FYI, if you grab the simpsons cabinet ($199 currently) you can add endless games to it. For an additional $230 or so you can have a new deck with 6 buttons for each player and then you can add in blitz.

tl;dr for $130 more and about 2 hours worth of your time you can have a way better setup with thousands of games installed, but with simpsons graphics instead of blitz graphics and you won't have a stool.

What do people typically use these for? All the ones I've ever played at walmart are falling apart and the build quality doesn't seem great. These don't look like commercial arcade cabinets which can stand up to years of abuse. They look like cheap emulators. I can't imagine building a home arcade with a bunch of these.

I played an arcade legends cabinet and the build looked more legit but can't remember what games were on it.

$200 drop in the past 72 hours. $100 on day 1 and $100 on day 3. I'd say by Monday it's $199.

So $99 by Boxing Day then? Smilie

If only they can discount Golden Tee... I'd be a happy camper

I do not think Dell comes with Stool so doubtful. I have $150 giftcard from this simpson one so I am waiting for something on Dell.

Do you know if their is a good tutorial for that somewhere? I have the simpsons and would gladly pay the extra $230 with those mods. I did find some stuff when googling but I'm an idiot apparently and didn't see really any step by step tutorials.... the ones I saw didn't seem like they were for "1st time modders", which I am lol.
I am in same boat as you. I did adde retroarch and installed MAME and got some test games running (Metal Slug) but struggling with remapping controls. This is more of a pain than I was expecting but one day I will get there. I am tempted to wait until I can get the deck with the 6 button layouts so I can play almost any game but then I am not sure if I want to invest another $200 in to end up struggling to mode. I need to find a tutorial for armatures that shows very detailed steps as I am new to using retroarch.

Agreed, everyone says how it's so easy, and so fast, but they only link a youtube video that leaves out a ton of steps. Like windows loader, how to use retroarch.

I wish someone would spend an hour making a complete write up, considering how often it's mentioned here.

Oh, y'all are probably asking more specifically about his setup.

no. Sams is not on their list of sites they match.

The Atgames Legends Ultimate is a multi-cade. Meaning they don't try to mimic a specific arcade game cabinet. They sell a more expensive (This is being less true now that A1UP tries to sell new cabs for over $600) generic arcade machine that runs many different games. Their business model is for a more expensive machine that's more customizable out of the box and you have the ability to add as many games as you want. You can use it to stream PC games too. They also sell some cheap games and pinball tables. ircade is another company that makes a multi-cade. They sell a really solid machine at a low cost but the downside is that you can't bring your own games and have to buy from their store which only OK when games go on deep sales. Otherwise, i think selling old games for $10 is too much. The NEOGEO MVSX is another multi-cade but specific to mimicing the actual NEOGEO MVSX arcade machine.

A1UP goes for fewer games but put them in cabinets that brings out the nostalgia. They are getting better at cabinet design so that it's no longer some generic cabinet they sell for 199 but more closely align with the original cabinet represented by the games it comes with. Of course it's not a perfect. However, if you want to put together a home arcade (I doubt many people want to do that) with the feel of something like the old school arcade parlars, then A1UP is the only way to go. You can put 10 ALUs in a room, but they don't feel right at all. I have close to 20 different A1UP cabs and when they all turn on, the lights and sounds do take me back to my childhood.

Can you please link the video that shows how to load content to retroarch? Or how to remap the controls to work with the stock joystick/two buttons? Maybe you have to have dig to make it easy but as someone who is not familiar with retroarch. Lean Homes videos do not give some details for a novice unless I overlooked something.

This would be great except for the fact that the new control deck you're talking about is completely sold out. They don't even have any color variations available. Who knows when or how you can obtain one unless you design a new control deck yourself or buy a used one
