    no you see, the SMRPG we tested does not work on Retro Duo or FC systems, it also does not work on FC16GO, so it must be the late release, so if this version is not working on the Retron3 it means it has the same hardware as the Retro Duo, but it is working on the Retro Twin so it means the Retro Twin has new snes hardware.

    Ah, so that makes it even more curious... Maybe there is a lockout chip in the Retro Twin? Why would the Retron3 have better NES hardware, but the same SNES hardware as the RetroDuo, but the Retro Twin has better SNES hardware, but the same NES hardware? It's very strange if that is indeed the case...

     

    Also, since we know the button layout is messed up on the SNES side with official controllers on the Retron3, can you tell if the R and L buttons are at least mapped correctly? That hasn't been tested yet and I am a bit curious to see if they at least got that right.

     

    havent verified the layout yet, still about the hardware, retron 3 is made by hyperkin while the retro twin is made by tomee. so it makes sense they use different hardware.

    That is really strange. The only SMRPG that has worked on SNES clones has been the earliest released version, because it doesn't check for the lockout chip. That has been the version that has worked on every SNES clone to date, so it's very strange that the same one would work on the other SNES clones, but not the Retron3...

    I just got the retron 3, just tested mario RPG and it doesn't work, 2 castlevania 3 carts neither, the genesis part plays sonic 2 and streets of rage sound near perfect if not perfect. The NES part sounds better than the retro duo, will test more later.

    The Genesis and NES portions may be enough to make the deal for me (depending on if Castlevania 3 is compatible). How bad is the counter-clockwise rotated SNES controller layout though (if you've tested it)? Would you say it is game-breaking, or is it operable with some getting used to?

     

    Retro Twin, tried the same mario RPG cart that i tested on the retron 3 and works, castlevania 3 is not working, and the sound is more or less the same as the retro duo, will continue testing later.

    Maybe the SMRPG cart is a bit dirty, or the pins are being finicky on the Retron3. I would assume the Retron3 uses the same SNES hardware as the Retro Twin. Also, it's curious as to how the sound is worse in the Retro Twin, which has less hardware than the Retron3. Perhaps it has the same innards as the Retro Duo?

     

    Why the heck is Castlevania 3 not working after they said it would I dunno :(

    Are the carts cleaned? Sometimes these clones' pins can be finicky. If the Retro Twin does have the same NOAC as the Retro Duo, or at least an updated one, then it should work. If Castlevania 3 truly doesn't work though, I may have to pass on this one...

     

    All carts have been cleaned by us in the store, Retron 3 SNES hardware must be the same as the duo, the SMRPG game works on the retro twin but not on the duo or retron 3, tested 3 different castlevania 3 carts, they dont work on neither clone :(
