Thank you Mango Slice! My "guess" is that it would fit the ALU 1.0 unit, I've missed some of the history between v1.0-1.1 but unless the spinner diameter/layout changed it may work. I'll have to check with the expert, Glen 😎👍
Great video, thanks for sharing! I picked this wheel up at my local Microcenter based on this clip alone! I installed it on the dual arcade fighter board they sell there as well. I had already added the Atari Spinner controller and figured this would be a nice addition/upgrade, especially when I realized I tend to play more vintage racing games than the spinner type (Tempest, Arkanoid, etc). I can verify the GRS wheel fits perfectly with the Atari Spinner (saw in the comments where some were asking). I unscrewed the Atari spinner, slapped the new wheel on its stem, tightened it down with two allen screws, done. The only real trick was finding a comfy spot on the board to mount the wheel where it doesn't impede the other controls - I ended up putting mine in front (had to drill a new hole obviously) because that just felt better than trying to raise it higher as shown in this video or moving it way off to one side, etc. I LOVE this thing, it captures the old skool driving feel beautifully! It's heavy, sturdy, grippy and rotates buttery smooth. Now playing Power Drift, Pole Position, Ridge Racer, Out Runners, Super Off Road, etc, feel like their arcade versions at home! The spinner alone was "ok" and made them playable but this wheel really takes it to the proper level! Great product.
Awesome Derek, thank you so much for sharing the details about the installation and your thoughts on the GRS Arcade Steering Wheel! Glen has always brought us high-quality products and this wheel is another great example. Again, very much appreciate you sharing your opinion and tips here!
This is very cool. Was hoping the wheel would simply slip over, and clamp directly to the spinner, without having to remove the spinner head, but it's still very cool. I'll definitely have to look into this.
@@davidbellotti1110 No. I gave up on that, and never bothered with the wheel from GRS, as I'm not so sure it won't over torque the spinner, and cause damage.
Great work Jon! This channel really shows the stuff you won‘t find anywhere else. The additional adapter to increase the height (to allow access to the left-hand joystick) is a great add-on. Even tough it looks a bit shaky? Thanks for sharing the data of it, Jon. Also makes it look clean black when it‘s mounted.
It's a great steering wheel and so much fun to play these racing games I've not played in years. Thank you so much for watching all your support my friend!
That's awesome, it looks like you're enjoying it! That's the main thing, do what you love and are passionate about. I hoping to be able to make YT my job when I retire in about 13 years (if I'm still around). Hopefully by then the channel will have grown a little more.

They haven't been available, checked and now they are: www.microcenter.com/product/639956/atari-grs-arcade-steering-wheel-compatible-w-grs-spinner-v1-v2-and-grs-button-hole-spinner I'll add it to the video description as well. Happy Thanksgiving TampaTec!
On the Atgames Legend Ultimate you would probably not have use the 3d adapter if you change the joysticks to a Sanwa Detachable joystick lever that they sale at Focus Attack. Of course the cost goes up when you buy the joysticks and removing the old joysticks requires some skill hands and some knowledge. But also what does it cost to make the part from a 3D printer and finding some company or someone to make it for you? And I not sure I like the wheel wobble with the adapter.Thanks for the great video.
Often times your local library will 3d print small things like this for almost nothing or free. Check with your local library and see if they offer 3d printing services.
Looks superb Thanks for the video, What's the game at the end with the hover bike shooting the other bikes? That looks like a great game. Thanks for the video :)
That wouldn't be easily do-able. If you angle down the wheel would just spin all over the place. It would be possible with a set of gears, but it would be quite a contraption and likely noone would use it.
Hi, any chance you could confirm if apb and super sprint work with the spinner? Looking to pick up an ALU soon and hoping all these games work with the setup you demonstrated. Thanks as always for the videos!
Very welcome, thank you for watching! I didn't do "extensive" testing, but a quick try of Super Spring and apb worked using the spinner/wheel and buttons. I only tested a 1-player game. The guide I used to set it up was this one: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx . My apology for the slight delay responding, had to focus on my next video for a few days. Hope this helps!
Great video. I can only go to 192 km/hr (can‘’t find shift) on OutRun. What buttons are the low and high gear (so I can go past 192 km/hr). Button numbers for mapping? Thanks.
@WagnersTechTalk , I got the wheel, the issue is the base that I guess your supposed to put under the control deck to attach the wheel, do you know how much it would be to have the adapter you made ? Maybe I'll just return it. I'd hate to do that I really wanted to work
I don't have one to test, but I think it will only work with the V1 or V2 spinner. The buttonhole spinner uses a small diameter hole from what I understand and the larger one is needed for this print. However, the models could be updated to use it, most likely.
It hurts my heart to see all these cool things but can't find a way to buy them or they are not released yet, this and the 4 to 8 way changer. . my Microcenter doesn't show it on their website doesnt have it.
I thought the wheel would be in stores or on-line by now, talked to Glen about a week ago and it should be any day now. But given the whole shipping container thing just don't know.
@@WagnersTechTalk is there any way you could do a quick video when they do eventually drop? I'm trying to get my dad to make the 3d version, not sure if his machine is big enough. Thanks!
From what I understand from Glen, it will only be available from www.microcenter.com . I just checked to see if I could locate it and it's not showing up on their website yet. I'm not sure when it will be available, other than to say it's coming soon.
Great video Jon!

Oh that brings back memories of dropping plenty of quarters & tokens. Outrun was always fun!
Definitely want one of these, playing super sprint would be amazing.

I know this is an old post, but I was thinking the same thing. Have you had any luck doing that? There's a GRS sale going on now. Thank You!

@@ThomasGrillo Good point.
This is awesome!
I wish there was a wheel for the Legends Mini. Wooomp wooomp!
Nice review guy
Glad you enjoyed it

Great review. Now I just need @Glen to take my money 😉
Thank you and I hear ya! Should be coming soon to Micro Center, but not sure on the date/price yet.
Awesome

@@WagnersTechTalk Thank you Wagners! But I'm not sure I care for the wobble in the steering wheel with the 3D adapter.
Looks superb Thanks for the video, What's the game at the end with the hover bike shooting the other bikes? That looks like a great game. Thanks for the video :)
Thank you John and most welcome! The game you're referring to is called AB (Air Bike) Cop.
@@WagnersTechTalk thanks for that. Much appreciated 👍👍
What about making an adapter for the ALU that raises the steering wheel, but the angles it towards the user?
That wouldn't be easily do-able. If you angle down the wheel would just spin all over the place. It would be possible with a set of gears, but it would be quite a contraption and likely noone would use it.
Hi, any chance you could confirm if apb and super sprint work with the spinner? Looking to pick up an ALU soon and hoping all these games work with the setup you demonstrated.

@@WagnersTechTalk cool, ty sir! I look forward to the next one.
man I want a spinner.
Um sir you should create your own discord server so everyone can join but you don't have to but if you want to that would be better choice.
Thank you for your suggestion and for watching!
Great video. I can only go to 192 km/hr (can‘’t find shift) on OutRun. What buttons are the low and high gear (so I can go past 192 km/hr). Button numbers for mapping? Thanks.
Thank you Rey! If you press the AtGames/Menu button and go into button mapping you can re-map the buttons how you want.
@@WagnersTechTalk Okay, thanks.
Dont see the steering wheel on any site for sale... GRS's or Amazon.
Hi Aaron, you'd have to check with Glen. I have no insight into stock/availability of his products.
Does anyone know if they were able to use this on the spinner that is on the Rec Room Masters 32inch cabinets , ultimate emulation plus control panel?
Perhaps someone else will respond, I don't have that cabinet.
@WagnersTechTalk , I got the wheel, the issue is the base that I guess your supposed to put under the control deck to attach the wheel, do you know how much it would be to have the adapter you made ? Maybe I'll just return it. I'd hate to do that I really wanted to work
A steering wheel needs to be facing towards you.
This setup look odd
Here is another option you might like (it was developed long after this video): ruclips.net/video/NQjPc4EXypU/видео.html
Does your spacer adapter work for the buttonhole spinner adapter as well?
I don't have one to test, but I think it will only work with the V1 or V2 spinner. The buttonhole spinner uses a small diameter hole from what I understand and the larger one is needed for this print. However, the models could be updated to use it, most likely.
It hurts my heart to see all these cool things but can't find a way to buy them or they are not released yet, this and the 4 to 8 way changer. . my Microcenter doesn't show it on their website doesnt have it.
So where do we get the larger GRS arcade steering wheel? I can't find it at Microcenter or anywhere else. Thanks!
I thought the wheel would be in stores or on-line by now, talked to Glen about a week ago and it should be any day now. But given the whole shipping container thing just don't know.

Hi regarding the Grs wheel, where can I get one to ship to UK ?
Hi Wayne, you may want to check with Glen here: www.glensretroshow.com/contact . I don't know the answer.
@@WagnersTechTalk thanks mate I appreciate that 👍
Where can purchase this...Good video
From what I understand from Glen, it will only be available from www.microcenter.com . I just checked to see if I could locate it and it's not showing up on their website yet. I'm not sure when it will be available, other than to say it's coming soon.
@@WagnersTechTalk OK Thank for your help
Will this work on ALU 1.0?
Most likely, I only have the 1.1 so can't be 100% sure.
