Is it RPi 3b+ compatible? I’m assuming connecting it with a Pi will allow me to play games from the microSD (RetroPi/emulation station) in my Pi? Same question for emulators; will it essentially allow my RPi “run the show”, as in, detecting all games and emus on my pi and allow me to play them? Lastly, does this 2-player control deck or the puck add extra OOMPH and better performance than a Pi? Extra last questions (sorry all!), does it work well using a usb drive with a MicroSD converter, or must all be dumped to the usb? Pseudo repeat: what emus can it run (w/o RPi)? Glad to see the I/O’s on the rear! Batteries not needed (My ass NASA uses Duracell Copper Tops). Apologies, but another question: I was just bitten by a hybrid Black Widow/Wolf Spider within seconds of being bitten by a Michigan Rattler. Should I call 911 or just drink some Gatorade?
This Arcade comes without 12v cable for the control panel (sold separately) if the internal battery is dead. Coming with a USB cable for charging in any 5v 2amp Connector or Portable power banks. The battery for the control panel is internal (2000mah). If you buying at Sams Club after you open the new account you received 3 free months for play online games and 5 hours at BYOG games
I am very happy you reviewed this and super excited to see your follow up reviews on it. I'm someone who can't afford a arcade machine really and I don't have the room for one. So something like this is my next best option. I'm tempted to buy this but I know At Games has made a lot of crap in the past. I want to see how you add games, I want to see how this will handle games like Pac-Man that work normally with a 4-way joystick, I'd like to see how easy it will be to replace the buttons or even the track ball if I wanted to, and I totally want to see how you attach it to a raspberry pi. I wish it still came with a spinner. Too bad you can't add one. THANK YOU!!
@@testudoterrapin7914 Dude it IS a killer. I've been using Coinops x on the ALU and it works on the Gamer Pro too -I also use the Legendslink to run a bunch of supported Steam games like SFV and Pinball FX3. I got this to mount a tv vertically to the wall mostly for pinball.
@@laz305 I'm on the ALU but it's the same ecosystem so SF up to 3 (4th Strike maybe?) works great and even SFV is supported through Steam with a good enough pc. I couldn't resist at $99 so I'm putting this on a stand and mounting a tv vertically to the wall for HOURS of FX3 pinball. Grats dude! I still can't believe I've got 1600 arcade games to choose from!!
kinda wish I bought this instead of the ultimate... way cheaper, wireless, more comfort, bigger screen, better sound... dang... still cool having a cabinet though. damn you nostalgia!
Thanks for showing us. I wish I would have known about it when it came out. Maybe, they'll release new ones and improved features or at less price point.
Only odd decision i feel that they made here is keeping the ball tops and not adding bats... with the 8 button layout that seems like a no brainer. Would have made swapping out control decks a lot better too.
Great video and overview! Does this work standalone on a PC running Launchbox? In other words, can one just use it as a general purpose controller for MAME and other emulators?
I too would like to know as well. He mentioned something about a PC and streaming, but can you use it to play Street Fighter Champion Edition on your PC or the most modern MK etc.
Would this guy be able to connect to the steam deck? Could be a good base for a dyi arcade cabinet if you want a to save money and like working with wood.
Man, this thing looks sweet. I have a custom bar top 2 player cabinet that runs off a Raspberry pi (Retroarch) so I can't really justify getting this, but I still really want one :D
Just noticed something else, there is a short in the power button. I have to wiggle it a little once depressed to get it to actually come on. It's been two days since mine was brand new in the box.
Yea thank you! There are specifcic games I need to know work, wrestlefest NBA jam, and then Please show us the standard fighting games such as ssf2t MK KI. Then some track ball games like centipede. That's alot and I apologies but any of these would be great.
@@jwill7998 yeah you most likley right. My friend is willing to pay up to $3500 Canadian for an arcade unit. I know the games he's going to want and I'm trying to see if we can save a good chunk of money here.
I have a couple of their junky systems (the blue one w/fake “wii motes”, but for $7 at Walgreens and an adult slot, cool. And the black cart-based one), but I gotta say I love their handheld genesis (white shell, 3.2” screen, Sd slot). I use it for bathroom breaks :) (every bathroom needs 3 things: TP, a handheld game system and a Bible!). This doesn’t look too shabby!
Is there anyway to do a tutorial on hooking this joystick to pi? I have followed the in menu options but it does not work and the lights never blink. I watched your video on the arcade stand up but it is different and I cant find any instructions on line for this arcade stick to pair with pi.
Just got this and I can't get the controls to pair like shown here. P1 and P2 show up in the menu and appear to connect, but they don't work. Once in a while (maybe 5% of the time) they will randomly pair, but once I turn them off they won't connect again. Anyone experienced this or have a fix?
Just opened mine today. Took me three hours just to get it to connect to my wifi. Apparently, it won't connect if your wifi name (SSID) has spaces in it. Also, the ArcadeNet games have terrible lag. I have very fast internet at home, so the lag had to be server side. Also, the unit itself keeps freezing, sometimes for 10 to 15 seconds, when navigating around in the settings menu and such. No freezing in game as of yet. Finding it a little hard to see what all the fuss is about. So far, seems like a typical AtGames plug and play. It works, but not that great. And the documentation is useless.
Would this work in the standup atgames legends ultimate arcade? Swappable? I like the main arcade layout but need to add L2 and R2. Board inside has slots open but do not activate said buttons when I tried. Any advice?
This looks really good, but I didn't see you test to see how much it could handle. For instance, can it handle Spider-Man for Sega's System 32 hardware on the arcade emulator? Can it handle Street Fighter 3? X-Men VS Street Fighter?
AtGames products make me nervous. I bought a Atari flashback 9 gold and loved it, thought to myself "I don't see what people are complaining about?, this is a good product". Then 6 months later, the console just stopped playing games; the console would boot up, but when i would select a game the console would crash. I then thought "Oh, this is the poor quality people are talking about". That said, maybe they've turned it around and are putting out decent products.
Mr. ETA Prime. I have a very specific question. What is the best forum to ask you questions? I have 100% zero social media footprint. Thank you for your time, and stay healthy. Also, thank you for the great Pi videos.
Well go for it here due to the fact someone else asked another question. it's been a while since you've made a rom collection browser video and the entire internet for that matter. I really want to use ROM collection browser as my front end in Kodi running via Libreelc openelec, or OSMC. I have set up open media vault on a raspberry Pi 4 successfully have shared all music TV shows and movies to my Kodi. I am also able to set up ROM collection browser to scrape all games and actually play off the retro player all from the NAS. My true hook is I want to set up external emulators on the raspberry Pi 4 through one of those OS's and I have no idea how to do it. Quick reason I cannot have the same functionality and save functions on the retro player snes9x, as I do with the stand alone.The question is how do I set up an external emulator to run perfectly through ROM collection browser, all installed on a raspberry Pi 4 with any of the listed above OS's? I really don't want to use IAGL, due to large list, and I already have the media. Thank you for your time
I been hoping to see a video on this connected to Rpi I have a Rpi B+ setup and wonder if this is worth it. If I get one I might do a video or two on my channel with different emus.
I am curious how Heavy Barrel plays. The original game let you rotate which direction the character aimed in by rotating the joystick. What did you find was the solution employed with this new controller?
what games do you want to see tested in the next video?
Tetris
Killer instinct 1994 arcade version
Can you show how to upload games from Roms and how it works? TMNT/Simpsons/Street Fighter/MK? How easy is it? Thanks
@@imakemloose69 yes !! Good question .
Golden Tee Golf please :D
It's crazy how AtGames are turning things around. Good for them.
I love my legends ultimate arcade. i have purchased and built a lot of arcade cabinets and it's a good one.
@@TMS5100 Is it good for playing your own backups/roms?
@@ThePeacePlant yes you can load your own roms onto it, you can also hook an rpi4 directly up to it if you want.

Just a heads up, this is $100 at Walmart right now. Great deal.
Saw that too! Curious what all we can do to it to play other arcade games like on MAME
Lol I bought it today. Are you doing what I’m doing and watching videos now to see what you can do with it? Haha
@@johnmurray4812 I am !!! 😂😂😂
Looking forward to booting it up next week.

On sale right now at Walmart for $99!
I couldn't resist and I already own the ALU. I'm mounting a TV to the wall vertically for pinball and vertical arcade games.
@@nevursleep At that price you can't go wrong
Got one right away too. Hopefully I'll get the Ultimate Arcade and Pinball this year too.
Picked this up because of you. Got mine at Sam's Club for $179.99 on sale. Keep up the great vids!!!
Just ordered for $99 from Walmart. Can't wait to see how I can add my classic Arcade game meme roms to it
thats what brought me here lol
Yeah, for $99 the controllers alone are a value, add in being able to hopefully add my MAME and other ROMs via USB and this could be killer.

Now if only we could get the rights back for Mrs.Pacman
hi funny twitter person
Any links to the other videos mentioned ? I’d like to add my pi.
Did he ever do the other videos?
Looking Forward to the video on pairing it by Bluetooth to the Raspberry Pi
kinda wish I bought this instead of the ultimate... way cheaper, wireless, more comfort, bigger screen, better sound... dang... still cool having a cabinet though. damn you nostalgia!
no spinner tho. I'm an Arkanoid nut and I'd have to have a spinner for it to really be my ultimate table
this is a great addition to the space. Love that it can pair with a Pi.
Can this system pair with a PC as well?
Great Review My Dude!!
Love your vids. Heep up the great work!
What type of batteries does the control deck take is it an internal rechargeable battery and what's the battery life like
internal rechargeable battery. Came without charger. A couple hours +
So if the control deck comes without a charger then how do you recharge the control deck?
@@yardman1977 I’m guessing a USB port
Thanks for reviewing this ETA...I was wondering about this device...
Just got this thing can't wait to get it
I also saw ikari warriors.. how do they address the rotating joystick? does these joysticks do rotation?
Thanks for showing us. I wish I would have known about it when it came out. Maybe, they'll release new ones and improved features or at less price point.

Think I will be putting this on my Christmas list. Looking forward to see more videos on this.
can this be used with PlayStation or Xbox systems?
Need a new review that focuses on MAME. That's the real deal with this unit!
2:13 strange you would think it would be paired already out of box. Thanks for that info. 👍
I guess it makes sense. You have to pair controllers to current systems out of the box.
Time consuming. Saves company time by having user do it. Plus with all the other blue tooth devices around it would cause confusion.
I love your review videos. They are clear and concise, and very informative. Thanks for keeping up your channel.
Man, this thing looks sweet. I have a custom bar top 2 player cabinet that runs off a Raspberry pi (Retroarch) so I can't really justify getting this, but I still really want one :D
Can this play console games like game cube or ps2?
Can the sticks be configured to play twin-stick games? Or are they on separate channels?
Beautiful,Full control,The perfect rocker
Is there room inside to install a Glen's Retro Show usb spinner?
I Love this thing. Got it for Christmas.
Video on what can I control with the gamer pro? Xbox original? Ps2? Wii?
Always great videos sir. Always on point and informative.
Can you install it on the arcade legends ultimate 1.1?
Yes. You just need to take off the pinball buttons
Would have like to hear about the track ball quality and implementation
