I have the 1.0 version that I bought from Walmart. I also had it shipped. Everything was perfect. I spent perhaps 30 minutes putting it together and there was a slight wobble that was fixed with a piece of cardboard under one of the corners (it can't be seen once it's in place).
I do know that your bezel/screen should not be moving around like that. And I also know that these are in high demand and thus hard to find. But I would be tempted to return it considering the condition it was in when it was received.
Someone was in a bad mood either when they were assembling it, shipping it, or both.
I got one from Sam’s Club for Christmas and it’s THE most popular thing right now in my house. From my kids as young as 8 to my wife, everyone loves it and it came super solid with no issues. I imagine someone ordered the one you got, online and decided to return it to the store.
I bet you got a cabinet that someone returned. The fact it was missing stuff and the parts were open ... sounds like Sams Club shenanigans.
I just bought from Sam's club tonight and had absolutely no issue whatsoever it's awesome
Sorry for your experience, I have a version 1.0 and didn’t have any issues. I love mine and all that it can do. Hopefully after playing it some more you’ll like it better.
I built my own machine.
Was so nice, I had people request machines afterwards. I sold ten afterwards. They take a month to build in my spare time..
No MDF or cheap materials...all birch 3/4" plywood, oak braces and aluminum. Happ controls with cherry microswitches, 1/4" tempered glass screen protector, 200 watt Subwoofer with Stereo 6.5" Speakers hidden in top (also doubles as a jukebox with a 5tb HD full of music, damn near every song written since the 40's, with full graphic UI to add more songs (or videos) via network) When not in use, works as an alexa show. Total machine is covered in black formica, and then the graphics are applied. You can pour a bucket of beer on it, and continue playing. Will last forever. no warping, peeling, nothing. Has diamond-plate kick plate at your feet. I was a custom audio guy for years, so my workmanship is top notch. overbuilt? hell yes. But hey I built it for myself with no intention on building another.. after 11 machines, I'm done.
Where can I get one?
Man if you ever decide to build again please let me know! I would love to grab one from you!
That sucks that you had a less-than-perfect experience. I have a generation 1 ALU and it's been amazing since day one. Mine came in perfect condition and hasn't given me any trouble at all. The BYOG feature to play ROMs was the main selling point to me initially, but I've been finding myself playing the classic arcade titles that came packaged in more and more. I hope you stick with AtGames and give them another shot.
The reason for the $1 an hour charge is because it’s “streaming” off of a computer in the “cloud” and not stored on the machine itself, but you can do that from a PC and there is no charge.
The cabinet looks awesome. You def got a returned item.
Seems like they dropped the box while delivering. Mine was nicely packaged and had no problems. Bottom right corner of the screen does seem to detach from the screen every now and then
Thanks for the review!
Just purchased mine last week. It came out perfect. Well built. Cabinet aligned perfectly.
Can you play online
Don Kiko : Yes, I saw on the reviews that you can. I don’t plan on doing it tho
@@jaimemontaner3801do you still have it or use it?
Dang man, sorry to hear about yiur experience. I love mine.
Well at least you found the ports to plug in your own games. That was a good spot on the video. Im glad you kinda ended up liking your system.
I have version 1 and had no problems with it. I actually love it and I have 7 arcade 1up machines the only one I play is Star Wars the rest of my play time is on the legends.
Great video man!! I decided to pull the trigger on this and it is coming in Friday and then I saw your video lol. I am like I hope that doesn't happen to me. Thanks again for the video. Subbed as well.
Thanks, I hope you have better luck!
So what ended up happening with your Legends arcade cab. I'm looking to get one but want some real reviews first
@@bigmacfullerton7870 it was just fine. I have the full setup and review on my channel as well.
@@MadDadsGaming Cool I will check it out
@@bigmacfullerton7870 Thanks man
Thank you so much for this vid! Been on the fence, and it's a tad pricy here in Sweden. So I'm really glad I get the scratch this one out of my list. I still want and arcade machine though :)
Eller hur!
9 999 kr på Elgiganten, jääävligt dyrt!
I would had return the ALU cab, there are to many deficiencies to be ignored! I am lucky the one I brought from Sam club was in excellent condition! It been three months I am happy with my purchase ☺️! Next At Games purchase will be the pinball, can't wait.. Great video and review!
So glad I watched this before I pulled the trigger. I'll stick to building my own. Great review. I've never had any issues with my arcade 1up products (pinball and cabinets) and the more I look into these legends cabinets and pinball they seem to just have so many issues and awful customer service.
I disagree. Mine is perfect and there are a lot of other people who say the same. Just like anything, some can be lemons, but if you get a good one, it’s an awesome machine. Controls are super sturdy. I have NO issues allowing my 7 and 9 year old play with it unsupervised.
@@Augustinemelecio they charge you for playing other games you wanna add? wtf? how can you defend this crap machine and company.
Oh geez. Got one on the way. LOL Fingers crossed. maybe they've fixed the light bleed issue, by now. From the images you showed, I'd have to suspect that unit was a returned product, and whomever had it before, didn't repack correctly, or the factory didn't repack correctly. One would think the factory would have a stock of spare parts, to support customers. I'm guessing you could reinforce those broken parts with a piece of 1/4 inch metal with holes in it, from a DIY shop, or a piece of wood, on the inside facing surfaces. Very sorry to see your unit arrive in that condition. You might be able to get those graphics to lay flatter, if you apply a light coating of fabric adhesive (non-permanent), to the back of the graphics, and then reinstall them. I'd paint those clips black, though. Personally, I'll likely go without the graphics, turn the kick plate around, to just show black, and just have the machine be the black monolith, from 2001, in the room. LOL Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the review it helped me steer clear of this QA nightmare. You are far more patient than me as I would have smashed this with hammer and fire once I saw the broken wood.
LOL
It's not really a good review ... it seems to be a review of a game he got stuck with that was dropped by someone and salvaged for parts. Best to check some actual reviews of ones that didn't just fall off a truck apparently hahaha
Wow, you really had some issues there. I also picked up a 1.1 from Sam's Club, but everything was fine on mine. Not sure if you kept it or not, but they are back in stock. I setup CoinOpsX and am rocking 1561 games now! I wish they'd consider a 4 person machine. Pretty good price to fun ratio!
Hey I heard him mention in the video that it cost 1$ an hour to play your own games??? Is this for the coinopsx? Or was that something different? Thank you
Thank you for the very good video! What would suggest to add more games?
This is no joke, The Legends Ultimate is a production lottery. We had mostly all these problems plus others. Our D board was split in half, T-mould was scratched and chipped along the edges, E Board had a chip taking out of the corner, Side panel had a scratch dead center. various edges were chipped and needed touch up marker. As we slide the panels in we noticed this haze on the edge of the panels. We started wiping the haze with a microfibre cloth and water. Huge amounts of black paint was coming off the panels from, I am guessing, the veneer overspray? We got the overspray paint off the panel and they looked normal again. We finally got it assembled, and the display wouldn't turn on. Opened it up and the monitor power switch wasn't even attached. After it finally turned on we have a chunk of plastic stuck in the bottom right corner of the LCD (inside the actual LCD panel). Further to this, the LCD panel was also not even assembled properly, we have a strip of exposed lighting from the panel in the top right hand corner of the screen too (total eye sore when sitting and playing the machine). The acrylic plexiglass is scratched with swipe marks from a dirty cloth underneath the bezel from whoever assembled the unit. This has been more work and worry than excepted. We wrote atgames to hear their response, but have not heard back yet. We may just end up shipping this back to samsclub, but we are debating even attempting an exchange. This is way more production faux pas than normal.
Yikes! And I thought my experience was a little rough. It's faster to just return it in my opinion and try a different one.
@@FishBeeProductions I was worried because I saw your video just after I ordered it. I really thought you had a fluke unit. Apparently not. Thanks for posting this because it gave me comfort in knowing I am not alone!
So what ended up happening?
@@bigmacfullerton7870 sams club will send a replacement but hasn't asked for the old one back yet. The machine has further problems. The player one joystick doesn't register the up position properly anymore. This seemed to happen after a firmware update. It's basically a brick now. Hoping at games can warrant this, but they told me to wait for a firmware update which came and went and did nothing. Sadly, communication with at games (while they try to be helpful) can take days for a response. I may be SOL. These machines are plagued, and in hind sight I would have just bought a cabinet and put in my own internals. Literally got 10 dollars worth of arcade quarter conversion for the price of $650.
@@tYNS That is too bad. Have you thought about putting a new joystick in it? Easy to do and they cost $25. I know you shouldn't have to but at least it might work. I bought a Arcade 1up Partycade before Christmas I have already had to replace the joystick and the fire button in about a months use. Oh also, I bought a gun safe from Sam's and the first one was damaged. They sent me a new one but never picked up the old one so I now have two. You might be able to pull off getting two and selling one.
I love mine! I able to mirror my pc on to it and play everything off my steam and any emulators, surprisingly it auto detects the arcade controls, I’m also hardwired in so that helps a ton
I got the 1.0, I'm very happy with it. The marquee did arrive cracked but I imagine that's because of how unwieldly the 1.0 box is to handle, I'm sure the delivery people had trouble, I had to get help to bring it upstairs into my apartment. Atgames replaced it for free, albeit about four months later, but at least they did it. It was just a cosmetic issue so it didn't bug me much. I also replaced the plastic screws with metal screws of similar size spray painted with glossy black enamel paint (stick them into a piece of cardboard, follow paint instructions and spray over them, wait for them to dry) because it looks nicer and they're more durable. I keep hearing about the poor quality of the 1.1, sorry you had to go through this. Most of your issues do seem to be through poor handling as well, but the loose screen and crappy side art panels are the two biggest complaints about the 1.1 that are the fault of poor quality.
Dude I wish I could be as optimistic as you dude refused to give up on the cabinet 😆
I would've sent that shit back with those cracks that's a no go for that price point I'll stick with my sf mk2 arcade1up cabinet
Wow man, just saw this, you did a great review of the product. I must say, I didn’t have any of the problems you had with my Gen 1 ALU, sad to see so many QC issues. I have a theory that the version 1 Sam Club unit is superior in quality to the rest. It seemed like the Walmart v1 was a step down and it appears this one could be a step down from that. I don’t “dislike” Atgames as someone suggested in your comments section but it seems people that review it are not even remotely as critical about it’s flaws so I appreciate your honest take on the experience. I hope you’re able to get some enjoyment out of it. I view this as a easy to use mame emulation machine because the BYOG is really how most people enjoy it. I was in the arcades in the mid 90’s - 2000’s so most of the built in titles with the exception of the SNK ArcadeNet games, I don’t care for. Anyway, great review bud 👍🏻
Thanks for checking out my video! I've been watching a lot of your videos lately and I'm loving all the arcade stuff coming up! Bad thing is I ordered another cabinet from sam's club and it was damaged even worse ☹️.
Retro Ralph looked to me like he got a damaged box. Also, Gen2 looks way different with regards to the packaging and the graphics. I did get mine at Sam’s from the first release so maybe you’re right about it being superior. Since they added the Taito games I’ve been on it as much as my Switch. And I’ll agree that I never use the ArcadeNet feature. It’s pointless if you already have the rom and can use the Addon tool. I also changed my marquee, flipped the front panel, and used vinyl to blacken out the graphics on each side. It’s a full blown Polybius cab now. I used blue duct tape for the stripes. Looks decent from a distance. I could talk retro arcades all day!
I have version 1.0. Love it!
Hey Travis!! Awesome to hear, yeah mine is a lot better now that I got some things fixed.
I’m glad I build my own arcades these problems would turn me away rather than convince me to waste my money on one of these.
People might wanna do some research on building one...it’s not hard at all depending on how you want it just find a weekend to dedicate to the project it actually really would take a weekend if make basic without all the bells and whistles they can be added later if needed.
But once you collect all that you need to run the arcade and games it’s a weekend job and faster if you have a friend to help good luck everyone on your arcade adventures.
Where did you find the plans
Shipping was my issue! One broken part and two S7 screws fixed together so I only have one flipper working! Told to return to Sam's! Wait until they conquer packing for your purchase!
Yeah I don't get it. Arcade 1ups have been pretty good at packaging.
Sorry you had such issues, just unboxed and set it up today and it is in excellent brand-new condition, bought it for me boy. My fave so far is Centipede. thumbs up!
Thank you so much man. Was about to buy one.
If you do buy one, get it from Sam's Club so you can return it if needed.
Just got mine yesterday and it’s great. Screen is perfect. Side graphics fit near perfect. No dents or dings. USB, HDMI and volume are built into my monitor. Sounds like you got a lemon. Also just about all Sam’s clubs near me have these in stock online and in store. I love mine.
Awesome!
The same thing for me and I had to replace the double sided tape to fix but I didn't have the light bleed. With screen issues I would return it. Sam's club gives you 90 days.
Yeah sam's club return policy is crazy good!
Great, I just took a arcade1up golden tee machine back and ordered this. I do however think you got a returned model.
Hopefully you have better luck than I did! It's good if not damaged.
@@FishBeeProductions Hopefully. The controls look top notch and are the reason I bought it.
Got the gen 1 for about a year now. No issues whatsoever. Beats the arcade 1up machines by a long shot. Hot CoinOpsX running. Might change out the graphics on the marquee and control panel. Other than that, it's solid.
Really good review. I’m not surprised on packaging issues . Every arcade kit manufacturer has numerous complaints on damaged product. Although it’s not their fault, there has to be a better way of packaging these things. Glad you went in with an open mind. You have to remember , Ralph doesn’t like Atgames , and alternatively has relationships with 1up. So you have to make judgements yourself. Nice work.
Hey! Now I know you from watching the tech buzz and pdubs stuff, keep it up man.
I am very happy with my Legends Ultimate- generation 1 (Sam’s version). Love the BYOG server to play games like PGA Bowling via Steam. This looks like a step back.
I love my 1.0 as well but the new v1.1 can do all that it does and more, with its pinball capability and interchangeable control decks. To me, that's pretty awesome.
ya i had the same issue with shipping damage. 2 panels were damaged and now trying to get replacements. the control panel and monitor should be a little higher. maybe they will make a riser. lol. still learning the ropes adding my own games. haven't yet tried to stream my own games. the graphics need something better on the sides. get pillowing. the machine does have good potential. just needs some better packaging and better graphics that adhere to the sides.
Beautiful video, I wanted to ask you if it also ships in Italy, thanks.
Thanks I don't think so but not sure
Wow that is some poor QC on their part--hope you're able to find one in better condition! I just picked up a 1.1 version today at my local Sam's--it was the last one there. I haven't assembled it yet but all the parts appear to be undamaged. Crossing my fingers that the display in my unit doesn't exhibit bleed like yours did--I'd be annoyed by that too.
Update--I finished assembling it; everything seems to work correctly...well, at least the most important parts. Unfortunately four of the LEDs on the LED strip that backlights the marquee panel are DOA; what sux about that is that the dead LEDs are all in a row on the right-hand side of the panel, thus you can notice the right side of the marquee is dimmer compared to the rest of the panel. Emailed AtGames support, told them returning/exchanging it at a Sam's Club is not an option since if not anything else, there's no guarantee that the replacement unit won't have any issues; waiting to hear what they say.
I had the same problem with the mystery of the missing HDMI and USB ports. AtGames responded to my email request for help very quickly. However, their proposed solution doesn't seem so great. I've copied and pasted their response below...
"Although it doesn't happen too often, sometimes adhesives can come loose during shipment due to things, such as heat or humidity during transit.
If your monitor bezel is beginning to detach at the lower portion, it may cover up the control strip with your HDMI and USB ports.
To fix this, we suggest using some 3M double sided tape, as shown in the picture we're including in this reply.
The first step is to gently lift up from the bottom of the bezel to further separate it from the monitor.
Next, gently work your way to the sides and continue towards the top of the bezel.
Be very careful that you do not pull hard on the top of the bezel. Just the upper corners, as there is a cavity in the upper middle area.
Pulling too hard on that area may cause damage to the bezel.
Once you have removed the bezel, clean off any remnants of prior adhesives.
Next, add a single strip of double sided tape above and below the LCD on the black backing surrounding the LCD.
Once the tape is in place, be sure to wipe down and clean the surface of the monitor bezel before re-attaching it.
Now you are ready to re-attach the bezel to the monitor.
Start by lining the bezel up toward the top of the black backing area and firmly press down on the upper and lower edges of the bezel to ensure the adhesive
properly secures the bezel.
That's it!
"
I tried to follow these instructions, but that bezel seems too flimsy and I think it will break. I asked AtGames if they will send me a new one if it cracks -I'm waiting for the response.
To be fair, they offered me a $20 coupon towards their e-store or 20 BYOG hours for compensation. I just want the product they advertised. To be continued...
Oh boy, sounds like this could be a common problem. I'll have to try that on mine.
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with your cabinet. I just picked one up yesterday and everything was intact and working great after assembly.
Looks like having it shipped is a risky roll of the dice from what I've been hearing.
I'm definitely going to get the extended warranty. Kicking myself for not buying it while at Sam's.
Yeah I called the local Sam's club and of course no one has it in my area. Customer service said to return it so it sounds like I can't get a replacement screen.
I'm currently looking at this machine at Sam's club deciding whether to take it home or not. Unlike your model the display model here has the HDMI/USB ports right above the 1st player joystick is. Also I see the side panel of the machine has some damage but it looks not too bad.
I wish a sam's club around me had one to exchange!
The ports are above the joysticks in both models. In his case, the bezel came loose, likely during shipping and covered them up at the bottom.
Man, just got a 1.1 on trade and this machine is badass with the coinops!!! Geez!! I have a few oneups and yeah the nostalgia is ok, but man this has it all!! And its bigger!! Bigger screen! Almost full size machine.
Wow...just wow. I give you credit for keeping your cool. That looked like a terrible experience. Iam going to stick with my Arcade 1Ups
Well, I got one, back in January. It has horrible audio lag. Tried reporting it to customer support, but they waited a month, to tell me to report it to technical support, and three weeks later, they told me to report it to customer support. This went on three more times, by which time, the warranty was expired. Basically, AtGames stole my warranty. When a supervisor finally contacted me, asking for a video of the problem, they flatly denied the problem, and said I was "perceiving" the problem. I'm a professionally trained video editor, and I know audio video desync when I see, and hear it. LOL. Other problems have started happening, lately, like garbled audio, if a game is left running more than a couple of hours. So, I finally broke down, and bought Arcade Modup's Raspberry Pi, and LCD marquee kit. Gotta tell ya', there's absolutely NO delay between audio, and video. I think I'll permanently bypass the AtGames assets, now. I've already canceled the AtGames Arcadenet account. Definitely was an unwise decision to go with that cabinet. Oh, and the joy sticks squeak, like a beat up old car's suspension. LOL Oh, the cabinet isn't even all wood, like the Arcade1ups. The core component is mostly plastic. Only the base, side, and back panels are wood. Thin wood, at that. For a full sized cabinet, the panels should've been 3/4 stock.
Your story is not the only one that I've heard of unfortunately.
Man, ya got me scared. Mine is showing up on Monday the 28th of Sept. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Yeah hopefully this isn't common
How was it? Any issues?
I have a V1.0 ALU and its probably my favorite piece of tech. The A1ups are midget toys
I got the OG version...sorry to hear the 1.1 version is having these problems. Mine has 397 games on the system, and I have a 64gb stick side loaded with countless games added. I couldn't be happier with mine. I guess the new version is having some issues they need to work out. I hope that was just a quality control issue. If they fix it please make a response video...if you already haven't that is lol :)
Yeah I think I'll do a follow-up video when I get time.
Does this mean it is ridiculously over-powered to run all these Atari roms, if it’s capable of running things like Metal Slug etc? (Or is it going to struggle with comparatively newer games)
Ouch...I don’t know, the v1,0 is what I got and is everything I wanted. The again they cut a lot of hidden gem games out for v1,1 and that build quality is sad on yours.
Bluetooth Controls - Switch / PS3 / XBOX 360/ Wii U Compatible?
So I know that the newest Beta firmware has the ability to do Bluetooth controls from the cabinet controls. What I thought with also be cool is the ability for these Bluetooth controls to work withe Switch, PS3, etc.
Technically a company like 8bitdo has made controllers that work along these lines.
For me, that would be the major game changer on this unit. You would literally be able to play any game from any older and/or newer machine by just hooking up the HDMI cable and using the controls as Bluetooth controls.
😒 Pass, what I ended up doing was: Desktop Gaming PC + Living Room TV + TWO Arcade Fighting Sticks
nice!
🙂Thanks @@FishBeeProductions
Really? You just saved me the money and hassle. Thanks
Yeah I think you would have better luck if you buy it in store versus having it shipped
BTW, Squirrel King is on this system. A bootleg Chip n' Dale Sega Genesis game is on this. AND IT'S OWNED BY PIKO NOW FOR SOME STRANGE REASON.
Piko is known for buying up used licenses that expire and renaming or rebranding them. Other worthy from them mentions are Hoops Shut up and jam Basketball, formerly known as Charles Barkleys shut up and jam. And they have what was going to be called Mike Tysons punch out 2, but after his rape charges the game was dropped and picked up by Piko and rebranded without Tyson as Power Punch 2
I just got this for Christmas I’m not terribly happy with the graphics or lack of pinball games and as you said I haven’t heard of most of the games on here . And for me it’s confusing to play. So not sure if I’m keeping it or not. I might take it back to Sams Club.
yeah the only reason i like it is because of addonx which allows you to play a ton of other games using a usb flash drive
I just got my machine... I have so many issues lol broken wood, parts everywhere in the box, missing screws, screen light bleed, and the front bezel is not attached correctly at the bottom... A lot of my issues are likely due to FedEx completely destroying the package... It was so beat up, holes all over the box. These people couldn't care less about keeping your packages from not getting messed up.
1) Can you fix the bezel issue?
2) Can the light bleed be fixed or can the monitor be replaced?
Looks like I'm not the only one. Monitor can be replaced, that's the only way I know how to fix the light bleed issue.
I just don't understand why they went with widescreen.. This will be no better than a laptop monitor for vertical games with a thin game screen right in the middle. At least in 4:3 there'd be many full screen games.
It's because a lot of games have bezel artwork on the sides of the screen. It looks awesome, and the game is still played in 4:3, unless you stretch them to full widescreen.
Widescreen monitors are less expensive than 4:3. That's probably the whole reason. But, the widescreen does allow some artwork to be added to sides of the game.
I love my ALU 1.0. The assembly wasn't bad compared to the A1UP. I just remember that the ALU top part came assembled so I didn't have to worry about the monitor. I believe BYOG is more for games from other online platforms like Steam or PinballFX. I use Addon to play the games on my USB stick and that doesn't cost anything.
Doesn't cost anything *yet.
@@patrickriarchy6054 Using Addon and the usb stick is not supposed to cost anything EVER. Arcadenet is supposed to cost money eventually but that has been in free beta for a while. Streaming games from my devices like xbox/pc does cost money but I don't plan on doing that.
@@fredwk2550 They give you 5 access tokens to play the games in the BYOG section everytime you log on. Why would they need to give you authentication tokens to enter those areas unless they are going to start selling tokens when Arcadenet goes live and paid?. I think that they are waiting until they sell enough units before making everything on the machines a paid subscription based service including the BYOG features such as playing games off of our USB drives.
@@patrickriarchy6054 I just tested addon and I was able play games from my usb stick while logged out from arcadenet. I've never dealt with authentication tokens since I use addon with my usb stick. My theory is that authentication tokens relate to coinopsx/addonx/paddonx since the byog description notes people using these services have to log into arcadenet for validation and that resets offline mode to FIVE sessions. The byog description for addon does not mention a yellow security counter, validation or offline mode.
@@fredwk2550 You are correct. I primarily use addonx and get 5 tokens after logging into Arcadenet. I don't understand how to use addon though without logging in.
I sent a video the usb and hdmi ports are behind the bezel I guess it’s a known issue you have to take care of yourself lol
All I want in the all-in-one bar top console and cabinet, and I'll install the games I want.
Sorry to hear you had such a frustrating disappointing experience with your unit. Can’t speak for 2nd generation overall build/system quality but as a day one 1st gen owner I’m extremely happy with mine and haven’t had any problems whatsoever with it. I have all the great classic games (including arcade 1 ups library) on my retro pie with over 8k games. Coin ops X is crazy incredible with all the killer games too. For me it was the multifunction capability of it that sold me on it. Hope you can get an exchange if you decide to keep it. You will discover all the great games you can play on it too! 👍🏼
Unfortunately the world we live in. There are no custom good arcade units out there at all. So many corners cut to save money and overall laziness.
I am glad I watched this video before ordering for my husband. Is street fighter included with the 300 games on here?
It's a good arcade as long as you can get one that is not damaged. Street fighter is not included but can be added on a usb drive.
@@FishBeeProductions I am praying the one I just ordered does not get damaged in transit
Should have bought in store, I had one shipped and had both uprights broke in half, found one in sams bought it and returned broken one
Yes, they need to do a better job at packaging before shipping!
hey I lived in Canada is there any site that sells them or anything i cant find any to buy there mostly us but none of machines ship here
Yes but I don't remember where. Michael B the Game genie said he can finally get one in Canada.
I would of returned it when I opened it and the screws were all over the place
Can you plug in a Pandora box to it?
The cabinet is nearly what I am looking for; I don't need a two-player system. But I would like all the same feature for one. What I am looking for is a DYI cabinet with joy-stik, buttons, spinner & ball. And I'd like to add all the classic, common 80s games like; Galaga, Asteroids, Space Invaders, Centipede, Defender, Tempest, Donkey Kong, and Pac-Man, and others of course. But I can't seem to find all of these available for one gaming system. I may find some together with 50 other games. And even the 412 games in some tabletop verson on ebay seem to lack some of these basic games in one package. Yet, these games are available but in separate gaming systems. How can I get them all in one system, and in a cabinet that has all the right controllers?
It's brand new and falling apart on you my suggestion run return it as fast as you can
i have seen these and i was planning on getting one but watching this is kinda scaring me
As long as it isn't broke it's actually pretty good
Disappointment is a reality in the human world
~Someone
Actually that should be signed by Everyone
You a have lot of patience
Which is better quality , at games legends or arcade 1 up ? They both seem cheap quality .
I would like to buy one not for Their games but to customized it with my own build but buying a new empty cabinet is expensive and still you have to add lots of stuff more.
Oh my goodness mate. I have the original unit and I have had one issue. It took them a while to get me my replacement part but I did receive it. But bloody hell mate nothing repeat nothing like this. This is the new and improved model? The original took all of 15 minutes to assemble. You now have to put the side art on yourself damn... Not to mention all those extra parts I see you now have to assemble yikes! Also there's another chap you should reach out too on TH-cam The Game Librarian. When it comes to a AGLU this lad knows it all. And I mean ALL... Good luck with your machine mate it is a awesome machine to own especially when it's operating proper.
Thanks, I'll have to check out his stuff. There seems to be a ton to learn with this one!
So if it wasn't for all the issues it would be a decent arcade cabinet.
Definitely not a waste of money. I love mine, it’s my fourth console. You can add all your favorite games.
I am looking forward to the SNK cabinet.
SoulFor Sale it’s not an official SNK product. It’s third party by Unico, but yeah it looks neat.
heads up guys 30 day warranty control deck board went bad after 8 months they made it clear that they would not cover so i have to upgrade to gamer pro the kick they said it was my fault and said they were not assigning blame for the time being i am stuck using xbox controller
You should’ve returned it as right after you opened the box and noticed the loose hardware. Especially after you noticed the cracked pieces and chrome damage.
Yeah I probably should of LOL
So I have to pay per hour if I have games on a usb stick?
No that's what I originally thought but they just track your time and you have to log in occasionally
You must have gotten a return unit because Madlittlepixel did a review of a unit AtGames sent him and all the screws were in that plastic container and no broken panels.
You should have complained to Sams Club for selling you a used unit as a new unit.
My wife asked if I wanted this when we came across it at Sam's last week. I told her, no thank you.
It's actually good if you get one that isn't broken LoL. I'm sure it'll be on sale this week.
I've heard nothing but bad stuff coming from Sam's Club purchases. I got mine from AtGames store, and had no issues. It is about $100 more though so...
Wow they include Tron!
Your experience seems opposite of other reviews. Even the 1.0 version is built better than the A1Ups. The controls on them are threshold junk.
I never tried the 1ups ... but I wouldn't want to because I would nearly need to get on my knees to play.
Out ours together, played one game shut it off waited for my 10 yr old to come home and play. Turned it one and nothing worked!! Couldn’t pick a game swipe over do nothing! 1020$ JUNK!!
Looks great, good controls. Downside is the computing power inside the machine is about as powerful as a amiga. It struggles to run arcade games from 30+ years ago such as primal rage. Also think it blocks same Mame titles from loading too but cant prove this.
I still cant decide if I want one of these. At Games really aren't known for quality. At least with their plug and play classic console products. Every one I've bought was so cheap feeling. The controllers barely worked, and made the games unplayable most of the time. The emulators they were using were so lousy. Games didnt look and sound right either.
If there's anyone who's had one of these for more than two years, can you tell me if they're worth it? 👀
They charge you a dollar an hour to play your own roms?? No way!!! That's just crazy no thanks I will just make my own
I'm not sure if that's true since I haven't had it that long but they do keep track of your time for some odd reason
I thought the Sam's version was supposed to be the better one?
Think it had extra stuff to be the better one.
I just bought the legends core how good is it
The core is the same software just more games on the ultimate
It's not a waste of money but the "reddit" discussion groups seem to really be "scared" of doing mods on it involving things like soldering. Your parts problem was an "individual" situation, mine didn't come like that. It sounds like someone badly handled the unit during the delivery. My art came "glued" on already. I would say the company selling this thing is getting "cheaper" by the day with their creation. But remember, if it was FedEx, it won't be a "quality" delivery, expect some breakage.
build your OWN DIY or a FLat pack never buy pre made cabs in retail stores save your money and build a unique and badass system
Sir plz make a video on Samsung S5 e vs iPad 7th gen.
Good idea!
@@FishBeeProductions
Thanks sir
It's so weird to see people criticize the game selection on this retro arcade machine when it literally has 5-10 of the best selling, most popular arcade games of that retro era, 1978-1988. What games were you expecting? Virtua Fighter 3 and House of the Dead?
So what’s your job role at atgames?
The roll on, unstuck graphics looks soooo bad. I'm glad a got the Gen1. Sorry man :(
I can't get the Arcade to connect to my WiFi any suggestions?
May be too far away from the router
Anyone know any good websites for cheap multicades?
