Head to www.squarespace.com/nostalgia... to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code NOSTALGIANERD....The AtGames Arcade Legends Ultimate arcade machine is a thing. It's a thing of size. It's a thing of MDF. It's a thing of plastic. It's a thing of potential joy. But the question is how much joy? Is this thing any good? Have AtGames actually created something that's decent? Something worth paying £799 for? Perhaps? Perhaps they've known how to do it all along.

Update; A lot of people have rightly asked whether the machine can be used without logging in. Perhaps in the advent that AtGames servers are taken down in the future, etc... So I contacted AtGames and this was their response; "Yes it can totally be used without signing in. You can use the built in games and OTG mode to connect a Pi or PC and play games that way. You only have to log in for online play and services, as well as log in once every 5 times you power on the device to use AddOn X and CoinopsX (COX). As to if the online services go away, I don't know what we could say there. We have no intentions of shutting online capabilities down. We're very online oriented. I guess if we completely had to leave the online world, we'd have a solution that would always be to the benefit of the consumer." My view on this is that, I guess they could potentially remove the Addon/COX modes at their own discretion (if they were hit with a lawsuit for example), even if you opt out of future firmware updates. This would still allow us to plug in a Pi to the HDMI, and use CoinOPs/RetroArch via that route. BUT that's not ideal. Plus, worst case, if the company were to fold, then I *highly* doubt they would make firming up of existing machines a priority. So this is worth bearing in mind if you're looking for a standalone future proof solution. On the flip side. The community is outstanding, and I have little doubt that it would be hacked and restored to former glory in no time. There are some excellent channels that cover the Legends Ultimate; PDubs Arcade Loft - ru-vid.com Restalgia - ru-vid.com/show-UC-rS0donnV8wupjW2Vzrlnw CoolToy - ru-vid.com These are the kind of channels that help form the backbone of the retro community, so be sure to check them out and say "Hello there". If you're in the UK you can grab a cabinet from Liberty Games at nnerd.es/legends, unfortunately, us Brits pay more due to shipping & import charges (it feels like the 90s again). In the US, they're available from several retailers. I'm unsure about the rest of the world. You'll find some other useful links in the description.

On one hand, it's more than the pieces of silicon that make it up. A hypothetical homebrew RasPi solution (probably) doesn't have licensed games, and a bill of materials for the timber, monitor, RasPi etc doesn't include the time and effort you put into making it work. So I don't think "processor X is slower than processor Y" is a useful comparison. On the other hand, I agree the price tag is VERY high, even with all that in mind.

It's not if you want to use the built in games or hook a pi or PC up to it using OTG mode. The login is required for any streaming service, no different than PS or Xbox. If you want to use CoinopsX or AddOn X then you have to login once every 5 power ons.

@TMS5100 3 года назад

Nope.

@Nostalgianerd 3 года назад

Yes, it initially makes you login as its supposed to be a "connected arcade". After my initial login, it hasn't asked me to login again. Apparently, it makes you login again if you use the build in AddOnX tool after 5 attempts, but that's not something I've really used. I've heard that if AtGames ever bring down their login services, you'll be able to bypass, but it's definitely a risk/concern in any case.

Wow, the price on this is crazy high in your neck of the woods. In the US, this typically goes for $500-$600 (~£359-£431 when directly converted), depending on where you get it from, what's included, and if it's on sale or not. For the US price, I'd say it's a good deal, especially if you connect a PC, Raspberry Pi, or MiSTER up to it. I also looked into how much it would cost to put one together by buying the parts myself, and as someone who isn't a woodworker, the cheapest solutions with good components would cost just as much if not more than one of these at the US MSRP. And those DIY solutions wouldn't even have the spinners and trackball like this does!

I feel quite lucky with mine. Here in Spain, for 500 euros including delivery. I got a full sized arcade cabinet, with CRT old school screen. The cabinet is an original old games cab from what looks like the early 90s. It looks a little worn but thats all part of it! Its got coin slot (though that bit isnt functioning). Its got new buttons, and a "insert coin button". I had to fix some wiring and put a new bulb in for the marquee above. Its driven by a JAMMA pandoras box 4s with 999 games. A simple games selection menu. It doesnt connect online so dont need to register any accounts etc. It feels as authentic as it gets. I love it! Its got some classics, but missing a few would nice to haves. But the ROMs are hard coded so i dont think i can change them. (at least i dont know how to). It has one single speaker which I have wired a volume control to. I think i got a good deal. I know these pandoras box's arent using licensed ROMs though.

I ended up buying a Mortal Kombat table to have something a little different, then got Street Fighter 2 and Terminator 2 and I have a Dig Dug Machine on the way. I'm running out of space unless I make some changes in that room. I may end up getting this all in one game as well. Not sure yet. I still like the idea of several arcade games where people can play the game of choice. If you only have on unit, people end up standing around watching one guy play or taking turns. It's also nice to have the T2 stand alone machine or to walk up and play Pacman and Galaga without having to let the machine power up 10min and sort through so many games. I can see having it as a part of the collection though.

Easiest to understand review I’ve seen on Legend Ultimate. Just subscribed. One thing that’s still unclear and missing from this review...isn’t the main point of the “on the go” feature to be able to hook up a pc via hdmi and to stream games from things like stream or more power hungry modern arcade game emulators like teknoparrot running in that pc? I don’t even think you need to use the USB port, but I’m not sure.

@Xaltar_ 2 года назад

You could plug in your PS or Xbox with an HDMI cable as well as the USB link cable and play whatever you want using the cab controller and display, am I wrong? If so, then when you treat is as an arcade control board + display it isn't actually that expensive. A decent arcade joystick/controller board with a decent IPS 24" display will already run you about half the cost of this thing, then add the built in emulation hardware, cabinet and features and it's actually pretty reasonable for what it is. IMO they should make a separate model that is just that, a display and controller cabinet that you can fit your own system inside, be it a console, Pi or a PC with emulation software etc. That would probably sell really well, particularly if you can swap out the controllers with other modular ones.

@EposVox 3 года назад

Good review!

@deathstrike 3 года назад

I really like the review of this cabinet and I wished I had had this cabinet instead of its ugly stepchild (don't scream) Arcade 1UP. If you just have to have an arcade cabinet, or lack the technical or building skills to make one, than this is a solid choice for people looking for that nostalgia experience. But with that being said, I and many others have taken those red headed stepchildren and supercharged them with old PC's (I3/I5/Raspberry Pi) and THAT is where concepts like this shine!!! An old PC, copy of MAME and a Maximus front-end and you got a beast that can do anything you want. Plus the benefit of not needing "patching" unless you change MAME versions. But in that case, you can either use good tools to patch, or use different versions of MAME that work fine. And this is NOT a debate over piracy as many of us own PC and console rom compilations and arcade machines. Look, a hand made machine is legal as you get as long as you don't sell the machine with Roms. If you make money with this, yes it is wrong but the vast majority of "rom users" have no intention of making profit, we just love retro gaming and companies don't have rom compilations to just sell. So while this is a good attempt at selling a quasi legal classic games machine, it's hardware is just like Arcade 1UP's and both at least competently run games, the @tgames is the better choice both in build quality, and options. And for what you are getting, you are at least getting an arcade game you do not have to spend a huge amount of effort setting up. So a good retro cabinet for the first time retro gamer. And a good choice for even more seasoned retro gamers or home arcade owners.

I would def use one of these, but the $800 and assembly and all the steps to get things working the way you want.. plus no driving wheel is tough but it’s good you can plug one in, and playing console games with an arcade joystick seems rough so maybe plugging in a controller for some games? It’s tempting but I dnno.. Maybe if I had a spare grand to spare on stuff, but who has that these days besides people not affected by the pandemic? Edit: ok the light gun plus a sensor on an arcade cabinet seems really intriguing.. point blank or other games like a real arcade would be so much fun. I hope there’s a way to attach better speakers too, just in case. It seems like there’s a lot of customization with this thing, and that’s what I like.

As far as multicade machines go that's not excessive. I paid £700 some years ago for a full-size two player multicade machine which had one of those 60-in-1 arcade boards. At that time there simply weren't that many of those types of machines out there. I eventually spent another £200 or so upgrading the buttons and sticks and replacing the board with an old spare PC running MAME, which made it a much better machine. The TN monitor isn't amazing compared to modern IPS displays, but it's good enough. I've also added a separate USB trackball and a Spinner as add-on controllers I can use for other games. I've also imported at great expense an Arcade 1-Up Star Wars machine as can't get them in the UK (Star wars is my favorite arcade game). That's one thing a multicade can't really do, as you need the yoke controller, which just won't easily fit onto a multicade panel, so there is a place for certain Arcade 1Up machines.

Atgames Ultimate Legends is All I need. I bought 1.0 and 1.1. I just need to add some custom graphics. Gotta get the new CoinopsX. Over 1600 arcade games. Now that is awesome. Thanks to all the people who worked on this build.

I've had mine for nearly a year. I run everything through a PC. Othere people use raspberry pi. I changed the sticks and buttons to my liking, and it was really easy. I don't regret it one bit. It's way better than any of those arcade 1up systems and not that much more expensive.

I've been looking for a cabinet with pre-loaded games like this - mainly because I don't want to spend a couple weekends in building one and end up spending about what this costs in parts (right now at least) - I have one on order due to arrive next week - I'm guessing I'll upgrade at least some of the controls with better stuff but we'll see.

@coreyharrell9079 Год назад

Samsclub has them for 469.99 shipped today, membership is basically free, cause they give you the money back.

@philstraintravels9281 3 года назад

That does look very very nice and I have to admit I would like one... Justifying the price is another thing but as I'm useless at getting emulation and PIs to work correctly I suppose one could save a lot of hassle and wasted time.

@xofcenter5576 3 года назад

I consider the “rich” cabinet options to be more like what Prime Arcades and similar companies produce. Those are upwards of $4K USD with custom art, but people seem to love them.

16:34 the sound of the year 2020 level of technology. It would be nice if there was a way to upgrade the part of the hardware that causes the lag. I dream of the day when we can just simply plug in a device that increases speed and allow us to attach hubs to plug more in, like a USB hub for processor cores. I know. I understand that the millimeter or nanometer length that a processors data has to travel, has a huge impact on speed, and so adding plug-in hardware, especially on an extension cord that goes to a hub, would drastically reduce the speed, possibly even making it slower than without it. However, it's still a dream of mine. I just hate getting something I feel is near-perfect and just needs a little more power and after the big purchase, maybe months or years later, it would be nice to be able to make a purchase to add enough speed or storage to finally have the perfect item. . In reality, you usually are stuck with what you have or incredibly limited to what you can do. Even a desktop computer, can only be upgraded so far, until the motherboard no longer supports new hardware, requiring you to buy a new one, usually along with a new processor/fan/RAM, which is almost a completely new computer (sometimes even a new case is required).

@stephenelliott7071 3 года назад

Quite a nice looking cabinet and bigger than the 1-Up versions, you can't beat the real deal or at least a close approximation of a full sized arcade cabinet. But a Raspberry Pi 4/400 is a faster (and more widely supported software-wise) than the SoC supplied. The software setup currently seems convoluted and you are tied into their ecosystem when adding games.

@spacecowboyfpv5511 3 года назад

LMAO. They are CRUSHING it. This product is over a year old and they have sold 100's of thousands of them already. They just did a reservation for their new pinball machine and it got got over 2000 reservations in 3 hours... at $700 a piece... lol. Multimillion dollar "obsolete" company doesn't need your pity bud. Don't feel bad

@GantryG 3 года назад

Ouch, in the States the retail price is $600 USD, which is ... 445 GBP today. And realistically I would buy it at one store that sells it for $500 with included bonus pinball buttons on the side. Quite a different value proposition at half the price...

@harrisonsmetana2506 3 года назад

This is crazy isn’t it cheaper to just stalk neo geo cartridges and build a cabinet with a real crt to get the true experience?

@OnlyEpicEmber 3 года назад

One Neo Geo cart could be more expensive than this entire cabinet so no, not really

@andrewbutler9533 3 года назад

Pleasantly surprised that it's decent. For me, I wish it had a 4:3 screen, perhaps like the ones in the 1 Up cabinets, but a bit bigger.

@BrianSPaskin 3 года назад

That is cheaper than on the continent. I bought mine from France to ship to Italy before Italy had distribution. It is €899 + shipping. I love it. I even got my wife to play a little. I added a few with coinopsx.

@john_unforsaken 3 года назад

I don't think it was expensive for the hardware and features. I have built a full sized cab and a Bartop machine, and cost wise this stacks up nicely without issues of getting everything working well.

I see this and the One Ups at the store, and honestly they do look appealing. I think ill be better off building or buying a custom build cabinet and installing my own screen and RPI. Retropie seems all around better.

@blackhatfreak 2 года назад

Use MDF or poplar wood to make it since it's cheap sturdy wood for arcade machines. Plans are super easy to find on the interwebs too so all you really need is like a 3 day weekend to get it done.

@Dark.Shingo 3 года назад

The only "but" I have is the lack of power for more advanced games. Wonder if there's any chance to upgrade the system somehow.

@crunchyfrog555 3 года назад

I've toyed around with arcade stuff, and I have my own pinball machine too. Currently I have a Pandora's Box I've converted, as it's easier for me with space. I wouldn't mind something like this all in one solution (or I would have if this was a few years ago), but at that price, not a chance. They're having a laugh.

Yeah you could get small used computer with a quad core, put a cheap AMD R7 2GB GPU in it with at least 8GB of system RAM, and run retro arch for emulation, and steam for Linux for some lightweight games.

I used to play the AtGames genesis when it first came out and I loved the selection of games they had on it. But of course the sound was a deeper pitch than normal so it sucked audio wise and the controllers were so hard to get to work because of the IR. Other than that it was good though. I just bought the Atari 150 games collection for the Switch and had no idea it was AtGames. They included some 5200 Atari games along with Arcade and 2600 so I'm happy. Atgames still rules!

Hi. Just found your channel while reserching this cabinet. I am not a gamer as such and hate new modern games. But do love the old ones. And am thinking the unit would luke good in my man cave. I am gratfull that you talked about weather the unit would work without a internet connection or not as I will proberly not bother with connecting it up. I did origanally look at the games coffie table on Liberty Games web site. I read that all the games have to be streemed from there web site and the unit does not come with any games. I was worried that if anything happens to Liberty Games that lets say in 10 years time if the web site goes down then the table whould be usuless. I put this to Liberty Games. They did not get back to which makes me think that I was correct. So this will be the unit for me I think. Thank You very much for the review.

Well, the arcade Tempest had a vertically aligned monitor. So, fitting it onto a horizontal monitor format WILL squash it.

@ClentonClarion 3 года назад

I've had the ALU for a year now and play it more than my PS4. Street Fighter V and other Steam games run great via OTG. Without a pc you can run whatever mame game, nes, snes, genesis you want with just a usb stick. I'd buy another one if I could but that money is already reserved for their vpin cab.
