In this video I show you guys how to create Arcade UCE files to use with the AtGames Legends Ultimate Arcade. I show you how to create a single UCE file and also how to create multiple files in a batch. I also go over the steps to use the new and amazing CionOpsX feature!

Downloaded the AddOn tool. Running Windows 7x64 and it says the program is incompatible with the version of Windows. Guessing this requires Windows 10 per chance?

[@JohnMOTU369]

awesome video Patton getting ready to buy my arcade cab in three day from now

[@PattonPlays]

Awesome, hope you can pick one up!

[@davidpeterson5472]

Thanks for the great guide! However, the .so files link is dead. Could you give some guidance on how to find those now?

[@davidpeterson5472]

Never mind. I figured out .so are the Linux cores and can be downloaded from the Libretro buildbot.

[@wbarry1970]

When you opened the libretro folder I see at the top 4DO. I did not get that in my folder. where can I find this. I have yet to see 3DO on the ALU but would like to try.

[@Hanoveur]

What if you don't have box art for a specific game?

[@craigs9282]

Can this same process be used for NES/SNES/SEGA roms, cores, bezel art, etc. that I have?

[@TampaTec]

under rated channel, liked and subbed.

[@Kilroy_5150]

There are dead files in the links, please correct these. This video is completely useless without the files and those ".so" files aren't that easy to find by general searches. Google sends you to all the wrong places. Everything you need is NOT (above). Please fix this.

[@MonkeyBall2453]

I understand you can't provide links to where to DL roms, but can anyone tell me; do files exist that bundle all of these files, the Box Art, Bezel Art, Emulator Core and Game Roms together in a single zipped file? I see that these sorts of thumbdrives are being sold on eBay and Etsy, so I assume they exist online as a torrent or .iso file or zip. Or does one need to create such a collection of matching PNGs and Roms by piecing them together file by file?

[@MrSteveonbroadway]

Thats my question also, was looking hard at buying this yesterday

You don't say where you get the Box Art and Bezel Art files from. I want to convert a C+64 d64 file to UCE, any advice?

[@pascalaubry8237]

Bringing your attention for french people and whom it may concern if you have another regional preference than US in MS Office : before adding batch csv file in AddOn Tool, ensure that you open it with notepad or else and FIND AND REPLACE ; signs with comma. Or it simply doesn't work. Note aux français avec clavier Azerty et options regionales FR si AddOn Tool ne fonctionne pas (0 fichier UCE créé) : il faut éditer le fichier csv avec blocnote ou autre pour y remplacer tous les point-virgules par des virgules... Et cela fonctionne.

[@KuldeepSingh-v5s1h]

Amazing video!!!! Do you have any updates for those on firmware 5.70? UCE are broken for those of us stupidly updated firmware.

[@oscarvzz]

hi bro, very good video just one question, i did everything you said but in the field that i most select the core it says that " selected emulation core is not an arm aarch 64 compatible library file" and that happend with absolutely all cores i downloaded, i downloaded i think all but still the same, can you help me?

[@jessragan6714]

I may need to use this tutorial at a later date. SaUCE 4.5 is nice and all, but it's missing some games I remember from my youth, like Rockola's Eyes. Also Lizard Wizard, but I don't think anyone really remembers that one fondly.

[@SN-bm3xj]

How the hell do you know which Core to use with your ROM files?

[@flashedkickz1255]

Is there sny program that can be used on android to do this i have a arcade cabinet the same one in my university as i work as a it technician but want to add more games so i can whoop some students at street fighter 3rd strike 😂

[@dontommy54]

I can't get the batch starter kit to download. And when I downloaded the ROMs, I can't get the copy path button to work. Am I just having issues?

[@EvanLips]

Does anyone know how I can get a MAME 0.220 .so file?

[@jeremoople]

Has anyone figured out how to access saved game data in an UCE? It's kind of a non-issue for arcade games, but it would be nice for GBA and SNES games. The save state function on the ALU works fine and saving properly in-game seems to work, but I don't know how to access the folder where the actual .sav files are kept. If I could get in there, I could import my saves dumped from a cartridge or export my saves made on the ALU to be used in another emulator.

[@DalesToys]

You can unpack a UCE file with 7 zip to show the save folder

[@jeremoople]

@@DalesToys I've tried that, but there's nothing in it and it won't let me put anything in it.

[@TheRealJPhillips]

Exhausting. But necessary

Anyone know how to put pinball tables on the AlU

[@revneal]

It doesn't appear that any of these tools have been ported for use on a Mac. In fact, I can't find any of the needed software for creating collections and adding games through USB drives or streaming to a Legends Ultimate cabinet using a Mac. That is ... unless I were to run windows on my Mac ... something I don't want to do. Or, is there something somewhere that I'm missing?

[@TheBassAckwards]

I built a big collection a while back, but after I uploaded the firmware of my legends gamer, most of my roms no longer load. Looking at your tutorial, I don't remember ever having to edit csv files at all. Sadly, I can't find the files I used to build everything.

[@CptJistuce]

As the only source I've found that covers how to actually make UCE files, I was wondering if it is possible to change major emulation settings within a UCE file. Specifically, I want to set up vector games to render at the LCD's full vertical resolution instead of at the game's "native resolution" of 1024x768 or 640x480 or whatever. Native resolution isn't really a thing for vector games, and the preference for "pixel perfect" output I've seen demonstrates a horrible misunderstanding of how vector games work. A vector game rendered at 1440x1080 or 1280x960 would generate sharper and less aliased vectors that are closer to the reality of a vector machine than one rendered at 640x480 and then upscaled to 1440x1080, and that is the experience I want.

[@KWACanada]

I can't seem to get my UCE files to work in CoinOpsX. I loaded in the video file, marquee and logo, all of which show up and work. But when I click on the game, it doesn't load. I can get the game loading in the AddOnX tab, so I know the UCE actually works - just not in CoinOpsX. Anyone have any idea what I'm missing?

[@markmandue]

The new 8bitdo arcade stick does not work on this sadly...

[@sherekhangamedev]

God tier tutorial, the spreadsheet for me is really handy because I work a lot with Data Base and upload data in batches in the same way, but as you say, the other way is more worthy because all the flavor that adds to the experience, it looks part of it and not something that one just added.

[@PattonPlays]

Thanks man :)

Is that the stock marquee that is able to change the names of the game to the one your playing.?or do you have an aftermarket marquee like Pixelcade that is required for that feature..thx

It looks like they may be implementing a feature for a 3rd party marquee.

[@PattonPlays]

I don't have one. Mine is the marquee that comes with the cabinet.

[@yardman1977]

I thought that the stock marquee was just a piece of plastic with a legend’s ultimate name on there and then there’s a light in the back that lights it up so I’m not understanding how the stock marquee can hook up to the coin ops and display the current game that I’m playing on the coinops usb stick.

[@rickw2236]

@@yardman1977 I believe the marquee file changes the "marquee" on the image of the video game which is displayed as part of the menu. If you watch the CoinopsX portion at the end of this video, the arcade machine you see is just an animation . The video file controls what appears on the faux arcade screen and the marquee file controls what displays on the faux arcade marquee. The right-side of the menu contains the cover image and the name of the game, which you can dial scroll through. As you do, the arcade machine changes to reflect the video of the selected game and the marquee from it. Now, with that said, I assume the bitpixel marquees use the same file to display on the actual machine if you buy and install it.

[@The1uptriforce]

Is it honestly really worth doing this when you can just install a raspberry pi? That's a lot of steps just saying 😂

[@PattonPlays]

Well this feature just came out. Gotta give it time to be streamlined. Not a fair comparison when the pi has been out for years.
