DIY Bartop Arcade with the AtGames Legends Connect Board
109The AtGames Legends Connect is a single board that comes loaded with the entire AtGames ecosystem. The purpose of this device is to give DIY modders a simple and easy to use plug and play solution that will allow you to not only play your favourite games, but also connect with other players, download and purchase additional games or applications and even allow for home PC streaming to your newly created arcade device.
Last year (2020) I was one of three hosts of a competition in which you had a budget of $300 dollars and an AtGames Legends Connect board to make a product that others could recreate within that price point. I was asked to create a simple build along side the 5 contestants, I decided to make a Bartop Arcade.
If you are interested some of the parts I used, I will leave some links below.
