- This will be Part 1 of 2 Videos where I review and showcase the Buy Stuff Arcades Yoke & Wheel Gaming Box! This Android Box Kit has multiple setup options that are Plug And Play including simply plugging in a wired XBox360 Controller or something more fancy like the Glen's Retro Show GRS Flight Yoke, Thrustmaster T-80 or T-150 Racing Wheels, or Hori Racing Wheels. The main feature of this kit is to install it inside of an AtGames Legends Ultimate or AtGames Legends Ultimate Mini Arcade Machine with the included splitter and switching cables which I will feature in Part 2 of this 2-part series. In Part 1 we will review the Gaming Box, what's included, games and systems included, and how well does it play with a GRS Flight Yoke and Pedestal Setup!
The Gaming Box Kit will Retail for $149 and can be purchased from the Buy Stuff Arcades Website once the listing goes live very soon.
Buy Stuff Arcades sponsored this video by sending me the product for the purpose of making this review all thoughts and opinions are my own.

#Yoke&Wheel #GamingBox #Review #BuyStuffArcades #BuyStuffStore - Hry
Thanks PDubs - we have been shipping out some BETA versions of the build, but are continuing to tweak and fix issues that come up. SD Card upgrades will be available for just $20 to the latest build at any time. The genesis of this product was to solve the issue the GRS Yoke has with deadzone on the ALU with CoinOpsX. A ton of work has gone into it as it has evolved from there. We'll continue to improve it as best we can given the limitations of the various emulators and the OS.
Serious question - isn’t a risk to your brick and mortar and online businesses to start selling unlicensed ROMs?
@@jimharper5710 Hi Jim - thanks for the question. ROMs are free to download for everyone. We are charging for the hardware, shipping and the immense amount of time it took to configure it all to work with the Yoke and Wheels. This is no different than everyone else selling mod-kits and pre-built systems (or Pandora boxes etc.) Even without the ROMS installed - since they are easy for anyone to add - our Gaming Box is still a great deal. If anyone contacts us and asks for their content to be removed, we'll be happy to do so.
One of the things that should be mentioned and is worth mentioning is that BuyStuff went ahead of themselves and made this for everyone, as you dont even need the additional Pedal for either GRS yolk or Hori Steering wheel or wheel of choice and can take off with press of a button. My thinking is not every one either likes the way if standing and pressing down on the pedal or for those with disabilities maybe they cant use a pedal.
I'm thinking that it might be where their pay pal is set up idk.
@@BuyStuffArcades if I wanted to use this in my star wars arcade1up cabinet... Would it suffice to swap the stock 4:3 monitor to a 16:9 one and then it should work out on the screen? The game box is not compatible with a 4:3 screen right?
Part 2 with the AtGames machines coming up next until then let me know what you think of this Gaming Box from Buy Stuff Arcades!
Any idea of when this goes live?
@@ChosenOne1994 probably Thursday when I finish editing the video
@@PDubsArcadeLoft you want to know what I think? I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!😫😫😫
@@GODCONVOYPRIME LOL!!!
Will the swapping of the y axis work per game or the whole unit? Love my set up and use the grs yolk aswell as the Hori Nintendo switch wheel and got some use out of both, but the shooting games are hard with the y-axis way it is… Great video! I love my arcade box from buystuff arcade and just love how they keep adding to the community. Hopefully one day they can have a plug and play that will include some redparrot games like Starwars Pod and maybe Batman arcade…
I love it and its such an easy way for both driving an d flying games with the yoke….Great job BSS and Pdubs!!!
Hey thanks Al! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Got my yoke, mount, Gamebox, and pedal all ordered. Can't wait to play this.
Rock on!
Great review. Looking forward to part 2
Me too!
This is a pretty cool option. It’s simple and I like simple…cuz I’m simple lol. Thanks for sharing bro and look forward to part deux!
Simple is fun
This was actually pretty interesting, I'm glad you made the video. There's some bangers on that box. I'd be interested just to get the Cruis'n games.
Sing the song
I'm sold ... I want that with the yoke stick lol , thanks Pdubs 👊💯
Most welcome!
I have mine and love the games list. Setting mine up on the mini with a T150. The BuyStuffArcade guys stay busy keeping me gaming on my Atgames setup!
Thanks for sharing!
Wow thanks for going through that game list
Looks like a super easy quick way to get a driving set up going
There were some lesser known ones in there that looked interesting
I saw a bunch of stuff I either never played or heard of so you never know you might find a gem
Honestly @pdubs thank you for this. I’m all the way in on this product, assuming they will ship to Australia. Looks awesome. Will be building this into a cabinet. Very cool
Hope you can get it down under!
I have the Buy Stuff Arcade pedestal with Atgames Gamer Mini also (and the Yoke). I ran a 15ft extention cable to a USB hub mounted on the backside of the pedestal. Not I don't have wires hangin between the pedestal and TV. Great for the yoke, charging Xbox controllers, plugging in 2 light guns, etc. Can't wait to grab this box- I do all my own setups but a handful of games but having all this setup in 1 box with that interface sounds great for when I have company over. Stock up the beer fridge and you got your own party!
USB extension for the win
this is cool. definitely something to consider.
It's an option
Awesome vid! I might have to get that box! Crazy taxi, Cruisn USA and Hydro Thunder alllll day long for me! :)
Nice all in one solution … BSS great job on this
Easy peezy
Looks cool. I am excited to receive mine. I am definitely going to get a USB extension cable.
Yes I didn't have one on hand lol
I have been debating on making my own arcade and I was thinking that something like this would be a good way to get multiple games on one machine. I was thinking about a standard stick and button configuration and then adding a flight stick similar to Tron with stick and spinner set up. So this has given me some ideas. With that said I think the price point is a little high but then again if you don't want to take the effort to source everything yourself maybe it's just right. I will watch your next video before I make a decision to buy. Thanks for getting this in front of us.
Happy to share info that's what it's all about
I finally received my flight Yoke but I have say from my experience it’s really difficult to configure and to start up I followed the directions and troubleshooting but still having difficulty configuring the yoke to work with the menu
Looks great and looking forward to its release. Since it supports N64 emulation, you should add Rogue Squadron and Episode 1 Racer.
Good call!
We did have a look at those. Yoke doesn't have enough controls though for Rogue Squadron and Racer didn't play well enough, unfortunately.
If you could make a box with sports games, that would be epic.
Agreed 👍
I really been looking to get a Star Wars 1up can but I might as well get this and the yoke and place it in my Astroid cabinet that I hardly use 🤷🏾♂️
Nice idea!
Whats the large white controller looking thing under the tv?
Oh that's a mount that the Nintendo Switch sits in to make the grips bigger etc
Was looking forward to this. Great part 1 review. I was thinking of getting this with their sit-down racing cabinet, and was hoping for more mame/arcade versions of the games, not consoles. The racing cabinet sold out too fast for me. Considering getting the completed set-up from Retro Lizard - racing cab plus pc with all the arcade games, plus the teknoparrot games. The price of the racing cabinet and quality of build seems too good to be playing console games on it. This racing box is good for a fun selection of racing games for a decent price. I believe some of the games on this box can be played by 2 or more people with separate boxes, wheels/yokes, tv's, etc (2 people racing together on their own set-ups) - Can you verify this, PDubs? Looking forward to part 2!!
We'll have a multi-player demo video coming out soon.
@@BuyStuffArcades Awesome. That'd be great. Thanks!
Hi , great video. Question I just got my flight Yoke and wood. I plug it into Atgames ALU and run my Star Wars from BYOG and my do not work? Any advice? I don’t have the box you have. Just CoinOpsX 5.0 I plug it on port one on top.
No clue. Message Glens Retro Show. Never tried that set up. I use the Yoke with the gaming box.
Pretty interesting.. seems like it could make for a decent option for a home racing setup
For a quick and dirty one yes
@@PDubsArcadeLoft Exactly what I was referring too... have you tried it with a steering wheel and pedal setup?
@@TiltingT not yet just the Yoke on the TV and AtGames...due to the length of the video decided to split it into 2 parts.
@@PDubsArcadeLoft thanks for the info! And sharing the video
Hey Pdubs, this definitely had my attention when I saw their official video about installation on the ALU. Pretty clever. Points to Buys Stuff Arcades for making a box that reminded me of an old Atari cartridge. Would have been better if it had actually been one but whatever...lol
Questions:
1) That GRS Flight Yolk mount, is it truly surface safe to mount to the ALU without scratching anything?
2) Can games be added or removed from this game box?
This is the first time I've seen Hard Drive'n included with a game pack...that game was always a coin eater for me...I might have to get one of these!!!
The T-mold on our mount works very well to limit scratches. The ALU top is plexiglass however, so we can't say it will never ever scratch at all, but it's very good. Games are easily deleted. They can be added if you are experienced, but that is not as easy.
Thanks David!
@@BuyStuffArcades Thank you so much for the direct reply!!
Pretty cool looking product. Definitely a nice plug and play solution. But when and if I eventually do a driving cab I'll use a PC for it since it will have enough power to run some of the higher end arcade racers. Unfortunately, this is using console versions for those titles. Besides, I already have a PC for my Legends pinball so there's no reason not to make it do double duty.
PCs have definite advantages for Racing builds, no doubt. The main intent of this Gaming Box is quick, cheap and easy configuration as an add-on to existing multi-cades especially when paired with our yoke and steering mounts. The easy networking option does provide some value to our Race Cabs though.
Easy peezy
just purchased the flight yoke, have a mini pc loaded with retro. plugged in the yoke. the only game that plays straight away is Sega Star wars arcade trilogy. I have tried switching from mouse mode to pad mode. no good. any ideas anyone.
Hello I’m from the U.K. where do you buy this yoke with all the games on please ? Is there a website please? Please let me know thanks
Is there anyway I can plug this into my Ridge Racer 1up and play those games on there ?
Not yet, but we've thought about that option.
Works with all hori wheels , like the mario kart racing pro and pedals ?
That'd be the one
We've tested the Hori Mario Switch and the Hori Apex so far.
Does this kit come with the Yoke? If now where can I purchase one? Thanks!
Have to buy the Yoke separately - thunderstickstudio.com/products/grs-flight-yoke?variant=41979505803493¤cy=USD&gclid=CjwKCAiA8YyuBhBSEiwA5R3-EzACRJq3orcLCIbODhLeSjzL-OpXk6YyxWAiMKtDeY6n3XGCzbQRfhoCzoUQAvD_BwE
I'd love a plug in and play Mario kart arcade on my tv
He dubs,I don't know what's going on but I ordered the yok box kit,got a call from my bank saying this purchase was from California not Canada,isn't but stuff store in Canada? The bank said I had 2 charges for the same amount.
Weird. Buy Stuff Store/Buy Stuff Arcades is in Canada. You can reach out to them or your bank for assistance no idea what that is all about
How are the flying games play? List look kinda low, then again I don't know what a comprehensive flying game list should look.
Most worked fine I showed a few off in the video Starfox64, After Burner etc
Please let us know if you think of any we haven't considered.
Wondering why the Genesis version of Virtua Racing was included instead of the vastly superior 32X version?
It's charming
@@PDubsArcadeLoft yeah it actually is, but they put other 32X games in there, they should have at least added them both instead of including only the inferior version.
Thanks - we'll take a look at it. The real reason is we want to have some left to improve the build with 🙂
Got it added to our latest version - thanks.
@@BuyStuffArcades nice!
Does the game list include the Star wars trilogy?
Original atari
Mame is all I want this for.
130 MAME games currently.
Can you share the link for the GRS flight yoke please?
thunderstickstudio.com/products/arcade-flight-stick?gclid=Cj0KCQjwj7CZBhDHARIsAPPWv3c7KCn4y928ftaH_cNAQV-qoelRyPw-Dtj69fRIoH96kFv3_mHBzNIaAt0aEALw_wcB
Thanks PDubs!
Do you think this would work on a arcade1up cabinet or will it only work on Atgames Legends Ultimate? I was wanting to get afterburner graphics made for my Mortal Kombat 2 cabinet and put the flight yoke on it with the gaming box.
@@rangerguy1383 the possible issue with the Arcade1up install is the resolution being incompatible with the gaming box. Since the screen res on Arcade1up is 4:3 and the 16:9 res on the ALU, on the A1Up, you might get a "squashed" look on your screen. A 4:3 version may be in the works by the company to support installation in A1Up cabinets.
Wish they put a 922 in it, instead of the 905. About twice the overall power. Would have added about $50, but worth it IMO.
I don't think most users would want to pay $200+ for a kit like this I think they would panic at that price tag.
We have experimented with the 922 and will probably have that option in the future. It does help for certain games for sure, but bang for the extra buck was hard to justify at this point. Hopefully the 922 price will come down in the future.
@@PDubsArcadeLoft price is now $249! Maybe with some mild tweaking
Nice video pdubs.. stupid question... Does buy stuff have any legal rights to include all those roms with the package?
It's the Ali Express Discount Dude.
It’s a curated build you are paying for the box and you should know this answer 😂
@@ritualdelo i had to look twice to make sure it wasn't from ali express
It’s a good question. Surprised they’d put their whole business at risk by selling unlicensed ROMs.
They are north of the US border, so maybe they somehow can evade legal action from the big N and other guys? But I still can't see how these guys, Retro Lizard, 99 Lives Arcade, etc. can get away with it. Arcade1up and other guys go the legal route and get all their games properly licensed from whoever owns the copyrights now. It's kind of a gray area with ROM's. I think Retro Lizard and 99 lives are near Buffalo and Niagara Falls, NY so they are on the US side.
Interesting product. I have the GRS yoke, and while it’s great, I can tell you right now - any game that didn’t originally use analog controls is gonna be a terrible experience with this. Meaning - all NES, SNES, Genesis, and most PS1 games.
Like I said in the video there were a few that didn't work good and plenty of games that did and I only tested the Yoke no racing wheels etc
We put a ton of work into configuring all of these emulators for analog control. NES, SNES and Genesis are actually pretty good with the Yoke considering. For PS1, we weren't going to include any until we found an undocumented setting that cleaned the deadzone right up. The real stars of the show are PSP and Dreamcast games, however. Is it perfect? Not possible at this price point but customers are very happy with our progress to date.
@@BuyStuffArcades Good to hear.. I’m curious for sure now.
Sensitivity looks way’ off. Good review
Does this come with the Yoke?
No
Curious, how do they get away with selling ROMs? Don’t most companies shy away from actually providing the ROMs for legal reasons?
They aren't selling ROMs from a technical point of view. This works the same was a many other products from AliExpress etc..I'm going to stay out of the politics of it lol 😆
Yeah -not try to get into politics of whether right, wrong, etc. Also not familiar with how Ali Express boxes skirt this issue. Figured it was just that the overseas companies shipping them were small or untouchable. Buy Box seems to be a bigger target as a domestic company and going beyond what AtGames does in actually providing games at a cost. Will be interesting to see how it plays out. Do the game companies genuinely not care anymore? Seems risky to include Nintendo games especially.
Nintendo actually sued ROM sites with old 8-bit games and Team Xecuter which tried to hack into one of their newer systems. If you share a Nintendo game like Super Smash Bros. on torrent then somehow Nintendo will sniff it out, complain to your ISP, and your ISP will send you a warning letter.
PDubs,
For $150 and around 300 games, for it to be worth it for me, this thing would need to be vetted to the point where all games work very well. From your initial impressions, this isn't the case. Does it look like a bad product? Not at all. But with the amount you of games you get with the hit or miss gameplay, I say if they could get this down to $30 or $40, I think it would be a great alternative.
vgv
To clarify, we are not including any games that we can't get configured acceptably - that is the whole purpose of what we're doing here since the Yoke and Wheels are traditionally very difficult to configure. It's still in beta, so there will still be some bugs, although we're already 4 versions further than what PDubs is demoing here. Supporting multiple controllers means not every game will work with every controller properly, although most do.
@@BuyStuffArcades Glad to hear :)
vgv
Not trying to be a stickler, but the Y axis is the vertical axis. You put X axis in the video.
Did I? Simple typo lol 😆
Some games like Giga Wing make no sense. Sin and Punishment to name one as example would have worked great with this.
It's an emulec build so feel free to add or remove games you like or don't like it's not a locked down thing
What did they do, only make 10 of these?? How could they be sold out in just a couple of months? Are they planning to make more?
email them and ask maybe? they sold a bunch of these and are probably waiting for more stock from overseas.
You can connect this to an arcade 1up machine? I recently bought the arcade 1up ridge racer machine on sale. It's cool but then I remembered how much I hated ridge racer back in the ps1 days 😔.
We are considering some options for the A1ups. Not finalized yet.
@@BuyStuffArcades I would love to set this inside my a1up star wars (have the grs yoke). Are there any res settings on the box or does this work on 16:9 monitors only? (I have hdmi convertor to a1up already but worried all might be squashed?). Thanks in advance!
@@XR1000 We are working on a 4:3 version of the Gaming Box - the trickier thing for installing into A1ups is connecting the existing controls. That is a bit more involved.
@@BuyStuffArcades appreciate it if so! Think 4:3 or 5:4 be popular as a1up about to re-release the star wars cab again and many will be getting the grs👍🏼.
@@XR1000 We are actively working on a 4:3 version right now, so it will be available soon.
How well did Star Wars Arcade play?
It played fine. Plays better on the 1up cab
@@PDubsArcadeLoft Sorry! Meant the 1994 Sega version.
@@rushmore3927 oh the 32x one...yeah...I didn't like it
@@PDubsArcadeLoft The arcade version is actually good, but controls used of course are the wild card. Makes sense it's the 32x. Arcade version would choke on a 905.
Sega Mode 3 ..Naomi engine games???
I showed all the games included most sega games were dreamcast or Genesis or 32x versions
Need a PC for that at this point.
@@BuyStuffArcades unfortunately. I don't think there's any Android boxes out now powerful enough to run some of the higher end arcade driving games, but having console versions is a nice compromise.
First , your really bad at Paperboy 😂😂 Second , perhaps you shouldn't get a job driving a semi full of eggs or anything fragile.. It does seem a bit expensive. Its feels like it should be $100. I do understand and appreciate all the work that goes into this though and I'm glad it exists. I wish we had more accessories for the AtGames products it just makes them better.
I play paperboy slow lol I did clear the first stage let me know if you need the full clip.
@@PDubsArcadeLoft LOL your still better than me ! and i love that game.
All I see is the Star Wars Arcade joystick.
Lol pew pew
$50 for the android box plus $100 for the image on a micro sd card and a splitter to atgames products. hmmm
There's more than just a splitter, several wires and connectors that would cost you $10 or so each to buy off Amazon for instance plus shipping packing materials and their labor costs etc plus room for their profit. Its running a business. If you want buy an android box and do all the work and save money etc...this is for those who need more of a plug and play solution hope that makes sense
@@PDubsArcadeLoft that's fair. And I appreciate all the retro gaming products coming out. Without them, our hobby would suffer. Theres a market for this for sure. Just not for me unfortunately.
It's all about options - nothing wrong with building your own and we've provided a good list to get started with :-) But TBH, after all the time we've put into building, tweaking and testing this build, I'd have bought it myself in a heartbeat if had the option!
They did most of the work to give us options. And to help give us better content then Atgames is giving with out having to go buy more Arcades just to play some really good games plus its all about learning and sharing in this community and helping it grow. Honestly they could have just included this only as part of their racing cab deals and we would have to shell out more money just to have a complete set up which would still be cheaper then buying a real racing/flying/shooting arcade…
Damn sold out
They will be available soon.
@@BuyStuffArcades please let us know. Checking daily! I want this.
