How you only have 11k subs is beyond me. You should have far more given the quality of content you produce. Keep up the good work!

[@cooltoy]

thank you very much, that means the world to me to hear! I try my best to put out some content is informative and and helpful. It's always an uphill battle with KZbin and their algorithm most days, but I enjoy making the content and I've learned not to stress about views or subscriber counts.

[@benjaminapeterson]

100% agree. Cool Toy's content, production values, and access are better than 90% of the other retro creators out there. Hope he continues to raise his profile.

[@therexershow]

Kyle Detweiler agree here.

[@KoalaTContent]

I'm glad consumer arcade cabinets are a growing market, I will own either one of these or a modded Arcade 1Up cabinet some day

[@cooltoy]

anything that helps bring back arcade games to their former glory will have my interest. I'm loving this arcade renaissance that we are currently seeing with companies as of late.

[@samfrito]

I am amazed how far Atgames has progressed. Time will tell of this unit catches on and keeps them in business. I am a fan of theirs and have several of their products mainly Genesis and Colecovision and Intellivision. Great video.

[@ericcochrane]

As usual you provide the best, most informative, and honest reviews and this is why you will continue to grow subscribers. With all of these extra costs I am leaning towards buying a second Street fighter cabinet and getting a arcademodup bundle and that should be under 500 and provide over a 1000 games. That will probably be a winter project. Thanks again cooltoy!

[@jaychoi7569]

Appreciate the info and review. I was considering purchasing one of these cabinets but I think I’ll stick with Arcade 1Up and just mod it.

[@gameware]

Found your channel after searching for info on the home arcade cab from atgames. Great video! Subbed without a second thought!

Is this not the best at home arcade system ever?! I'm debating on getting one from Sam's club, this is a dream come true.

[@Triggs-pg4kj]

You and Retro Ralph are the only 2 guys on KZbin that have this machine. I will stick to arcade 1up great video!

Lol I have it too don't forget the little guys lol

[@meechp123]

Thanks for making this video. I’m deciding on which path to take: mod or prebuilt, so this video was helpful in my research. It’s clear that this type of machine is where the retro and custom arcade industry is heading.

[@cooltoy]

Would you be interested in streaming your own games or adding your own roms on this arcade if it was totally FREE? Let me know in the comments below!

[@pactenn08]

# 11 how quick is boot up system when implementing dongle or 3rd party connection to play games?

[@cooltoy]

R. James Taylor II dongle boot up is super quick, the arcadenet games load really fast as well.

[@DoubleDguitar]

Absolutely would be. Especially with that 4-8 way option built into the system the way they have it.

[@pactenn08]

Great video, thanks for covering the key points in a concise manner - Excellent!

[@cooltoy]

Zehrfox thank you, hopefully the info helps some people that were undecided.

[@ZaireXIII]

The firmware updates should include notes and what they are doing. I have a sneaking suspicion the updates will be used to limit modability and user created hacks.

[@cooltoy]

ZaireXIII I agree completely, I wanna see a log of all the changes or updates that are happening each time I do a firmware update.

[@ragingtyga]

The fact they have a service that's using VMs to allow you to stream is super interesting, I'm glad that the local game streaming function is coming, this thing just has a crap ton of versatility that you're not getting with A1up as least for right now

[@cooltoy]

[@charleswimdog8447]

Awesome review. It's a major arcade game system. With this it is a big part to anyone mancave. I'm still partial to arcade 1up. Its perfect for retro and new school gamers. With everything you can upload, firestick... etc. It would never collect dust. Thanks for comparison of height with all 3 . That would take alot of guess work out.

[@cooltoy]

Charles wim dog yea I figured there would be lots of people that wanted to see the sizes compared.

[@jamescooper3571]

This is a great video and I thank you for it. But here are the most important questions for most of us: 1) in general, how are the controls? How do Tempest and Centipede play on this console compared to arcade 1up? 2) How is the monitor? How does it compare to arcade 1 up? 3) How is the emulation? Have you noticed any slow down in any games?

How was the emulation on these games? I know that in the past, AtGames were hit or miss, mostly with the Genesis titles having weird sound, while Atari stuff was pretty solid.

[@cooltoy]

All the emulation has been really good on the games I've tested thus far. They appear to have learned from past mistakes in that area.

Good info, but I'd also really like to know how the stick/buttons feel, and how easy it may be to swap them out.

[@cooltoy]

Dan Orlovsky the buttons and sticks feel decent, middle of the road quality. You can easily swap out the sticks as the stock ones are just Sanwa clones. The stock buttons are screw on type and have easy connects for disconnecting the wires really easily.

[@Danny_Rux]

Wow!! Thanks! This may be an addition to my game room!!

[@IronBuddha80]

How is the quality of the controls? Are the sticks cheap Chinese knockoffs or an actual brand. Same with the buttons? And also how are the spinners?

[@cooltoy]

Spinners are great. Buttons and sticks are not name brand, but I would describe them as a happy medium between the name brands and the bottom of the barrel knock offs.

[@bdjenky]

Great job with this, your info pushed me to buy this yesterday and I have already added some ROMS! Question about the joysticks as I’m unfamiliar with brands. Are the joysticks you post a link to a better quality, and what are the octagonal restrictors for? Thanks for all your effort!

[@cooltoy]

Brian Jenkins Sanwa joysticks are often considered the best brand available. The octagonal gates are typically something people who play a lot of fighting games prefer as it allows for smoother quarter circle movements

One thing that bugs me is the height issue of the controls. I think you mentioned it on stream. I’m wondering if you have gotten used to it yet or how you feel after a few days of messing with this cab now.

[@cooltoy]

I'm used to the control height personally. I've played this cabinet on a couple of 2 and 3 hour stretches just fine. I'm 6"1 if anyone is significantly taller than me, they likely would have some issues.

That was a much more positive video than I think this cabinet deserves. But I'm glad there's going to be at least some options to escape the horribly priced Arcadenet subscription.

I went to play a few days ago and it has a "version checking" notice for version 5.68.0. All of the buttons, joysticks etc don't work, so I can't navigate to download the update. I can't exit or bypass the menu. The strip with the volume buttons work, but everything else doesn't. I'm trying to reach out for support, but haven't had any luck.
