COOLTOY love your videos man! My favorite sub channel. Keep up the great work. Just ordered my Legends cabinet and can’t wait to get it
David Tippy thank you very much for the support! Enjoy your new cabinet man.
Glen needs to make us a light gun revolver or machine gun for shooters !!!! Please tell me somehow atgames will makes light gun games playable ??? i s badly want to play house of the dead 1-3 !!!
COOLTOY love your videos. I purchased 2
Tron flight sticks. Do you know how to connect 2 sticks to 5v power for the leds? Any help would be appreciated.
@@madlou2 ,, just skin the wire coating back , connect the wires to each and use black elecrical tape ..
Cooltoy, thanks for another great video! Several pointers for those who are installing the GRS Tron Joystick into their AtGames Legend Ultimate Arcade. First, after fully inserting the Tron Joystick into the Joystick body, you will need to compress or push the locking retainer/spring below the joystick's locking pins and then rotate the retainer until the pins align with the locking pin grooves on the retainer/spring assembly. Cooltoy's video at 7:54 shows the alignment. If you don't do this, the joystick will be loose and can be easily pulled out during play. Next, when installing the wire harness provided in the upgrade kit, the blue & white spade (male) connectors may loosely fit when pushed into the B-Button female quick connectors. If loose, pull out the spade connector(s) and using a small pliers, GENTLY squeeze the top and bottom sides of the B-Button female quick connectors. Do not squeeze the sides of the quick connectors. Check the fit and make adjustments until the connection is tight. After installing the wire harness, you may wish to use small 4" cable ties to organize or bundle the wire harness, to make the wiring less scattered. If you do use cable ties, be sure to clip the excess cable tie, that protrudes after the locking clip or mechanism. Finally, I installed the GRS Tron joystick on the right hand player side (Player 2) of my ALU unit. Using the latest ALU firmware update (4.6.0 and later), you can swap the player 1 and player 2 controls using the Control Mirroring function in the settings menu (hat tip to Glen of GRS). The player control swap is retained at the next power up of the ALU. The installation of the Tron joystick on the right hand side is identical to the left hand side, except you are using the right hand side B-Button. Having the Tron joystick on the right hand side is awesome! I hope this helps! Cooltoy, thanks again!
I believe you can use the tron stick for zaxxon, Satans hollow, afterburner, Gorf , flight style games. I'm sure I missed some others.
Very cool! I've always enjoyed the commercial arcade version of Tron. Now, it's closer to being at home. Thanks for sharing this.
ThomasGrillo glad you enjoyed the video!
The included screws only work with the SAMs club version of the cabinet. The Walmart and AtGames direct cabinets need #10-32 x 3/8" screws. Easy enough to come by, but frustrating to find out after you've got everything apart.
Awesome video. I just installed the joystick and swapped the player one and two controllers. Thanks for the help!
Love this! The only thing other thing needed is,to be able to swap or, map the buttons from player 1 to player two,for those who want to use the flight stick with their right hand. It's not going to hinder me from buying this,though!
subversive1219 you can install the stick in the player 2 spot and reroute the joystick wiring from player 1 to the Tron joystick and get the right handed player 1 gameplay experience
@@cooltoy Good point!
@@cooltoy I did this and while the joystick lights up, the trigger doesn't work. I'm completely at a loss. Can you help in any way?
Nice upgrade 👍
it's an absolute thing of beauty.
Space Harrier with that stick..oooh yeah!
TboneNYC10 that’s another awesome game that I tested with this stick, really fun experience
Great video CoolToy! Glen makes some awesome products.
Wagner's TechTalk yes he does! I can’t wait to check out hit star wars flight yoke that he’s currently got on Kickstarter. I’m sure it’s going to be great quality just like his other products
@@cooltoy Ditto here my friend! Hoping I'll be able to create a 3D Printed control panel for the Star Wars flight yoke like what was done for all his existing products (Examples: wagnerstechtalk.com/grs/ ). Not sure if it can be done, but will be fun to try.
Hardcore mod-ding on an ALU lol!! Great video really informative!
PK Hsiung thank you very much!
Just got mine installed and working.
I have a problem with 2 of my screws. I will have to go to my local hardware and get some that are just a bit longer. The ones that came with the kit are just a thread or two shy. I also had a little bit of head scratching on how to get the stick installed. Finally figured it out that I had to push down the collar and rotate it. in you video you mention that you can push down and swap it out. If yours does that can you show a video of that?
It would be nice if there was a dimmer of some kind on the wiring. Easy enough to make one, which I will eventually. One other slight issue with the size of the controller is that it might get in the way of some HDMI or Blast dongles. I have used some angle and bendable adapters.
With those slight issues Im happy with it and it works great. Great addon for a super great cabinet!!!!
This is sick! Great stuff as always Doug!
Trey LaMontagne Glen definitely makes some awesome products!
Cool! First thing I noticed was the stick is on the wrong side lol. I know you can move it to the right, but why is it every retro setup has all the buttons to the right of the joystick? I can't find any off the shelf setup with left side buttons. Many of my favorite games had buttons on the left of the joystick. I would always hold it in my right hand if possible. Cyberall is so difficult when the joystick is in my left hand. Thankfully I can add a button.
Really makes that cabinet stand out now! Looks awesome! Great video CoolToy
BLAKER it really is a great product, Glen makes some top notch arcade accessories!
The fact that you have to unclip the wires defeats the simplicity of being able to swap out the controls. You still have to open it up to swap it. Also it irks me that the swapped joystick doesn't match thd Legends Ultimate ones.
Noted :)
I'd be all over it if it was easier to swap the sticks. It's just too much of a hassle the way it is. You'd think having a shaft with a connector that is built into the top would make the most sense. That way you could easily swap between the Tron stick that slides over the shaft and utilizes the connectors with a ball or bat top that doesn't utilize the connectors.
It has lights in it. OBVIOUSLY you have to connect wires..
@@meatballsaucey Agreed, it's annoying that he glossed over that entirely
Great video and review. Just ordered one for myself.
FrEtBurNeR 89 enjoy your time on The Grid!
The only downside to this amazing upgrade, is the need to open the panel and remove / reconnect the wires again each time. of course you could have it non illuminated, but the B button still needs hooking into the loom.
Pretty cool dude but I don't think I'm gonna do this. Honestly I can't wait to get mine in. Got the ball for centipede bowling etc. . spinner for tempest, etc, and joystick for everything else. One day I'd love At games to release cabinets with differnent controls. Flight stick for TRON, After Burner, etc. . Wheel for racing games. .
Love that background!
If you mount thiS on the second player, can you flip controls for player one for specific games to the two player? Would like to not have to remove the joystick over and over and just leave it on player two for games like you showed. Would hope you can setup controller profiLes by game and save them in this manner.Thanks.
I LOVE the hardware and the features, but yeah, it's the swapping procedure due to the wiring that has me shying away. Also, would pay extra for a bat topped standard stick, then I could take care of two issues. Key thing for me is being able to change the controller parameters without having to open up the gaming deck each time.
Hey Doug thanks for another great video!
I'm always happy to help out the community!
@@cooltoy :)
Hope Arcade1up sees this and makes a Tron Cabinet... take my money Arcade1up
Cristopher Williams they are definitely aware that there is a big demand for a Tron cabinet
The two stick, two kits thing is confusing. Put it all in one kit.
Yes ,,, WTF ... the Tron Gun kit and Wires should be in 1 package and a Single order ..
Ok so I guess I have an updated model. The screws supplied for attaching the new joystick base are too thin. I’m guessing that the length is OK but the replacement screws are definitely too small for the original screw holes
The upgrade kit is no longer on amazon - anyone have other sources?
Was I the only one dreaming of Space Harrier and after burner.
Tim Katsigiannis two of the best Sega classic arcade games ever!
Curious if you were going to MoGameCon Jr. this Sat. If so please stop by my vendor booth and say hi
I really wanted to attend the show, but sadly I had prior commitments with family this weekend so I can't make it out to the show. Good luck with the booth, hopefully you can sell some stuff. I saw your preview video, looks like you're going to have some very cool things for sale at the booth.
Doug I don't have a Legends Ultimate System. If I drop the regular joystick in the base to use it as a regular joystick, does the base have a USB connection so I could plug it into a USB port on my laptop to play arcade games? How could add more Happ buttons to the base so I can play the six button arcade games? Thanks for the great review!!
Received my upgrade kit today, sadly the longer screws they provide are the wrong thickness, too thin, to hold the joystick in place. I have the walmart version of the LUA. I have emailed Thunderjoystick support to see if they can correct.
I hope we get a good performing easy switch 4 way to 8 way joystick. I have yet to see one without a motor that works good. if you know of one please share.
Any quicker way to switch out the tron stick with tje regular joystick? Maybe a longer cable and/or access port to switch externally....Seems like a pain to open the controls each time. Thanks for the video. Awesome as always.
unfortunately not
@@cooltoy I think i will try and make it easier. If im successful, i will send you the details and pics. As always thank you for your great videos.
this would be awesome if there was a way to buy it
Awesome video and great install demo. Is anyone having problems with the spinner not working anymore with tron? I noticed my spinner would work and after I updated (don’t know exactly which one) now i have to use the buttons for direction and B to shoot. Any fixes that I missed? I tried tempest and my spinner works just fine. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!!!
Thinking about getting this.... do you have to remove the player 1 joystick? Or can you remove the player 2 but use it as a 1 player game mode? basically does this render playing all other games impossible or can I still enjoy other non flight stick coin ops games
FYI: The B button quick connect is very hard to remove. You have to really wiggle it or even use a flat. If you do plan to hot swap the joystick and Tron joystick often, you have to leave the bottom cover open at all time or make a peelable half bottom cover. How do you config tron to work with spinner?
Tron is already configured to work with the spinner.
Cool!
What's up friend, excuse the question, how durable are the joysticks and buttons that the board has, I ask you since I just bought it and I like fighting games, and you know that with how competitive they get sometimes They are no longer lovingly used... Can you recommend me joysticks and buttons that are compatible for Legends Gamer Pro? Thank you very much for your answer.
I got my Legends Uliimate 2 weeks ago from Sam's ... I was Hyped up and Ready to order the Tron lighted jOystick ,, until I read the cOmments b-Low .. The Tron joystick only work on 4 or 5 games . So I would have to re-assemble Everything and install the original joystick to play Galaga and the other 340 games .. Not sure about Matal slug ,, Most of the games I play , the Fire button is the A button ,, not the B .. Hmmm
You still have that wiring harness that you didn't use in this video? If so how much? I need one.
Do you think I would need the upgrade kit to install this on an Xarcade tankstick? Would love to see a tutorial about this...
Just got mine in. Have not installed yet. It triggers me that you have the spinner on the right side lol. I must have played more Tron than you back in the day.
Great videos sir, loved them all for the Atgames, so much so I bought one, question is have you ever thought of putting in a 2nd button on the joystick for discs of tron, I saw a mod for it but with the controller board, not with the adapter plugs for Atgames?
I personally haven't considered it, mainly due to the fact that I don't want to do any permanent mods to my control deck on my Legends Ultimate.
@@cooltoy Another question for you, do you think the Tron stick is "too" bright, don't have mine yet, but saw someone talk about putting a 1K resistor in to lower the brightness, any thoughts on that?
Is there a version of the conversion kit for the 1.1? The 1.0 kit seems to be gone (and I have a 1.1 anyway), though the joystick itself looks to be in stock.
Hi and congrats for the video! ALU 1.1 or 1.0?
This was on 1.0. The 1.1 didn’t exist yet when I made this
wow just what i was looking for! is it possible to connect the stick to an analog of a ps4 controller? left for example, and the buttons to L1 and L2? and do the same for the right analog and the R1 and R2? i ask because I don't know if it affects the sensitivity of the ps4 analog, when changing it will be the same sensitivity of the original analog?? I have a project in mind but I don't know if it will work, and this type of stick is just what I was looking for !!! it's great!!!
This is not an analog joystick
whz did u connected the Fire Button to The B Button, and not to The A ??
I purchased 2 Ton Flight sticks wit 2 adapter kits. I do not know how to install player 2 joystick and connect the led's, any help would be appreciated.
I've been trying to.buy a at games legends arcade online but it's all sold out every I go do u know if there going to release more to the public thanx man
more will be available in february/march at some point
Question, Where did you get the game Afterburner? Info would be greatly appreciated.
Matthew Martinez the rom was from archive.org
COOLTOY Thank you my friend.
Dude, where can I get that shirt?
Rob Grey I got the shirt at E3 last year from the Sega booth reps after testing out the Sega genesis mini
Hey Cool Toy would you happen to know what that harness is called? I was looking to do something similar with adding an additional xinput encoder board but not lose the functionality of the native AtGames encoder board. Don't wish to go through the trouble of using t-connectors. Thanks for video but as always leads me to want to do more projects and ultimately spend more money.
Fear NoEvil reach out to glens retro show, he can likely tell you exactly where to get the harness
Will do. Thanks for the great content as always.
What's the best thing to take out to put this in? i wanna be able to play all other games still can i take out the player 2 spinner and put this in it's place and use it as a player one controller but in the player 2 spinner spot?
you can not replace the spinners with this joystick
@@cooltoy so you can only replace a joystick for a joystick? :/ seems like a bad compromise as most people would probably want to play games other than just tron or other similar stick games
This is for 1.0 installs
The button on the Tron joystick doesn’t work. Any tips on how to fix this?
did you check the connections on the microswitches?
Are these GRS Tron sticks available anymore. They have been out of stock on Amazon for awhile...does anyone know of any other retailers
Not available any longer as he is producing a new revised version
😃
Glen Planamento keep pumping out the great products man! The community loves them
@@cooltoy thanks Cooltoy. That means alot :)
@@GlensRetroShow Congrats and kudos to you both - great community service thank you!
@@pkhsiung304 thanks PK for creating such a fantastic product. It's a good marriage :)
Hey COOLTOY, or anyone else, I have just received my torn stick and just got my ALU (sams 1.1) version! I’m trying to hook up the joystick and it appears the guts are different, I can’t find anywhere how to hook up the led wire?? Is there something I’m missing? I can’t find a video or article anywhere explaining the trick to get this led wire hooked up, can you guys help a brotha out?? Thanks 🙏
Reach out to Glen Planamento on Facebook or through his UA-cam channel. (Glens Retro Show) he’ll be able to answer any questions you have
@@cooltoy thank you for the quick reply, loving your channel!!!
How do you get the Tron stick to lock in place? Mine is very loose and sloppy. When the panel was upside down,the stick would just fall out. What am I doing wrong?
are you using the replacement screws that came with the Tron kit or are you usng the OEM screws that were in the oriignal joystick?
@@cooltoy Original screws. I think I've got it figured out. I watched one of Glen's other videos on it, found my problem. Thanks for the reply!
anytime, I hope you get it all fixed up, its an awesome joystick once installed.
would this mod work on a RecRoom Masters 32" Xtension Emulator Edition Plus Cab? was thinking i might be able to switch out the dedicated 4way stick for this and i would still have 2 8way sticks plus a flight stick?
this is not an analog joystick, so while it looks like a flight stick it doesn't function as one. Think of it as a joystick with a built in trigger.
@@cooltoy i understand that it uses micro switches my control deck has suzo happ sticks which also use those micro switches
this is the one i have the top stick is a dedicated 4way was wondering if i could switch it out for this tron one
Which of the three restrictor plates did you use?
I used the 4 way
Do you know if there are any issues with the different Atgames controller board. Mine is different- I have 10 screws to open the controller panel.
the only issues I've heard regarding this controller are some of the older GRS tron sticks came with screws that were the wrong thread diameter, which made them difficult to screw down to the control panel. I've not heard of anyone having an issues with their Walmart version vs the Sam's Club cabinet version.
COOLTOY thank you- I will buy the Tron controller as soon as my monitor issues is resolved (waiting for a scalar board)- I currently have to use a tv hook up. Great channel.
The button on the Tron joystick doesn’t fire. Any tips on how to fix this?
Hope he gave you the review unit gratis
Glen charged him fifty bucks.
hi!!! how install joystick on ALU 1.1 it is not the same mother board
You’d have to reach out to Glen Planamento (maker of the joystick) on his UA-cam channel to answer that. I only have the ALU 1.0 so I can’t speak to anything regarding the 1.1 version
@@cooltoy Ok i understand thanks for your feedback
🍿👏
I see that thumbs down... 🤔 wonder if it’s that repeat offender...
Hot Pockets I’ll know in about 48 hours when the UA-cam analytics gets refreshed. Haters gonna hate, but I’m gonna keep on keeping on regardless.
First!!
My Family notification bell squad! Thanks for checking out the video
They are not toys they are shelf fillers... Toys have died back in the early 90's when G.I Joe, transformers and ninja turtles went down hill.
what does this comment have to do with this arcade?
@@cooltoy it reminded me off those channels that big expensive statues of certain ip's sorry I ruined your day.
