What do you think of this lil unit? Comment below and don't forget to like and subscribe!
Made me want to buy one
For its price point, the GSP is the best emulator out there. What's really cool is you can utilize your PS5 and Xbox Series X controllers (wired via usb-c) for awesome game play. And the micro sd card slot is where the real goldmine value is found. You simply can't go wrong with this purchase. I'm actually playing my GSP more than any other system I own and I have many platforms at my disposal. Great video and seeya on the next one, Mur!!!
That's gonna be lit! (Do people still say that?) Im gonna load some Genesis & Master System stuff on this bad boy and then probably play the Renovation classics first! Good to see ya, Mark!
I just got a barely used one for $20! Jackpot! Thanks for the great review.
Score!! $20 is a fantastic deal. Thanks so much for watching this!
@@Emceemur I subscribed and now I have to watch more of your videos. You've got a great energy about you!
@@gklinger I appreciate that! And glad to have you aboard. We have a lot of fun on this show. Definitely would like to hear what you think about the rest of the content. 👍
After your solid review, it looks worth the money. I like the 7800 look it has, too. Nice to know the controllers are high quality.
Good eye! That's what it made me think of. That brush metal finish on the 7800 accent. And yeah, the controllers were a high point for me. Because generally u get cheapos with plug n plays and these are heavy duty with rgb lighting lol.
Great review! I never owned an Atari system before but this unit looks nice and at a decent price! Plus you can add roms to it which is an awesome bonus! Can't wait to see what you add to it! Great video and keep up the good work!
As I understand, it will emulate Master System games so THAT is gonna be happening
Short and sweet episode! Thanks Mur! Can't wait to see you blow this sucker out! Podcast please!!!
I'm definitely gonna rod this sucker out. Update on that soon. And the podcast is officially returning now. I'm gearing up for season 2 as we speak.
You do what other channels can not for me. Make picking videos and review videos I enjoy equally. Love to see a video where you load this system with games.
I'm glad you like the variety! I enjoy the hunting but every so often there's a review I think will be helpful. I will be doing a tutorial vid on modding this unit and Im interested to see how many different consoles it can do.
I realize it's been 2 months since this presentation but I haven't forgotten about modding this thing and the specifics for a video!
I have the Atari 2600+ already. This is still really cool though for sure. Awesome to see the channel getting some attention partnering up. On a side note I think Dash Galaxy is a fun game. Nostalgia factor of course. Can totally see how some don't like it which is fine. How was your Christmas and the new year so far Mur?
The holidays flew by but they were decent. How was yours? I'm looking forward to loading this thing up with more games and I'll be doing that soon. Dash Galaxy definitely begs you to dig deeper into what it is. But the controls frustrated me to no end. It was a game I scored cheap and I wasn't expecting what I got there lol. But this makes me wanna revisit it!
@@Emceemur Holidays here went well. My niece is due in March with her second child. Traded in my car for something better and more reliable. The controls for Dash Galaxy are stiff but after enough playtime you should adjust to the mechanics of it. Glad you're interested in revisiting the game again man.
Nice review Emceemur! I went with the Atari 2600+ route which that console is also amazing.
It is! What a nice looking piece of hardware it is. My original 2600 is mint so I passed on that one but it's definitely amazing that it's available.
Out of the box the sound only plays on the left speaker (only updating the firmware fix this). I had to return the first one because it bricked during the firmware update. The 8bitDo wireless Turbografx16/PC engine controller works perfectly witht that thing (with the usbc male to / USBA female), all the buttons are working.
I added all the 2600, 5200 and 7800 games on the Micro SD Card and boom 1200+ games.
I love the bonus games, a nice selection of games that I am not familiar with. A nice surprise, the cherry on top of a delicious cake.
That's scary talk on that update bricking. Some of the old Flashbacks did that according to people who commented on those tutorial vids. Here's hoping this particular unit behaves! And if you haven't played Countermeasure on 5200 yet, I highly recommend it!
@@Emceemur If it does fail and you cannot return it, there is a simple solution on atari age forum. You open the thing and on the small board you short/jump 2 holes with a paper clip and you will be able to start the flashing again, in fact as much as you want.
I do have the ATARI GAMESTATION PRO and i gotta say my system is fully loaded and when i say loaded i really mean it just waiting for the new controllers to be released
There you go! Yeah, the new controllers are gonna really complete this thing. Im pumped to get my hands on that hardware! Thanks for watching this!
Just bought one priced down on Amazon new for $67. Looking forward to playing around with it
That's a killer price on it! Totally worth it for $67, no question. Even without modding it or anything, it's a nice unit.
@Emceemur Yeah, it'll be a nice addition to my collection. I'm all for modding consoles, so I'll have a good time getting into something new
Just ordered a refurb unit from Amazon. Looking forward to "customizing" it :-)
Sounds like a sweet deal! I really like the options on this thing. Like adding box art and descriptions. I'm also looking forward to fully trickin this thing out!
I have absolutely zero nostalgia or interest in anything Atari but even I can appreciate that cool controller - they could have gotten away with doing much less but they went all out on it.
A lot of people don't. I started gaming before the NES dropped and I had neighbors/friends with Ataris so I put a lot of time in on em. I can definitely admit a lot of it didn't age well lol. But some of it holds up. And you're right, A+ job on the controller! It was better than I was expecting.
For what I'm seeing and hearing here, that is certainly a comfortable price point. I can appreciate an affordable entry fee like that.
A poor man's Pi with caviar controllers! Im definitely digging it so far. I gotta get mine rodded out!
I got mine on clearance for $50 and my experience with this mini is mixed although overall I’m very happy with it. 2600, 5200, 7800 are all great especially the paddle games. The bonus games are slightly unplayable with the joystick for me but I got an adapter for my Xbox controller and now I can enjoy those games. I got sega cd games to work on here and with the Xbox controller this has become a great Atari pi device, especially since my last pi stopped working. The bad part of this mini is the Atari arcade experience with is abysmal. Tempest is probably the worst offender and is a complete mess compared to the version I have on my 1up tempest.
Sega CD, huh? That's incredible!! I wanna get those on here too. My Sega CD still works but hooking it up is like wiring a space station. I didn't get to try Tempest on the unit. The spinner worked well on the games I used it on so I didn't think there were any problems but I will check that out.
@@Emceemur With sega cd you can't have multiple bin files per game and you need to put the bios file in the same folder as the bin game. Almost all sega cd games have a rom version of just 1 bin file; it just takes some digging. Snatcher works well with the atari joystick but I play games like Mickey Mania with the Xbox controller. The spinner doesn't work on Tempest and instead uses the joystick which has the diamond gate... epic fail 🤦♂
@@dougoonk5480 MAN! That's definitely bad news on Tempest! I'm not sure why they went that route. The spinner would've made that awesome.
Great vid brother Murr!! I'm thinking of getting one of these. Can the joysticks be plugged in USB instead of batteries? I like that it has the ability to add 2600,5200,7800 plus Arcade and more.
Yes they can. And yeah man, this thing does Nintendo, Sega and more. We gon load it up! I'll be doing a followup episode for sure, probably a tutorial.
@@Emceemur I'm probably gonna get one soon. I'm really stoked about the Atari 400 mini!!! Looks like it might solve the controller problem for playing 5200 games on it as the new joystick has 7 buttons on it. Plus you can play all kinds of Atari on it 400, 800 etc!!
@@JeffBailey1999 man, I'm hip! Time for some Apshai dungeon delving!! Atari 400 is so cool and it's one of the few units out there I'm really still actively collecting for. My 400 is in mint condition.
@@Emceemur yes I love Apshai Dungeon Delving!!!!!
First review that doesn't call the bonus games "shovelware". Nice job!
Wow, are people really saying that? The arcade stuff was pretty iffy. But Immortal, Top Gear, 8 Eyes are all really good. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, almost every review I've seen says that. It seems they don't know what they're talking about, just looking for something to talk trash about. I'm glad you know your stuff, though. @@Emceemur
Got it from ebay for $50, it's great at $80, even better if you can find it cheaper!
$50 is a home run swing! There were some open box units for $70 on Amazon so that's not too bad. But yeah eventually all these come down in price when they sell well initially so that'll be interesting to keep an eye on.
Yup, got it new for 65 at amazon
This device has a lot of potential for sure.
It certainly does. Like, they're actively accessorizing it with authenticity in mind. And Im here for it!
Such a cool unit!...bit I am getting really tired of products not including a charging block! Come on man ...heres the unit but screw you go buy your own power block! Smh...Thanks fir the review brother!
The 5v1a blocks are the iPhone ones so they're everywhere. But the 2v isn't. The one I used was off the Genesis mini. The c64 mini also didn't include one. And Nintendo stopped including 3DS chargers after awhile, that really stunk.
@Emceemur yeah it just seems like everytime I open something it doesn't include the charge blocks amd my kids areb19 and 20 so my blocks go missing all the time! Lol
Would this be a good couch coop for me and the GF?
It actually would, yeah. Because you can add ROMs from other consoles and play Nintendo & Sega 2 player too. These have come down in price too since this video so that's cool. 😎
🔥🔥🔥🔥 👾 👾 💥 👾
🤘🤘
I have and still waiting for someone to confirm that 4 of the wireless sticks will work on a unit for 4 player Warlords
I will see what I can find out on that 👍 and get back to you here. Thanks for watching this!
It does not on 2600 yet, maybe in next firmware update. 8:03 But it does on arcade version. 2 have to be wireless & 2 have to wired via usb-c
Yeah I saw the video GenXGrownup posted yesterday and was bummed to learn you can't use 4 wireless sticks.
you say you arnt going to waste time on an unboxing and the that is exactly what you do???????
Well, a minute and 30 seconds. Although that's a lot in UA-cam time. Just to touch on the quality of the hardware though. I felt that was an important detail given how cheap plug and plays can be. And the controllers really won me over. Thanks for watching!
But does it have the bouncing babies game? I'm sure it does, and if it doesn't, there's the sd slot
Bouncing Babies?? As in "from Galoob?" Lolol
@@Emceemur I think it's called Trial by Fire.
theres not much transparency on "review" videos anymore so as soon as I hear the line "sent to me for review", well it use to be "sent me this for review" but each youtuber gets more stealth at this statement....I get skeptical as can be.
You should see some of the other youtubers I unsubscribed from reviewing the clearance shelf emulation devices that are like $50-60 for 1 game on them, and they try to put them over as a quality item. Nobody buys these units and usually you see them marked down on clearance multiple times cause nobody buys them. Its a shame that the "retro community" sells out to self enrichment of free products and making a few bucks of reviewing such garbage items. I feel their credibility is shot after seeing them put over such devices, or their severe lack of transparency.
Doesn't necessarily seem the case with this atari and your review but man Im sure you know what im getting at and those aforementioned people shall remain nameless.
I totally understand where you're coming from on that. I won't review anything I don't think has potential to be good. Because I would never shill anything to my audience. And I know there are disingenuous reviewers out there. You're not wrong. But yeah with this thing, it has the potential to be a "poor mans Retropie" and potentially do a better job of it than the Flashbacks so Im definitely interested. Im interested to see how it plays out, and I definitely appreciate you watching this episode.
like i remember people reviewing those atari at games HDMI dongles and trying to put those over, those things are so bad and glitchy, albeit i bought them when they were $5 each on clearance, not the $20-25-30 they were retail pricing
some of these retro stuff is just a cash grab@@Emceemur
Disappointing it does T have more 5200 7800 gaymes. 2800 is too primitive to play
It's true that some of it is. But I reckon even if they'd had more 5200/7800 , they'd still probably not've added what I wanted so Im just gonna add the full library of roms. Can't wait to play Countermeasure!
No!
Oh, cmon John! Ya got to! Lol
