How is the ATgames Legends? I keep seeing the full units pop up on a local auction site. Seems the Sams Club run sold terribly.I'm doing the basement now and I already picked up my first thing:
$190 including the stand is not bad I

Nah these ones weren't from there. One was imported from KC in Cali, guy just shipped 3 and decided to sell one. The other one guy said he got from an arcade that closed down about 15 years ago.Ah, so that's where the cabs/boards from the arcade in P-Mall went lol

Join this discord. It's the Arcade Otaku discord. When in message FuryForce. He has a crate on the way. I believehe charges approx $1500USD
That makes more sense honestly, I was mostly just hoping that the good arcade cabs from there had a good home.Nah these ones weren't from there.

They most likely did! Ontario has a fairly big arcade scene.That makes more sense honestly, I was mostly just hoping that the good arcade cabs from there had a good home.

Look up Sauce V5.0. You'll need a 128GB card tho.hmm gonna have to read up on it. I am using coinopsX with it and it is pretty good.
Nice! It's an awesome lil cab.
That's awesome, haha. How'd you get that marquee done?
Oh wow, how did you enable that? Is that on retropie?I bought an SF2 cab when these first came out but modded it with a Raspberry Pi. The scanline filter makes the games look way better on that LCD screen.
Yeah, it's a setting on retropie. I followed this tutorial:
I built one of these and it was a ton of fun. A perfect weekend project with an end result that's robust, sturdy and cool to look at. Your mod looks sick as well. It seems the one you linked has new default artwork. I wonder if it's a new model made to be more compatible with the latest Pis.This is on the FedEx truck awaiting delivery to my home.
Which I intend to mod into this.
Thank you! I just built it last night and it was a ton of fun! Such a cool little build. Perfect size for me right now since I don't have the space and a few little whipper snappers running around so space is very limited. I love that I can just put this up on a shelve.I built one of these and it was a ton of fun. A perfect weekend project with an end result that's robust, sturdy and cool to look at.

Mine has the old design here. The rainbows are off-center instead of coming together in the middle. There also looks to be some new screws attaching the control panel to the cabinet.
Anyway, enjoy building it! I'm sure I've forgotten some things I wished I knew beforehand, but the official YouTube tutorial is pretty solid. If you're going to be adding buttons and such for the SEGA mod I'm sure you know your stuff already.
This might be a bit off topic but as someone who has some interest in playing some Arcade games, but doesn't want to fully commit to a Arcade 1Up machine or something similar, does anyone have any experience hooking one of these into a windows PC and playing games through either steam releases or some sort of emulators?
Szabo's Arcade sells them.
Also anyone getting an MVSX, get yourself some Happ competition buttons with cherry microswitches and swap them in when you get it.
Build was alot of fun! It only took about 2.5 hours to build, and get up running. Already ordered some Sanwa buttons and a new stick. Really happy with this.
I was also worried with the comfort at this size but you can wrest your wrists on both edges and it's pretty good I think.How does it feel to actually use the stick and buttons with this form factor? I'm thinking I want to do a face-to-face bartop setup, but I"m worried it could be uncomfortable if I go this small.

NBA Jam is soooo much fun with 4 people. I used to throw parties and that was one of the main attractions haha.

What are those plugs you're talking about? Those screws are annoyingI had the Gen1 Street Fighter and Final Fight cabs. I sold those and got the Capcom Legacy cab and NBA Jam.
While it's true the Capcom Legacy cab design has issues, it was super easy to raise my control deck. Cost me like $5 in parts at Home Depot. And I am not a "handyman" by any stretch of the imagination. I actually raised mine about 1/16" higher than the side panel trim. That additional height, combined with the deck protector height, seems to prevent my hands from rubbing against the edges and prevents the side panel art from coming off.
The other small thing I did was get small, smooth top, rubber plugs to go in the two lower screw holes that hold the deck and deck protector in place. This way your hands (especially player 1) are not rubbing against the screw heads. MUCH better experience. And the deck and deck protector are quite sturdy and in place with just the two screws up top.

Good idea. That reminds me of carriage bolts. We used those in the arcade to install sticks sometimes back in the day. They have the same type of rounded top and could screw into the holes if you found the right size. My solution is probably gonna be a custom control panel with accurate artwork and repositioned screws. There's a bunch of 3rd party people who make really nice ones and not too expensiveThe plugs are here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R457JHX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They are a bit small and don't exactly fit snug. I also tried the next two sizes up from those, but they were too big to fit in the holes. I ended up removing my deck protector and super-gluing the underside of the plug caps to my deck protector. I let it dry for a couple hours then put it back on. You could definitely get away using them without superglue. I'd recommend buying them and inserting without and then making the decision.
They are super smooth on top and, while you will notice them as your hands touches them, there's zero friction, so your hand just slides across them, no issues. MUCH better than the screws that are there. And they are small, so they are not any kind of obstruction to your hand movements.
Here's my deck:
And here's an idea of how high I raised it. The little bit it goes above the side panel combined with the deck protector height really does a nice job of preventing hands from rubbing against side panel edge and affecting the side panel artwork (causing it to peel off).

Everyone says stuff like this, but doing hardware swaps when you have no experience doing them is quite intimidating.
I mean, I used to build PCs all of the time, so I'm not intimidated by stuff like this. And hell I repaired a few joycons last year but there's detailed YT videos to walk you through that. But there's so many types of buttons/sticks/wires and it isn't clear what works and what doesn't.
If I could just swap the buttons and sticks and keep the wiring, I'd probably do it. But no one has a complete guide video or the like for it. The videos on YT are like half there, showing the results after or whatever. There's so many different depths/brands of sticks, ditto for buttons, different kinds of button wiring, it is very confusing.
I have A SF2 1st gen I started modding at work, but didn't finish because covid (haven't seen the office since last March). But that was easy to purchase the parts for because the sticks/buttons were called out with links in the howto video and there are detailed walkthrough videos. Well, actually, I accidentally ordered the wrong LCD driver board the first time, but still.
Even some of the MVS-X videos are like "well this stick didn't quite fit" followed by drilling or moving speakers or something else whacky and not really walked-through.
After spending almost the entire day calling Walmart's, and driving to other Walmart's checking stock because no one ever answers the phone, I was defeated. I am looking for a TMNT machine. By now it's probably not going to happen. I needed something to lift my spirits. Then I saw your post. And I bought it instantly as well. So thanks for the heads upRobot or human?

Capcom Legacy is up at Walmart. I instantly bought it.
