AtGames Legends Core - Is It Worth Your Money?

[@darkwingdave79]

Here's WHY I enjoy your channel... this video is THE perfect example; not only you're giving us (your viewers) what new, hot and modern. With THAT, you also give a tutorial on how to use it as well as handle it. THIS channel is quality!!!!!!! Keep up that AMAZING WORK, My Dude.

I appreciate the feedback!

[@adamchoi8136]

Totally forgot that legends devices allows all the customizations. Might be a great use for the ps5 controller that has no console to play with.

[@everettrantanen1732]

Great Video, very clear and easy to understand...looking forward to more.

[@TheMonster83]

@COOLTOY, I am wondering if at some point AtGames will come up with a firmware update that puts it to sleep like with the Nintendo Switch, So that it's not always on when you are not using it.

[@r.burger991]

Another nice video! It was nice to see/hear etaprime give you a shout out the other day too!!! You are the goto for the atgames units.

[@cooltoy]

That was a really cool surprise for me to hear when I was watching that video! Been watching his content for several years so that was very surreal

[@harrysnodgrass9540]

Do you know if these will work out of the box with the X-Arcade Tank Stick with trackball? Thanks for all of your videos.

[@nomorecontinues6564]

I’d like to know about the Tankstick as well! Did you ever find out if it will work?

[@wiredupretro]

I'm going to be trying this out soon... will see if I can get back here soon to let everyone know... Edit: I think Xbox One Bluetooth controllers work on this. You'll probably have to connect whatever Xarcade joystick you own to a Cronusmax Plus or Cronus Zen and then have the Cronus product be set to have Xbox One output. Should work with a little finagling.

[@TBtheking405216]

I bought this just for Elevator Action Returns

[@Trooper1260]

Great video. Can you get up to 4 players (like for Simpsons)? Also, can players 2, 3, and 4 be wireless (like player 1 is with Blue Tooth), or do they need to be wired through the USB hub?

This is really cool. I know the games can be set to be vertically oriented on the screen. If I wanted to dedicate this to a vertical setup for pinball and vertical games, does the menu interface show up vertically? Thanks Cool Toy, they really have some great products going based on their system.

[@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial]

Doesn’t seem bad, I’ve had some AtGames products I’ve liked and some I’ve absolutely hated. Nice little gimmick with this for $50. Good review!

[@smog-097]

Anyone know how to change the button mapping in the GUI?

[@scottboehmer1975]

Another excellent video! But it does raise a question for me. I thought to run CoinOpsX on the Legends machines you had to go through a process to actually add it to the machine. Is that the case or do you just have to have the image on the SD card? Just curious because you just stuck in the SD card and it worked, so I wasn't sure if there was anything you had to do before that (aside from downloading the image, of course) to get this to actually run.

[@TStodden]

If you paid attention to the firmware version when the settings are shown, it was running just the default (outdated) firmware... so all we need back then we just all your files on a USB storage device. Once you update it to the current firmware, you'll access CoinOpsX via the AddOn Store (Flash Drive X required). If you don't want to run a 2 USB device configuration, you'll need to make 2 partitions on your USB storage device (Flash Drive X partition as the primary, General Storage as secondary). Since this was an advanced review unit, there may be stipulations with AtGames on NOT updating the firmware for risk of bricking the device (which was a concern when stores broke the street date for the 2nd Gen Ultimates (v1.1)) until it's officially supported by the firmware.

[@YacAttacks]

How did you add the custom games?

[@treys9123]

[@garycopestake5148]

Thanks for the info. I ordered one of the first cores. Can you tell me if coinopsx will work on this? I already have v4 ready to go and I ordered a wired 360 controller Amazon’s pick. Should all work without mapping? I tried to get powerA you recommended but out of stock

[@garycopestake5148]

Looks like I got my answer after watching the second half of the video. Thanks again

[@cooltoy]

@@garycopestake5148 I would think the Xbox 360 controller would work, but I haven’t personally tested one to confirm for certain. You may be able to find one of the Power A controllers at a local Walmart store near you

I tried connecting an 8bitdo controller to the atgames core, but it is not working correctly. I can navigate ok with the controller, but once I start a game none of the controller buttons work. I have the mini and the joystick works fine, but no luck with my third party controller. Any idea why the BT controller might not work?

[@cooltoy]

please don'y buy a USB stick online. There are tons of youtube tutorials available that show you how to set up your own. The downside of buying a USB stick online (besides the obvious legal issues) is those USB sticks are a frozen moment in time essentially and any new firmware updates that happen to your device could potentially render your USB stick useless

Hi Cooltoy love your videos, Question Im using an xbox one controller with the core but I dont know how to acces the menu with it, is there a Key combination of sorts or the xbox one controller is not fully supported?

The only thing I wish it has was a 2nd USB port so you can use a wired arcade stick along with a USB drive for games. Other than that, this is a nice affordable option for those who don't have the space for a cabinet and want to play arcade stuff on a bigger tv from the sounds of it. :)

Thanks for the video, got mine today and cannot get a controller to work with it tried a joystick control deck with an iPac2 didn’t work ,tried a Nimbus wireless controller didn’t work, tried a USB Nintendo knock off didn’t work and just bought an 8bitdo wireless controller with multiple settings still didn’t configure up correctly ready to get rid of this thing it’s not worth the hassle.

[@Redant751]

I feel the same way I am very unhappy wit this thing.

[@greg23beach]

It’s funny the 8bitdo controller in X input setting worked with some of the buttons but could not exit games or remap any buttons. In the instructions they do mentioned that they cannot recommend any controllers that each one’s going to be slightly different and that it’s built for their controllers only which is funny because you cannot buy just the controller from them.

So there's no RAM in the unit?? Most of these games should load the entire game to RAM, to eliminate any possibility of lag, these games aren't that big, even the Neo Geo CD had enough Ram to load complete games besides the big fighters, it wouldn't have cost much to toss 1gb in to eliminate any possibility of internet issues.

I tested like 7 wired older USB PC based like 8 bitdo sn30, n64 , gamecube , etc and they all have issues with missing button mapping or just does not work at all. It is not plug and play as atgames make it appear. I hope atgames fix this before public release.

Well after getting everything loaded up... "I could be wrong here." Thats what I need people's help figuring out. Is that once the arcade net comes out of beta, you will be forced to pay for there online membership to access your games from usb drive from either the coinopsx, or addonX. As there is a coin with the number 5 in it... and if your not logged in....it'll count down...once its 0...you can no longer play them without loging in. Now if this is true...why hasn't anyone one of these youtubers told us about this. Maybe there's another way to access your games... Just feeling really bummed that I may have to pay for this mountly.....help me out here.
