost a MONTH going back and forth with them to get to that dead end. The base games are okay for people who want the memories of the arcade, but the CoinOPs expansion is REALLY what makes it shine.
I do agree, it would have made more sense to place the USB and HDMI ports on the side (or back) of the unit. They are in an awkward location. I also agree that the licensing checking could be optimized a bit more effectively. But all-in-all, it's a great machine IMO. Hopefully they'll improve those few weaker areas in time. I agree once again, CoinOpsX/OTG/HDMI really makes this a GREAT machine! Anyone not familiar with CoinOpsX can check out the guide here that will assist with the setup: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx
@@WagnersTechTalk The CoinOpsX 5.0 "saucey" is the edition i would go for, avoid the older ones. But i would keep an eye open for a possible 6.0 in the future. CoinOps is HUGE and 10x bigger than what you see in 5.0 and growing daily.
Hello hello! I saw on your website that you have a breakdown of the components of this unit. I was specifically interested in the trackball....the one thing that your disassembly didn't say, was the size of the actual trackball itself. Do you by any chance know it's diameter or size? I'm looking to replace mine but not sure what size it is and it's proving to be quite a mystery!! Thank you!
I wasn't the author of that page (just minor edits, primarily). The content that was provided was from dudemo on reddit, you can find him here: www.reddit.com/user/dudemo . If you find out the dimensions from him, let me know and I'll add that to the guide. Thanks for watching!
I personally use this wagnerstechtalk.com/alp4k-pcsetup/#The_Basics (last item on the list). I have an ALU, ALP 4KP and PC (for OTG) connected to the battery backup ports and surge protector. This may/may not be what you're looking for. I've used it for about 3 years and has been working well.
That's all I've got, it is grounded and only one I'm using. You can check out some at your local hardware store, Amazon, etc. that fits what you're looking for.
With the newest atgames legends ultimate can is there a work around to play coinopsx without internet if not what method would you recommend to load new games on there if I don't have internet or wifi hotspot? I understand the newer versions don't let you do some things the older did
If you don't have internet, you can use the AddOn (under BYOG) to play games. You'll have to browse for the game, but from what I understand internet isn't needed if you launch the games using AddOn. My machine is always connected to the internet, so I haven't personally verified that.
Hey Jon, 2 questions...The arcade cabinet you built (if I remember correctly it plays thousands of games). How often do you play it? And second question, since you have so many different machines to play retro games which do you find that you play the most? I don't own a cabinet since living in Korea I'm in an apartment. I find I don't play on my PC through BigBox, I don't play on my raspberry pi as much as I do play on my Odroid Go Advance. I guess its easier since I don't have to change the input on my monitor and plug in a controller and the long long wait for retropie to boot. Just curious about you since you have so many more options.
Great questions, I have 4 arcade machines (not including an ALP) in the house currently (and 1 in the shed, a jama 68-in-1 that needs work). Of the 4 in the house, is this machine and x1 original 1981 Defender cabinet (needs a monitor re-cap/CRT), x1 Data East cab that I found gutted and added a Pi 3 to it and a DK Mini Cab (custom built with a Pi 3b+). Both of the Pi 3-based cabinets have been having issues over the past 6 months. Haven't pulled them apart to see why, but both machines are running RetroPie and lock-up if a game is left on. It could be the cheap encoders (same used in both) or could be the images have gotten corrupted. At one point, I was playing the Data East cab consistently for about 2 years. My plan is to revisit both, diagnose the problem, upgrade to a Pi4 on each and rebuild the control panel on the DE cab with a GRS Trackball/spinner. I just haven't gotten around to working on them. When I eventually get to upgrading them, I'll likely install Recalbox or Batocera and create a new image from scratch. As it stands currently, the only one that gets played is the ALU. Of course, I also play my OGS, RG-351m and V90 lately as well as a new handheld I haven't released a video on yet. Hope this answers your question :)
@@WagnersTechTalk Wow you do have some goodies lol Thanks for the reply. Its fun to hear what people have and what they are doing with them. hopefully its just a image issue with the Pi 3b+s...I dont like SD cards as they aren't so reliable. I had one issue with my Samsung EVO Plus...One day friends came over and it decided not to work at all. I had to reimage it and all was well. So far, same brand card in my OGA has had no problems. Hopefully with the Pi4 youll have less issues. The more I see of the ALU, the more I like it. It really does have a lot of good features. And the trackball and spinner are awesome to have. I would love to have that. Kaboom! for atari 2600 really needs a paddle/spinner and Arkanoid is another I really want a spinner for. I keep thinking of more and more sinner games lol I hope you get that Defender crt recapped. I love 80s cabinets but...so many issues arise with them. Which is why I prefer emulating, but I would love to have an emulating device hooked up to a crt. One day!
Hello. I have a problem with coinopsx working on my Alu. It was working before but now when I select a game I can start it with the A button. I can add coins but that's it. Do you have a video on fixing that?
Not something I've encountered. If it was working, now it's not, likely corruption or failing thumb drive. This guide explains how to setup CoinOpsX: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx
Is the screen tall enough for gameplay to be enjoyable? It seems all the games would be frantic if the screen is so small that asteroids and millipedes reach the bottom too fast.
Hey , I bought this machine and game options are moving to it’s left by itself. They asked me to reset it. It’s still doing the same. By chance do you know how to fix it?? Thank you
Sounds like an issue with either the CTR board or the control panel. You might try re-seating the connections at the back of the control panel. Perhaps the grey cable isn't fully seated. Other than that, it's likely going to be a hardware issue. I assume you're already talking to AtGames about the issue. You have a 90 day warranty with the machine, I'm sure they'll get you fixed up quickly. If not, let me know.
@@WagnersTechTalk thank you for your reply. They asked me to go to settings and to check for errors because it works fine for first 10 to 15 seconds then it acts weirdly moving options to its left. Let’s see.. thanks again for the reply
wagner. Question. How many usb ports does the the new 1.2 machine have? I need one for the flashdrive and one for lights on the coin door i bought from retro530. am i good or do i have an issue?
so which port does the flash drive go into and which one does the lights for the coin door go into? And how do you tell which one is the 2.0 port and which is the 3.0 USB port?
I've not installed a coin door, but I'd likely use the USB 2.0 port. You can tell because one is blue (3.0) and the other is white (2.0). Flashdrive in the blue port, it's faster than the 2.0 port.
Hi Jon - new subscriber to your channel. Thank you for this video. Just wondered if it's still worth it to buy this version of the ALU since there will be a 4K version coming out? From what I understand, the new version will not have the Atari games on it. I will be buying it at The Brick in Canada and want to make sure I get the latest version, which I believe to be the 1.2 version. Any other pertinent information would be much appreciated. I am finally getting to retirement age and want to start my own mini-arcade in my home. Many thanks and I'm also looking forward to your ALP 4KP review too!
Hi Terry, thank you for your kind support! It's hard to answer your question, I still love/play my ALU 1.1 a lot. However, knowing that a 4K version is coming this year makes it perplexing. I don't know pricing, so can't draw a direct comparison. I also don't know exactly when they will ship. I do know the UI is going to look a lot nicer, it's going to be faster/more powerful. If the type of games you want to play are mostly 80's to early 90's, chances are the current generation of ALU will be just fine. But, if you're the type that wants the latest and greatest, holding out another 3-4 months may make more sense. I have no plans to get rid of my ALU 1.1 when the new one comes out. It's really your personal preference/call, but just some of my thoughts.
@@WagnersTechTalk Thanks Jon. Yes, I would like to have the 80's games, so I will get the ALU 1.1 while it's still available. I worked in the Arcade industry from 1980 to 1990 so those are my favourites. Thanks again!
@terryb.1938 That's awesome that you worked in the Arcade industry! I grew up in the Arcades in the 80's, it was a magical time - I miss it. While I do play some of the the modern games, it's usually not for long. I still love the classics like Time Pilot, Galaga, etc. Those are the games that I can play for hours. Modern games often add too much "fluff" to a point where it takes forever to get into a game and start playing. If I want to watch a movie, I'll use Prime/NetFlix. If I want to play a game, I want to be able to get in/out quickly, not watch a 5-10 min. intro. that won't let me skip it.
In this video, I installed the BitPixel to a USB hub inside the machine: wagnerstechtalk.com/alu/#Legends_BitPixel Instead of the BitPixel, you could add a USB stick to the hub which should be what you're wanting.
I am tempted to sell a couple of my Arcade1ups and get this but I am not sure how to download games to a thumb drive - pretty clueless on this kind of stuff. Is there a pre loaded thumb drive I am able to buy?
You can play the included 300 games and run games from the BYOG AddOn menu without internet access. If you want to be able to download firmware updates, pinball volumes, upload high scores to the leaderboard, stream games, etc. an internet connection would be needed. Also, if you plan to use CoinOpsX, internet access will need to be available (doesn't stream, but it checks the internet every 5 launches of the application). Hope this answers your question!
@@WagnersTechTalk OK, great! Thanks! I am looking at getting this for our fam for Christmas. What about Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Q-bert? The really popular games. Do you just download those to a flash drive and play them when you like?
Yes, using the link above you can download and install them to the USB thumbdrive. Be sure to check out that procedure/disclaimer and the video. so you'll see what's involved. Then, you go into CoinOpsX, load up the game and play. You can pick up the cabinet locally at Sam's Club, typically (unless they are sold out).
Ok, I'm all setup!! So many games that my head is spinning. Haha! How do you save games and also how do you save high scores when playing games in Coinops? Is it possible? I can't find the "how to" anywhere. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I don't have the system you're referring to, but the Legends Ultimate has HDMI in and OTG (USB) connectivity. It works with most every other system out there (PC, Raspberry Pi, etc.). However, you may want to consider this also: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-aimtrak . In addition, I am planning more light gun content and will be using the ALU in that content.
@@WagnersTechTalk I've already ordered the retro shooter pandora box. If it arrives and dose everything the 3 UA-cam reviews I watched. Itll be a great system. And if it can connect to this arcade machine. Where I can use the control panel to play games itll be top tier.
Nice review, looks versatile which is interesting, but only shipping in US, so is there anything else similar, maybe even better worldwide that you know of?
Checked with them, it appear today they currently ship to the USA and Canada (the Brick). There is a company in France called "Just for Games" who is a distributor, if that's an option.
In the US they are $500 USD (Sam's Club), that's $2-300 cheaper than all the new cabinets from the competition. However, not sure how that translates for overseas unit shipments.
Watch out! apparently you're not supposed to do updates? I've had mine just over 2 years and now I'm replacing the CTR board at my cost, because my controls freeze every time, due to the updates. Why aren't any of the reviewer's talking about this? Typing this search brings up a lot of discussions.
You will see a mix of opinions on this, at the time of this review it was rarely mentioned. I've had this machine for nearly a year now, I always update and I've not had any issues (aside from CoinOpsX not saving high scores). I don't discount the CTR board has been an issue for some, just hasn't been an issue that I've personally experienced. If I had, I would have mentioned it. Along those lines, AtGames has improved their customer service since this video. They now offer a 90-day (instead of 30 day) warranty and have live chat support. I think the main reason this happens is because so many people say not to update and when jumping from version to version miss out on incremental updates that cause these issues. I could be wrong on this though.
@@WagnersTechTalk I've done every update that's come out. Never had issues until (5.65) now. What seems to be coming up is MCU version: NG, BT version : NG . You guys would probably help the community immensely by looking into this?
Hi Chuck, let's try a few things. First, power off the ALU leave it off. Turn unplug your router, leave it off for 20 sec. and plug it back in. Wait until it comes back up, then turn on your ALU. See if that resolved the issue. Also, is the ALU new or have you had it for awhile?
Tough call, dunno how big your bedroom is or what you have in it. I'd say if you have vertical space of 5.5ft and horizontal space of about 4 feet probably.
I prefer the ALU myself, with spinners and trackball, larger screen, etc. Measured the alu for you: Width 2ft 6in., height 5 ft. 6in., depth 1ft 10in. Also note, there will be a newer (faster) model coming out later this year that has a 4K display. I may be showing it on the channel in a month or so.
I've had my unit over a year, no issues. Curious, what's it not doing? If it's the Blue LEDs blinking and the controls do nothing, press and hold the P2 button for about 7 seconds until the LEDs turn off. Then, the panel will work. That's my guess as to your problem, there was a bug in the latest firmware (I think) that caused this.
Thanks for this review. Instandly fall in love with this nice machine 😻
You and me both!
you I'd Sales part of your business 80000, but I would like to get some ideas about which photos are available for you
I've been considering this for purchase- your review is by far the best I've seen! Thanks!
Thank you Chuck, I truly appreciate that. Sometimes I wonder what people think of these videos and usually don't get any feedback unless they find something wrong with what was said 😀 Comments like yours really make my day, thank you!
The buttons on the side for pinball games is a real nice touch.
While I do prefer the ALP for playing pinball games, the side buttons for the ALU do make it a much nicer experience indeed.
Cool setup. I have played this and would buy it myself. Brings back memories of playing them when I was a teenager
Thank you bro! It is fun, the next time you come over I have an upgrade to show you that is pretty slick too.
I've been trying to decide between the ALU and the ALU Mini and your reviews have been super helpful! Very thorough and informative 👍🏽
Thank you! I updated the ALUM guide this morning ( wagnerstechtalk.com/alum ), looks like the issue with CoinOpsX on the ALUM (up/down) has been fixed when the machine is in vertical mode. I was able to play Pac-Man in vertical mode which was nice. Either machine is a great choice.
I’ve been converted from A1UP to AGL. Thank you.
Hi Carlos, thank you for watching! I also have the Star Wars A1UP (See first 3 min. here: ua-cam.com/video/7OjsjUIKrQ0/v-deo.html ) but play the ALU much more.
Originally I was going to buy the arcade 1up Street fighter cabinet. But this review has since made me think! Thanks
Very welcome, happy to help! There is a new accessory for this machine that was released recently called the BitLCD, just wanted to make you aware of it if it's something you want later on down the road: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-bitlcd
Sams Club has the ALU, ALU Mini and the Pinball for 349,199 and 399 respectively. I was waiting on a drop like this. I got the ALU and Mini.
Excellent review! God bless you and yours praying for you
Thank you! You too!
Being able to bring your own games is the best feature. I have thousands of game on my computer. Usually the stock games are decent but they always lack my favorites. Coin Opsx looks great and that's probably the best thing about this arcade. Can you connect external speakers?
The ability to add additional games using CoinOpsX is great. There are a lot of great games on the machine (Centipede, Millipede, Burger Time, etc.) but CoinOpsX really does make the machine even better. Adding other devices over HDMI+OTG really keeps this machine relevant for many years to come. There isn't a headset jack but it does support Bluetooth.
Here from Reddit. Looking awesome I really need to buckle down and get into this.
Welcome Charles! Let me know if there is anything I can help you find. I have guides for the Legends Ultimate&Pinball at wagnerstechtalk.com , if you need them.
Best home arcade machine on the market imo. Coinopsx and it's build quality make that true. Then add awesome extras like the Bitpixel and upcoming 4 player control deck and it really is just head and shoulders above the rest. Maybe in a few years they make a really beefy unit that supports more mid late 90s 3d arcade games. Be great to see Sega Naomi software running on it.
I agree, build quality is great and with CoinOpsX it plays most of the games I would want to play from a USB drive. For anything else, there is always HDMI Input+OTG.
Not powerful enough to run Naomi unfortunately…. I think the build quality is crap 💩 boards are paper thin cheaply made… their is a reason Atgames got a F with the Better Business Bureau and it show’s in spades
I make a pretty high end wall mounted build at Umbrella Arcades. 8TB Bigbox. It’s not cheap, but you won’t ever feel like you’re missing anything.
i would like to see more arcade game and sega game
Thanks for this video man. I gotta get me one of these.
Any time, thanks for watching and Happy Holidays!
If you haven't seen the guide, wanted to let you know it's here (lots more info): wagnerstechtalk.com/alu , also I recommend getting one from Sam's Club if you have one nearby. Any issues, it's a simple exchange. Hope that helps!
@@WagnersTechTalk It helps a lot. Thank you so much.
Wow what a genius business move not including those cheap pinball buttons
I'm sure there will be some who have no interest in pinball in landscape (why force people to pay for it). But, you'll be seeing something on the channel soon which does include the buttons and in a form factor which makes more sense for them to be included ;)
Pity they never thought to fit Happ Rotary sticks, for Ikari Warriors / Midnight Resistance etc
Just bought one used. It's great so far, but can't get the games that are pre loaded on a USB to work. USB came pre loaded with thousands of games

I want to put a coin door on the front panel of the arcade game where the names of some of the games are. Can you tell what the thickness size of the panel is so i know what screws and washers to buy? Is it 1/2 inch thick or 1/4 inch thick?
The panels on the front/back are very thin, not sure exactly what the dimensions are. May want to ask here: www.reddit.com/r/LegendsUltimate . You'll likely hear from others that have done it and can give you some better tips than I.
Very helpful. So, where can I get a USB stick that has Tempest and Stargate on it. Thanks.
This guide should help : wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx
Can you do a short video of you playing Tempest and Stargate?
Thanks for the great review - My left Joystick is drifting when I push it upwards - any idea ? Thanks in advance
Very welcome, thank you! If your stick is drifting, it's likely hardware-related. You can reach out to AtGames here: www.atgames.net/arcades/contact , click the purple icon in the lower-right and you can chat with their CS team in real-time and should be able to get you fixed up.
Excellent review. I Recently picked this machine up and I am loving every Pico second of it.
I've downloaded a coinopsx build, the games run fine however, the coinops wheels GUI doesn't show up, only the box art. What I am doing wrong? Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jeff, I ran into the same issue with cox. When you unzip the archive, make sure that all the folders are at the root level on your microSD card (double click in each, make sure there is not another folder by the same name). Then, re-run AddonX Tool and it should be all fixed up.
Hello! i just bought one of the Legends Unlimited arcade machine and i was wondering if you sold the USB's that are preloaded with like packman and Mario? I'm not tech savvy by any means. i really want to do this so the wife will join me and play along side, thanks!!
Congrats, I don't sell the USB sticks no. I have some information on my website that steps you through how to setup your own (PDubs and I partnered to create this guide): wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx . If you absolutely don't want to attempt it yourself (it's not hard), there are places on etsy and even Amazon (example: amzn.to/40TRi9w ) that sell pre-made USB sticks. However, I've never used them and can't attest to anything that you might get as a result.
Very nice review
Thank you Don, I appreciate you watching!
Do you know if you can add arcade Defender, Donkey Kong and Pac-Man to this machine?
Yes you can, here's a guide to help: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx/
Great video, the pinball games you purchased will it work if you are not online or you need to be online at all the time?
Thank you Johnny. I applied the licenses to my ArcadeNet account, they will work off-line (I think) up to 5 times (load/exit 5 times) before requiring me to re-connect.
So I'm curious as to it's longevity, how's it working today? Seen lots of reviews about the control board dying within a few months.
Still working great today. Never had the ctr board go out. I've heard of it happening, though don't think it's as common of an issue as some say. I keep the the machine current with the latest firmware and no issues.
@@WagnersTechTalk appreciate the swift reply.
Great review. Does this arcade come with a two player tetris game?
Thank you! Yes, Tetris Plus is included and has a 2-player VS mode.
Fantastic. Any way you could show how to connect to a PC with Steam for more modern games? Thanks!
It's actually something I have planned, thank you for reminding me!
Had mine for a year or so. Turned it on and the screen lights up tries to update to version5.65 then nothing. No joy sticks work no buttons no spinners or roller ball. I see two blinking blue lights next to the power button. The arcade reads that a stick is in it or not but nothing else. Is there a connection somewhere or fuse between the power button and the console controls? What do the blinking blue lights mean. Any help would be really great.
Hi Capper, this isn't an issue I've run into personally. For the fastest assistance reach out to AtGames here: www.atgames.net/arcades/contact to create a support ticket. From what I understand, response times are within half a day currently so as soon as you fill out their form, you should hear something back by this time tomorrow. Let me know how your experience is with support, if you don't mind. From what I understand they've invested a lot in improving customer service and would be great to hear your feedback.
Was told to Manual reboot . Down load to a stick the press a bunch of buttons all at once.... The buttons don't work so nothing changed. Then told bought in Canada at the Brick so need to deal with them. Feeling kind of lonely here with this boat anchor.
Please try the link above, hopefully the experience will go well for you. They also have an on-line chat feature (purple icon in the lower-right)
wagner, I bought an inline power switch with a toggle switch for the led lights on my atgames ultimat legends arcade machine. I have been look everywhere online but no luck as to how to mount it and where to mount it on the machine. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Scott, I don't personally have one on mine. Perhaps at the back top panel might be a good place with some strong sticky tape? I picked up some years ago (3M) that is very strong and should adhere well to the top back panel of the machine. But again, I've not done this nor seen anyone show a video on how they did it either.
what kind of 3M tape? and if I am going to to do where under the control panel can I mount it? @@WagnersTechTalk
I can't be 100% sure this is it (I don't have the packaging anymore), but this "looks" like what I used: amzn.to/48Tu4nu . Where to mount it would be totally up to you. But, if you use this stuff, it's going to rip the paint off if you remove it. That's why I think the back would be ideal, totally up to you.
Have dreamt of an arcade with TMNT Turtles in Time (Arcade / Snes), but seeing this.. Wow! I wouldn't play Pinball on it, since the screen isnt what I was hoping for, but all other games. Is there any cheaper Arcade that would allow me to add arcade games manually ?
There are a number of options out there, but if you're looking for one that is cheaper and looks like what you saw in this video see this: www.atgames.net/arcades/legends-gamer-series/ and at WalMart www.walmart.com/ip/AtGames-Legends-Gamer-Pro/745469466 . I don't own either of the Gamer devices, but looks like what you're asking for. Note: it doesn't have x2 spinners.
Thank you for the great review, I think I might get one. Hey!!! where did you get your rug in this review.....Im looking for a good rug for my arcade room.
Thank you Kevin! I couldn't remember, did some searching through my old e-mails and found it here: www.wayfair.com/rugs/pdp/joy-carpets-fluorescent-abstract-tufted-fluorescent-area-rug-w001858463.html?piid=336190742 . It wasn't cheap, there are other designs there you may prefer. But, I'm pretty happy with it.
If you wind up getting an ALU, do check out the guide here: wagnerstechtalk.com/alu, lots of info. to help you get started. Also, check out the BitLCD on that page too. It's new and crazy cool: wagnerstechtalk.com/alu/#Legends_BitLCD
@@WagnersTechTalk Thank you!!!!😊
@@WagnersTechTalk Wow!!!! I definitely will.....thanks for the info!!!!
Cool
Great video, its a shame they used lcd screen and not crt, retro games would look far more to there 80s arcade orginal look on crt. I just got the most recent
Release od Coinops Legacy 3 MAX 63GB on usb drive, would that work on this arcade cabinet?
Thank you and no, only CoinOpsX would work. Though, you can add many console games as well. You can check out the guide here: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx/ on that page there is also a link to the Fans of SaUCE subreddit. There you can find out much more about it or the guide can help setup a USB stick. AFAIK - Noone is making CRT's for Arcade machines anymore.
@@WagnersTechTalk you would think they would be a market for re production of CRTs lol
I wish there was, I have an original Defender from '81 that could sure use a new CRT. There are services where you can ship yours off and they replace it with a refurbished one but that's about it as far as I know. I've already re-capped mine once, only lasted about a year before it blew another cap. They are a pita to maintain.
Great review! Is the new v1.1 the side art affixed to the panels? No longer the rollout decals?
Hi Bryan, thank you! The unit I received does have the artwork already affixed to the panels (no rollout decals). I'll try to find out if the rollout decals are still a thing and I'll reply back here or on the news page: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-news/
Did some checking, only Sam's Club has the rollout decal, if that's what you're looking for. All other stores have the artwork affixed to the panels. Hope that answers your question.
@@WagnersTechTalk my ALU arrives this Friday and I’ll confirm this weekend. And yes, I ordered from Sam’s club and prefer no decals on the side so I’ll most likely leave mines black on the sides. Thanks for following up! I really appreciate it :)
How do you put coin ops on the arcade I suck at tech
No worries, this guide should help: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx/
From a builder's perspective: This machine is both brilliant and stupid (i beleive the stupid part was intentional).
Brilliant because i've never seen so many controls on a single machine that wasn't a DIY home construct. Stupid because the video and USB hookups were put no more than an INCH away from the game controls where they could get easily damaged (from an excited gamer) and have to be replaced.
Again, i believe this to be intentional (keeps AtGames in the loop and you needing to pay them)
Brilliant because the game has access to CoinOps and there are, literally, MILLIONS of games that can be added. Stupid because the ports were not constructed with faster ports and, again, put on the back or in some recess (there's a TON of space) where they could be kept out of harm's way.
Brilliant because the machine can be constantly expanded. Stupid (intentionally) because too much of the machine requires internet access when you bought it, and it's yours, at that point internet "license" checking should not be needed, it belongs INSIDE the machine. This part WAS intentional, they want to maintan some control.
I could go on and EVERYTHING i've said was factual and can be checked but i've already spoken to someone at AtGames. They agreed with me, on many of these issues, over the PHONE but will never announce, publically, their feelings because it's too dangerous.
I bought this machine and the pinball machine at the same time. They didn't arrive at the same time and AtGames support just is terrible. "Some" of them are smug/arrogant and treat you like an idiot when you point obvious things out (again, over the phone i was agreed with but you'll never see it in print) that are wrong and they missed it or their system screws up. I even ordered a back-board expansion, for the Pinball, that was bad and the "replacement" cable they sent me didn't even interface with my expansion device. At that point, i stopped because i wasted almost a MONTH going back and forth with them to get to that dead end.
The base games are okay for people who want the memories of the arcade, but the CoinOPs expansion is REALLY what makes it shine.
I do agree, it would have made more sense to place the USB and HDMI ports on the side (or back) of the unit. They are in an awkward location. I also agree that the licensing checking could be optimized a bit more effectively. But all-in-all, it's a great machine IMO. Hopefully they'll improve those few weaker areas in time. I agree once again, CoinOpsX/OTG/HDMI really makes this a GREAT machine! Anyone not familiar with CoinOpsX can check out the guide here that will assist with the setup: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx
@@WagnersTechTalk The CoinOpsX 5.0 "saucey" is the edition i would go for, avoid the older ones. But i would keep an eye open for a possible 6.0 in the future. CoinOps is HUGE and 10x bigger than what you see in 5.0 and growing daily.
Hello hello! I saw on your website that you have a breakdown of the components of this unit. I was specifically interested in the trackball....the one thing that your disassembly didn't say, was the size of the actual trackball itself. Do you by any chance know it's diameter or size? I'm looking to replace mine but not sure what size it is and it's proving to be quite a mystery!! Thank you!
I wasn't the author of that page (just minor edits, primarily). The content that was provided was from dudemo on reddit, you can find him here: www.reddit.com/user/dudemo . If you find out the dimensions from him, let me know and I'll add that to the guide. Thanks for watching!
Wagner I am looking for good surge protector that will not break the bank and be able to to be grounded and protect the ALU machine. Any suggestions?
I personally use this wagnerstechtalk.com/alp4k-pcsetup/#The_Basics (last item on the list). I have an ALU, ALP 4KP and PC (for OTG) connected to the battery backup ports and surge protector. This may/may not be what you're looking for. I've used it for about 3 years and has been working well.
not really Wagner. im thinking about a SP that is protected and grounded. Any ideas?
That's all I've got, it is grounded and only one I'm using. You can check out some at your local hardware store, Amazon, etc. that fits what you're looking for.
OK thanks.
With the newest atgames legends ultimate can is there a work around to play coinopsx without internet if not what method would you recommend to load new games on there if I don't have internet or wifi hotspot? I understand the newer versions don't let you do some things the older did
If you don't have internet, you can use the AddOn (under BYOG) to play games. You'll have to browse for the game, but from what I understand internet isn't needed if you launch the games using AddOn. My machine is always connected to the internet, so I haven't personally verified that.
Hey Jon, 2 questions...The arcade cabinet you built (if I remember correctly it plays thousands of games). How often do you play it? And second question, since you have so many different machines to play retro games which do you find that you play the most? I don't own a cabinet since living in Korea I'm in an apartment. I find I don't play on my PC through BigBox, I don't play on my raspberry pi as much as I do play on my Odroid Go Advance. I guess its easier since I don't have to change the input on my monitor and plug in a controller and the long long wait for retropie to boot.
Just curious about you since you have so many more options.
Great questions, I have 4 arcade machines (not including an ALP) in the house currently (and 1 in the shed, a jama 68-in-1 that needs work). Of the 4 in the house, is this machine and x1 original 1981 Defender cabinet (needs a monitor re-cap/CRT), x1 Data East cab that I found gutted and added a Pi 3 to it and a DK Mini Cab (custom built with a Pi 3b+). Both of the Pi 3-based cabinets have been having issues over the past 6 months. Haven't pulled them apart to see why, but both machines are running RetroPie and lock-up if a game is left on. It could be the cheap encoders (same used in both) or could be the images have gotten corrupted. At one point, I was playing the Data East cab consistently for about 2 years. My plan is to revisit both, diagnose the problem, upgrade to a Pi4 on each and rebuild the control panel on the DE cab with a GRS Trackball/spinner. I just haven't gotten around to working on them. When I eventually get to upgrading them, I'll likely install Recalbox or Batocera and create a new image from scratch. As it stands currently, the only one that gets played is the ALU. Of course, I also play my OGS, RG-351m and V90 lately as well as a new handheld I haven't released a video on yet. Hope this answers your question :)
@@WagnersTechTalk Wow you do have some goodies lol Thanks for the reply. Its fun to hear what people have and what they are doing with them. hopefully its just a image issue with the Pi 3b+s...I dont like SD cards as they aren't so reliable. I had one issue with my Samsung EVO Plus...One day friends came over and it decided not to work at all. I had to reimage it and all was well. So far, same brand card in my OGA has had no problems. Hopefully with the Pi4 youll have less issues.
The more I see of the ALU, the more I like it. It really does have a lot of good features. And the trackball and spinner are awesome to have. I would love to have that. Kaboom! for atari 2600 really needs a paddle/spinner and Arkanoid is another I really want a spinner for. I keep thinking of more and more sinner games lol
I hope you get that Defender crt recapped. I love 80s cabinets but...so many issues arise with them. Which is why I prefer emulating, but I would love to have an emulating device hooked up to a crt. One day!
Hello. I have a problem with coinopsx working on my Alu. It was working before but now when I select a game I can start it with the A button. I can add coins but that's it. Do you have a video on fixing that?
Not something I've encountered. If it was working, now it's not, likely corruption or failing thumb drive. This guide explains how to setup CoinOpsX: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx
Can you add how to remove games from the saUCE to the guide? I want to trim out some of the games I wouldn't play to fit on a smaller USB drive
I'll take a look into this, give me some time though please. May take a bit as I have many projects currently in-progress that I need to complete 👍
Is the screen tall enough for gameplay to be enjoyable? It seems all the games would be frantic if the screen is so small that asteroids and millipedes reach the bottom too fast.
It's 24", IMO very enjoyable. More specs here if interested: www.atgames.us/products/legends-ultimate . I also play Millipede a lot on this cabinet.
Hey , I bought this machine and game options are moving to it’s left by itself. They asked me to reset it. It’s still doing the same. By chance do you know how to fix it?? Thank you
Sounds like an issue with either the CTR board or the control panel. You might try re-seating the connections at the back of the control panel. Perhaps the grey cable isn't fully seated. Other than that, it's likely going to be a hardware issue. I assume you're already talking to AtGames about the issue. You have a 90 day warranty with the machine, I'm sure they'll get you fixed up quickly. If not, let me know.
@@WagnersTechTalk thank you for your reply. They asked me to go to settings and to check for errors because it works fine for first 10 to 15 seconds then it acts weirdly moving options to its left. Let’s see.. thanks again for the reply
wagner. Question. How many usb ports does the the new 1.2 machine have? I need one for the flashdrive and one for lights on the coin door i bought from retro530. am i good or do i have an issue?
All ALU's have two USB ports, one 3.0 and one 2.0 port. If more ports are needed a powered USB hub should also work for you.
so which port does the flash drive go into and which one does the lights for the coin door go into? And how do you tell which one is the 2.0 port and which is the 3.0 USB port?
I've not installed a coin door, but I'd likely use the USB 2.0 port. You can tell because one is blue (3.0) and the other is white (2.0). Flashdrive in the blue port, it's faster than the 2.0 port.
thats what I figured. It was very misleading about the usb ports. it looked like there was only 1 usb port
Hi Jon - new subscriber to your channel. Thank you for this video. Just wondered if it's still worth it to buy this version of the ALU since there will be a 4K version coming out? From what I understand, the new version will not have the Atari games on it. I will be buying it at The Brick in Canada and want to make sure I get the latest version, which I believe to be the 1.2 version. Any other pertinent information would be much appreciated. I am finally getting to retirement age and want to start my own mini-arcade in my home. Many thanks and I'm also looking forward to your ALP 4KP review too!
Hi Terry, thank you for your kind support! It's hard to answer your question, I still love/play my ALU 1.1 a lot. However, knowing that a 4K version is coming this year makes it perplexing. I don't know pricing, so can't draw a direct comparison. I also don't know exactly when they will ship. I do know the UI is going to look a lot nicer, it's going to be faster/more powerful. If the type of games you want to play are mostly 80's to early 90's, chances are the current generation of ALU will be just fine. But, if you're the type that wants the latest and greatest, holding out another 3-4 months may make more sense. I have no plans to get rid of my ALU 1.1 when the new one comes out. It's really your personal preference/call, but just some of my thoughts.
@@WagnersTechTalk Thanks Jon. Yes, I would like to have the 80's games, so I will get the ALU 1.1 while it's still available. I worked in the Arcade industry from 1980 to 1990 so those are my favourites. Thanks again!
@terryb.1938 That's awesome that you worked in the Arcade industry! I grew up in the Arcades in the 80's, it was a magical time - I miss it. While I do play some of the the modern games, it's usually not for long. I still love the classics like Time Pilot, Galaga, etc. Those are the games that I can play for hours. Modern games often add too much "fluff" to a point where it takes forever to get into a game and start playing. If I want to watch a movie, I'll use Prime/NetFlix. If I want to play a game, I want to be able to get in/out quickly, not watch a 5-10 min. intro. that won't let me skip it.
Hi, is there a way ton plug a usb external drive with games (coinop x) from the inside of the cabinet without having to stick the USB cable out?
In this video, I installed the BitPixel to a USB hub inside the machine: wagnerstechtalk.com/alu/#Legends_BitPixel Instead of the BitPixel, you could add a USB stick to the hub which should be what you're wanting.
I am tempted to sell a couple of my Arcade1ups and get this but I am not sure how to download games to a thumb drive - pretty clueless on this kind of stuff. Is there a pre loaded thumb drive I am able to buy?
I can't provide links to games, etc. but check Amazon. I'd recommend the DIY route here: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx
@@WagnersTechTalk I will take a look at the link - thanks
Kodi directly from onboard hardware?
Yes indeed!
I love it
would this machine play games without an internet connection ?
You can play the included 300 games and run games from the BYOG AddOn menu without internet access. If you want to be able to download firmware updates, pinball volumes, upload high scores to the leaderboard, stream games, etc. an internet connection would be needed. Also, if you plan to use CoinOpsX, internet access will need to be available (doesn't stream, but it checks the internet every 5 launches of the application). Hope this answers your question!
If you plug in a flash drive with games loaded on it, do you have to pay to play them?
Hi Ryan, no you don't. Guide here if needed: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx/
@@WagnersTechTalk OK, great! Thanks! I am looking at getting this for our fam for Christmas. What about Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Q-bert? The really popular games. Do you just download those to a flash drive and play them when you like?
Yes, using the link above you can download and install them to the USB thumbdrive. Be sure to check out that procedure/disclaimer and the video. so you'll see what's involved. Then, you go into CoinOpsX, load up the game and play. You can pick up the cabinet locally at Sam's Club, typically (unless they are sold out).
Ok, I'm all setup!! So many games that my head is spinning. Haha! How do you save games and also how do you save high scores when playing games in Coinops? Is it possible? I can't find the "how to" anywhere. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Can you hook up retro shooter pandora box light gun to this system ?
I don't have the system you're referring to, but the Legends Ultimate has HDMI in and OTG (USB) connectivity. It works with most every other system out there (PC, Raspberry Pi, etc.). However, you may want to consider this also: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-aimtrak . In addition, I am planning more light gun content and will be using the ALU in that content.
@@WagnersTechTalk I've already ordered the retro shooter pandora box. If it arrives and dose everything the 3 UA-cam reviews I watched. Itll be a great system. And if it can connect to this arcade machine. Where I can use the control panel to play games itll be top tier.
@@WagnersTechTalk Do you sell USBs with coinx already pre installed for Atgames Legends ?
@@MuffHam No I don't, but there are some on Amazon that do.
Nice review, looks versatile which is interesting, but only shipping in US, so is there anything else similar, maybe even better worldwide that you know of?
Unfortunately, not that I'm aware of. I'll ask if they have any plans for international shipping. What country are you located?
@@WagnersTechTalk England
Checked with them, it appear today they currently ship to the USA and Canada (the Brick). There is a company in France called "Just for Games" who is a distributor, if that's an option.
@@WagnersTechTalk Appreciate the information. I had a quick look on there, looks expensive.
In the US they are $500 USD (Sam's Club), that's $2-300 cheaper than all the new cabinets from the competition. However, not sure how that translates for overseas unit shipments.
Can you play robotron 2084 on this
Yes with CoinOpsX or you can also use OTG.
Thanks
Can you add games ?
Yes, here's a guide on how to do that: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx/
Watch out! apparently you're not supposed to do updates? I've had mine just over 2 years and now I'm replacing the CTR board at my cost, because my controls freeze every time, due to the updates. Why aren't any of the reviewer's talking about this? Typing this search brings up a lot of discussions.
You will see a mix of opinions on this, at the time of this review it was rarely mentioned. I've had this machine for nearly a year now, I always update and I've not had any issues (aside from CoinOpsX not saving high scores). I don't discount the CTR board has been an issue for some, just hasn't been an issue that I've personally experienced. If I had, I would have mentioned it. Along those lines, AtGames has improved their customer service since this video. They now offer a 90-day (instead of 30 day) warranty and have live chat support. I think the main reason this happens is because so many people say not to update and when jumping from version to version miss out on incremental updates that cause these issues. I could be wrong on this though.
@@WagnersTechTalk I've done every update that's come out. Never had issues until (5.65) now. What seems to be coming up is MCU version: NG, BT version : NG . You guys would probably help the community immensely by looking into this?
Certainly a reasonable request, if I can come up with something substantial/helpful to assist.
@@WagnersTechTalk I hate to see people get screwed....haha myself as well. Cheers!
Understood, me neither. I'll ask AtGames if they have any advice on how to prevent it from happening.
I can't get my WIFI to connect! At first, my router showed up, now nothing! CAN YOU PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Hi Chuck, let's try a few things. First, power off the ALU leave it off. Turn unplug your router, leave it off for 20 sec. and plug it back in. Wait until it comes back up, then turn on your ALU. See if that resolved the issue. Also, is the ALU new or have you had it for awhile?
$350ish at Sam's Club right now.
I've heard! If you can scoop it up at that price, I definitely would!
Can you add PacMan and MsPacman to this unit?
Yes and many more, here's how: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx
Could you put it in a bedroom?
I don't see why not. My wife would not go for it, she's placed boundaries on me. But to each his own 😎
@@WagnersTechTalk But what I mean is is it big enough to be In a bedroom Or is it too big?
Tough call, dunno how big your bedroom is or what you have in it. I'd say if you have vertical space of 5.5ft and horizontal space of about 4 feet probably.
@@WagnersTechTalk so maybe going with the mini version is better then right man?
I prefer the ALU myself, with spinners and trackball, larger screen, etc. Measured the alu for you: Width 2ft 6in., height 5 ft. 6in., depth 1ft 10in. Also note, there will be a newer (faster) model coming out later this year that has a 4K display. I may be showing it on the channel in a month or so.
to bad i cant get it im in canada and there in us and other regions only
What about The Brick, do they sell them?
Ah yes, they are at the brick: www.thebrick.com/products/atgames-legends-ultimate-connected-arcade
@@WagnersTechTalk thanks
Niiiiiiiiiice😎👍
Are They Still Charging $1.00 Per Hour To Play Your Own Games On The Machine ? ? ?
no
Wait what is this did they use to do that ?
Junk! Put it together controllers worked an entire 3 mins that was it for the game.
I've had my unit over a year, no issues. Curious, what's it not doing? If it's the Blue LEDs blinking and the controls do nothing, press and hold the P2 button for about 7 seconds until the LEDs turn off. Then, the panel will work. That's my guess as to your problem, there was a bug in the latest firmware (I think) that caused this.
