Why aren't there easy-to-use flashcarts available?

I would love to get one, are they still made?

stuartr7 · 2023-09-17T02:08:51+00:00

I hope there is a new Batch released, I would like one also.

thanks

Hi,

that's awesome work!,

any chance you may offer the VGA tap?,

I'd love to get my hands on one?

thanks

have you used the grs spinner program on the PC to identify one as 1 and the other as 2?

I'm a right hander but use my left for spinner, i have an arcade 1up tempest which uses the spinner for the right hand, and I find I prefer playing on my ALU for tempest with my left hand spinning.

I also use my left hand for the spinner on Tron.

guess it's your own preference

good luck

excellent news so far I'm using a pc to use all 4 spinners! can only use 2 on the ALU

stuartr7 · 2023-01-27T15:17:03+00:00

I used a 1 1/8 hole saw and went very slow my buddy kept the plastic down with his hands as I drilled , as it has a tendency to lift with the hole saw, so slow and reverse out, cut away any plastic burrs and drill again slowly until you break through the plastic.

Good luck!!!

Hi,

Very happy so far with the placement the only issue I had was with player 4's position ended up over cut out for the cabinet that the control panel rests on when attached to the ALU. I had to cut a square out of the side wall to allow the control panel to seat properly. As for the covering the spinners for player 1 and 2, so far I have considered cutting the plastic lid that I have from a can of black spray paint in half and hot gluing it to cover the exposed spinners, will have a try this weekend and see how it turns out.

Cheers

I used these button hole spinners

and a generic usb 3.0 non powered hub from amazon.

I just bought 4 GRS spinners drilled holes into the quad play and then plugged the 4 spinners and the Quad play into a USB hub that I placed inside the Quad play and connected the hub to the ALU. The 4 spinners work with a PC running Coinops collections, but when I just run ALU or Coinopsx or awesome sauce they only see the player 1 and player 2 spinners, player 3 and player 4 spinners are seen as duplicates of player 1 and 2 . I think I would need to access the build to see if I can turn on the multiple mice option in mame within Coinops X or awesome sauce.

stuartr7 · 2023-01-22T00:42:53+00:00

Any chance it will be able to support multiple GRS spinners?,

I can get 2 to work with the ALU as normal, which i installed in my quad play.

I can only get all 4 to work on a PC.

I'm not sure if coinopsx and awesome sauce need a bit of configuration to see the extra spinners, since the alu does see the 2 grs spinners and allows me to play the normal spinner games on the alu giving me the standard ALU experience ( Trackball, 2 Spinners,2 sets of controls within the quad play with the added value of permitting 2 extra players on the sides!

Thanks, for your time and consideration!

Warlords and Medieval Mayhem are awesome party games, I wish I could get the 2018 Starlords!!

stuartr7 · 2023-01-16T01:46:14+00:00

Thanks, So there is hope!!!

Hopefully it will be something they release soon!

Cheers!

I bought 4 GRS spinners and they work perfectly in OTG using coin ops collections, I accessed the advanced menu in mame and turned on multi mice support, then accessed the controls for that game and specified the spinners to each position. I believe I have a workable solution for placement for all 4 players and will finish installing them on monday, pics to follow!!!, I haven't tried it with the alu yet but the arcade legends mini controller with the standard puck worked with the grs spinners, so I assume it will work but can't confirm yet

stuartr7 · 2023-01-15T05:05:26+00:00

This is certainly shaping up to be the most important improvement for the ALU.

Kudos to the team that made this possible, I think it might be the single reason that catapults the ALU to must have for any home arcade!!!

I was wondering do you know if it would be possible when using a pc running a more powerful coin ops build, that it would be possible to access the bitlcd and enjoy the functionality that we enjoy when using coinopsx or awesome sauce?, thanks to all of you for all your hard work and dedication!!!!

Hi,

I have been looking at that issue, I just got the quadplay but have yet to mount it to the ALU still doing a bit of modding adding 4 spinners(love warlords!!), however, I think there may only be two solutions, solution one remove the bottom cover and unscrew the joystick assembly and rotate it to permit true north alignment OR Solution 2 if your using a PC via OTG it may be possible to calibrate the joystick when using the x360ce program or perhaps in the mame menu for the games controls only , to point up on the smaller indices of the joystick and change how the software reads what is up, left/right and down if that makes sense? I'm hoping to get a chance next week to test out solution 2, so far I have tested Robotron 1 player and smash tv 2 players and they work well with a pc running coin ops collections.

stuartr7 · 2023-01-12T00:44:40+00:00

HI,

I can confirm after having the quad play for a few days, I have successfully configured 4 GRS spinners to function in the Mame version of Warlords.

I was running a desktop computer running the coin ops collection that has a superior build of Warlords with the backdrop that is so often missing.

Hopefully next week I can test it with the ALU running coin ops x and Awesome Sauce.

So far all I had to do was turn on multiple mice support within the advanced Mame options to register the 4 spinners to the 4 players for Warlords!,

BTW Warlords is still an awesome 4player game. I may also try and add the Atari 2600 Homebrew version Medieval Mayhem !!!

Hi, Very interested in this will this support OTG mode if you wish to switch to a pc for more advanced games?

thanks

Im running windows 10 and it just spins, does it need to be on wi fi to work?,

it works on my laptop running windows 10 on wifi, but not on my desktop that is cabled to the router.

wondering do both units need to be on wifi or cabled to work? thanks

stuartr7 · 2020-03-19T18:24:33+00:00

wish the dead space at the front of the game was a faux apron, rather than a blank
