    Mine has been great, but the stock tables were done half-hearted. The Taito and Zaccaria ones rock though. I mainly play OTG with Future and Visual tables via PC. Over 1,000 tables. I turn off haptic. It bugs me on all other devices as well- turn off there as well.

    I unplugged the haptics and I havent really missed them. When I got the joystick I gave the new ones another shot but it was basically the same buzzy mess so I still left then off. I got the stick to play vertical shooters and the buzzing during arcade games was horrendous anyway.

    I bought one and had the exact same issues. I returned it. They gave me a replacement and no issues at all. I think both you and I got lemons. The stock tables require settings adjustments which is ridiculous. The zaccaria table downloads are actually really good

      I'm kinda floored that my man just played the trash stock tables and gave up lol. I mean... dang dude. I'm glad HE has time to waste returning stuff without even doing any troubleshooting. In his defense, yeah the stock software is BALLS. But i can say that about a lot of these companies.
      iiRcade also has some trash games available, a few good ones. The NeoGeo MVSX cab has a handful of good games and a ton of copypaste fighters... My Recroom Masters i had to buy the TV and the speakers, AND add in the raspberry pi, i paid someone else to config the frontend and roms and just called it a day but i still had to build the damn thing lol.
      Unless you drop good $ on 4k dollar cabinets and pinball tables the stock software just kinda... sucks in most of these cabs and tables. OR you can buy a kiddie toy A1up with a handful of solid titles per unit that stands like 4 feet tall and kills your neck and back after 20 minutes.

    I recently set mine up about three weeks ago. The games are mostly trash that come with it, I bought a few game packs which were disappointing. The left flipper button was problematic, as it sometimes did not move when activated. Ended up swapping out the bumper button and it works fine now. I quickly got bored with the games so I ended up hooking it up to a laptop to play pinball fx3 - now I'm happy. This product seemed half baked. I mean you have to buy a switch controller for the monitor (for the output of the top monitor to the cpu) and it is crazy overpriced. The stock buttons are horrible. Now they are selling (pre-order) an all new system (just the mother board) with expanded memory, and updated CPU for $400 to $500 lol

    I came real close to buying one of these earlier this year but I saw way too many people have issues with them. It’s an unfinished product that was rushed to market. They’re selling all these add on pieces for the unit saying they’re upgrades when they should’ve been included from the start. Buying something and modding it is one thing but buying something and having to buy parts from them or a third party because their parts are either substandard, break or both, is inexcusable. I’m glad I went and had a pinball machine custom made with far superior parts and a three year warranty.

    Really seems that you got a "dud" - I recently got my Legends Pinball and haven't really had any issues at all - though I really agree about the quality of the tables included and going the BYO route is best if you're going to run off of a PC anyhow. There are "time of day" adjustments for the overall screen brightness. I'm keeping mine but will build one later this year too.

  • @mikahundin
    @mikahundin 2 роки тому +1

    I think even if a person ends up liking the Atgames Legends Pinball, is seems risky to buy from Atgames directly as you will also have to pay for return shipping and not get refunded the original shipping to you. Better off buying through Sam's or other retailers who will eventually sell them. I bought mine through Amazon from a 3rd party seller. Got mine a week ago.

  • @esmondkim1357
    @esmondkim1357 3 роки тому +2

    I had the same problem. Wave1 didn't have this problem, subsequent Waves did. I noticed Wave1 had screws in the corners of the front panel securing the panel down. I don't know if that's why Wave1 didn't have the problem, but it's a possible explanation. It's total BS, and AT Games should fix it, and more power to people who feel like returning it. You can remove the front panel, remove the exciters and attach the exciters to the sides of the cabinet by the flipper buttons with two sided tape, and that helps tremendously. Consumers should be able to use it out of the box, and it's not cool that people should have to do this. It might even void the warranty. Even after the fix, you also have to tweak the settings a great deal to hit the perfect spot where the exciters and accelerometer work correctly with good sound and no ghost nudging. But, after the effort it took the machine from unplayable to a great machine with some solid bass and rumble and some haptic. I submitted a ticket to AT Games and they never admitted the fact that this is a hardware and design problem that needs to be fixed. If you buy it, be ready to do a hardware mod of some sort to fix it, or wait for future waves.

      I saved my money for a toy!What I thought I was getting,wasn't even close.
      Very disappointed,
      dissatisfied.SURPRISE!
      My own fault.I watched,read,heard every single horror story about the ALP,Atgames support and defects...WON'T happen to ME!!
      I AM SPECIAL!!
      How I became "SOS'D"
      STUCK ON STUPID I DON'T KNOW!!
      Paid well over 1200.00 to my door for the ALP,didn't work from DAY ONE!!
      None of the built ins PLAYED!Tried exchanging,returning
      repairing at my expense.
      The retailer refused to exchange it,refund it or repair it.
      If it wasn't for someone in the group asking me how the Taito or Zaccaria tables played,I would have had a BIG BOX with a BIG LIT UGLY SIGN REMINDING ME EXACTLY WHO CHEATED ME OUT OF CLOSE TO 1500 BUCKS.
      Haptics were buzzing,back box speaker blown,AND the plunger broke!!
      I was told that I had to wait for the update to the firmware!
      This magical firmware can fix the built ins,haptics,plunger and speakers and MY 1200.00+260.00 of Tables I had to purchase just to get it to work!A 1460.00 DOLLAR BROKEN TOY,that NOBODY would take responsibility for.
      Had I NOT updated my firmware to begin with,had I NOT done the factory reset,I would have been able to play SOME of the built ins.
      I had to be careful not to do anything they didn't tell me.
      I could not void my warranty.
      HMMMMMM🤔😏I WONDER WHY SOMETHING ELECTRONIC OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS,HAS A 30 DAY WARRANTY?
      Maybe it's because they DON'T believe in their machines to begin with.
      1 update,2 updates,3...4..NOPE!!
      October,November,
      December came and went.
      JANUARY, FEBRUARY AND ....THEY SAY"YAH LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT A BAD MACHINE,TRY RETURNING IT TO THE RETAILER".
      HELLO...WTF!!
      I didn't know that I was going to be buying a DIY kit!!
      I DIDN'T KNOW THAT TECHNICAL SKILLS WERE GOING TO BE NECESSARY.
      Atgames should have given me a new machine,fixed my machine,given me the codes for the tables I had to buy tables,just to play their machine that I paid TOP TOP DOLLAR to even get the thing!!
      They did offer to SELL me a new plunger,if I could provide a US address to send it to.
      Do you think that because I opened up three tickets within hours of my delivery,that they had an obligation to repair or replace the parts at minimum?
      Reimburse me for 260.00 of tables I would have never purchased before it wouldn't work otherwise.
      I still am supportive of this company,but they are NOT supportive of US!!
      Do I have Stockholm syndrome or something?
      In their defense,I have had dealings with their support and their distributor that has been excellent however,there's only so much that they are able to do without company authorization.
      I even tried the credit card company,AND I RECORDED each and every phone call,email,conversation
      I even bought the monthly subscription that didn't work for me either.
      Someone who is a lot brighter than me,is going to sue them if they were cheated as I feel that I was.
      Stringing me along from DAY ONE!!
      I still have high hopes for MY ALP!!
      Atgames distributor,SENT ME NEW HAPTICS,SENT ME A NEW BACK BOX TO FIX THE SPEAKER,HE GUIDED ME THROUGH EACH STEP.
      I would have tried to build it myself if I wanted to burn 1400.00 on a 32 inch TV and 21 so so games that never worked.
      Just like the website.
      If you say anything NEGATIVE or that they don't like for whatever reason your deleted!SOMEONE SUGGESTED TRYING TO GET SOME TABLES FROM TAITO
      They did play with adjustments,thanks George and the other amazing people who have been consistently helping me.
      I can try to do anything that's possible with this machine...and I will ALWAYS have great people to help me out with absolutely anything and everything.
      Other than that,Atgames dropped the ball.
      I feel like I have been cheated badly.
      I was so happy to have it.I was so patient waiting for my "miracle"firmware update.
      Six months later atgames tells me that I got a bad machine...try to return it 🤔🤨🙄😥
      This is so unfair,so wrong,on so many levels.
      Before I realized that my machine was not going to be fixed,I got my friend to get one.
      Plays every day for hours and not a problem.
      I would have been such a kreep if his didn't work.
      Thanks for listening,I rarely ever talk about it anymore.
      I actually tried to buy another one before Christmas,thinking that it was a legitimate company,and would fix my problems.
      Half of a year to find out that I have been screwed.

It’s just annoying and doesn’t add anything to the experience. The most important thing in virtual pinball is the controls and the nudge . Aslong as those are correct , it will feel real. I don’t like playing pinball on Xbox cuz a game pad , that’s not the right controls .

Out of the box it is trash. Most everyone, even MANY ALP fans, readily admit that. Half the comments here agree. Slick deals, reddit, and many hobby groups are full of similar comments. You won't however see it on the FB groups as all negative comments are banned. Enjoy your ALP dude.

    I returned my unit as well. Same exact issue as yours. Not acceptable for 800$. It was beyond annoying. All the community members have said add weight, move this, move that, tape or glue this and that. Change the setting to this and that. Buy new Daytons. The thing is we shouldn't have to do any of that. It's a known issue. It needs to be addressed. I even tried most of those remedies and sure it worked ok for one table but the next would be unplayable. I returned to my local Sam's within 48 hours. Just a bummer that most of the community accepts these flaws. I have several of their other products, this one was a major bummer. All these DYI ideas just to get it "acceptable " is not ok with me for 800.

      Once you get all the stuff "fixed" it still is not that great. The games are all older cheap Android based games with graphics setting turned down. To make it cool you must fix all the flaws AND add then a $1000 computer, mod theback box (void already bad warranty) buy tables from a 3rd party, program the tables to work, and accept the muted colors of the included screen. This is basically a prototype. They need to completely redesign the unit and likely triple the price. If you are a type that likes to tinker you will be able to buy broken ones soon for a couple hundred.

      Prepare to mod these midrange cabs and tables, or you have two other options, Save some scratch and get a kiddiecade from A1up with laughable hardware and insanely small playfields... HARD PASS for me personally.
      Buy an expensive AF 4k-6k table from one of the richman sites out there... that's about it for options.
      Which personally i'm okay with because just about 3 years ago you had two options. Drop thousands of dollars and maintain a pinball machine which also costs tons of money over time. Or build it yourself... and fix it yourself. Find a manual and study, study, study repairs!
      I'll take one of these for $800 and finish the damn thing myself lol.

      @mitchmiller3714  2 роки тому

      Exactly the point sir.. I spent about the same amount custom building a table from scratch. Basically every part on the atgames pinball needs to be replaced, even the too short legs. You can get a roaches real pinball machine for the frame for $100 and use the legs.
      Least the a1up works out of the box. That was the point of the video, unless you intend to seriously mod this machine, it's a waste of money. Many many don't intend to throw $1500+ at it

    Enjoyed your review of the AtGames pinball table….
    The whole point of getting a virtual pinball table
    is plug in and play. I definitely would be pissed if I had
    to go thru all the problems your dealing with.
    Personally, I have both Star Wars and Marvel from
    Arcade1Up and I’ve had no problems with them.
    Yes, they’re smaller and only have 10 games in each,
    but as far as I’m concerned, I love the graphics and game play
    on both….not a day goes by where I’m not wacking around those faux
    Metal balls for at least a half hour….
    The main reason I didn’t consider the AtGames table was the lousy
    games that came with it….and like I said, I’m a plug and play kinda guy.
    This dinosaur doesn’t want to have to learn new tricks…
    and trying to learn how to buy and download new games is not in my game plan..
    I’m sorry to hear about your problems and totally understand your dissatisfaction
    with the AtGames product…also, hearing you talk about how anyone with negative
    comments gets them deleted…well, that’s a real kiss of death for AtGames to me.
    I’m happy that at least your capable of putting together a table of your own…
    And I’m sure you’ll be happy with your results.
    Thanks for your review. 👍🏻😎

    Even though I really like my alp, I'm not going to vote this down... Your issues are more than obvious and understandable, but I suppose I was lucky not having those like with the exciters and you are not treated by the best games that come with it to properly represent the machine.
    Most of the included games are really low effort. But it's not to blame on the hardware, I bought the Zaccaria(by magic pixel) tables and immediately it became 'so much better'! The included games should never have been included. If you want to have a good start, you should simply start with the deluxe tables, they are really good and it's a difference of night and day (seriously).
    Although due to the low effort tables I need to add that I do think you are mistaken that a lot of your isses are hardware related, but actually just bad software. Like I hear you complain about the screen, but I can vouch for that it is all due to the digital tables itself and everything so bright, sharp and clear with those. But if you can not compare it, it's not easy to make that conclusion.

    • @EQOAnostalgia
      @EQOAnostalgia 2 роки тому +1

      Yeah when i get this i'm jumping right into the Zaccaria stuff, getting it downloaded and ready to go. It's stupid the way you get games on this thing and kind of consumer unfriendly but seems like most people just go with a laptop or PC setup. Also a pain in the arse for people who don't know the basics with such things.
      They really do need to offer a better out of box experience.
