In this video I take a look at a new retrogaming device that offers 200 built in games, two joysticks, and the ability to add games/use alternative controllers. The price is $99.99 with places such as Costco offering this at $79.99. Link for more info: atari.com/blogs/newsroom/my-a... #gamestation

Great review, John! I do want to recommend for those who want to add games from multiple systems: use separate microSD cards for each system. If you throw thousands of ROMs onto a single card, there is no folder system to sort them out, so they will all be in one folder. Separate cards will make game searching much easier.

If you get an Atari 2600+ check Atari CX-22 Trackball compatibility, it does not work on the stock firmware of the Retron 77 or the Atari Flashback 3 sadly. I do use it in Joystick mode, it only seems to work with original hardware. I do need to update my Retron 77's firmware.

Yeah IDK about your community builds. It was only me and rocketfan, basically, doing it for the flashbacks. The stella guys tinkered with the retron77 until they broke paddle support and seemed to just give up. You know, that first screen menu with local and sd card storage option looks identical to the Arcade1up Pacman and Megaman micro consoles. Second, the GSP looks like it has a lot of the shit we added to the Flashback Nexus Project. In fact the Nexus Project does so so much more than the GSP. Lastly, you guys need to put some sega cd bios and try some sega cd games in BIN+CUE format. You might also try Sega SG-1000 and Master System ROMs, I would guess they would work. Have fun, but dont hold your breath on a community build.

The firmware update made it a lot better. Navigation of the games is improved, actual gameplay is improved and they added the ability to use subfolders on the micro SD card for your ROMs. Even better, they made it so that 2600 paddle games on the micro SD card actually use the paddle knob on the controller instead of the joystick. They have to be in a folder titled "Atari 2600 Paddle", but it works! 🙂 That My Arcade is actually listening to their customers and making improvements so quickly is kind of shocking, to be honest. I'm loving this thing, even more than my 2600+ and my Flashback 12 Gold.

I got it mainly for the black and white 70s arcade titles. There are quite a few errors there. Tournament Table only played breakout and had an area the paddle skips over. Ultra Tank has a weird control mapping but no options for walls, mines, bounce shots, etc. Super Breakout arcade version only plays the Progressive option. No cavity or Double. Track difficulty seems to be missing from Monte Carlo. Warlords has a semi dead zone in the middle of the paddle where you have to turn twice as much kinda on the arcade version. I, Robot plays "drifty" like it takes a while to stop. There are other issues but for the 2600, 5200 and 7800 stuff it's pretty decent.

So this system and the updated retron with community builds have their specific issues with paddle games. These seem like a cool gift to get someone into Atari but a rpi with full stella and 2600daptor is still the way to go. I'm considering a 2600+. I don't mind emulation but any system that uses it should at least have a sd card slot and be fully updateable and properly work with paddles.

Hi John. I just wanted to say another great video from a great honest guy. I really respect you and your content. Keep up the great work I'm glad you have really smashed it, and your a credit to your parents. Legends in hard times are bigger legends.

Got one yesterday, piece of junk. Returned it today. Super glitchy, kept freezing, Home button on joysticks rarely worked. Like you said John, the paddle on super breakout was not great. Many little problems. When I returned it, the lady at Costco said lots of them are getting returned. I was hoping....but its not great. Thanks for your review John. Glad you had better luck with yours.

Be sure you use the proper power supply. I understand just plugging into pc is glitchy due to power difference.

no Lynx ? no Jaguar ? no 8-bit ? no ST ? can we use an Arcade Stick ( w/USB adapter , of course) ? Sounds good, just needs a few tweeks ! maybe sub-menu folders in updates

May not be powerful for Jaguar but hopefully ST, 8 bit and Lynx can be added

Seems odd for this console and Atari + releasing in the same time window. They'll be competing against each other for the same market share.

Don’t buy this for 5200. There are hardly any games and two of the games are rough prototypes. Buy the Switch Flashback Classics collection if you want the best collection of 5200 games commercially available on modern systems.

Hello John! Someone on AA has reported that they have the XBox One controller you linked in your comments but it doesn't work on the Gamestation Pro. It looks like you show a different controller in your review. Can you please confirm?

Great video. Instead of the bonus games, this should have had way more 5200 and 7800 games. Should have come with a brick . The price point is excellent.

It couldn’t have done any other 5200 games without more buttons or an onscreen keyboard.
