@RETRO PHIL Heck, anything more than just a few generations old MUST be played on a CRT, say nothing about this classic stuff. I keep an old CRT tv on hand specifically for me to play my old consoles like Genesis, Nintendo 64, NES, and such on. Really only modern consoles of the last few generations look good on a wide screen LED TV.

What joysticks did you put in it, out of curiosity?

How was it?

Does it not count against your time?

Modern Classic No. Local streaming with your own PC on your own network is free. It's separate from the AtGames service that uses the cloud gaming service and a virtual PC. That has a cost because you're using external server and network time. There are only two instances where you're charged, that and ArcadeNet gaming. However, ArcadeNet is free while in beta so there's only the one charge. Everything else you can do on there, and there's a lot, is completely free.

@Spawndude Spawndude If you intend to have physical bezel, with some sort of design, or vinyl graphic, you may be limited to the 27, at most, for a decent sized monitor. However, Given your visual situation, I'd go with the 32" monitor, in which you would not be able to use a bezel, but would enjoy a monitor that's easier for you to see, and actually be comparable to commercial arcade monitors.

It comes with everything u seen. The controller deck, cabinet and monitor. And no you can't switch out the deck because if u watched the video (lol) u would see that everything is put on that controller deck including the chipset to make it operate.

They currently have them available on pre-order in France and Belgium for early June via a well known french chain so there's a good chance it will be available in the UK soon.🤞🤞🤞They are charging €899 though 🙁

Get a megacade. It's a multicade that currently has over 70,000 games. In usd it's roughly five and a half grand and whilst you could build one for cheaper. It won't be on par with the quality from that machine. Free upgrades once you've bought it as well if i'm correct. Customer service sounds spot on as well.

Some Random Guy that machine does look amazing but 70,000 games! I just want this machine here with like 1000

They're in the UK now, because I saw an advert for them!

The Galaga in this footage is just running on MAME (as the BYOG arcade games generally do). It should have the same amount of lag as an average MAME setup. I don't notice much lag, if any, in most games, although I do in some.

@@ModernClassic Thanks for the confirmation. Thinking about getting one, although the fact that the scan lines are in the wrong orientation in vertically oriented games like 1942 bugged me :-) so I'll probably turn off scan lines for vertical games until they fix it.

Trust me, you won't want to. It looks way more wrong with no scanlines than with horizontal scanlines.

Already have mine reserved. But I don't see any official source saying this will be included in new ALU units. The page on AtGames' web site for the Bitpixel LED marquee says it's compatible with "all Legends Ultimate and Legends Gamer units", which implies that *no* version comes with it.

There's another guy on KZfaq who did a video on using a MiSTer with this cabinet, but I don't know if he fit it inside. (I think he still wanted to use it with other devices.) The inside of the cabinet is literally just air, though, so there are tons of places you could mount one if you wanted to dedicate it to the Legends Ultimate. Then you would just need to split a cable or two going between the controller and monitor. The cabinet itself is basically just a stand for the controller and LCD screen, so you can do basically anything you want inside it. You could put a desktop PC running MAME in there if you wanted.

There is actually a dedicated Tron joystick that you can buy and install in this machine, though I don't personally have one. Without that, I find Tron really difficult to play. I may get one eventually but it's a little expensive for an attachment for a single game. But people who have it say it makes a huge difference. Frontline and Ikari Warriors I don't know, I wasn't into those games at the time so haven't spent much (if any) time with them on this machine.

I'm really just making an educated guess but it looks more like IPS than TN to me. I don't have a problem with the viewing angles. And there is some "glow" like IPS panels have. I know what you mean on horizontal vs. vertical. I feel like a 16:9 panel, though, is a little bit too extreme for vertical mounting. So I understand why they went horizontal. That also allows you to use bezel artwork that already exists for MAME on PC's for your BYOG games.

@@ModernClassic well is there any kind of glare at all on the screen? If so then its TN not IPS? Just look at it lol we can't. An IPS screen will always have a matte look with no glare.

That's never been a reliable way of telling screen tech - I personally have sold matte and glossy screens of various technologies. It just depends on what the manufacturer decides to put on them, and it's mostly just down to what they think consumer preference is. As for this screen, the entire screen area (from side to side, well beyond the actual screen itself) is covered in glass. So there's no way to see the screen itself without disassembling the unit - something I haven't seen any KZfaqr do, because it's not something you'd really want to do unless you had to.

No unfortunately not, the games that come installed are more unknown or in my opinion not what I'd want to play. But you have a few options of adding your own games for free with a simple download on a pc to a USB flash then you can plug n play

Yes, I realize some games were like that.. it still looks better than no scanlines at all.

@@ModernClassic ;-)

Sam's Club will definitely be getting more periodically, from what I've read from AtGames themselves. I would demo Tron but only if I get one of the dedicated Tron joysticks, and I'm just not really ready to make that commitment. You can find videos on that from other KZfaqrs, though.

Magic.

It’s on preorder at Walmart online right now

They're making an add-on called the Bitpixel Marquee that can do that.

You can actually remap the controls however you want. You can use the P2 controls for P1, you can use the P2 joystick and P1 buttons, etc. I will say that this layout is pretty standard for how 2 player arcade games use to be laid out. But some may have been different; I didn't play everything back in the day.

Don't worry, they have seen this video :)

I talk about that in the video itself.

Not to me. I'm sure it exists but I was surprised that I didn't notice it in actual gameplay.

Supposedly more will be in stock at the end of the month

6'4". So you'd have the same issues. I think it's made assuming people will sit on a stool rather than stand. I'd rather stand, though; feels more nostalgic.

@@ModernClassic Thanks MC. If I buy it I'll build a stand for it to raise it up. Great video, very well put together.

It's not that much different than a regular arcade machine. But I bought a couple of stools anyway.

@@ModernClassic Im not as tall as you or Willie, but I am 6'3 and I can say 100percent a stool makes a huge difference. I use one and it makes a world of difference in game play position.

This machine is different. Check out some of the other videos out there... they've learned a lot of lessons.

@@ModernClassic I would hope so for $600, as that's a fairly mid range AMD based gaming PC.

@@CommodoreFan64 ya but the most known company doing this stuff Arcade1up sells you an arcade for around $400 and all you can do is play a couple games on it. This arcade has no limit on how many games you play and offers a whole lot more with no mods necessary unlike arcade1up. The price to me is right on point, and it's unfair to compare this to a pc. Completely 2 different things here and your paying for the nostalgia of it all in a realistic type arcade cab.

@@CommodoreFan64 Also I own a pandoras box that cost $200 and thats just for the sticks and buttons built into a box and you plug n play onto a TV screen. So for just $400 more I get an entire full sized arcade cabinet btw, because arcade1up is 3/4 sized and I can play anything I want on it just with a quick download. Sounds good to me. The point is you have companies selling arcades half sized and with 3 games in it. I can buy this Atgames and play over 1,000 games without any MODS!! So whats really worth what here...... Do you see what I'm saying? Did I mention its also the only arcade cab that's fully connected. Meaning wifi internet for updates, adding games and most importantly in which Modern Classic did not mention is that this hooks directly up to your Steam account and you can play some current high graphic fighting games like the new mortal kombat for example... so yes I believe its well worth a 600 tag

They have really made an effort to do things right this time.

You just need to download the add-on tool and follow the instructions. github.com/FalkensMaze1983/ultimate_addon

Don't have to hack it. Adding games is officially supported.

A lot of arcade controllers look similar from afar.. that's why I opened it up to see what was in there. I don't know much about those Pandora's box things other than that with 3,188 games for $180, there's no way those games are all licensed. But who knows what kind of parts are even in there. Could be good, or maybe not. Maybe sometime I'll try one out, but I'm not going to pay even that much for one.

@@ModernClassic the one I have looks almost identical inside, even the board looks very similar. I think it's a low end arm thing and at a guess I would say about as powerful as a raspberry pi 3. It runs 99% of the games fine with the odd one that either the controls don't work or runs slow. I paid about £120 for mine which I think was worth it for a very nice duel joystick panel that can easily be upgraded with a more powerful single board computer and better parts. It's great as a USB duel fighting stick for PC as well.
