Microcenter has been doing great things in the home arcade market

It’s a fantastic device. I used it to build an arcade kiosk. 2 years later still using it almost every day and it’s built like a tank with real arcade parts. Batocera is my main frontend. I own around 1000 classic console/arcade games and put them on it. I love Micro Center!

Best thing atari made since the lynx. I've had mine for maybe a week now with out the Pi for $99 . I put my intel compute stick in there with MAME .119 in it. Might switch to coinops later. 🤙🏾💯

Pretty cool. Been visiting Microcenter since 1999, I'm a fan.

Thank you for plugging it into the Windows computer! My Michigan Micro Center currently (Feb, 2023) only has the RPi version but it's $128!!! Basically giving it away! I was concerned though that I wouldn't be able to connect it to my LaunchBox, thanks for confirming that!

I picked up the non raspberry pie version with the track ball a couple weeks ago for $129 its a great quality, old school arcade feeling controller.. IF your not into building your own control panels.. Just hardware wise.. its pretty much at the cost of components if you were to DIY one.. get this thing!

Went to micro center yesterday to purchase this without the pi built in and it was on sale for$129. Went to check out and it rang up for $109. Steal of a deal. Can't wait to get a pi 4 installed and have a pedestal arcade up and running. Love the videos and keep up the good work.

Deja vu I just watched this vid before Uploaded yesterday And I'm watching it again right now

I love that your Big Box themes are the same as mine.

Everyone be aware this product is amazing the buttons work well the trackball is responsive and so are the sticks. But the controls for every single game on the SD card it comes with have messed up controls!!! They changed the default button to get into the MAME menu while you are in the games from tab to the C You can then change the inputs per game Like normally

That does look really nice...I have a Tankstick that I've debated putting a Raspberry Pi in and setting up. But what would really have been nice is if the manufacturer had installed a spinner on that thing, for games like Tempest, Breakout/Super Breakout and Pong. Interestingly, I get ads from Micro Center (well recommended for computer fans who like to roll their own like me) and the people putting these out actually have an Atari-branded USB spinner that's designed to replace a button. The ad I saw read that it was going for $39.99, much cheaper than similar spinners out there.

I used to make Home Arcade Controllers: The Treyonics line of Devastator, Devastator II, and the Centurion.

Now this Saturday to Sharonville, Ohio. I need this in my life

Great stores you have in the US. Mainboards, CPUs, GPUs, SBCs all on display in traditional store shelves ! This kind of retail has disappeared from my country ages ago. Most computer related retail here has pretty much moved to online only with only a few items on display. There are still traditional stores selling electronics but they have very few computer components available, mostly selling consumer stuff like TVs, laptops, phones and various household appliances.

I had one of these for years. They just need to add a spinner for Tempest

Set this onto a (musical instrument) keyboard stand (or even a ironing board stand lol) in front of a decently sized TV and you'd get a decent arcade type experience that can be tucked away easily when not in use.

My main question on these dual sticks is whether the 2 joysticks can be configured as a dual-stick control, e.g. for games like Robotron.

They have changed the graphics on the Atari arcade fightstick. The old one had the centipede spider down just below the right side controller. I want to drill a separate hole for a USB spin controller. But I need measurements of how far up from the base the center of the images of spider is. The new fightsticks have that image towards the very top near the white buttons

I purchased the 2 player Fight stick w/Trackball a couple days before you made this review. I bought the version without the Raspberry Pi since I already had a 3b+. It was super easy to throw my own Pi in this thing. The standoffs for the Pi were pre-installed and they even included the 4 screws to screw the Pi down. Only thing I'm missing is that on/off switch that you show in your video. I gotta pick one of those up. Overall this fightstick is great at the current sale price of $50 off. Sticks and buttons are of good quality for clones. Can't complain. I threw an Arcade Punks Pi build on here and it works perfectly.

I am pretty speachless to see a Atari product in 2020 that is not botched and does not cost a zillion pennys too much.

I wish Atari made this product, years ago, instead of the cheap Flashback units. This product is beautifully-made and highly respectable! I hate seeing the Atari name pimped-out on cheap products!

I’ve got this and love it. Setup in my man cave

I love micro center! I was just there this past weekend to get a 2TB m.2 drive for my dell G5 SE!!!

Microcenter are not in the UK so I can't get one which sucks. I can't tell for sure but it looks like you might even be able to squeze in a Mini ITX build if you don't mind cutting a few extra holes.

Looks very similar to the X-Arcade Tank Stick, if the quality is the same it will be a good unit

The problem I have with emulators are on games like Pac-Man, the joysticks seem to never hit the corners correctly. Then you have the whole 4-way vs 8-way debate. Did you play any games like Pac-Man, Kangaroo, or Dig Dug on this setup?

Did I just see this post yesterday

Would definitely love to see you do a MC vid! One of these days (when I buy a house) I would love to have an entire arcade setup with something like this included. Would love to get back into Tekken like I used to

Nice to see Microcenter as a sponsor. Great place. Luckily I live by the Colorado location.

🕹️🕹️🕹️Hey Prime, have you tried to play any games that were originally made to play with spinner joysticks like SNK ikari Warriors and Guerilla War? I love those games but not much fun on a regular Pandora's Box arcade stick. Thanks for your thoroughness and professionalism my man, keep up the great work‼️🕹️🕹️🕹️

Love Microcenter, went to the one in Columbus, OH last week and got a mobo and cpu...Big store with lots of inventory. The last component I need is the GPU for my desktop build... and more storage down the road 😄

1:23 "They have stores in the US ... and that's it", darn! lol

I just ordered this today without the pi3 in it. I will use my raspberry pi 4 and either make a bar top arcade with a 32-in TV or a sit-down pedestal so I can sit on my couch and hook it to the big screen.

MicroCenter's website says "In-Store ONLY". My nearest stores are Dallas or Houston. Comparable distance either way. They're also Limiting the Pi 400 to ONE per customer, so, I guess I'll do my Christmas shopping elsewhere...

I really like this game stick. My question is from I saw its reto-pie, so I can load more game and systems on it or is it stuck with what comes on it?

I miss Microcenter, I hope to travel and visit one again, someday. Cool item, thanks for showing it👍

Looks like a decently built unit. Might have to treat myself.

You are a dangerous man in gaming ، We wish you progress and more

Wow this thing looks very cool. But this is a reupload right?

Thanks for cool videos like this, my dude. They're keeping me sane while I await covid test results after getting sick.

We need to mod with a spinner. A quality one for Tempest/Kaboom/Arknoid conquests...

Could you plz do a video on how to map the atari fight stick in bigbox, please

The Razer Atrox Arcade Fight Stick came with One Gas Strut 5-7 years ago

I wish there where microcenter stores in germany 😭

Like this arcade stick a lot. Going to see if Microcenter ships to Canada.

so you CAN put more games on here!!! oh hecc yeah

That is a fairly quality looking piece of kit. I'm rather impressed. Unfortunately, my nearest Micro Center is almost a 3 hour drive away.

I miss paddles for Pong and Break Out ;)

Missing knob for tempest. Other than that, pretty good.

Hey, ETAPRIME? I love your videos and just purchased one of these controllers, only without the preinstalled Pi and image. There's definitely tweaking to be done when you first plug it in. Could you maybe consider doing a video to explain how to get everything up and running? I got the Xin-Mo controller properly detected, but just can't seem to get the trackball working with my games. I can't be the only one having trouble, and I've spent the last couple of days looking for answers with no luck.

Great review Prime definitely thinking about pulling the trigger on this..I know Amazon sells it we do not have a MicroCenter in Florida unfortunately..

Reppin' that Microcenter in Rockville, MD!!

You stated that is compatible with XBox. How can you do that? if so could you make a video on it?\

Love this man's voice 😍 ❤

I've been wondering about how they're selling it with Retropie since it has a strictly non-commercial license, it seems that they went with "Free download of pre-configured software with purchase".

Wish that Microcenter shipped it would be a lengthy drive for me. I see that they can be ordered from Amazon but at a higher price than what's posted on the Microcenter site.

Just in time! I was about to build my own just to play Killer Instinct on Xbox One...

Do you know if it be possible to switch out one of the buttons/joysticks for a spinner for games like Tempest?

OMG, watching ETA prime getting wiped out in missile command on his first casual try was PAINFUL to watch...

Hey Prime I would love video of the inside of the micro center it might be the closest seeing the inside of place!!!!!!!!!

Great vid. This reminds me: when the hell is that Atari console coming out?

Great video! How would you compare this to the Legends Gamer Pro?

A shame MicroCenter doesn't ship these internationally Getting stuff like this to Puerto Rico would be cool.

No Microcenter in Florida which sucks because I see some great deals posted for them on SD all the time

Great video. I have an old usb spinner. I wonder how hard it would be to install it below that track ball?

Can you release a shirt with your best endorsement and possible mantra? "It's gonna be just fine."

do you recommend this or the at games one ? , peace from NYC

Too bad these are only available instores, I would wish to purchase one, but I live in Sweden and they are currently unavailable at Amazon.

Micro Center just needs more stores...

Concave buttons! FINALLY!!

this was a good vid.u always know ur stuff.i gives u props.now if only u can teach how u run dolfins&gets emulators.

really nice quality.. reminds me my x-arcade tankstick

Take that trip, preferably with a good 360 cam, or a gopro.

Sooo... how well do the stock joysticks work with strict 4-way games like pacman, digdug, etc?

Tell MicroCenter to come to Florida :(

Way better then the atari vcs keep up the good work eta prime love tech old and new 👌

Is the trackball part of the player 1 usb controller? How does it work in windows? Or does it not? You said it's like a mouse, so I assume there's another usb plug maybe that would connect to a windows machine.

ok, this looks kind of good, but the power switch is a night lamp switch that is stuffed inside a hole... not exactly what i would say "well put together" there is plenty of room to add a power switch on this, why would they do something like that?

Wow! I really want (and need) one!!!!

Does this mean all your videos will be sponsored by Microcentre from now on ?

Okay; I was gifted this but it is the version without Pi. I am totally ignorant of how to get games on it. Any advice or could you refer me to any videos or websites that could help? I have not been successful finding one yet.

This looks awesome want one unfortunately no microcenter in UK 😭😭😭😭

Love the Channel!!

Would you prefer using this or the Atgames pro controller?

This version is 170 right now at your local microcenter overlords..

it looks like the track-ball screen response is S L O W, this can be easily adjusted via mouse sensitivity ? Other than that, it looks like it will play awesome !

How do you get the second player stick to work on the raspberry pi its only recognizing one. ?

Can you change those 8way joysticks to 4 way to play games like pacman and dig dug?

thank you for the video. which one is better 2020 Pandora Box 11S or Atari Dual Fight Stick ? thank you

Stores Reminds me of old school radio shacks

hOOoooo THIS THINGs is nice !! Very interesting and gives me lots of ideas Does SNK IRRITATING MAZE work with the trackball ???

need 1 with a spinner as well as the track ball and to be able to get them in canada as well.

Prime, can more roms or emulators be added to the pre loaded image? Or we need to add a new sd card with a new image?

Xarcade vs Atari ....ready fight!

Childhood dream

Microcenter is Toysrus for computer enthusiasts.

Any idea if this was discontinued? Appears out of stock at all the Microcenters. Only finding overpriced on Amazon. Trying to track one down.

I need help setting this up ;( I took it apart to build a cabinet around it. Cabinet is done but never played it, almost 2 years now. It did not came with a Pi. Was going for Hyperspin PC?

Its a literal arcade. Just...Damn!!
