Wow, these Legends devices are really interesting! So mich potential for retro gaming with real Arcade feeling. Thanks for showing are these possibilities with this device Jon. I wish they were a bit cheaper. For me this is pit of budget. But nice review, as always Jon :)
It worked really well and the ability to add your own games on a USB drive makes it well-worth the price.. Similar products I've seen don't do nearly as much as this and costs more, require a PC/Pi4, etc. I'm really happy with this purchase. Thank you for watching my friend!
I was able to pick up this device on sale, and it is very enjoyable. I just wanted to compliment you on your videos and guides. They are quite informative and complete.
when gamestop cut the price to 50 bucks, I knew I had to acquire me one!! the built in games are fun for sure (a few I definitely love having on there) but if you can figure out the BYOG stuff on the PC side the sky's almost the limit for adding addtional games! (I think the highest it can do is CPS2 stuff like the D&D games) I do also occasionally set the stick up in MAME and it plays like a dream there too! definitely thinking about getting the pinball upgrade as I have a few pinball fx3 tables on steam so it would be fun to play it that way.
For $50, the Gamer Mini is an incredible value. You can do so much with it, it's great for anyone who loves retro games (in my opinion). Not sure if you're using BYOG exclusively or CoinOpsX, if not using CoinOpsX please see this section of the guide: wagnerstechtalk.com/algm/#CoinOpsX It makes things really nice. There is also a vertical-only version of CoinOpsX here: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsxv/ you may also enjoy (fewer games, but artwork looks better for vertical games). The Pinball button kit is great and makes it nice for playing pinball games. However the button kit is $50. Sometimes you can find it for ~$25 during NOD events (National Owner's Day) which typically occurs in Feb. or Sept.
DOH...i was inserting the USB into the back of the control deck!! Thanks to your video I learned that was a mistake and it plugs into the puck. I forget the puck has the brains and not the control deck.
I think Atgames should take their ALU and add the rotating screen on that. Atgames Legend Mini is to expensive in what your getting but the screen rotating is awesome because a lot of the games that came out a was design for vertical. I will pass on the Mini it doesn't have track ball and spinners in which some of the games require to play. Thanks for your great video.
I wish they made a bit wider with room for the trackball. I have the two player version, but would like something smaller, but with trackball. I use a trackball mouse, but not the same and the two player design is too wide for what I want it for.
Hi Rush, I actually asked AtGames the same thing (for a Gamer Mini with a trackball). They were receptive to the idea, but no such product exists. For a trackball, at present, the only solutions are the Gamer Pro and the Legends Ultimate.
Make sure the internal battery is charged using the included cable first, it may not have enough charge to enter pairing mode. If it still doesn't work, contact AtGames support.
I did the same thing with a power bank and made my mini into a bartop. I used a USB extension cord with an on/off switch so I could turn on the monitor and the Core with one switch. I made a little video about it: I Turned My Legends Gamer Mini into a Battery-Powered Bartop Arcade--NO Wiring Required - TH-cam
Thanks for this Wagner. I hope they decide to make a version for the A1up's like Intec Gaming did with their product for the Switch, although I don't think their price is fully justified unless they included iL/Happ or Sanwa sticks and buttons. I have a feeling that this AtGames product has better sticks and buttons than the Intec, but I haven't heard any direct comparisons as yet. Ideally, I'd like to see an ultimate extended 1 player to add to an A1up that has ability for fighting games (8-btn), a trackball and spinner and tron/flight stick to play almost any genre. I don't know if it's feasible or possible for such an a1up but it would be cool if possible.
Thanks to a resourceful viewer, here's a list of all the controllers that should work on any Legends product: wagnerstechtalk.com/alcontrollers/ This may be helpful to you. It's quite an extensive list imo.
I'm not sure I understand the question. You can create an account and use it on up to 6 devices. However, you can't play the same game packs (i.e. purchased packs) at the same time on two different devices without exiting on one before moving to the other. However, for the stock games on each machine, yes you can run them on two different devices with the same account.
The games play very well, I didn't have any issues with latency. Of course, for the best pinball experience I do prefer playing on the Legends Pinball machine (guide here: wagnerstechtalk.com/alp ). But the Gamer Mini can be picked up cheap at GameStop right now (~$50 USD). If you wind up getting one, I'd recommend a TAITO or Zaccaria volume to start with and see how you like them. They play MUCH better than the Gottlieb tables.
Thank you Barry, unfortunately no the deal for $50 was short-lived. There are some deals coming up at newegg, Amazon and AtGames e-store that you may want to watch for : wagnerstechtalk.com/al-news/#November_Updates
I am doing a little Googling and see possible to purchase at Walmart for $48. It's from a 3rd party company but returnable at Walmart store and extended holiday return, so I may give it a try
If you have a microUSB cable around (for an older cellphone), you can use that to power the machine. They also have a support page here: wagnerstechtalk.com/algm/#Resources , they may be able to ship you the cables that were missing also check the box closely. Sometimes they like to hide.
@@WagnersTechTalk but isn't the "brain" on the legends mini in the control deck and the gamer mini completely outside of its deck in that disk shaped console?
Are you talking about the Blast (this blast.atgames.net/ ) ? If so, no you wouldn't be able to use it with the Gamer Mini as it's not a USB but rather an HDMI output.
I've not tried exactly what you're asking. I was able to connect the mini to the ALU over BT. I presume you can connect more than one mini to a single core in the same way. I only have one Mini so it's not something I can test, but each mini would be paired to a single core and it may work.
Hello, I have this particular unit and have enjoyed it to a point. I managed to do a saucy build with 4.5 using a 128 GB SD card and the USB adapter however I have tried to upgrade to one of a newer saucy additions with a 128 GB thumb drive and my unit seems to disable or damage the thumb drive. I’ve tried this with a few different drives and the result is the same. The 128 GB thumb drive becomes unusable when I plug it into any PC Mac or Linux box afterwards. The legends game or mini does not recognize the USB drive either. Firmware is up-to-date. I am thinking of just returning it for a replacement. I was wondering if you may have any thoughts? AtGames has not been a help as they keep referring to my problem as a third party app issue when I haven’t even employed the driveX feature on these thumb drives.
Hi James, I've not encountered any issues using this method: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx . I actually cloned an existing USB drive I was using on my ALU, then formatted the 1st partition using Flash Drive X and all has been working fine. I'm not sure exactly how your thumb drive is setup, but I've not received any negative feedback on this guide so far. May want to give it a try, you will want to use FDX as mentioned here to download additional tables/apps but it can all be done on a single USB stick. Please give it a try and let me know how it goes. Note - I've performed the same on the ALU, ALP, Gamer Mini and Legends Ultimate Mini.
@@WagnersTechTalk well, that’s the problem. I’ve done one of this successfully once before with the SD card adapter. When I prep the usb with the recommended partitions, all the copying and the AddX tool, when I plug in the usb to the disc, I never get the opportunity to utilize FDX. My AGM doesn’t acknowledge that a usb drive was plugged in. It acknowledges the usb charging cable to the control deck and the SD card to USB adapter but fries all other USB thumb drives. I think I am returning the unit for an exchange. I love what I can do with it, with the SD card adapter but don’t like the destructive streak.
I'm sorry, which menu? If it's the left-side filter/menu, move the joystick down and highlight a game. Then, press the AtGames/Menu button and it will appear. Hope that's the menu you're asking about. If not, let me know please.
Please give me a little more information. What button, power (on the arcade), wireless, menu? Connected wireless to the core or USB cable to a PC? HDMI plugged into the TV/Monitor, correct input selected, plugged in the microUSB cable.. etc.
Try unplugging power to the Core and turn off the control panel for about 15 seconds. Then, power it all back on and follow these steps: wagnerstechtalk.com/algm/#Connect_to_Legends_Gamer_Console Should get you going.
No, that's probably about the only feature I've not seen. However, you can connect two of these together (or to an ALU). I did try connecting it to an ALU as well and it worked very well. Had a 3-player game of Bomberman going (via CoinOpsX).
Centipede isn't included in the Gamer Mini (no trackball), however you could add it using CoinOpsX: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx/ . However, you may be interested in the ALU which you can pick up from Sam's Club which includes Centipede/Millipede, a trackball, x2 spinners, x2 joysticks & buttons. More on the Legends Ultimate here: wagnerstechtalk.com/alu/
Sure, you can connect it to your PC, load it up with games using CoinOpsX (details here: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx/ ). Then, if you want to use the great features of ArcadeNet you can.
overall this game sux but my wife does like to play tetris once a year or so. There were some really good arcade games in the 80's but none of them are on here. These are the crappiest games ever and most I never even seen before, the others I never wasted a quarter on in the 80's. Supposedly you can download game ROMS that you probably don't have but the process to put them on the Legends unit seems really complicated and would have to have a lot of time on your hands to figure it out. There are some games (like pinball) that it lets you download and install, but there is no option to play them. I'll give it a score of 0 out of 10.
There are a number of great classic games pre-installed, such as Burger Time, Bad Dudes, Bubble Bobble, Front Line, Space Invaders, etc. (full game list here: wagnerstechtalk.com/algm/#Manuals ). I can understand CoinOpsX, if it's not something you're familiar with, can be intimidating initially. But, tried to make it as easy as possible with this guide: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx . If you don't like the included games, this machine really shines after adding a USB stick with CoinOpsX. There are places where you can buy the USB stick pre-setup for you, but I've personally never used them. The pinball tables are great, but you would need to purchase a volume pack to install/play them (TAITO Vol 1 or 3 is what I would recommend) and the pinball buttons for a better experience. Given what you've said above, wouldn't recommend that until trying CoinOpsX first. You can connect the Arcade panel to a PC (use as a controller), stream PC games to your living room, play ArcadeNet games, etc. I do hope you give this machine a closer look before you give up on it. You'll get out of it what you put into it -JMHO
@@WagnersTechTalk okay, maybe I will have time to try steps, I had already bookmarked that wagers site. (I have many roms for mame that I downloaded years ago.) But the unit did allow me to download and install the 5 Taito games but they are not on the list of games to play.?
If it allowed you to download/install them (I assume we're talking about Pinball here?), it means you already have a USB stick installed on the machine. If that's the case, then go to the main "Games" tab, move down to select a game (don't press anything yet, just highlight a game). Then, press the AtGames/Menu button, on the left-hand side you'll see a list of favorites, platforms, etc. Move down to Platforms, select the TAITO Volume and press the "A" button. From there, you'll see a filtered list of just those games. Repeat the same process but select "All Games" if you want to see the full list of games again. More details and help here, if needed: wagnerstechtalk.com/algm/#Operation
@@WagnersTechTalk Yes, I have formatted and mounted the USB stick and installed (but I incorrectly said Taito) the zaccorian pinball tables, but to no avail, do not appear in the list of games, under platforms or otherwise. But thank you.
