This is awesome. I just picked up the Bitpixel with my ALU purchase on NOD, but on the next NOD if the BitLCD goes on sale, i'll probably end up picking it up. Thanks for all the content btw, best arcade youtube channel by far and i appreciate the wide array of products covered, and the tutorials as well.
I picked up one of these up as well and really like it. I am more looking forward to what it can do down the road especially in the added art area as coinops is gone compared to bitpixel art. I only have one gripe on the current software which is that it doesn't inform you if you are up to date on firmware or resources. Both options continue to be available even after you've updated both which allows you to do them again. Overall this feels like a solid product and worth the $250 price I paid.
I think this looks really cool. Having a multicade that displays the marquee of the actual game instead of a generic multicade banner is a major win. The BitPixel never did it for me because it was just too chunky. I wish the bezel was red instead of black, but that's only because in my 90s teen mind, all multicades should be NeoGeo red.
I was just about to haul my Legends Ultimate to the curb when I saw the bit about holding player 2 for 5 seconds to get out of bluetooth mode, to get the CP working. I was going to get this display on NOD, but that's about the time I noticed my CP not working, so I had to start thinking about options. Couldn't find a replacement CP on AtGames' site, so I figured it was just time to send the ALU to the land fill. VERY glad I watched this vid. I do have the BitPixcel, but with CoinopsX misbehaving, and other issues, like audio lag, I modded mine with a Pi, and a little smaller LCD panel a while back. I might go back to the ALU asset if they ever fix some stuff and things. Thanks for sharing this.
Looks good. Makes me disappointed the BitPixel HV was left out of the last NOD sales. Obviously that doesn't use LCD images, but for pinball I think that's fine. Regardless, I'm glad for everyone waiting for this it finally came out.
BitLCD arrived today, and I've updated the firmware, and am awaiting the update of the resources. Firmware update went well. really appreciate the step by step instructions. Eventually, I'll reconfigure for both the panels to be running on the ALU. :)
Just wanted to add, sorry if I missed it. If you plug your old Led into the extra port on the LCD included usb hub it works and frees up the front one. So you can hang it on the wall or something.
Looks cool but they definitely need to get rid of the game tiles on the left hand side of it and just have the marquee take up the whole screen. Can't wait to see when it will receive animated marquees.
Hi PDubs. I added the BitLCD and love it and the power"T" connection from AtGames in the back cover and did not like that it being exposed. So I removed the board from the back cover and reinstalled to the side {inside} of the cab with a couple of spacers that I got from Amazon and screws plug power into the board on the inside of cab and I don't have the"T"connector on the outside and don't have to worry about it getting damaged. So I did add a utility switch in lower back cover to turn the ALU off/on which is wired with a power strip on the inside of cab that has all my power connections. I did leave the ethernet plug connector still in the back cover. It would be a nice CZcams video showing how to do this and you would be great to show how to. Thanks for the great video.
PDubs, I love this concept. I have something similar in my ArcadeModUp Donkey Kong machine. Thankfully, the one I have was only $99 and much easier install :P (I wish this AtGames install could've been more streamline). Still, DUDE! This is an AMAZING addition to your cabinet. Now we just need Arcade1up to build their 50 in 1 Capcom cab with an OLED version of this. With HAPP joysticks and buttons at $599 and... Ok, back to reality :) vgv
Thanks again for yet another informative video. I have not yet ordered the BitLCD but will upgrade eventually. I am curious since you've updated to 5.67 if you are encountering an issue with Player 1 Y and Z buttons? Mine don't work and Atgames says they know about the issue and developers are working on it. I have not seen anyone else mention this issue. Since it really only affects those who play the 6 button fighting games it may go unnoticed.
Latest word from AtGames about the button issue with 5.67.: "Please be advised that our team is working towards a solution for this issue. As soon as I have more information regarding this matter I will let you know immediately. Have a great day and we will get this taken care of!!!"
Great vid as always PDubs👍 For now I'll stick with my LED version, although I am a little disappointed with some of the game marquees being completely washed out or basically unreadable on my old model.. Somewhat hit or miss. ... Blah.
Some constructive criticisms: the barrel splitter does not fit on the inside of the 1.0 cab, had to put it on the outside. After almost two years of waiting, you would think that they would have had art for all of the included games, they. do. not. Otherwise it looks great, was built like a tank and I didn’t have any dead pixels or anything, so overall I’m happy with the purchase.
I'm interested in the Legends Ultimate. I plan on getting the quad control panel. I would get this as well if it were "user friendly". I mean, without the need to have a laptop and download this or format that.... If it were a simple plug in, then it would be a no brainer purchase.
Question, if you want to update the marquee art do you have to open up the cabinet each time? I am thinking about running a USB extension cord and have the USB accessible outside the arcade
I’ve watched three instructional videos on how to set up the BitLCD software and was told 3 different ways. The last video I saw said to not have your Coinops USB drive plugged in while installing the BitLCD software. seen another video that says to run Addonx without my coinopsx usb. Seen another video that doesn’t even mention addonx. Atgames failed at providing official instructions for the software installation. This is getting beyond frustrating. Especially since I can’t find any instructional videos that are specifically for the 1.2 ALU.
Its hard to find anything wrong with this because its so cool but i will try. I think the price is kinda high. Love to see it at $200. The black boarder around it seems to thick. Would like to see it with a thin boarder and they could make the screen slightly bigger that way. They should of included a USB drive with it. USB drives are so cheap it would be a nice convenience to include it. Install should be way easier. It should be one or two clicks to get it updated and running. What a great product and vid. I will defiantly get one when it goes on sale.
Great Video. I followed it step by step, very meticulously, and was able to get everything installed and updated. Was able to scroll through a handful of games and the marquee looked AMAZING! Immediately after those 2 wonderful minutes, I've been having issues with my control panel not responding. Even when I do the 2P trick upon startup, it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I'm wondering if the USB hub they included is faulty?
I figured out I should have chosen FDX to install Bit LCD. But now, when I go to update Bit LCD, it errors out and says to confirm that I have installed a FAT32 formatted U disk into USB slot 2 (I have my coinopsX memory stick in the far right USB-3.0 port).
I downloaded one of the packs in your other video that had 7600+ marquees and my BitLCD is ordered and in the mail still. Can I upload the marquees onto my USB or do I need to do the BitLCD resources/folder setup while its in the BitLCD first? Otherwise, if the marquees in the packs are already better and there are more of them, do I just delete the one that the BitLCD programs creates when it is plugged in the ATGames unit and then just put the folder from the downloaded file instead?
Excellent review! Just recently learned that the Legends Ultimate has Operation Wolf with officially licensed side art!!! This is a cab I’ve been dreaming about and surprised I didn’t know about sooner! But please tell me, is the marquee for Op Wolf visible on the BitLCD? If so, I may have to pull the trigger during their next promo instead of waiting for iiRcade. Thanks!!!
Hey Pdubs can you point out the differences with a 1.1 and original 1.0? There’s no usb connection that I can find inside ahu. I am trying to replace the bitpixel original to the new LCD. Thanks
I just received the BitLCD and performed all the steps to set it up but I can't get past the BitLCD install. I keep getting a "USB Fail. Please mount USC disk from Flash Drive X" error message. I'm using a SanDisk 32GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive and even tried other flash drives and I keep getting the same error message. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Do you think the BitLCD is defective?
Well I'm about ready to throw in the towel. I followed everything to the letter the only thing I can is the BITLCD marquee (motion not static). I made sure to get the latest firmware and all that. Any advice on contacting tech support?
Hey! I followed your steps. After updating the Resources, the bitlcd is animated, but it does change at all when navigating the menu or games.. Do you have any ideas?
Do you install Bit LCD on to the FDX or the internal storage? I can't find any info anywhere on which I should choose after clicking on Install Bit LCD.
Hi. I'm getting a message that my bit lcd is not recognizing my usb drive in the lcd drive 2. I formatted fat32 and tried a few different usbs. What could be the issue you think?
Hey thanks for the video. Is it just me or does anyone else have trouble fitting the artwork flash drive into the usb port in the back of the lcd? It seems pretty tight in there.
When I try to update the resources it doesn't get past like 85% it takes like 2 hours and then it says it times out. I have tried this multiple times wired internet and Wireless different USB flash drive. Any idea I have contacted at games just waiting for response.
Good video Pdubs! Mines coming this week. 2 questions (dumb ones). Can you format the usb through your machine, if not how do you? 2nd my ALP I sign in via email, but the arcade machine wants me to sign in via Legends ID, but I never set up a password to go with my Legends ID and it doesn’t have a forgot password function? I’ve written customer service 4 times zero response. I know these are dumb have mercy🙄 thank dubs!
BRAND NEW to all of this with an AtGames Legend Ultimate v1.2 and a BitLCD. My ALU firmware version is 10940_A18, and will not update online. AtGames support insists I side load v5.70 before they will help me. I have a USB stick installed on the back of the BitLCD but do not understand how to install the BitLCD app. Can I install it on the machine's internal storage to skip having to use an external USB plugged into the top of the ALU controller? Will the BitLCD run with my current A18 firmware?
Looks nice. Question. I use my bitpixel just for a decorative sign. Can I do that with this as well? Will bitpixel art work for it? Is there a repository for art for this?
What is the minimum size usb drive I need, I have a Samsung 32gb fit, is that enough, and I have a 1.0 cab, and have to use the USB port on the front also.
Anybody have issues with downloading the Firmware update? it downloaded once for me but the image never came back after rebooting, once I tried to redo everything I'm now getting a file transfer error. Waiting to hear back from At Games support.
@BuffNY420 - exact same thing happened to me tonight. I'm sitting at the screen where it tells you to wait for it to reboot and the BITLCD screen has gone to a blank image. I can see it cycling off and on every few minutes, but the screen won't recover. After 20 minutes I tried to redo it, but it won't let me update the firmware a second time, or install the resources. I'm also waiting for a response from At Games support. Good luck to you, and please share what you hear back from them and I'll do the same.
@BuffNY420 and @PDubs - Just to follow up on this, At Games got back to me with a process to reformat the hard drive and copy the img file from my PC and put it on the USB drive, and to try again. It did not work, however I did go out and get a different USB stick and follow the process a second time and it worked perfectly. Hope you're able to get a resolution as well.
Help Pdubs! I ordered one of these but I want to use it for launchbox only, so can you plug on the hdmi only and use it for a secondary monitor for your PC?
Perfect, I was afraid that I would have to return it, thanks Pdubs! Maybe a video about secondary uses for the bitpixel LCD, no one discusses the HDMI function.
I have been trying to find the best way to word it but I was curious if the marquees that come with the sauce coinopsx download show up automatically or if you need to do some tinkering, and if it also works with addonx uce games section when you chose a game? I hope this makes sense as a question.
@@PDubsArcadeLoft Nice!!! This is the video I've been waiting for👍🏾 This is great, can't wait for the new updates on the channel! I'll definitely be sure to turn on the notifications for now on :)
@@PDubsArcadeLoft ok, not sure what the problem I'm having, I have returned one and had same problem, when all hooked up correctly, I'm losing the wifi network.
I have an ALU 1.0 and installed the BitLCD. The power adapter only fits on the outside of the cabinet. Also, the usb cable needs to connect to the usb port on the front port of the cabinet. It does not look good with these cables sticking out of my cabinet. I am also having issues when I power everything on. (My system will not start up with everything connected.) I have to start up my ALU and then connect the BitLCD USB cable and power cable. I hope someone makes a video showing the install of the BitLCD on an ALU 1.0 so I can see if there is a better way or if I have defective hardware/components. Thanks for the video, as always.
@@seanjones3174 I resolved the power up issue by connecting the power cord to the proper port on the power adapter. I really like my BitLCD, even with all of the cord/adapter issues.
@@PDubsArcadeLoft hey so new question because I’m STILL playing this thing and it’s 10am lol so none of my coinops marquees show the games marquee. Only the games that came with the cabinet. Any ideas of how to fix that?
PDubs you are so important to the At Games community, thank you so much for all you do. I was wondering if you knew why ALU 1.0 users are told to run cables outside the cabinet and why we are told to skip all the steps that involve taking off the back panel. I just got my BitLCD and I have a 1.0 and I am unsure about proceeding with the install because it seems I have to run all cabling outside the cabinet. I did want to put the Thumbdrive outside like you suggested and I did buy that ribbon cable you linked to but it seems like the instructions have me running everything else outside too. Just wondering why the difference, I am not familiar with the changes made to the 1.1
Working on this for about 6 months now, multiple returns and refunds. Never got the lcd to power up. Are you sure this still works? I got it directly from at games and no luck
@@PDubsArcadeLoft yea but this is the third one i have had directly from at games. Following over videos i have read that most people were not able to get this functional. What is the secret? Do you offer tech support?
In rewatching most of these videos I see that they are all on the 1.0 and 1.1 cabinets. After chatting with support and doing more research there is a different procedure. You have to format and put an image file on the usb drive that is connected to the bit legends lcd. Otherwise no connected on the Lengends ultimate 1.2. After that its off to the races. Opening up the control deck I also noticed that they have octagonal joystick thingamajigs now. Score!
does this work on coinopX...i just recently got the at games legends from the sams club sale....and im def interested in this.....and if it works with coinopX with the games on there..im a buyer
Let me know what you think of the BitLCD Marquee Below! I'll probably have a couple other videos for this product coming out soon.
Needed this for major gaps in the manual. Best video I found, only one that mentioned Bluetooth issue. Thanks man!
Happy to help
Looks legit. I don’t have Atgames product, but a lot of what I’ve seen lately seems impressive.

installed mine and the wood on the back where the screws mount , tore it up, also never got a screen protector. luckily it does not looked scratched
I'm waiting for this to come. I purchased this on NOD last year too. Can't wait to hear how I can pair it with my CoinOpsX usb drive.
Instant like for the MOTU hanging on the wall 😊 keep up the good work !
Thank you
Once I get an ALU this is absolutely a must… great video tutorial fine sir
Thank you brother

Kind of odd that's there but I think they'll remove it
@@PDubsArcadeLoft appreciate the video. Hopefully they have a sale on these again soon. Definitely gonna pick one up.
The reason they are like that is that if you resize actual marquees to 1920x360 most of them end up looking stretched.

just got mine today an wont recognize the usb 64gb? an i formatted it few times?
Try a different USB stick?
@@PDubsArcadeLoft have tried 64gb sandisk an 256samsung even tried anker brand usb hub.
@@DWATSON1975 weird. Odd. Open a ticket with atgames maybe your device has an issue
Looks nice. Question. I use my bitpixel just for a decorative sign. Can I do that with this as well? Will bitpixel art work for it? Is there a repository for art for this?
Yes you can! Pixelcade website has art.
What is the minimum size usb drive I need, I have a Samsung 32gb fit, is that enough, and I have a 1.0 cab, and have to use the USB port on the front also.
That's more than enough
How do I get the marquee’s for CoinOpsX? I just get text, can I just put all of the marquee jpg’s on the marquee usb drive?
Anybody have issues with downloading the Firmware update? it downloaded once for me but the image never came back after rebooting, once I tried to redo everything I'm now getting a file transfer error. Waiting to hear back from At Games support.
Not me but best to wait to hear back on your ticket or try a different thumb drive
@BuffNY420 - exact same thing happened to me tonight. I'm sitting at the screen where it tells you to wait for it to reboot and the BITLCD screen has gone to a blank image. I can see it cycling off and on every few minutes, but the screen won't recover. After 20 minutes I tried to redo it, but it won't let me update the firmware a second time, or install the resources. I'm also waiting for a response from At Games support. Good luck to you, and please share what you hear back from them and I'll do the same.
@BuffNY420 and @PDubs - Just to follow up on this, At Games got back to me with a process to reformat the hard drive and copy the img file from my PC and put it on the USB drive, and to try again. It did not work, however I did go out and get a different USB stick and follow the process a second time and it worked perfectly. Hope you're able to get a resolution as well.
@@Blogofoa So they sent me the process today and i was gonna try it tonight. Ill use a different usb stick to start. Thanks!
@@Blogofoa Hi, so the fixed worked I'm up and running, used the process they sent me and used a new usb stick as you suggested. Thanks!
Help Pdubs! I ordered one of these but I want to use it for launchbox only, so can you plug on the hdmi only and use it for a secondary monitor for your PC?
Yes
Perfect, I was afraid that I would have to return it, thanks Pdubs! Maybe a video about secondary uses for the bitpixel LCD, no one discusses the HDMI function.
@@thajo310 Did you end up getting this and using it with Launchbox and your PC in that way? I'd love to have one myself for a similar purpose.
You can find a link to more BitLCD marquees here:

Hope Awesome UCE finds a way ❤
It will
@@PDubsArcadeLoft ❤️
What size usb drive do I need to plug into the bitlcd?
64GB is more than enough
@@PDubsArcadeLoft ok thanks pdubs. I just ordered a bitlcd and will watch this video again to follow along.
That Lcd maquee what width and length is it?
I added the third-party marquees, and now my Legends BitLCD is static again. What do I need to do to make it dynamic again?
I have been trying to find the best way to word it but I was curious if the marquees that come with the sauce coinopsx download show up automatically or if you need to do some tinkering, and if it also works with addonx uce games section when you chose a game? I hope this makes sense as a question.
You need to follow these steps for coinopsx

@@PDubsArcadeLoft Nice!!! This is the video I've been waiting for👍🏾 This is great, can't wait for the new updates on the channel! I'll definitely be sure to turn on the notifications for now on :)
Possible to use with ultimate Legends mini?
Can a 3.0 usb flasdrive be used in the marquee?
Yes
@@PDubsArcadeLoft ok, not sure what the problem I'm having, I have returned one and had same problem, when all hooked up correctly, I'm losing the wifi network.
@@diamondking1969 yeah open a ticket with atgames have them sort you out
I have an ALU 1.0 and installed the BitLCD. The power adapter only fits on the outside of the cabinet. Also, the usb cable needs to connect to the usb port on the front port of the cabinet. It does not look good with these cables sticking out of my cabinet. I am also having issues when I power everything on. (My system will not start up with everything connected.) I have to start up my ALU and then connect the BitLCD USB cable and power cable. I hope someone makes a video showing the install of the BitLCD on an ALU 1.0 so I can see if there is a better way or if I have defective hardware/components. Thanks for the video, as always.
I've ran into the same challenges with my 1.0
@@seanjones3174 I resolved the power up issue by connecting the power cord to the proper port on the power adapter. I really like my BitLCD, even with all of the cord/adapter issues.
My screen is still “fancy” during the update…is that bad??
Update…it wasn’t bad lol
Lol
@@PDubsArcadeLoft hey so new question because I’m STILL playing this thing and it’s 10am lol so none of my coinops marquees show the games marquee. Only the games that came with the cabinet. Any ideas of how to fix that?

@@PDubsArcadeLoft you’re a gentleman and a scholar. 👌🏽
THAT PRICE IS INSANE!!!!!!!
I got an sams alu for that much and alp pricematched for the nod sale price of the lcd.. it is a hefty mod
PDubs you are so important to the At Games community, thank you so much for all you do. I was wondering if you knew why ALU 1.0 users are told to run cables outside the cabinet and why we are told to skip all the steps that involve taking off the back panel. I just got my BitLCD and I have a 1.0 and I am unsure about proceeding with the install because it seems I have to run all cabling outside the cabinet. I did want to put the Thumbdrive outside like you suggested and I did buy that ribbon cable you linked to but it seems like the instructions have me running everything else outside too. Just wondering why the difference, I am not familiar with the changes made to the 1.1
my firmware wont update
Looks amazing, although pricey
Not cheap
Working on this for about 6 months now, multiple returns and refunds. Never got the lcd to power up. Are you sure this still works? I got it directly from at games and no luck
If you have a faulty unit that is a customer service thing with atgames. My BitLCD has always worked
@@PDubsArcadeLoft yea but this is the third one i have had directly from at games. Following over videos i have read that most people were not able to get this functional. What is the secret? Do you offer tech support?
In rewatching most of these videos I see that they are all on the 1.0 and 1.1 cabinets. After chatting with support and doing more research there is a different procedure. You have to format and put an image file on the usb drive that is connected to the bit legends lcd. Otherwise no connected on the Lengends ultimate 1.2. After that its off to the races. Opening up the control deck I also noticed that they have octagonal joystick thingamajigs now. Score!
Mine keeps saying no signal and goes black.
Where do I get that Coinopsx button mapping sign at 2:38 ?
You can order these at Szabo's Arcades site.
Does it work with coinops x ver 5?
Yes.
What a waste, so many other worthwhile upgrades or whole other cabs.
Disagree completely but appreciate the opinion, thanks for watching!
Does this pull artwork for COINOPSX? Roadmap for that?
No that's a separate process/video
does this work on coinopX...i just recently got the at games legends from the sams club sale....and im def interested in this.....and if it works with coinopX with the games on there..im a buyer
