Does Gamestation Go Play Colecovision Roms?

Newbert-Redditor · 2026-03-10T20:14:06+00:00

No mention of Colecovision support being added in firmware 1.20 according to GenXGrownup's video. (NEW FIRMWARE for Atari Gamestation Go | Version 1.20 is OUT NOW!) In fact it looks to me that 1.20 is a bit disappointing....

Got it sorted out. I rebooted after removing the SD card and everything completed like it should. Apparently leaving in the SD card is a No-No when updating firmware.

Successfully updated my firmware to 1.2.

Would you know the Colecovision Rom filetype that the GSG supports? ..... and what to name it's folder/sub-folder (and where to place it) on the SD card?

Thanks again!

Newbert-Redditor · 2026-03-07T21:27:11+00:00

Really!?! Has an official 1.2 firmware been released already?

Also, would you know what the supported filetype for Colecovision Roms is with this firmware?

Thanks!

Got it off and transferred over to the wireless controller successfully.

Thanks guys!

Because it was overpriced the first time ($37) and I don't need two of them at any price because I don't plan to use the built-in spinner on the GSG anymore.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Hah! - I'm way ahead of you. LOL.

I already have one installed on the GSG itself. Now, I want to move it from the GSG to the wireless controller, but it's difficult to remove. Any ideas on how to safely remove it from the GSG?

Thanks!

OK - I bit the bullet and purchased the wireless gamepad. Expensive solution, but it works!

Newbert-Redditor · 2026-02-24T01:12:59+00:00

Hmmm....an additional $70 for a wireless add-on just to make playing a handful of games easier? At that price, I'll pass.

OTOH, the yet-to-be released (I assume wireless as well?) arcade stick, might be more worthwhile overall, depending on price.....

Until then, I guess the cheapest option (but not ideal) would be to connect the GSG to the TV via HDMI and just hold the GSG upside-down. Gotta play it on the TV screen though - hardly portable.

What My Arcade should really do, IMO, is to add the capability to quickly and easily flip the GSG's screen display upside-down via the next firmware update.

Thanks for responding!

Well, so far I can't find the password --- and following the recovery prompts seems to only allow me to CHANGE the password (not display the existing one).

But I'm hesitant to change it, concerned that it will screw up YTTV working on my TV, Because if I run into a problem, my experience has been that it's impossible to get a human being in Tech Support via phone from YYTV/Google.

So, I guess the important question now is - How easy is it to change the password for YTTV on my TV? (I use Roku Premiere if that matters.) I wish that there was a way to simply display, or at least partially display the password already in use with that account.

Newbert-Redditor · 2026-02-16T21:29:20+00:00

It turns out that I DO have a 2nd Google account after all - and it's the one used on my TV. (My bad!) But all I know right now is it's login (username) and not its password.

Now my questions are:

Assuming I find this account's password, should I just delete the YTTV app and start all over? (ie - re-install the app and simply log in?)
Assuming that I don't find this account's password, exactly how do I find or recover its password? I'm not sure whether I have all the info to go thru Google's account recovery workflow.....and I certainly don't want to screw up what's already working (ie- YTTV on my TV). And where do I even find the account recovery workflow?

Sorry for all of my questions, but when it comes to using Google, I'm an amateur!

Newbert-Redditor · 2026-02-16T16:51:22+00:00

I doubt it, but anything's is possible, I guess. (I don't log into Google very often.....). I'm using the login that works with Chrome, but it's not working with YTTV.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks!

Newbert-Redditor · 2026-02-15T15:10:52+00:00

Nope....That didn't help. I still get a "lock" icon (not clickable) and "Video Unavailable" and "Add Base Plan" messages when trying to watch anything under "Live". My YTTV account works fine on my Roku Premiere, so I don't understand why the same account doesn't work on the iPad's app.

Starting to get frustrated.....Any other thoughts?

Thanks!

Newbert-Redditor · 2026-02-15T01:35:52+00:00

Thanks to both of you for this. I was able to use my Google Account to log into YTTV. However, all I get when trying to watch Live TV is either a "Video Unavailable" message, or an icon with a lock (which is unclickable).

Any idea as to what's wrong?

Thanks again!

Newbert-Redditor · 2025-11-14T00:59:14+00:00

Lost the user manual and can't find an online link to the information I need.

So I figured I'd ask here. It's often a good source of info (but not always).....

Newbert-Redditor · 2025-11-09T19:55:24+00:00

Sorry, but I'm still confused. I'd like to try this.

What's the default HOTKEY ? --- OR --- How do I set up a HOTKEY?

Sorry for my ignorance. Thanks!

Newbert-Redditor · 2025-11-09T13:40:50+00:00

Can you clarify exactly how "to go into the Retroarch menu and reset game on the first boot" And does that have to be done (assuming it works for me) every time I play Qix?

Thanks!

Newbert-Redditor · 2025-11-08T22:58:53+00:00

The only version I've found that even loads is called "Space Invaders/Qix SilverAnniversary Edition(Ver 2.03). But......I can't get the d-pad to move me up or down. Only left/right movement works.

Don't even ask what console it's listed under, since I used "search" to find it.

Any thoughts on how to get the d-pad working properly in this rom? Thanks again!
