Some items to note are that the default warranty sucks (so I'd recommend using a credit card which extends it) and AtGames support isn't great. I personally haven't had issues, but it's something to be aware of. The height is pretty good, but if you're somewhat tall (I'm 6' and it effects me), you will probably want stools or a riser (I got some sick Star Wars ones from Home Depot, A1Up also has cool ones). Although it supports some light guns, there's a huge shortage due to the ongoing chip shortage and no sign of them coming soon. Finally note the built in chip can only play through the mid 90s type games/emulators and you'd need an external PC for anything more modern (particularly anything 3D).
Overall I would definitely recommend it for anyone who still has nostalgia for classic gaming/arcades. I had been planning on building one at some point, but with the crazy price of wood, that plan had been put on hiatus. This has now totally filled that desire and probably for a lot cheaper than DIY.

"These machines are ¾ scale of traditional arcade machines. When used with the riser, controls fall at the same height they did in the original arcade cabinets.
Dimensions are: 45.8" H x 23" D x 19" W"
AtGames Legends Ultimate:
"Full size home arcade: 29.53 x 21.65 x 66.44 inches"
The AtGames cabinet is obviously substantially bigger and is close enough to "full-size" for any reasonable person to believe their claim.
So the two player controller was 99??? Man wish I scored that.
Is this basically the same thing minus the screen/cabinate of the one on sale???

Just check out YouTube and search ALU and Sauce and start understanding what this bad boy can do!

That's what I did and I am loving this thing. I'm in my early 40s and this is right in my wheelhouse.
My understanding of the technical details is that it is already using emulators and the UCE API lets you add ROMs and specify the emulator to use (or include the emulator in the UCE file...with some limitations I'm sure since emulators with higher-level hardware requirements wouldn't work). Of course if you are just getting UCE files built by others (and there are many to choose from), then you don't need to deal with those technical details. You just need to learn how to get the UCE files on your flash drive (and how to properly format your drive if you are also going to use it for storing downloaded games/app from AtGames from their AppStoreX section).
That's what I really like about the ALU...all of the hacking stuff you need to do with systems like the A1Up cabs is supported out of the box without any modifications. It does far more out of the box than the A1Up cabs (and many others) and can easily be extended to do much more without any hacking...you just need to do some research on how to use UCE files. You can even connect other systems like a Retropie or PC using the HDMI/USB ports and use it as a control deck and display for those systems so you don't have to build a full cabinet for them.
While not perfect in every way, it's the best option I've seen anywhere near this price point for what you get out of the box and what you can do to expand it with minimal effort.
