- In this quick Livestream, we MOD the Legends Ultimate Arcade by AtGames. This Mod will allow you to continue to use the AtGames system as well as leverage a RaspberryPi for new games.
Note: Please proceed with caution if you decide to do this to your system. You do run the risk of damaging the wiring if you choose to do this to your system. You also need to be aware that because I'm piggybacking on the controls, it has some caveats. The AtGames system will NOT sense the inputs when you're running on the Pi HDMI input. However, if you leave the Pi powered on when using the AtGames System, it will be moving the menu system and registering your inputs. In the more detailed video, I plan to have an option to safe power up and power down the Pi when you plan to use it. Remember that this is what I'm calling a brute force MOD, it's simple, but it's far from perfect. I hope you enjoy and please leave a comment below if you have any questions. I will get to your comments as quickly as I can. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel, it's much appreciated.

What's that little box you used to ground called?
@@retror.d.1630 Those are quick connects. I have purchased them myself at Lowes or Home Depot in the electronics section. They come in packs of 10 or 50 I thin and vary between 2 and 5 connections.
Are you gonna put up the full tutorial video. I've been fighting the Bluetooth battle unsuccessfully and really want to do this instead.
Can you show another video on how exactly how to wire the atgames controller to uhb and what encoder board to use. or can you post or send a diagram of the wiring.
Another guy and I were talking about the way you did this. This is still the best way to connect a pi! We think this is actually better than using the Bluetooth option available now. You were ahead of your time my friend.
Thanks bud, It’s for sure more reliable than the Bluetooth option. I have been trying to figure out how to hack the PCB to get the CP to connect via USB. I have tried a few things without success, I just don’t want to break it!
Still running my SF2 cab with the same Wolfanoz image. It’s really hard to beat that image with all the great games it has. That is awesome you are able to do that with this cabinet!
Thanks bud, it’s one of my favorite builds as a straight Arcade build. I figured it would work well here since the arcade game lineup is a bit weak. Thanks again for watching!
This has now sold me. My PC is going in and GT Fore can be played on track ball!!
How will you get your pc in and controls mapped? I have a working pc with hyperspin for the front end and would like to use that since it is all set up I just need to know how to use these controls? Right now I'm using an xarcade tankstick controller. TIA
Dude, you are insane! (In a good way) You've had this thing what - 3 days? And you already have a Pi working with it?! I can't believe it. That is awesome - I cant wait to see the full video 👍
Retroralph, you did it again! Thanks for showing us this mod and these tap connectors, thinking about connecting two arcade1up for 4 players gaming!
Wolfanoz is the man, love his images, it’s been going strong on my GRS bar-top for a while now
Chris G. Are you Wolfanoz ?
Hats off to you sir, thank you for all your hard work! 👍🏼
That didn't take long for you to mod this cabinet😭 good job!
That’s how dad did it, that’s how America does it and it’s worked out pretty good so far
Hell Yeah!!!! I LOVE IT!!!
I just got same exact keyboard mouse combo last week for my diy arcade it’s pretty legit 👌🏾
Ralph, you definitely are a dedicated mod guru. I love this channel.. formerly Jon Woke, btw.. 🤓😜
Did you decide not to shoot the tutorial video for this or did I just miss it? I'm still thinking of going this route to connect my PC with CoinOps Next to the control panel. Thanks!!
Depending on what one wants, I think something like an Alphacade is probably sill a better option, but it's nice to see there's going to be some options to salvage this cab and free it from AtGames' oppressive subscription model.
You just made this arcade machine worth purchasing lol👍
Not really . Only 1% of peole would be able to mod this thing
Yup. Picking up mine tomorrow morning.
Wow, thanks man. Looking forward to your next video.
Awesome! Great Job looking forward to the full video.
omg i could have use those t tap connectors for my arcade 1 ups. Thanks for reminding me!
I don’t know why I didn’t think to use these in the past. 🤦🏻♂️. Thanks for watching man!
Does the Atgames stop taking input commands from the sticks when you switch to the pie and vis versa? It would suck if your playing a game and mess something up on the other system.
No, I actually talk about that in this video: th-cam.com/video/YcMNo-zZ0-4/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching by the way! You may want to watch this video first and then the one I sent you above: th-cam.com/video/iZeDo0Z-SLg/w-d-xo.html
Great Video, I'm looking forward to your more in depth version. Thanks for sharing this information.
I need an honest opinion, this or a modded arcade1up? I pre ordered the special edition marvel cab, but now I'm considering cancelling it and doing this. What do you prefer?
I second that question
Hey bro. could you do this method with the arcade 1 up pcb board setup? the ability to go back and forth from the pie to the pcb original would be kool.
What is the little box you used to ground your controller? Can anyone tell me?
because you just tapped into the controls lines, does that mean you are actually controlling 2 systems at the same time even if your not looking at the second system atm? say your scrolling and clicking buttons on the pi input, are you still scrolling and clicking buttons on the atgames side to in the background?
I was going to ask the same. If there is no isolation of the controls when one HDMI input is selected vs. the other (and I don’t see how there is here), each input would be seen by each system. So as you’re playing a game on one, you’re doing who knows what (starting another game, digging into a settings menu, whatever) on the other. This probably “works” but it’s pretty janky.
@@BobMcCouch yeah but if you are concerned about that, just disconnect it from the internet first.
If you’re using the pi, it does NOT move the menu system on the AtGames system. Remember that the system was built to be able to use other HDMI inputs. One of these is the AtGames blast system. It does however move the menu on the pi if you’re on the AtGames system. This is something I will cover in the full video. I was thinking of having a way of powering down the pi when it’s not in use. This is a day Zero mod so it’s not perfect but it’s the only way right now to play arcade games on the cabinet without paying for one of their services to gain access to the games you want or already own.

Does the atGames have the functionality to usb the control panell to a PC ;and HDMi to the main screen?
Where can one buy those splicers? Might do this to my pandoras box which I've previously gutten and threw a pi into. This could be a cool mod to keep the pandora functionality.
Nice mod, Ralph! Not surprised lol.
So does this mean that instead of a pi, we can hook up a PC to the Atgames arcade, or has that not been discovered yet?
Also, do we have the option to use/add our own buttons and joysticks to the control deck?
Apologies if all this is already mentioned, I kind of skipped through the video since I have lots to look at! XD
Hey. Love your channel. Can I have your opinion on a issue with my head to head street fighter table. It looks like the screen on some of the games, doesn’t go to the edge of the screen. Upon looking at your footage from E3, this looks wrong on my table. Anyway I can send you a pic of my issue?
If you have the pinball buttons, could you use them for a select button for player 2?
This makes me want to get one now. Is the quality as good nor better than the Arcade 1ups? I have a couple of those but don't want to mod them
Could you mod it so you can use the button layout for Xbox one,ps4,ect arcade games?
Jug-A-Nuts you definitely could but you would need to get a Brooke encoder board to change over the controls or something comparable to a Brooke. Then you can switch from console controls to arcade. You start getting into some big $ doing that though. Last I saw the one Brooke encoder was like $89. Imo it’s only good to do it for fighting games or games that only use a few buttons.
Can you do this with an arcade1up? (Have a pi and stock)
Hey Ralph, about you guys finding that backdoor in your update....................make a complete mirrored backup asap if you havent! That hole could be patched at any given time by an AtGames update. You might need this to further your hacking. Good goin on the diggin! Attaboy!
So when you switched from the Pi to the other interface the Pi was at the menu on an Ice Hockey game, then when you switched back (after moving the joystick around a bit) the Pi was on a different selection. So you’re just switching the input while both systems are still using the control deck simultaneously? Is there any chance that could cause some weird stuff to happen if you’re playing a game in one system, meanwhile your button presses are navigating and making random selections in the other system?
David G See my pinned comment for more details on this.
is there a way to do this but using a full pc and use controls and screen?
Curious Sam's Club now has Atgames Flashback Deluxe w/100 games plus 10 bonus will you be doing a review on that? Also they have Atari 2600 Flashback Deluxe w/100 games plus 10 bonus.
I forgot about your Joe szabo street fighter Alu. You actually had 2 of the Alu’s. Haha.
Did you ever pick your son up at soccer practice? Rumor has it, He’s still waiting for you.!!!
@@randyiron2 he’s for sure still waiting 🤣
@@RetroRalph haha!!
Do you have a diagram of this wiring where is the video of how to wire this up
does the PI run full screen or just in that little window view?
Does the Pc that it comes with have the ability to run higher end graphic games like n64/game cube /wii /xbox one?
You think i could use my NUC with hyperspin ?
Im curious what your thoughts are, remove there PCB entirely, install a Micro Motherboard in its place (unsure on size, it looks as if one would fit?) to connect and run OS (could just keep Windows as they did), remove all of there crap games and interface maybe use Launchbox while still keeping Steam possiblities (no need to have ugly cables on exterior of cab either). I think this may be a simpler step and would lead to a better end result. Curious on your thoughts. Nice first step, enjoying your channel since the beginning keep up the good work.
Thinking the same for mine. I am curious how the HDMI input connections work - are they routed through the PCB or are they acting as a remote input source directly into the LCD controller board? I think these might be the "killer app" for this machine allowing Chromecasts, blast modules, mini consoles, and even PC sticks to run on this.
Thanks for the helpful info and video keep up the good work
Nice video, I wanna do this. Can you give me the video for doing the encoder board of the Rasberry Pi. Also, tell me parts you purchased to create everything and setup just like you have.
which encoder did you use? add that to your links maybe
Can you use the spinners and trackball with the Pie?
Very nice piggyback work. Maybe someone will make a y connector at the base board soon.
100% sold now!!
Picking up mine tomorrow morning.
Do these retropies and stuff come preloaded with games or do I have to be a computer guru and do it myself?
No games are included. ..you use Google.
I had zero experience with Linux, pi, etc and I figured it out. Don't buy a preloaded card. There are entire images you can download and flash directly into an sd card which you throw into a pi
Ben Peterson, images?
Ok this thing is awesome for the price. Thanks for showing how easy it could be to add a pi.
Aesthetically it is actually a very nice looking, full size cab (add a 2" riser if its a bit short). The Tron bezel is done really well and the control panel seems laid out well and not bad looking. When sliding in the front bottom panel, i would put in in backwards to get rid of that ugly game list nonsense, and also very easy to replace the marquee with something better, too... now how the hell will i get one in Canada. They emailed me and said they are still looking into options for Canada retail:(
Is it possible to but this done by you, but for me?
Any links to where to pre-order?
It’s available now at Sam’s Club. 👍🏻
Keyboard no working anymore. Help.
Ok brother NOW we are talkin!
They now allow side-loading of MAME titles, correct? Therefore this won't be needed.
Correct but they don't have support for as many emulator cores as the Pi does, so you may still want to add a Pi to it. They do have the ability to act as a Bluetooth controller to the Pi but this method would still be the most reliable. Just remember to shut off the Pi when it's not in use.
Great job!
They have right angle adapters to clean up usb and hdmi, a simple fix
Still thinking why should I pay them $500 for a machine that’s not ready to be released? Man, I wish A1Up would make a competing machine.....
If you get the Sam's Club bundle, it has the blast dongle with more games than the Arcade1Up cocktail tables or uprights (except maybe the 12-in-1). The AtGames unit looks like it could be a modders paradise.
@@benjaminapeterson it says out of stock at my club? Should I order online?
@@alfredocatano1023 Call your local Sam's Club. I've read a lot of people went to their local stores after showing out of stock and,they had a couple there.
@@subversive1219 I order mine online before they sold out. Have a review on my channel too! So happy with it.
Great idea.
Thanks bud!
how to get the machine in Canada?
You can Bluetooth now, no need for all the hand wiring;)
So ur spending $500 to use a pi3 for the games and not ATGames? That's like paying $500 for the cab and art work. They don't even sell the wires as a kit with the spice head on it.
Most people just want the cabinet to put their own stuff. Remember arcade1up only comes with very few games
@Dreamstate Arcade1Ups don't go on sale around my area. I had to pay $299 for SFII back in May. And another $100 for modding components. And I had to pay another $399 for my 12-in-1 to play trackball and spinner games. This can give me all that with a better monitor and cab for $200 less. I'm sold... In fact picking up mine on Wednesday morning
Nice.
ashame there is not just a quick way of getting the controls output to the input via a simple usb
There probably is a way. The Blast modules that come with the system are able to map controls through usb. I expect someone out there just needs to figure out how to trick the OS into thinking it's receiving input controls from a Blast stick rather than a Pi. This is not something I have any ability to attempt or do.
full video please
Nice trick !!!
Great system
Wolfenose?
And now go and build a diy Multi Cab with that quality for the price... right! You can't! This is why I love this already. Bye Bye... Arcade Kiddy 1up.
That's a bit harsh. Arcade1Up has its benefits. But for an inexpensive multicade solution, this is a great first showing. The monitor itself is worth $175.
@@benjaminapeterson Yes, I am sorry, you are right. I changed my words. BUT I think 1up is too small overall and uses cheap quality hardware. People mod it to make it good and spend even more money. I know ATgames has a bad reputation but the UL Cab seems to have the right size with great build quality and many control options for ~100 Bucks more than the competition and the people still complaining !?WTF!
Jesus!! 28,000 views!!
well brute voice the end im tired of trying bluetooth
i just wannt 2 c hardwire
I actually think this is still the best option. Only thing I would add is a power switch to shut the pi down when it's not in use. Thanks for watching!
@@RetroRalph could ypu do a idiot proof bluetooth video with both players
Those are called T taps
Lol couldnt help yourself could you ralph. Had to get modding
You know me dude, nothing can be stock... LOL!!!
Show me the GAMES
Joystick hack maybe nothing more
you ever hear of otg mode bro lol?
😂 Yeah, It didn't exist at this time, this video is old as hell. It's when the ALU first came out and they were doing new firmware releases practically multiple times a day. 😂
@@RetroRalph I got you.
I forgot about your Joe szabo street fighter Alu. You actually had 2 of the Alu’s. Haha.
