Custom Firmware for Atgames Legends Flashback with support for Arcade games

[rrifonas]

Oh? Safe to assume you are already taking a look at the device rrifonas?

Nope, I couldn't find one in DFW yet. I've seen the core and the assets but I don't have them.

No waaaaaaaaay, did they get the ROM from the actual promo cabinets? Those were basically PCs in Donkey Kong machines.

Is there a dump of it anywhere?

@CeeDee You can take a look at this thread...

About the variant consoles. The one on the left that says "Arcade Legends Flashback" was purchased in illnois at a meijers. There is another guy from Ilinois who has a youtube channel called "Tim's Tiny Arcade". He has the same "Arcade Legends Flashback" model. The models I got from Walmart here in Illinois say "Legends Flashback". They seem to be the same, I can tell you Mortal Kombat is not on either unit. The boxes of the two units are identical (The box says "Legends Flashback"). some info on the bottom of the deck is different tho. The picture you showed says "At@Games Classic Flashback" on the unit, but "Arcade Legends Flashback" on the box, so maybe that's a mockup/prototype deck.

Question. Is there a way to run everything off the sd card like the Atari FB9 CFW so we can add roms and artwork to the main UI?

Ahh, I was looking specifically for an AtGames dump to see if/how it differed from that one (which I already have)

remember those can not be shared in a forum like this. they would contained copyrighted material and such.

Interesting... so they are the 'same device', and both were found in US...

The current CFW already supports the /rom folder in the SD Card, but it doesn't dump your partition. I've made a test firmware with the same script from the Atari FB9 CFW plus overclock to 1.2GHz, but I didn't have time to test it properly.

im gonna take a guess and say they just ordered a new batch of external shells and started using those at one point or another.

I asked "is there" not "where" or "give me" - important distinction. I just wanna know if it exists somewhere for me to dig up.

 

[WD_GASTER2]

from what the internet show, there is a trace of existence of it somewhere.

I would start by taking a look where rrifonas suggested you start reading.

My point is that's an oooold dump back from 2014. Again, I was curious if the one on the AtGames machine differed, and if there was a dump of the AtGames 2019 machine, or at least the Felix from it.

 

[WD_GASTER2]

I will be able to tell you if it differs myself tonight. I’m getting the 2019 version in the mail

I was hoping to add to/edit the main UI. Overclock would be great!

Ayy, rad. I've heard the version online is a beta or early version.

 

[Deleted member 502272]

any word on the Legends FB 2 yet?
has anyone gotten their hands on one?

 

[WD_GASTER2]

i did. snes emulation is ok. twice the memory and nand is double the size.

Just got an 11$ 2018 unit at walmart today.
I'm anxious to try out this CFW.
Thanks to rrifonas for making it!
Before I slog through setting all this up with my phone (no pc at the moment), I just wanted to get some clarification as to what this machine can emulate.
If I'm understanding correctly, I'll be able to play sms, gg, md, arcade games from the mame 2000 set, arcade games from the fba set, and nes games?
No snes or tg16?

 

[Deleted member 502272]

that's correct.
from what I understand they tried swapping in the snes core and there were issues with the button mapping.

 

[Vanya]

Thanks. Here's hoping something develops on that front in the future.

Got around to putting some nes games in the GAME foldar in the .nes format, but none of them will run.
I installed the v2 CFW.
Is there anything I need to do so that they'll run?

 

[rrifonas]

The file names can not have spaces. This is the most common issue.

 

[Vanya]

Yeah. I noticed my mistake right after I had posted.

Here's a better question. Can I set up custom controller configurations?
And what can I do with the ini file beyond what is already there?
