Thanks OP! Anyone know the best way to get Ms. Pac Man on this? Probably the only way my wife won't kill me for making the purchase! HAHA!

If it is the same as ALUs, then you can add it using the addon program.

Ugh, I finally pulled the trigger on a Gamer Pro from GameStop 9 days ago for $161. I hope they will credit the $30 difference so I don't have to drive to a store to return.

**Update- no price match available for items previously discounted even though it arrived yesterday. Looks like this big box is going back out of principle.
I'm just taking my $161 back for a refund in store. I'll just consider myself a delivery person, delivering a ALP to a local GameStop for $25.

There's a link to a Reddit thread that will take you into a deep dive on "Sauce." If you want to play Ms. Pac-Man (and about 7,000 other titles), that's the place to start.

I also picked up the LGP when it was on sale for $99...that was an awesome deal.

I hardly ever use it because I already have 2 ALUs, but it did come in handy recently when my ALU 1.1 control deck stopped working. I swapped out the ALU deck with the ALP deOnck and everything worked fine, so that allowed me to confirm the problem was with the control deck (most likely the CTR board) and am now waiting for AtGames to tell me how much I'll have to pay for a new CTR board.

One thing I just don't understand is why AtGames didn't just put the damn spinners in the Legends Gamer control decks...or at least make it an easy add-on option.

I'm tempted to pick up the Legends Gamer Mini for use in a vertical screen cabinet, but the lack of trackball and/or spinner is still annoying since I'd need it for most of the vertical screen games I want to play.
Funny, I'm doing almost the opposite of what you're considering.

I will have this ALP to play on a pedestal in front of a 55" vertical TV. Then I'm taking my mini to play horizontal games on a 50" TV behind my bar.

Can these be used as a regular joystick 🕹️? I would love have a joystick that handles as nice as the "The Arcade" joysticks I used to have with my Amiga.

I enjoy mine. Have two.....one with a 4 directional restrictor plate installed. One as-is for 8-way joystick. Both connected to the same 'hockey puck' host.

Love the pro version, there are some very easy to follow tutorials out there for adding thousands of games to these. This is a no-brainer for any arcade gaming fans

Is there an easy way to add a spinner to these? Easy as in drilling a hole, mounting a spinner, and plugging it into some adapter or the unit itself.

I just bought the Tempest cabinet but would rather have this if I can add the spinner.
(I love me some Tempest if you can't tell).
Just wanna chime in. I'm not sure of the quality of the screens on the newer cabinets or if you're particular, but I found the colors of the stock Arcade 1UP screens very washed out. Tempest used vector graphics on a bright tube monitor, which is part of the appeal of Tempest to me.

I wouldn't recommend throwing in an old VGA monitor necessary (you'd need to add some wood supports to the cabinet for sure), but look into Arcade 1UP modding. You can purchase an outboard connector to use a 4:3 flat panel monitor which will make the experience MUCH better. Sorry I don't have a link handy, but there is an active community on Reddit and YouTube you could search. Enjoy!

Have it, love it - got the spinner mostly for Tempest as well (though I love a good game of Arkanoid from time to time). I don't know if I was unlucky, but I attempted to connect it to the header on the mainboard and no dice, had to run a USB cable to the puck for the spinner to work.

I've read conflicting versions - one that there are two versions of the mainboard with and without headers, another indicating that the firmware was compiled without support for the header, but my attempt at wireless spinner fell flat. Still love it though!

For the Legends Gamer Pro, there are 2 versions of the main board inside the control deck. My understanding is that while both versions have the connector for the OEM spinners, only one of them will actually work if you connect the OEM spinners. I can confirm there are two different versions of the main board because I have two LGPs and one had the older board and the other had the newer board, but I haven't tried plugging in the OEM spinners to the newer board yet.

Also: If you want to buy the OEM spinners, they are now $30 per spinner and it is a different part for the L and R spinners (one spinner has a single connector that plugs into the other spinner and the other spinner has two connectors...one as input from the other spinner and the other is an output to connect to the main board.

I have no idea if the Legends Gamer Mini has the same main board in it or not.

Also, I'm not sure how a button-hole spinner would be connected to the deck's main board unless you buy one that explicitly supports the ALU and includes the adapters.
there is actually nothing all that unique about a spinner. It is essentially a mouse with only one axis and just 4 pins - power, ground, and 2 for the directional. You can make a diy one yourself with a cheap rotary encoder or an old Atari paddle. Most of the button hole spinners are already native USB devices because they also include the USB encoder. you only need a USB encoder if your board (whether it is OEM or 3rd party) does not have native 4-pin for mouse or trackball.

the problem with a spinner on this unit is not knowing which rev board you will get and even if it has a 4-pin for the spinner there is no incentive for them to keep it active.

The warranty on these is 30 days for a reason. They have unstable firmware and substandard hardware. They are ok but just go in eyes open. This is not a high quality product and your odds of it just not working are high. Mine lasted 45 days. They told me return it to the retailer, so no wonder that retailers want them gone

Are we... like, cosmic twins?

That's about half-true. I was no fan of their PCB and ecosystem, but the joysticks and buttons are pretty good - not cheap at all. I also really like their stock switches - just the right weight for me personally. If someone is handy and into arcade sticks there's no reason to shy away from this.
