Customers say
Customers find the Atari game station fun to play and consider it a nice system, though the game variety and functionality receive mixed reviews – while some say it has a lot of games and works great, others find the selection unimpressive and the controllers don’t work well. The build quality and controller quality also get mixed feedback, with some saying it’s well-made while others report poor quality and controllers that can be buggy. Customers report significant lag issues with the controller, and while the setup process is straightforward, the instructions lack helpful guidance.

A ton of fun!!!
The first one I got was used, so I didn’t even bother trying it. I don’t blame this on Amazon, but rather the particular seller. I sent it back and ordered another one, which was new.This is a great system. It was easy to set up and get to playing. The selection of games on it is very good, though it is missing some of my favorites. However, the great thing about this system is that you can also play games it doesn’t come with using a micro SD card.The console…It’s well built and looks quite nice. The placement of the two USB-C ports on the front for wired controller connection is great, especially in comparison to other Atari retro consoles, and even the original 2600. The controller ports being in the back of those was always a bit unwieldy, while being in the front is just natural. The top is simple, with a Power and Home button, the latter of which is also on each controller. The ring lights are also nice looking, and they’re adjustable, from the default, alternating rainbow colors to solid white and solid orange. You adjust the lights with the Menu button on the controllers. The USB-C power port and full size HDMI ports are on the back, and well placed. And the best part… the micro SD card slot, which is on the left side. The console has a bit of weight, which adds to it feeling more solid, though some of that weight comes from a metal plate on the inside that they added to make it feel heavier. Still, its heft is nice.The controllers…For most games they’re very good. The joystick part feels quite different from a traditional CX-40 Atari joystick, both in its style and the way it feels, but it’s quite nice. Not cheap feeling. They have a light ring around the bottom of the joystick, corresponding with the lights around the Power and Home buttons on the console. They also have a small rotatable knob used for Paddle games, and it’s actually quite nice. It turns very smoothly, with just a little resistance. Now I say the controllers are very good for “most” games, as some games require the use of more than just the A button, and the positioning of the B and C buttons can make games that require the use of them, such as the Arcade version of Missile Command, much less enjoyable to play, if not downright unenjoyable. Other than that, the controllers are quite good. The weight is also quite nice when the batteries are installed. On the top, there are Home, Select and Start buttons. On the back is a Menu button, a connectivity light, a USB-C port and a power switch.Some people have found that input latency is a problem when using the controllers. Because it uses the common wireless 2.4GHz protocol, other devices that use 2.4GHz, such as routers, TVs, mice, etc. can interfere with the signal, causing issues. However, these controllers can be used wired, though you have to provide your own USB-C to USB-C cables. This will eliminate all of the wireless related latency. And when using them wired, you don’t have to use batteries in them, though without the batteries they’ll be considerably lighter in weight.With this said, I notice barely any input latency at all when using them wirelessly. The latency is so little that it’s nearly imperceptible. In fact, it’s less than with both my 2600+ and Flashback 12, and both of those use wired controllers.Other…Though the unit comes with a USB-A to USB-C power cable, it does not come with a power adapter. You need to provide a 5V adapter of at least 2A.It also comes with an HDMI cable.Summary…All in all this is a great system. It’s a lot of fun. The selection of games is quite good and the game play is outstanding, even for the paddle games. There is also new firmware available and there are videos on YouTube that give step by step instructions on how to update it. Mine came with version 1.20, and the new firmware is version 1.30. It contains some bug fixes as well as changing the games layout on the screen, making it easier to sort through them.Two pieces of advice:- If you’re using a modern TV, make sure to set the TV to Game mode in the picture settings. Without doing so, the latency can be fairly noticeable, as the TV processes a lot of things for the picture. Game mode disables all of that extra picture processing, making the picture response much more real time.- This is an important one. Look at the seller reviews before you buy this, and make sure to buy it from a good one.

Poor quality. Even poorer support.
Be prepared to be underwhelmed. The joysticks are an abomination to use. The sticks have very little travel. The B button is positioned quite awkwardly on the top of the stick, and the C button is right where you’d grip the controller. The trackball emulator is alright for what it does, but it’s awkwardly positioned on the upper right side of the stick.The emulation is fine, but you can do better with OSS and a PC. Which brings me to the real reason this gets ONE star (a half-star if I could). NO support for firmware update for Mac OR Linux users. So you must have a Windows machine to update the device.In 2023, it’s not difficult to provide Linux support for firmware updates. It doesn’t have to be simple, nor does it have to have a GUI, though it takes a TRIVIAL amount of work to make a Linux firmware tool. I have made them myself, and i have used them for other devices like keyboards and portable music players. It’s a TRAVESTY that in this day and age, you have to keep a Windows 10 (or later) PC around to update firmware for things like this. It’s a trivial job to do and nothing Windows has makes it “better” suited for firmware updates. It’s as if My Arcade can’t port things to Mac or Linux?Fine, if the programmers at My Arcade are not versed in Windows, hire some. But to avoid Mac too? That’s tragic. This could’ve been a decent emulation station *IF* it had better support for the millions of enthusiasts who like retro gaming but do NOT own a Windows machine.Sad. You really duffed this one, My Arcade.

Fun little retro system with 80’s vibes
First off, there are quite a few games included but unfortunately many of the best Atari arcade and console games were not amongst this collection. However, that is where the SD Card comes in. You can use 2600, 5200, and 7800, and other systems ROM images loaded on to the card.Before you start with the SD Card, ensure you update the firmware from their website. It includes a lot of enhancements as to the SD Card management. Most of all it allows you to use a folder structure. From what I have tested, most of the 2600, 520, and 7800 ROMs all work. I am not sure about the homebrew games, but I’ve read they are hit or miss.MAME Roms also work. However I am not sure what version of MAME emulation is being used so not all of my ROMs are loading. I’m mostly using older retro ROMS which the system can handle. I wouldn’t try using ROMS from the mid 90’s or later. The system is probably not powerful enough to handle most of those. I’ve gotten games like moon patrol, Elevator Action, Dig Dug to work, but other older games like Galaga don’t load. I’m sure it is just the ROM version I have and that the correct one would load.I’ve also attempted NES, Colecovision, Genesis and Intellivision ROMS. NES and Genesis work (have to be extracted from the ZIP file) but I have not been able to get Coleco or Intellivision to work. In fact the directory shows empty when I point to them to try and load the games.The controllers I am not a huge fan of. Although they are similar in style to the Atari 2600, the button placement (especially the B) seems awkward to me. I’ve read people have been able to use other controllers but I have not tried yet. For basic games the controller is fine however. I do like how they integrated a paddle onto the controller as well. Another issue with the controller is that I have had a bit of latency once in a while, but most of the time it is fine.Overall definitely worth buying for a mini-retro console even though there are more powerful out there and it has a few quirks. Maybe they will continue to update features in firmware to enhance it even more in the future

Fonctionne parfaitement correspond à la description

Es una pasada tanto sus mandos como la consola. Si te gusta el cacharreo y entiendes algo de informática es muy fácil añadirle más juegos de todas las Atari, y consolas retro varias además de arcade, a través de su entrada de tarjeta micro SD. En Youtube hay videos. Muy contento con la compra!

Witam, kupiłem i oddaję. Opóźnienia kontrolerów nie są dla mnie do zaakceptowania.Nastawiłem się głównie na ponga i te pokrętła na joysticku….Opóźnienia i nierówne przemieszczanie “paletek” po ekranie wygląda jak na starej konsoli pong z zaśniedziałymi potencjometrami (osoby, które się wychowały na poczciwym pongu Elwro, wiedzą o co chodzi)

Heb hem een paar dagen geprobeerd, werkt prima ook de joysticks , paddel werkt bij mij ook perfect.De ingebouwde games zijn ook heel goed te spelen.De paddel op de joystick is heel gevoelig wat ik wel fijn vind spelen. Geen spijt is gewoon weer een super product.
