It's is bit of a pain, but I managed to get the coin ops 4.5 working. It's very well done and seriously makes the system a heck of a lot more fun.

I LOVE the game Crazy Climber and played it in the arcades ages ago. Felt incredible to play it with two arcade joysticks. And here I thought the Switch had nailed the best control system after all these years.

Still have hundreds of games to play/go through.

My old Xi arcade with a BigBox frontend for Mame can be buggy and error out. Same with my 128gb retro pie image. So far smooth sailing with this setup. Smilie

I think eventually I will try to hook up my retro pie build to it and give it a whirl.

Very much looking forward to playing Crazy Climber!!!

My first order (3/13) never made it out of the warehouse; it was canceled five days later. My second order (3/20) was supposedly shipped from LA but FedEx hasn't updated the status since 3/23 and now it says it's "Delayed". Wondering if I'll *ever* receive one of these!

I wanted a 4 way joystick for both sticks...because I have two consoles.

I installed this last night (just 8 screws at the bottom to take it apart)

This worked like a charm for me. Really liking the gameplay with a 4 way joystick.

Thanks joeH1974 !

You're welcome! Glad I could help. Smilie

How does the extended warranty work? Being the cost of the until is only $99, are they going to reimburse the total cost or they going to replace it with a new until? I never dealt with WM warranty before.

I mean is it even worth getting the warranty?

I've never dealt with them either, but due to the fact that the manufacturer has an apparent bad reputation for post-sale support, OEM parts are hard to come by, it appears to be in a clearance sale (signaling EOL of this model), and the manufacturer doesn't seem to really offer any repair services, as it only comes with a 30-day warranty from them, odds are any claims under the WM extended warranty would just result in getting a refund of the purchase price. Whether or not it's worth paying $8 to possibly get $99 back if it fails, and possibly having to fight with them on that (rarely do we hear great things about warranty claims processes), that's up to you.

Who has upgraded their Game Pro joysticks yet ? or just the restrictor gate perhaps? if so link the ones installed

I've installed bat tops and changed the springs inside to 6 lb. Prefer the grip of the bat top, but don't feel much difference in tension with the spring

Interesting critical review by guy767: there's way to make things better from what you mentioned, and you have to accept the limitations of arcade controllers in general. This controller was meant to be a great cheaper authentic size alternative to the $500 cabinets(for only $99). And the ability to mod controllers with Sanwa parts and connect it to a PC/other device instead of the puck is the big advantage here.
.

It's the poor emulation of SNES and CPS2 games, slow performance of CoinOpX and Bluetooth being unusable due to lag/latency is what's preventing me from recommending this overall. Also, I find the trackball very inaccurate and a pain to use; I'm guessing though this is because I'm using Bluetooth.

I was hoping to enjoy this on my couch wirelessly but due to the slight delay that the controls have and the massive size of the stick that's not going to be possible without making some compromises and additional purchases. (USB extension cable, a USB hub and purchasing a quality stand)

Having playlists for CoinOpsX does help however with loading and navigating and I would dare say they are a must if you have multiple rom sets. Navigating one giant menu with everything mixed together is virtually unusable IMO.

I created playlists for most home console sets that are available at the Internet Archive if anyone is interested; I'm not sure why they are not included in most of the default packages. I followed the directions for playlist creating at the AtGames website [atgames.net]. I attached them to this message; just unzip the folders in your cox folder (That's what she said laugh out loud

). I was a bit lazy though and only created a few playlists art/marques.

You can switch playlists via 1p "X", save games to the Favorites Playlist via 1p "Y" and remove games from Favorites via 1p "B". You can also quickly navigate to the next letter in a playlists via the "R1" and "R2" buttons. Playlists are the saving grace for me; without them I would find CoinOpX just too cumbersome and slow to use.

Thanks tiggard. I'm loving my unit. Seems like a keeper. Also we have 30 days to pay for the extended warranty. $8 2yrs, or $12 3yrs.
Rdog, thanks for the idea to take the unit apart and tinker with wires under the hood, if there are Bluetooth issues or buttons not working correctly.

For those asking about a USB hub, it's recommended to get one so you can hook up the controller directly with least possible input latency/lag connected to the puck.
Useful tips eg.: USB to USB extension cord, USB hub, power switch, buy a stand

+Lots of YouTube vids how to setup Coinopsx and the one below was most people for me to get started. But plenty more videos to learn more about legends gamer pro, addonx, etc. And this entire thread is filled with useful posts. It's actually worth skimming through most of the pages.
https://youtu.be/oaFiWJGXIFE
An important Coinopsx playlist tip mentioned by FUBBhar: press X on P2 side to cycle through playlists, so all games are not mixed together, or you can view by genre or favorites lists. You can make more textfile lists and edit them with more games on your coinopsx flashdrive.

Like the power on/off switch. Placed my order for that !! Thanks

Is it possible to use the puck with the 8bitdo Arcade stick?

This is the set I'm most likely gonna pickup, still chatting with TornadoTerry about Happ sticks vs IL Eurosticks and fitment on our Legends Gamer Pro.

Does anyone have a reccomendation for a good AC adapter to use on the controller? Seems odd they don't give you one that fits the 12V output.

Look around your house for AC adapters with a barrel plug, if it fits it'll charge.

The current buttons are already Happ-like (click, concave). You could save some $$ if you just get the sticks.

Uhhhh, I would strongly urge people to use extreme caution following that advice. Generic power plugs are not universal in terms of "if it fits it will charge". That's a good way to fry your electronics or cause issues with them.

The non-USB charging port on the back of this device says it requires 12V. So, in addition to finding a plug that will fit, you need to make sure whatever AC adapter it is connected to provides exactly 12 volts. The wattage/amps are not specified on the control deck (outside of the 5V/2A on the bottom for the USB charging), though it may be provided in the manual (I haven't looked). While you ideally want to provide the minimum it requires, it will only draw what it can, so going over in this regard isn't problematic, and if you go under it may either not charge or just take a lot longer. But plugging in something over 12V can easily damage/destroy the unit. Going under 12V could damage it, or more likely just have it not function properly.

So yeah, be careful and only use a charger that meets the requirements of the thing you are plugging it into.

I used an ActionTec power adapter - CDS024T-W120U (it's a spare adapter I happen to have had on hand for my DSL modem). Output is 12VDC 2A. The plug fit perfectly. Can't speak to future safety of using it, but it charged it up the first time without issue.

That sounds like it should work perfectly fine -- because it is 12V and the amps should be more than adequate as well. But if that was a 24 or 48V charger, you would probably be a little upset right now.
