The only issue with it is that it's not quite at 100% compatibility and doesn't work with the Game Genie or Flashcarts. Also Hyperkin's doing a terrible job at distributing it. Other than that the games look excellent on HDMI. --- End quote --- I can second the Retron 5 recommendation and I go on and on about it (good and bad) here: http://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,4918.0.html and here: http://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,5017.msg63885.html#msg63885 To say it's had a rocky launch would be the understatement of the decade. But logistic issues of the company aside it's the best clone console currently out. Period. --- End quote --- I have been reading your review of the Retron 5 and I've found it to be very helpful. I really like that it has its own separate Famicom cartridge slot and can play Super Famicom games too. Unfortunately, I can't find it in stock anywhere. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. $140 seems like a lot to pay for a clone console too. --- End quote --- In the long run it is worth it. |

To be honest I never used a clone console but am very interested in adding a a Retro Duo to my collection, does anybody have a good experience with this one or should I consider another one. |

Plus the Retron 3 is compatible with Genesis games. |
