I have been fortunate that most of my carts worked. I do have two that will not work via the dumped, Activision Boxing and Donkey Kong jr( Coleco). I have read that both of these carts were reported to work via the dumped. Both have been cleaned multiple times. Dk jr is a black screen while boxing just boots to the stella 6 menu. I was curious as to what each of those failures mean exactly.

RetroTink 2x and HD retrovision cables are the best way to go for Genesis/master system on a flat screen. No discernible lag and a great picture. Of course this will run you more than the hyperkin cable but you can use the RetroTink for your other consoles as well.

Gravitar cart works for me.

I'm thinking about getting one of these but not until I read a few reviews about it.

Well if that is the case nevermind! I have always heard downloading roms was illegal even if you owned the game. Anyone know where you can get NES roms? It seems like the big N is forcing rom sites to remove nintendo games.

Right now I am just using a book light which is basically the same thing as the worm light. It's passable. I just can't believe they but out a screen that bad in the year 2000. I'll probably just deal until I feel like throwing some dough at it for a mod.

Legality

Those things look to be pretty expensive. As much more than buying a game boy advance sp. Any reason I shouldn't just do that? How does the sp play?

I recently bought a game boy advance because my DS lite's d-pad is terrible for diagonals and it makes playing GBA games difficult. I did not realize how bad the screen for the GbA was. Are there any decent screen lighting accessories that work decent?

I was playing genesis, sms and 7800 on retroarch and I thought this is pretty convenient but I have never felt comfortable downloading roms illegally. Are there any good tools people have used for this? I'd like to be able to rip Genesis, SMS, 7800, 2600, nes and snes games. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Golden Axe, Space Harrier, Thunder Blade Rastan minor at the top of the screen. Double dragon has it too.

Are you using an original power base converter and if so do get those little graphical glitches master system games?

I don't consider myself a SNES collector. I have one multi cart with 100 games on it which I mainly got to see if the SNES side was working. I got the retron 3 to play Sega and NES games which it does fairly well. Are there some minor audio issues, sure but the convenience makes up for it.

I have the 2.4ghz version. I am fairly happy with it but the snes audio does sound a little harsh to me. I never had a snes so I don't have a great frame of reference. That being said it doesn't really bother me . I don't know bad it originally was but to me the audio isn't that bad. People call these things garbage but I just don't agree with that. Mine plays pretty much everything I have thrown at it and the s-video out looks great through a RetroTink on a HD tv . I find any audio issues to be fairly minor.

Did this or other coleco carts work?

Yes it was. The controller was called the ranger. I have been waiting for that too!

Where did you see that? I am seeing retro freaks going for $220 and up?

For me it is because the cartridges are the roms I own. By purchasing the cartridges it gives it a value. I feel too much stuff is being devalued these days like music for instance and I choose to not give into that trend as much as I can. I know a weird thing to most people.

This is exactly why I was considering one. I have 2 CRT tvs and RetroTink and the genesis HD retrovision cables. I want the unique experience that emulation provides. I expect some lag and such. I do have a retron 3 and haven't had any issues with the build not sure how much better the build quality is on a retron 3

I may just skip then. Don't want to pay the amount for the retro freak. I largely want it for master system, game gear and nes. Which the retro freak needs adapters for all 3. The retron 5 needs the sms/gg adapter but its cheaper. I have a RetroTink so I can make sms and nes look decent on a flat screen with out lag.

After upgrading my Retron 77 to Stella 6 and it being totally awesome, I am reconsidering the Retron 5. I have heard its pretty solid now. What do people think? Is it in the same league as the updated retron 77?

Wow this thing rocks now. No screen tearing, scan lines and paddles that work in the controller port. Too bad there is no way to fix the dumper. That being said I haven't been really that affected by it's short comings. I have only had 1game not work off of a cartridge.

Is anyone using wireless controllers? Are there any that are compatible?

This is also great for the games that require precise angle movements.

I know, I'm in the minority but I actually like the proline a lot. I prefer it if I have to hit angles precisely (I.e. Double Dragon, Kung Fu Master, Commando, Ikari Warriors). I feel the original 2600 controller lacks that precision. Even updated version like Hyperkin's trooper while better than stock still suffer from that lack of precision
