Great video Glen! Great progress and great job working with Stefan! I have my Tron in my ALU, I have a 4 kit ordered from Stefan and can’t wait to get them and can’t wait till the switcher is ready for the Tron stick so I can get it as well!! Oh and I definitely want the ALU trackball, that looks amazing!!
I have these in my cocktail table. They are called ServoStick by Ultimarc and I have them on both my Sanwa's. I also have it programmed that the 4/8 way gate switches automatically depending on what game loads, no button needed.
Same for this: There are already software packages for Windows and Raspberry Pi available that automate the setting based on selected game (Windows LaunchBox and Raspberry Pi with Retropie/Emulationstation). In addition to that, the player can over rule the automation whenever needed manually (which the Ultimarc can not ;-) ) Further details: cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/47/be/23/57/32/tos428_automation.pdf
I'd also like to add that the automation is per game not a level in the game so the ability to not be able to switch between 4 and 8 as needed is an issue for a game like tron
I need this for my AtGames Ultimate 1.0 cabinet. I added the Tron joystick to it a month ago. I bought the Tron joy stick during first owners day back in 2020 but never got around to installing it until just recently. I need this and the Starwars yoke.
Sold.. I would pre order it right now if that was an option.. It is clearly a god send for Tron, but what it really does is let people play Zaxxon, Satans Hollow, Gorf and whatever other joystick games however that game was meant to be played, which is brilliant..
This is just amazing! Will you add an aditional pattern of your control panel to incorporate the new button? I think I may try building my own tron cab based on your setup once all that stuff is available for purchase. Thanks for all your work!
just finished watching the entire video. There's so many potential applications for this device. I'd love to have 2 for my ALU.I hope you sell multiple versions of this device. Easy plug and play for ALU would actually be my first (two) purchases of this. This is very impressive engineering/thinking! Thanks! Can't wait.
Can't wait to retrofit my Tron joystick! As well as my other mods. I know Stefan's been backordered for a while. So stoked on this! Quick question... Did you mod a space invaders into your Star Wars / racing cab? Would love a couple details on your yoke mounting plate :)
Actually it was a arcade went up asteroids that I converted into the Star Wars racing cab the mounting plate was from 99 lives arcade you can also find some 3D printed ones on thingiverse but 99 lives does a really nice job
@@GlensRetroShow Thanks man! I lucked into one of your full kickstarter kits recently for my Tron project and definitely want to make a SW/racing cab using your yoke, but don't necessarily need it in a 1up SW cab. :)
You will definetly want some kind of visual indication of the actual status as you cant see inside the closed control panel. The button is designed to change the color for indication.
Awesome Idea Glen! now I may not need to build 2 cabs, a 4 way and an 8 way. Would this switcher work on all joysticks? or just the Tron one? Also, which of your spinners are better? is the button hole spinner the best quality spinner? or are you coming out with an new spinner?
Well this design will work on all the joysticks that we sell Tron or otherwise I'm sure it can be retrofitted to other controllers especially Sanwa clones I would say going forward if you're doing your own build the USB buttonhole spinner is better just because you don't need any interface boards to be USB
@@GlensRetroShow Thanks for the prompt replies Glen. Your products are amazing, I already bought the Yoke on kickstarter. Now I need a good spinner for a new cabinet to play Arkanoid, etc. I will buy the button hole one you mentioned. Keep up the great work! What other joysticks do you offer? and are you selling arcade buttons yet?
Glen, is the Tron stick available yet for the Legends Ultimate and how does the LED light and fire button connect? Do you lose functionality of one of the buttons on the control panel?
Glen do you know if this would work with the existing joystick in the MVSX Neo Geo? I haven't opened mine up yet so I am not sure what kind of joystick is in there even.
Hey Glenn, where can i get ALU 1.1 wire kit from for the Tron Stick I have the 1.0 version stick but want to put into my 1.1, it is the same stick, just new harness??
when will this be available and where can we get this? Thanks. Will definitly help playing Tron. I know what you mean by the squiggly lines with the 8 way using light cycles. It's tough!
There also exists a version for Sanwa compatible joysticks: Both are utalizing the same set of microcontroller and firmware and are just drop in replacements: see short demo th-cam.com/video/xkZeSAqKEXo/w-d-xo.html
I just got this and it keep constantly auto switch itself back and forth. I tried 3 diff 5v plug and it does the same thing...wtf. It has a mind of its own.
This is so much needed. Glad to see you are doing it . excellent !

OMG. That's genius. Everyone is going to totally get this for their multi-game arcade system.
I'm going to definitely get this. Glen, you are The Man with The Plan!
Thanks my friend 🙂🙂🙂

@@GlensRetroShow Thanks Glen! Will this work with any joystick that uses gates? or just the Tron one?
Do you have an approximate price or range? estimated availability?
Always been a fan of Stefan's product. We all want them on our ALUs. Can't wait to have you mass produce them along with the new trackball!
This is Awesome Glen! Definitely looking forward to this upgrade, I appreciate all you do for the community.
Glenn's Record Show is my favorite!!!!!
I do gold the most records for gaming losses lol
I can’t wait for the Tron stick. I hope they don’t run out on Amazon once available!

Can't wait for this and the tron stick to come back in stock. I need that stick in my ALU!
Very soon ☺️

Hi Glen. Love your products. FYI, you said the other games (besides the lightcycles) were 8-way. However, the tank game is 4-way as well.
That is ridiculously cool! Nicely done!
Thanks guys ☺️
Can't wait to be able to order that sweet looking Trackball. I'm hoping that the switcher will be compatible with the ALU GRS Tron stick as well.
Yes it will work with the ALU tron
@@GlensRetroShow Awesome news. Thanks for all your hard work.
Great news sir. You will be getting my money for sure
Thanks for the great support M B T G G
I’m in for one of these, for sure! Thanks so much!
Game changer! Amazing stuff as always. Keep up the great work.
Love it! Great upgrade for sure.
I want to get a lit marquee for my 12 in 1 arcade 1up that had centipede and the like. Where should I go Glen?
This Ability upgrades

Great video! Will you be releasing more GRS Tron sticks? I need one for my ALU cabinet
Yes I should be back on Amazon in under 30 days
Genius. Pac man is a MUST with 4 way so you dont get hung up in a corner in a tense moment cause of a dead zone diagnol accident
If it's made with an adapter for the ALU I'll buy two. Would be great for the joysticks you switch out
Yes it will work in the ALU

It might be better to have a toggle switch instead of a push button, you could mount it underneath the ALU or on your 1up on the little slider panel
There are some button options possible..this was just the prototype

Glen fantastic item any chance of doing this with a wireless remote so we don't have to use a physical button?
There ..are some ideas.. maybe a touch sensor
@@GlensRetroShow cool, I'm thinking for the sanwa clone model as I like that for my iiRcade and my MVSX cabs, without having to cut holes or modify.

Not 100% but if it's a sanwa clone it's possible
Hey Glenn, where can i get ALU 1.1 wire kit from for the Tron Stick I have the 1.0 version stick but want to put into my 1.1, it is the same stick, just new harness??
Will you be doing another production run of the stick itself?
Yes we will continue to make more
when will this be available and where can we get this? Thanks. Will definitly help playing Tron. I know what you mean by the squiggly lines with the 8 way using light cycles. It's tough!
Is this product available for sale? That is awesome!!
Mount the button on side of cab!
Aren't the tanks 4 way also? Wouldn't make sense to have diagonals for them.
You could yes,
i would like pass order grs tron to my ALU v1.1 but there is no product on amazon !!
The new tron kit should be on Amazon in 30 days or less :-)
@@GlensRetroShow Hi ! It is a very good news ! Thanks for The precious information 😉👌👍
When is the all in one 4 to 8 way coming out for the sanwa joysticks thank you
Has there been any progress on this, I would love to get some of these for my arcade cab's?
Love it!
Your making Dreams possible

Any update on availability of these yet? Thanks!
Any word on a Zaxxon Arcade 1Up and an official GRS Zaxxon Flight Stick

But be a great unit
Will the Tron joystick be available in summer as well?
The new tron stick should be on Amazon in 30 days
What’s the latest on this restrictor? March-2022!!!! I need one or two fast please.
Will you be able to use this switcher on a standard joystick?
There also exists a version for Sanwa compatible joysticks:
Both are utalizing the same set of microcontroller and firmware and are just drop in replacements:
