The most versatile multicade on the market! If your friends have arcade 1 ups don't show them the Legends Ultimate... you'll make them feel bad 😁
the value is definitely there for what you get... plus the continued support by atgames to make this cabinet even better 😁
@@Dsuds23 So glad I got mine Thursday before they sold out I would have been one sad camper. I'm enjoying the heck out of it.
Yes, many are now running out off room buying 1up for their arcade. I can see some advantage with a few set ups when you have friends over, each person can play a machine.
I think I would buy two or three Legends Ultimate Arcade Cabinets then customize each with a very cool theme.
@@quantumfx2677 yeah that would be great. I want to throw a SFV theme on mine. Looks like $250 minimum for the artwork. Have you seen cheaper?
To anyone who sees this in the comments, have a wonderful day & remember you are Awesome😊. Thanks for the video Steve!
3+ years later this video is still accurate on the machine I just purchased from AtGames. Thank you very much for posting this!
Where do get the ROMs from please
@@lewisbennett567 It is illegal to distribute ROMs. You have to look them up yourself.
Just as you said, I had watched several videos on adding mame roms to your Legends Arcade. Same programs, same setups, but I had no idea how to add the correct rom file, as the videos I watched did not have the games in zip files. Your video walked me straight through how to do it after finding what rom I wanted. THANK YOU SO MUCH! GOT THIS ALL SETUP ON CHRISTMAS BECAUSE OF YOU!
I have subscribed and thank you again! Most helpful video about this subject thus far.
Thanks for the video, lots of info not available elsewhere. I had been debating on whether or not to buy this, Walmart just got some more back in stock. After reading the comments and seeing all of the problems people are reporting, I decided instead to go with the Recroommasters cabinet with the emulator pro controller hooked up to a raspberry pi. Great build, easy to set up, as many games as I want (I'll never get the "low system storage" error), I can fully customize it, and zero problems since day one. Yes, it's definitely more expensive but it's also 100% frustration free which, to me, is worth the extra money. I also got one of their virtual pinball cabinets which is AWESOME. Anyway, love your videos, keep up the great work.
Thanks man, only tutorial that has every link needed in the description. Subbed.
I was unable to get this yesterday from Sam’s club ( sold out:(. Oh well I’ll get it eventually- so for now I’ll have to enjoy Golden Tee 1 up arcade machine. Great video.
i was trying for over a month. then I saw they were gonna have it at the one day sale last saturday. my mom got in the door the first 10 minutes and there was only 4 in stock. she got one and a lady next to her got 1. so that was 2 cabinets gone in the first 10 minutes they were open.
This is the machine I've been waiting for. An arcade cabinet for Mame at a good price. And I don't even have to work with wires or anything. Simply plug a damn USB into it with my chosen games. I just pre-ordered atgames for Jan 31st shipment. Damn excited.
You did a very thorough task of showing us how to add our own MAME games, thank you. But this comment/opinion is not aimed at you, but at ATGames. What a ridiculously long and convoluted process to add a simple game to the system. I mean it took about 5-7 minutes for a knowledgeable person (Restalgia) to add one game and had to jump thru hoops to find and load one game's art, create properly named folders etc. I have about 300 of my own games to add. So 300 games at 5 minutes per game = about 1500 minutes. 1500 minutes is 25 hours! What? Why can't the software in the machine go out to the web and search on its own and simply let you add a rom into a 'Rom' folder on your USB disk and voila, done? The machine's software should build everything it needs and put it where it needs to go based on the name of the Rom. If we as customers accept this process, it may just get worse down the road. Please note I completely understand how to add a game, but young people or newbies are gonna have trouble. Oh well, nice video though Restalgia, much appreciated.
maybe copyright . I agree it takes forever. I am just gonna hook up my pi
Sometimes you actually do have to do some work. It's worth the effort, I have created (and failed at many) about 50 working games and I love it, both the process and the end result. This includes MAME 2003, MAME2010, NES, SNES, and Sega games.
Just picked up mine Friday from Walmart that I pre-ordered and I have been messing around with it since adding my own MAME roms. I'm not sure if this was covered but I have found out the following:
01) You can title your game rom whatever you want in the game title field in the Add-On Tool, but make sure you do not put certain special characters in the UCE file name. It will prompt you if you try to use a colon ( : ), but not a punctuation mark ( ' ). If you use the punctuation mark like in titles such as: Rush 'n Attack or King of Fighters '95, etc., the rom will NOT load. Also, if you use a ( & ) symbol in the game title field instead of the word ( and ), it will show as a question mark ( ? ) in the game title field on the menu, but will not affect game play.
02) You can now add over 100 roms to your flash drive and they will all display in multiple pages on the Legends Ultimate. I have 195 currently. (With current firmware 4.0+ I believe)
03) Some games run into slow-down such as: Hard Drivin' & Arabian Fight. Some are still playable, but the music slows and some of the action may too.
04) Some games that use split screens/duel screens can still be played if you config them in the options such as: Punch-Out!! and Warrior Blade.
05) Some games have their screens slipped to the side and can be config in the options too to flip them the correct way to play.
That's it for now. Love this system!
BTW- Has anyone found a Donkey Kong rom that works yet on MAME 2010 core? I have tried two and both load, but then lock up.
I found the Donkey Kong rom on Romsformame.com
But it worked for me on the 2003
@@sr.toastybuns302 Yesterday I downloaded the 2003 MAME core and the rom I had did work and didn't lock up.
This was perfect! I was able to load my old mame files thanks to your tutorial. Sure do appreciate it.
how do i download the mame files from that browser page he was on
Definitely making note of this one, in case I'm ever able to get the Legends Ultimate. Thanks. :)
They have them in stock at game stop right now
@@searchingforanswers1589 Cool. I'll have a look. Thanks.
Can't say that I'm a fan of golf though...thanks for the tutorial and the links, some AWESOME emulator cores there! The link for the thumbnail packages is dead though...got an alternate link?
Wow, thank you! I should be able to try this tomorrow.
A great video and very helpful! Thanks so much for the review! :)
You folks are absolutely rocking it. Keep it up!
@@Restalgia Truly Appreciated!
Do you sell the games already loaded
What a wonderful Tutorial - thank you for this!
Awesome job with the video. It's nice having a in depth how to guide to reference. My legends arcade will be here by December 31st ... hopefully 😊
Thanks for this video! You made it a very easy process. What core would you suggest is best with MAME arcade games?
Great post and thank you for all the info! One question I have is knowing which core is best for which game. Is there some where I can find that information or someway to know based on the game ROM?
Thank you for this! Super easy to follow!
No worries man, happy the video helped
Great video! And thanks.
Where are people getting the cores? I see you link to one in a GitHub repo and I've seen others in dropbox. Are they being pulled from the machines themselves?
I believe those cores were provided by atgames, but there are members in the community working to get other retroarch cores ported and properly optimized
Great video!!! Does this method also work for the standard gaming board as well?
HOLY COW THIS VIDEO IS A GODSEND. SUB'd
Great video, thanks for walking through all this. I’ll be getting the ALU Mini 3/4 cab and very excited for it. I know this is a dumb question, but is there anyway to do this process with a MacBook Air instead of PC? I assume there isn’t but figured I’d ask...
thanks for making a walkthrough you are my number one jit for this
This tutorial was a good send for a newb like me thank you! Which emulator core would you select for scummvm games like monkey island etc?
Hello just a heads up the Thumbnail Packages link does not seem to be working...
Thumbnail Packages link doesn't work. Is there somewhere I could find the thumbnail pack?
"runs on its own file system" that translates in my head as....
HOOK UP RASPBERRY PI
Thanks for the working cores!!!
Are the ROMs you are using the same as coin-ops? I have a problem with coin-ops not saving high scores on 99% of the games which to me is the main replayability Factor. The graphics also seen better quality than coin-ops is there any difference? Thanks
Thanks for the tutorial Restalgia! I've been able to get my gba stuff to work, but I can't seem to get Mame games to work properly. When I boot up a game it shows some fuzzy snow, then a black screen saying factory default. So far tried robotron and joust with the two different Mame cores you suggested. Do I need to unzip the rom files or is there another Mame core you would suggest? Thanks
I am new to this and I think I may have missed something. Where do I get the ROMS from? Is that a separate website like coolroms?
you can, but if you don't want a cease and desist, you might want to invest in something like a retrode if you own the games
Fantastic Video, thank you!
Where did you find your Bezel Art?
I ended up just doing a google search and found a bunch of user made bezel art and the needed to scale it down to the correct size for this machine
@@Restalgia thanks I'll keep looking.
Oddly enough the box art image files for Dungeons & Dragons Tower of Doom don't seem to want to display on the Cabinet when selecting them, but show fine in the add-on tool
@@davidlockwood8127 I just posted this in a fb group...
PSA: I am not sure if anyone has already discovered this... I have been playing around with the game add-on tool and noticed some of my games were not displaying properly in the main menu. You could still click them and play the game, but in the menu, the artwork would not display, and the title of game was displaying as AddOn_insertgamenamehere.UCE.
Anyway, after about an hour of playing around swapping roms and images, to no avail, I realized all the games had something in common. They all used special characters like "&" or had an apostrophe in the name. Once those were removed, and the UCE was re-built, everything worked normally.
For example, The Adventures of Batman & Robin, needed to be changed to The Adventures of Batman and Robin. Additionally a game that said something like "Steve's" needed to be changed to "Steves" for it to work. It appears that periods and dash do not effect the files in the same way.
Hopefully that saves people a bit of grief!
@@Restalgia thanks man! That did it!
Is this video still a valid/preferred way to add new games to ALU? Seems like it might be outdated, but it's definitely the easiest to follow video I've found. I've never done this type of thing before, so I'm a bit lost as to the best place to start.
Thank you for this video. Will this work with my AT Games Legends Gamer Pro Wireless Arcade Fight Stick also, not just the standup Arcade Cabinet?
Yep
Thanks for all the help!
Did I miss something? I can't seem to find the bezel artwork :(
or roms. anyone got a link for ROMS for the games we own.
@@freebird1963 Yeah. Right. Try again.
@@phairfan69 Try right again ? Get legal stuff for the stuff we own. ? sounds like our use to stealing while in mommys basement
@@freebird1963 it is illegal acquisition of roms. Doesn't matter if you own a physical copy.
If you knew anything about copyright law, you'd know that the license for physical games allows you to a physical cooy.....and in some cases, to make a backup of it.
It doesn't allow you to download a rom off a Warez site.
If I ever finish filming my unboxing review for mine I will def give you a shout out!
Perhaps I am an idiot, but I don’t seem to understand one thing. Do the ROMs have to be MAME in order to work with the MAME core?
I realize there are other cores, but you used the MAME core for an FBA game. So what is the correlation there?
Hello, new subscriber here. Does this same process applies for the new model? I have many games so I’m thinking doing one at a time will take me hours 😊
Yep, works for all atgames products
Just jumping in to Legends Ultimate Arcade and love it. Started the exercise of adding my own games beginning with Donkey Kong. Used mame2003 core, looks good but doesn't have all the sounds .. when I used mame2016 core, I get the sounds but it's laggy and crackling sound. Is there some type of index on which cores to use for various games. I'm hoping to not take hours getting all my favorite games added.
have you tried the mame2010 core?
@@Restalgia When I generated the UCE file with mame2010 core, it will start up but locks up and crashes in different spots. mame2003 and mame2016 are the only cores I could find that create any stability.
Is there support yet for Atari roms? I ask this because I'm a huge Atari fan and would love to play more games on this. Thx!
showtime23: I don't quite understand the differences in the emulator core file types. I know that the add-on tool only wants/works with libretro.so format. So that being said, is there a libretro.so core for PS1 or n64 roms? Do I need to some how converts the core .exe that I found for these systems to .so?
What size usb flash drives would you recommend? Should i use more than 1 usb memory drive?
Great video but like the other that have posted a similar video you a te missing one step. From what page do you download your MAME Roms? Let see if you at least answer unlike the other’s.
That step has be taken out due to legal reasons. I am not allowed to even mention where you can find the files. That being said, if you do a google search you should be able to find a COOL place to find ROMs from...
Thank you. I’ll find my own source.
This is the way.
@@Restalgia or they might Archived in the Organization
@@rafaelrodriguez3400 this is the way!
The thumbnail link is showing "page not found" can you upload a new one?
Does TMNT 2 player or Simpsons 2 player work? Thank you for the upload
It works
@@ClentonClarion How do you get them to work? Do you have to take the parent roms and put them in the 2p zip file? Because you can only choose one rom file as far as I can tell.
@@snowblindu In my case, for the Simpsons 2 player, I found a simpsn2p.zip rom in the MAME_2003-Plus_Reference_Set_2018 and used the 2003plus emulator referenced here and it just worked.
Hey. Great video. I think I have done everything right but the add on option doesn't show for me. Is there another step or does this mean I have messed up somewhere?
I heard that for CoinOPSX to work the USB needs to have two partitions. This is a recent change. It is possible that for the add on tool the same needs to happen. If you decide to try this make sure you have a back up 😊
hi bro, very good video just one question, i did everything you said but in the field that i most select the core it says that " selected emulation core is not an arm aarch 64 compatible library file" and that happend with absolutely all cores i downloaded, i downloaded i think all but still the same, can you help me?
Do you have to convert one game at a time or can you do it in groups?
One game at a time.
There are no zips with the thumbnails anymore, the link to thumbnails ends with 404 error
Great tutorial video, I have firmware 5.61 but no mame rom plays. Including the Golden Tee. I followed everything to the dot but always fails.
Any help please?
Thanks for the video. I've done about 15 games by the instructions provided in the video. So far I can only get 2 of them to work, so I think I am doing it right. I've tried both Mame cores so I think it may be the roms. Is there a way to find compatible roms or is there something I am possibly doing wrong?
Can you do a video on how to add NES, Atari, and Sega? I am having trouble with maybe the "Core" that I am using or the way my file is set up. I would like to expand beyond MAME games! Thanks!
I have a new ALU and I uploaded 5.68 firmware. I load games exactly as shown by the Cabinet owners, I use exactly the same programs, but my games are only seen by ALU, but they cannot load, do you know where the problem could be?
I got an atgames legends mini on the way, gamestop had them for 50 bucks! so I was curious about modding solutions cus I know the stock unit only comes with like 100 games... so might have to install this on it!
One more question, are the save states for the games saved to the USB Stick itself? I am curious how that works since I use the save states right now as a way of saving my high scores, and want to make sure they are kept intact if I take the stick out and reinsert it.
Hi there, I know it should being the ssme system, but just in case, does this also work for the controllers-only systems they have? (Gamer Pro and Gamer Mini)
could I add games to my ALU via mac without having to code on terminal to support the microsoft file?
Is it usually supposed to take a while to load? I keep pressing on my game (Mappy) and it just says "Loading..."
Should I use CHD or Rom files? Having a tough time getting NFL Blitz 2000 to work...
where dp u get game roms? Are we missing something?
he cant say without getting this deleted.
So you have to add these ROMs one by one? Is there any way to do all of this in bulk?
It has to be done one by one unfortunately
Is this old school one by one the only solution out there yet? Isn’t there a zip like pi has to get an all in one solution out there ?
Could I ask if you know if you can upgrade your graphics on a arcade build thanks
I'm having a problem playing some older Mame Roms, Tempest, Battle Zone, Asteroids and Asteroids Deluxe. Tried the 2003 and 2010 Cores, no luck. Any tips?
My usb slot doesn’t read the usb stick? Also when I switched to another usb stick, it locks up the control deck and the buttons and controls are stuck until I remove the usb stick? Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
I am assuming this would work too with current gen arcade games that have online?
Great tutorial and thank you!
i just have one problem.
What to i do wrong becouse when i put the usb stick there is no addon showing on menu? My coinops and everything works well but i cant add my another games.
Thank you
Where do you get ROMS from please? I am stuck
First off thanks for the tutorial. Just what my Ultimate Legends needed. Now, what about the best emulator/core for a N64 game...Golden Eye was so much fun. Thanks?
I'm a little late to the party, and it seems like the box art repository is no more. Do you have an alternative site for those?
Would you be able to sell a flash drive preloaded? I would buy one if it saves all that time. Let me know if your willing to sell a preloaded flash drive. Thanks
Neo Perez I’m also in for this
They are all over Etsy already. Go for around $50
Sorry folks, I wouldn't because it would be illegal.

I just got my new Legends Ultimate arcade. but i am having a problem with the downLoads shown here.
I want to load my old CD games to USB. mostly Pinballs games. why don't I see the downloads that are shown in the great video.
can u do updated version for 5.68 version of the atgames legends cabinet
Hi, is there a list of arcade games matched up to the best version of core to run them anywhere? Thanks :)
You will match the core with the rom set of the arcade games. So for example, some mame rom sets are specific for mame2003
@@RestalgiaOk thanks :)
Great video, thanks but only at a 50% success rate in making arcade games work on the ATGames cabinet (via MAME). Tried different cores, but really hit and miss. Anyone know how to get sound effects to work in Galaga? I have the sound files zipped up. Can't get Ms. Pac-Man or Tapper to work, tried different cores and I know the ROMs are good. Wish it wasn't this difficult. Any suggestions?
What buttons would you recommend? I need to replace button A for my legends ultimate
So its possible to add vertical shmups?
And play in tate mode
Only issue i'm having is getting the playstaton roms with multiple files to play. I'm leaving them in a zipped folder, do i have to convert them into a single file?
Is it possible, with the right Core (and maybe a needed bios?) to run N64 games on the Legends Ultimate?
Do you have to extract the ROM zip files before you use it in the AddOn Tool?
I haven't been able to get mine to work yet. Running beta 4.0.1. The video shows him adding the ROM as a zip file, which is how I've always used them on the past.
Everything works except for the cores I can't get the roms to appear? I know I'm a year late but any help would be appreciated.
Thank you. You mentioned the mame 2012 emulator core for Golden Tee. Is that core downloadable as well and what is it called?
It should be mame2010 :)
Restalgia got that one. But you said name 2012 for golden tee. Did you mean mame 2010?
@@mabbaticchio yep

Hello, thank you so much for share all these useful info. May I ask how to add and play neog geo games like kof 97 and metal slug? I have tried all Final Burn alpha and mame cores, but they are not working.
Neogeo has it's own core. I dont think it's been optimized yet, but it will come down the pipeline eventually 👍
@@Restalgia Thank you for your quick reply. Please post a quick notice when Addon Neogeo games become available on this cabinet. Really appreciate!
I've managed to get a lot of Neo Geo games to with with the MAME 2003 plus core.
Drew K That is good. I tried this core mame2003_plus_libretro.so, with kof 97 rom. Not working. Any thought?
@@longwang2348i haven't tried kof but it may be the rom file? Archive.org is a great resource if you search for MAME 2003 you should be able to find a working one.
Hello, i'm a french guy. thanks for your video. do you think it's possible to do the same with the legends gamer pro (it's easiest to find it in France) ? thank you in advance.
Yes it is the same
@@Restalgia thank you for this good news😀
I'm not to good with this kinda stuff, but I got to the point where I'm supposed to enter the game ROM into the addOn tool. Where are, or how do I get the actual game ROMs? I've followed this video step by step, and there's no mention of, or link to, where the actual games are.
Great Video except the thumbnail pkg link does not work!!
can you add roms with CHD files? for example, Road Blasters? Gauntlet Legends?
I need to know this also. VERY important.
Do you have a resource to download bezels formatted for the Atgames machine?
the beleze project is a good resource, but you will need to resize in MS Paint or something like that
I tried to get the thumbnail link but it said 404 not found
I added over 300 UCE files to a USB stick and the cabinet gives me a message basically saying "Low system storage, unable to load all add ons due to system storage and to move some add on to another drive". Have you received this message and how do I fix it?
Yes, you have too many games and its causing issues with the internal memory with cached data. Atgames is aware of this and looking into a solution. For now, you may not want to have more then 100 games at a time
@@Restalgia ooooh ok, glad you told me how many games to add on a USB stick. That was my next question 😂. I have the games in a 128g USB stick, so I basically don't need that size and can get a 32g or smaller USB..right?
Im new to this. Can anyone please point me in the right direction as to where to actually get the Roms? Thanks!
Thanks for the Links to the images. That helps big time! Do you know when Mame2010 will be added to atgames legends?
It's already available. I have been using it for a bunch of roms :)
@@Restalgia awesome! Do you have a link to the mame 2012 core? I already ordered this on atgames website. Since it can play Golden Tee I no longer care about the arcade1up golden tee machine. This is the ultimate machine IMO.
