These are the good Consoles that have the pinball buttons on the sides.

Supports rotating monitors upright mode (or turning your projector on it's side)

Comes with 150 games, but you can load 10000s coin op games yourself

You can use it as a Steam controller or PC controller with USB

Has new 1.1 trackball

Supports 2 players, or for dual joystick for Robotron

You can use it wirelessly via bluetooth ( I would not do that, because anything wireless in gaming seems laggy to me, but YMMV)

I assume this will sell out fast

Guts of the deck

Looks like all standard buttons and controls. Easy to replace if you wear out a switch, or want to go crazy with LED lighted stuff

Check out the blue single cell rechargeable battery, lol

Of course.

If something is going to suck (for gaming or audio) it's going to be bluetooth.

Just like headphones, plug it in with a wire for best performance!

Even if ATgames went out of business and all the circuit boards fried, you could just put a raspberry pi inside of it

You are not helpless

I got a laugh looking at the guts and seeing that single Blue rechargeable battery cell inside... Like an '80s Bally

It's on the front, next to the connector you use if you want to replace the ATgames stand up version's control panel

The green glowing hockey puck brain that it comes with, even has USB 3.1

The smoker I have, has 4 bluetooth probes, and will lose connection somehow if I'm more than 25 feet from the grill.

I put my tablet at the backdoor to monitor - much easier than it connecting and re-connecting constantly to my phone

Kids are making them nice with pretty lights...

14 pound box, nope, GameStop did not double box it

Nothing can get past Murderhornet's inspection

Includes the shortest HDMI cable I have ever seen

Trackball has good heft, still slightly lighter than the old Wico's

IMG_20220309_132702__01.jpg

You can, with a USB dock/hub (see post further down the thread)

Or on a PC or other gaming console, there are obviously multiple USB ports available

1/8” acrylic top, very nice.

In theory, you could print new graphics and lay the clear acrylic over the top to customize.

Joysticks have nice positive click in eight directions, buttons click at about 3/4 of their travel

Much better than I expected

IMG_20220309_134944.jpg

You can charge the wireless deck with USB or a 12 volt , Center positive, wall wart adapter

I would have expected the power adapter to also require 5 volts like the USB port

The white connector is if you want to drop this deck into the ATgames stand up arcade machine.

IMG_20220309_135735.jpg

You could get one dual deck for you, and one single for friends

Realistically, how many 2 player trackball games do you play?

Atari X&O football is the only one I can think of from the top of my head

For all that money, it better be

It's like $250 nowadays and does not come with a computer brain unit, it's just a control panel

I'm sure you can upgrade your trackball, but when I tried the X-arcade, it seemed fine to me.

The D/L you want is called "Coinops X Arcade Version 5 Is Alive Saucey Edition" , it's usually near the top

archive.org needs you to sign up to download a file that large, it's free and legit, don't worry - it's like a 70gb download

If you already have an archive.org account, the direct link is https://archive.org/details/getsauceywithCoinopsX_ArcadeV5

I'd use the torrent file, just in case you get interrupted during the d/l

You plug it into the puck using a USB hub

Flips your joystick restrictor plate from 4-way to 8-way on the fly

Super clever, uses a little motor, $19 on Amazon

You probably only need 1, because most 4-way games are single player at time

Did those fit your TB?

The kid at GS said the consoles in the plain brown boxes were newer, with a different TB

Old version:

Sweet, I'll have to give them a shot

Thanks!

If you want to create your own graphics to go under the acrylic top, ATgames has provided a template here:

Just like the upright, you MUST oil the 5 ball bearing assemblies

Directions on next page...

Feel each rubber foot at the bottom and figure out where the screw hole is.

Lift back part of the rubber foot and remove the dozen screws with a #2 Phillips
IMG_20220313_175136.jpg

Before removing the bottom, carefully disconnect the two ribbon cables that go to the pinball buttons on each side of the bottom of the case, don't accidentally rip them out.

Using a #0 Phillips, remove the three tiny screws that hold the trim ring to TB

Ball will instantly drop out, so be ready for it

IMG_20220313_180419__01.jpg

Remove the four #2 Philips screws from the underside of the control deck and the ribbon cable from the trackball assembly

Now you will see the x and y directional encoder shafts, and the freewheeling z-axis

Note the orientation of the z axis shaft as it has two different size appendages, and a tiny Teflon spacer

IMG_20220313_181126__01.jpg

Using a needle oiler or toothpick, carefully drip some light oil into the grooves that lead inside the bearing cage.

You can use sewing machine oil, zoom spout, or super lube Teflon - whatever you use on your playfield spinners

You will see the oil get absorbed into the grooves as you turn the bearings

About the 20th spin you will notice that the bearings now spin free

Don't leave any excess oil on the shaft, clean up with acetone or brake cleaner on a q-tip. Otherwise the ball will collect dust

IMG_20220313_181442__01.jpg

Now the trackball will spin like a sonobitch.

Also note, the new Sauce software released this weekend fixes the trackball problems in centipede and millipede that were introduced by the .59 firmware

You might wait a few days for bug reports, but so far it seems like there were only a few

Make sure you buy a fast USB 3.1 mem stick, or it will take forever to copy the 6000 coinop games onto it.

Make sure you put the stick into a fast USB3 (usually blue) port on your computer when you copy. If you have a desktop, choose a USB3 port that is on the motherboard itself, not the jacks in the front.

Amazon is notorious for selling counterfeit mem sticks (even if "sold by amazon"), so get yours from Adorama or B&H Photo to be sure it's real:

You are going to want a USB 3 hub, so you can plug the Mem stick and the Control Deck in at the same time to the Puck (or multiple controllers).

This is a nice, compact unit, that actually has a USB3 chipset inside (many have blue ports, but still only do USB2 speeds)

I've tested this, it works fine:

https://www.amazon.com/USB-3-0-Hub-Splitter-Individual/dp/B07FCKTG8L

61cMw89D7FL._AC_SL1000_ (resized).jpg

This looks insane and it does not help that everything is black, lol

But this configuration works perfectly:

1. USB Hub captive cable from Hub to USB 3 port on Puck

2. Micro USB Power Cable from wall wart that came with the Control Deck

3. USB Mem Stick

4. USB A/Micro Cable from Hub (USB A) to power Input on Puck (Micro USB)

5. USB A/A Cable From Hub to Control Deck (I used a 15 foot, braided cable)

6. HDMI Cable to Monitor (make sure if you are using a television, you plug into the port marked GAME). If your tv is old and does not have a GAME port, turn off all the processing BS like "Smoothing, noise reduction, scaling", for the quickest response time, for that port. Some tvs allow any port to become GAME, but you have to dig into the menus to access it.

IMG_20220317_224730__01.jpg

If you are like me, you want the ATgames to boot directly into all the 6000 coinop arcade games 95% of the time.

This feature is actually buried in the menus:

First, go to Basic Settings
IMG_20220317_222439__01.jpg

Then go to Advanced Settings
IMG_20220317_222509.jpg

Then find Startup Page, it's buried on Page 3

IMG_20220317_222418.jpg

Then go to Installed Apps

IMG_20220317_222337.jpg

Finally, choose CoinOPSX

Now as soon as you power up, it will start with the 6000 game splash screen!

(your wife and kids will thank you for not having to try to find and launch the coin-ops games, when all they want to do is play a quick game of Ms Pacman)
IMG_20220317_222401.jpg

Your wife and kids will also appreciate if you print them a Reference Card (sticker?), showing how to navigate through 6K games.

Otherwise, the choices can be overwhelming to someone who just wants to turn it on and go

(print the 3rd choice, "Legends Ultimate", if you got the $99 deal )

Probably a counterfeit memory stick.

If you ever go on the Canon camera or drone forums, you will see thousands upon thousands of people who have bought counterfeit memory devices from Amazon

Because memory sticks are popular, other unscrupulous sellers will fill Amazon's warehouses with counterfeit product. Because the UPCs are the same, Amazon workers are allowed to pull from the other seller's stockpiles, contaminating the supply.

Milwaukee tools won't honor any Amazon purchased tool warranties, because they are all fakes. Amazon even appears to have an official **Milwaukee Store**, lol....it looks very convincing.

From the moment I flick the power strip, it takes 1:47 for CoinOPSX to begin

I never set up wifi, so I'm not sure if that affects boot time.... but if it's asking for me to log in, I never see it under the splash screen

Screenshot_20220322-174104.jpg

What version of the firmware are you running?

What version of CoinOPSX are you running?

Press RWD button to exit from the Games Menu

Trackball fix for Cent and Mill needs latest firmware AND you need the new SaUCEy 5 from a week ago (the correct one is called "full fix" )

Make sure you are plugged in with a USB cable, as it's possible no one bothered to assign the RWD button in bluetooth (or go into settings while connected with BT, and assign the RWD button yourself)

Just a guess, but worth a try...

Back in stock again if it was sold out for you last time

Turn off your wifi on the puck.

Kids figured out that if wifi is on, you can't exit Coinopsx with the RWD button

I don't have have access to the stand up version to test

Try disabling the WiFi from the menu

Then reboot, and log in from the Cat5

Set it up to boot directly into CoinOPSX, then disconnect the Cat5

Reboot, and see if it just goes into CoinOPSX while unable to find a network.....

I'd copy it over to a super fast usb 3.1 memory stick if it takes more than 2 minutes to load, as anyone selling pirate games is not going to worry about giving you a genuine memory stick

Don't buy stick from Amazon !

Use an "exact copy" program, because each stick becomes encrypted to the console

Here is latest version review from Wagner

Even has it hooked up to Raspberry Pi for some other fun options

CoinOpsX 6 comes out February 3rd

Tons more games, works with the way beefier Atgames Core Max puck, no logging in (although I'm sure you guys have already figured out how to avoid that BS), plays all the CD music games, kids are beta testing it right now.

Don't buy the Core Max Puck now, word on the street is it will be $75 on Black Friday
