- Firmware 4.10.0 is here and boy is it a good one! Users now have the ability to use the AtGames 'OTG' (On the Go USB) Feature and can connect their Raspberry Pi devices to the AtGames Legends Ultimate Controls (Player 1 side only for now) and be up and running in minutes! Fantastic improvement vs. Bluetooth connecting the Raspberry Pi to the AtGames Legends Ultimate Controls! This is a more stable connection and a more enjoyable experience!
In this video I am using a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and tested connecting a Recalbox and a Retropie image without any major issues except sound quality.
Note: If you are updating from our open beta firmware, please perform a Factory Reset before updating to this release. Steps for Factory Reset can be found here: arcades.atgames.net/faq/.
Highlights
Extended OTG support to more devices such as Raspberry Pi.
Settings
Consolidated “Network Test Kit” and “Server Map” in Settings.
Miscellaneous
Added reset option to advanced configs in in-game menu.
Minor UI improvements.
General performance and stability improvements.
Known Issues
OTG mode may reverse the P1/P2 controls occasionally, reseat the USB cable should reorder the controls, this will be addressed in a later release.
Unable to change local video file for Attract Mode.
In some cases, ArcadeNet boxarts will not load until the user navigates to the next page.
Additional Notes
The clock will reset after power cycles due to hardware limitations, but it will automatically sync to the internet when the ALU connects.
Control Mirroring only applies to ALU controls, not external controllers.
Some add-ons will not run after the system has been left running for a while. if this happens please try again after a power cycle.
The left-most USB port will not read USB drives when in OTG mode.
When external devices fails to pair to the ALU in BT Device mode, please change to BT Host mode, disconnect the device, and try again.
Data Manager will show a non-zero number after clean up due to internal data.
OTG feature on Raspberry Pi was verified using the following images, other images/devices may require additional settings to work with the ALU.
RP3B+: RetroPie v4.5.1
RP4: Lakka v2.3.2

seems like a lot of work for the raspberry pi....i have 3 usbs with all the arcades i could ever want,all snes/nes, and all sega games. i am missing one thing and thats my light gun games ...how will i get them on a usb or on the legends and what gun do i have to buy ????
@@TheHellboy1980 literally takes less than a couple minutes to connect your Pi. Light Guns are coming AimTrak are the ones being tested.
Can you add custom (favorites) games to the Legends Ultimate Cabinet?
@@PDubsArcadeLoft new subscriber here. A couple of questions. What’s the reason for the USB cable? Is it because the Bluetooth doesn’t work? Also, what is better a) load the games to the arcade or b) play them from the pi? I have some N64 and ps1 games. Would this arcade be able to play them? I just ordered this so I want to know what I’m getting into. Unfortunately the manual online doesn’t go into this sort of details. Thank you
Thanks for the video, looking forward to utilizing on my legends ultimate cabinet.
Enjoy!
Great Video...Keep up the Great work...Thanks.
Thanks PDubs for the Great video!! I have a couple Raspberry Pi 3B+ But they are running the Retropie 4.2 versions and it’s not working with the Legends Ultimate Arcade Machine. I Guess I will have to upgrade to the latest version of Retropie which is the 4.5.1 versions. Thanks Again!!
Hi having the same problem I'm assuming the raspberry pi build i have is to old. Have you managed to sort yours with a 4.5.1 ?
Great video 👍 these updates are really exciting. 1up arcades has nothing on legends ultimate arcade.
What is a 1up arcade ?
Thanks brother u work so hard for us and thank you so much
I appreciate it!
Awesome video, good job. Watched it so that when I get my Legends Ultimate machine I will know what to do. LOL. Still no movement on the Burgertime Arcade1up. Still just showing that a label was created and showing in La Mirada, CA. All schools are closing here in Ohio starting Monday. We will quarantine in the arcade here
Our arcades are the safest place to be at the moment lol
@@PDubsArcadeLoft I think that you're right brother. 😎😷
Great video
Thanks Mike!
Did you ever figure out how to work player 2 while running Pi? Could you just map start, and add coin together?
Thinking of getting one of these and using a pi 4 with it. Hope theres a way to fit it all inside the cab though, don't really like it hanging out the top.
PDubs, please work on figuring out how to get rid of those wires and mount permanently in the rear of the unit. Also have you considered throwing in a compute stick? Seems like that would be the ideal way to preserve stock ALU and still get coinops with OTG support
Pdubs, a couple things, A trick for volume if you're using Libretro emus with Retroarch, you can go into Retroarch, Audio/ Increase DB level. (it will increase some to get you to a reasonable level) Also, for arcade,you could also go into the Dip Switch/Test menu and increase volume for most games that way. Second, i didn't understand what that meant, "you were short 1 button? Retropie I believe only requires 4 joystick moves and I believe 2 buttons, all other can be skipped. Which button is short? Are you referring to the 2p Credit button? (i can't speak for what recalbox requires for button setup)
Yes short a 2P credit button (select or hot key button) everything else great tips here much appreciated!
PDubs Arcade Loft Ok. A couple tricks in RetroPie. Set or skip the credit button to anything else, then you can go into the joypad.cfg file and manually change the start and credit button for 2p to the same button, or just set the credit button to “nul” or remove it altogether. The credits from P1 should be fine in almost every case. If you did make credit and start the same button, It will add a credit and start at the same time. All joystick.cfg can be manually changed. And technically you don’t need a hotkey for P2 if your P1 has the hotkey and working for every UI hotkey combo.
@@therexershow Can you point me to the joypad.cfg file? I can't find it - I'd like to map the Menu button (which is bound to P1 and seen as P1 button 16) to P2 select/coin - some games like Gauntlet 2 and Rampage want a player specific coin insertion. I can't find any reference to joypad.cfg for retropie.
What micro sd card works in the pi 3 +? None of mine that work on the 3 b work...
Quick question, if I run a PI 4 with a huge 256gb...will that run fine or is there a limit to how large the PI image can be? I assume it will run fine because its using the PI 4 hardware and basically just using the monitor and controller of the legends ultimate
Player 2 work yet? I believe mine should as I have a Gamer Pro + I have pinball buttons.
Hi PDubs, Does Spinner and Trackball work on Raspberry Pi or Recallbox?
So if I have a usb with coinops can I connect it to a RPI for my arcade 1up ?
I bet using a pc with a graphics card i.e. using nvidia sound through a single hdmi cable would solve the sound issues. Seems like the arcade legends or raspberry pi has a weak DAC. Might be a better investment just buying a nvidia shield vs running a raspberry pi 4. Usually when running pi with arcade speakers like the ALU you have buy a cheap DAC with a volume knob on amazon. Sounds like ALU team did not plan for this issue and hope it can be fixed on the main ALU cheap cpu they used
Hey i know this vid is a year old i just puchasee a legends machine i updated to the 5.5 update but i dont see the icon for the bluetooth feature could you be of any help as to how i get that icon.
How do I do that with the new changes?
How can you play with 2 players on legends ultimate raspberry pi
So how would i use the player 2 controls?
It work same foR Odroid H2 OTG ?
What do I do when it's not working. The pi has power, arcade is on. I select setting and tab on OTG mode. That takes me to a screen that is labeled "OTG Mode".
Gives me 4 steps to follow but doesn't allow me to select the tab labeled "Enter OTG Mode". ONLY cancel tab is highlighted and I can't get it to toggle up to select Enter OTG Mode. When I just follow the instructions and change channel to HDMI mode it gives me a screen that says no signal with an image of the layout that highlights the port area. With instructions to press to button to switch between display channels.
Does it is possible to place USB plug at the back of the legend ,it is really not sexy like this but..... it is great !!
So quick question.....I have a RPI4 with RetroPie....do I need to wipe that and add the Lakka version or is there a way to get RetroPie working with this RPI4?? (BTW I love your videoes, so helpful for a beginner like myself) Thank U!!
I am having trouble with Lakka/Pi4 myself.
how can you use two sides
I think I'm just going to gut the cabinet, and bypass the Legends Ultimate's PCB, entirely. My LU has really bad audio lag, and AtGames refuses to fix, or recognize the problem, so, I'm done with them. I need to find some decent graphics to completely replace the AtGames livery with, too. Thanks for the video.
Is there audio lag this way? Coinopsx is terrible due to its audio lag.
So you are just using the Pi through the atgames display and keyboard
I have the v1.1 machine - can you use the side pinball buttons to get around the player 2 issue being a key short?
Did you got an answer ?
5:08 would a 2 player control deck with 8 buttons for each play solve the issue for player 2 being a key short ?
it could
You didn't mention if the trackball or spinner going to work or not.
Excellent point! I didn't even test or try those
Can you use pi 3b for this
Did you try a regular 3B and also and you actually don't need the extra button all you need to do on the player to side is be able to hold down start select as your default button to go back to the image also there is volume settings in retropie if you hold down start button it should be able to take you to those you can increase the volume inside retropie itself so then you can adjust the volume on your at games
Fantastic tips! That's why I threw that comment in the video, I'll give those a shot #AwesomrCommunity
@@PDubsArcadeLoft yeah I have a few machines running Raspberry Pi and when I want to adjust the volume I don't go in back and use the amplifier I just adjusted in the settings makes it much easier like I said and your best bet is to use start select for player 2 because when you're using a cabinet that has 6 buttons that's what you normally would do start select on each side for your default key
Do I need an external game pad that I plug into the Raspberry Pi when I'm first setting up?
Nope you plug it in turn it on and follow the steps in the video :)
@@PDubsArcadeLoft I didn't see one, but you said you had pre-programmed yours.... Thanks!
Hi. Can I use a retro pie image in the legends gamer pro wireless edition?
You don't need to - you just plug your Pi into your TV and you can use the Gamer Pro as your controller - there is no need to use the Hockey Puck/Core with that set up
Increase the volume on the retropie itself and you should be good go
I appreciate the tip - others commented the same - great community here!
Love this cabinet. Did you make it or one can purchase it?
you can buy it from Sam's Club or from AtGames directly www.atgames.net and go to their "estore" tab.
Would Virtual Man 128gb Arcade Bliss image on Pi4 work on ALU?
It should.
Can I use Raspberry Pi B model? Why do I need B+?
A Pi3B should work or B+ or Pi4
i just need to find someone to make me a custom marquee sign with plexi glass to change out the legends marquee
Szabos Arcades
Hi PDubs, i have a raspberry pi 3b+ setup but its not connecting OTG with usb. Is it the build I have is to old. Do I need retropie 4. Whatever for compatibility? Would be grateful for your response.
You just gave me a great idea for an updated 2022 guide. Pi4 and 3B+ should both work
@@PDubsArcadeLoft but would you say you need the v4.5.1 on pi3b+ to work because i have a lot older builds and no go. Look forward to a update from you mate 👍
My pi is running 4.5.3 is it too up to date to work with the Legends Ultimate?
Should work, you are above the minimum recommended software version. Some folks have Pi images from 12 months ago that are outdated, theirs won't work, yours should.
@@PDubsArcadeLoft thanks. I've been able to get my laptop to connect but my retro-pi setup on 3b+ won't show up. I'll keep goofing with it.
@@nealrobinson7886 how is it not working? No image on the screen? Or the controls won't connect?
If it is a screen issue, you need to change a setting in the config file. Need to uncomment "hdmi_force_hotplug=1"
ruddersidedown my issue was 5 months ago. It’s working now.
For some reason my pi does not give me the option to map my control. Any guidance?
What Pi are you using? What image?
@@PDubsArcadeLoft I am using a pi 3b + and I am running dz artcade.
@@andyhayes252 I haven't tested that image myself. When you hold down the A Button on player 1 control deck it doesn't detect the legends? After OTG is turned on?
That a Recalbox Image?
Plug in Xbox controller and from Recalbox and go to the option where you can configure controls - then hold down the A button on player 1 legends. It should detect the control deck and allow you to map it. Then you can restart the Pi without the Xbox controller plugged in and restart OTG mode and it should detect the legends as player 1 when you hold down A button
Can you do over Bluetooth 2 controller if so how
This video was a walkthrough to connect without going the bluetooth route. Always easier to plug and play than sync a bluetooth connection.
Then did you discover how to use 2 sides
Will the Pandora’s box work like that?
Don't know, never tried.
I need your help my friend.
I don't sell USB sticks with illegal roms on them. Sorry.
I sent you a DM on IG.
PDubs Arcade Loft thanks. Can you hit me up on IG. My IG is @dhyde26. 🙏🏽
Is there any Chance to get this to Germany. We are starving here for those Cabs.
Not yet, but working on it.
@@bayougaming46 good to know we are not forgotten😂.
So you can't play two players using the PI. That sucks. Why wouldn't you just use a ubs stick with coinopx then
Lol John this video was made before alllll that coinopsx stuff came out.
That doesn’t look anything like farm wear.
why can't you just attach hardware directly to this cabinet???
What do you mean? As in permanently replace the existing hardware like you do in an Arcade1up? Why would you? With their platform you can plug and play PCs, PIs, and Stream CoinOps and Steam. You remove their hardware and all you have is the Pi for instance and lose out on everything else. I would rather plug and play and not gut their machine.
@@PDubsArcadeLoft it seemed to me you had to stream to it and not hardwire directly... I want to crack it open and plug a ITX pc into the monitor and the controls
You don't have to stream to the ALU you can attach directly to the cab via HDMI and the USB cable directly to use the cab controls
Damn !!! all i care about for an update is the light guns !!!! Also they need to make a store where i can buy all the light gun games to download onto my legends so i can finally play my house of the dead games and more ...please !!!! and what guns will i have to buy ??? ahhh!!!!
Is OTG for On The Go?
Yes
I'm gonna have to just map one of the top row player two buttons so I can atleast play beat em.ups and shmups with my kid
Let me know how it goes!
so you need to turn on OTG every time, you can't just swap between the PI and the standard frontend once you configure it?
This cabinet has many functionalities my friend! Because you can do so much, Stream, Play Games On Demand (Arcadenet) Play the included games on the cabinet, play games off a flash drive, play games through Fire Sticks, Computers, the works you have to understand the system needs to know what type of games you want to play. It literally takes '3 seconds' to turn on OTG Mode (stands for USB on the go) - you have to turn on that mode otherwise the USB ports are waiting for you to do something else with them (i.e. plug in a flash drive) they do not default to being a controller when you power on the machine. It takes 3 seconds to turn on OTG mode, hit the HDMI input button to flip to your Pi and boom you are up and gaming, you only have to map the buttons the first time you do it. 3 Seconds :)
@@PDubsArcadeLoft I get that, but I can do already all you said, on my computer or on my tv in the living room; so the advantage of getting a dedicated arcade machine is to have the convenience to not have to swap things around :)
I won't use arcadenet, nor any of their paid services because it makes no sense at all, when I can stream my games via Geforce now or Steam link in my living room with a 60' display. I just want an easy setup to dump all my favorite games on it and play without use neither the living room tv nor the computer, and if I can have the Raspberry pi connected on the arcade machine 24/7, that's really all I am going to use, considering that the board they use to power the machine has a pretty cheap chipset and you can't even replace the internal roms or make any changes, so the first thing for me when I get the arcade is to permanently replace the internal board with a Pi4, which can play any games up to a dreamcast or saturn system, and can have as much storage I want.
This cabinet is great for the people that have limited ability to set up their own machine, but for everyone else, all you care in the end is the fact that the unit is well built and has decent layout, so you can mod it with better hardware ;)
@@fcf8269 as you pointed out - everyone's needs and wants vary - this is for folks who want to connect a raspberry pi (or even coinops) to their arcade machine without having to gut the original arcade machine using the arcade joysticks/buttons (vs. a handheld controller) for an 'arcade experience' obviously sounds like it's not for you, not a worry at all in my book. Keep Gamin'!
@@PDubsArcadeLoft Indeed it is not for me; as soon as I get the legends ultimate I will just dump the main controller guts and replace it with the RPI instead. I get that the whole point of Atgames is to sell the easiest configuration possible, and maybe find someone that is interested in their paid services; but still the whole cabinet cost less than buying a plain cabinet; so it is still a good deal even if you throw away their mainboard
@@fcf8269 sounds like a plan - sell that mainboard on ebay or something though ;)
havent jumped on the pi bus yet. mk arcade games not running correctly is a deal breaker for me.
Plenty of other ways to play games on here, try Coinops!
PDubs , another great video my friend and thanks for what you do ! Im running virtualmans buildon a pi3 with the otg cable and the controller shows as a linux and when i start to map the keys they wont map. I have an xbox bue tooth controller synced and working........maybe the xbox blue tooth controller synced is causing probs....Just curious on anyone's thoughts or help ?
Thanks for the compliment only Pi3B+ and Pi4 will work 3B or 3 will not work.
@@PDubsArcadeLoft Im sorry I should of said it but I have the Pi3B+
who the fool who gave my new friend a thumbs down ? Grrrrrrr......
Lol I dont know
Patrick, the bill on your hat is as flat as a pancake. That’s never going to block any sunlight.....never.
