I added 900 Atari 2600 Games to the Gamestation Pro and it's completely awesome - Retro Game Players

[@RetroGamePlayers]

Thanks! I've definitely picked up some odd games for the system over the years. Keep it retro!!

Could you do a step-by-step instruction on how to install the community firmware update from the Brad_from_the_80s (on Atariage) and how to add everything needed for the micro SD (games)?

[@PitfallHarry72]

There's a way to add 900+ games to the Atari Flashback 50th Anniversary Gold and 12 Gold, where the games are in the regular menu rather than in a list on the micro SD card. I hope some adventuresome person comes up with a way to do something similar the Gamestation Pro. I know you can add them to the menu one by one to look like they were included, but you have to do them one at a time, which would get old REALLY quickly with 900+ games. For reference, the controllers are 2.4GHz wireless, not Bluetooth. Also, while in the main menu, you can push Home + Start on the controller and it will switch to the SD card, so no need to turn the unit off to get there. With the new firmware you can also now use subfolders with the card, and they've now added functionality to the paddle knob for 2600 paddle games on the card. You have to put those games in a folder or subfolder named Atari 2600 Paddle.

Thank you, this is super informative! Yeah, the potential of this system is pretty awesome actually.

@@travisv6408 I've been planning on trying this, but just haven't as of yet.

First time I have come across your channel, but I plan to check out other video content you have made, who knows, I might even subscribe. However, as a thank you for providing me with information I value, in addition to none of the channels I do subscribe to having mentioned one word about this retro system, I will share the one Atari 2600 cheat code I know. Now, it appears that you a true fan of the Atari 2600, like most people who grew up with one, so you should appreciate this, although it probably won't work on the My Arcade Gamestation Pro, and because you are an Atari 2600 fanatic, you likely are already aware of said cheat code. It would be cool if you were unaware so I could actually give something back to you, but if not, then it is here for any of your viewers who might still have a functioning Atari 2600 VCS with a Space Invaders cartridge. This cheat code will give you the ability to shoot twice, it allows a double-shot. Now, I don't mean that you fire once, and two shots emerge simultaneous, but rather it allows the player to shoot a second shot before your previous shot leaves the screen, or collides with an object. You will be able to have two of your bullets/lasers on screen simultaneously, and as soon as one of them disappears by either exiting at the top of the screen, or by hitting something, you will be able to fire again. Anywhere here is the code: when powering up the Atari 2600 VCS with, obviously, the Space Invaders cartridge inserted, hold the reset switch down as you turn the power on, once the switch is in the 'on' position, you can release the reset switch, and you should have double-shot capability. Enjoy!!!

If you have upgraded to the 1.30 ROM on your Gamestation Pro or yours already has the 1.30 ROM, you can setup subfolders under the Games folder now, to put the games in respective folders, so you don't have to dump all of the ROM files in the Games folder. Also, you can press the red home and start buttons together to get the SD Card menu instead of having to press the reset or power on/off button. Depending how many ROMs you have put on the SD Card, it could take a few minutes or many minutes before you get a list of games. It is quicker to make the subfolders under the Games folder and put the ROMs based on which system they are for for the Games folder to load quicker.

Long time no talk! How’s the arcade? Do you have Popeye?

[@RetroGamePlayers]

Hey man! yeah the arcade is going great! Still no Popeye, I haven't seen any for sale in my area. I only know one guy who has one and he loves it.

[@ThinkerOnTheBus]

Yes, the original arcade cabinet featured a spinner controller, a rotating knob. The fact you are not able to use the spinner on the controllers for the Gamestation Pro does suck because a joystick, as opposed to a spinner, is significantly more difficult to operate precisely in regards to controlling your speed.
