What Have You Bought?

Recommended Posts

Finally got my Retron 5

From what I've read about it it sounds pretty cool. Are you going to plug a SNES controller into it?

 

The HD upscaling also sounds cool, let me know what you think about that. Just a shame it doesn't support emulators, heh...

Yeah im planning on using the actual controllers, especially now that ive tried the wireless pad that comes with it and agree with most reviews that it sucks lol.

 

It seems great so far, games looking nice quality along with the sound. Just waiting to try out a load of games I bought last week on ebay now. I have more for my Mega Drive than my SNES so I had to fix that a bit and im taking a risk on a GBA game from ebay so I can test that. We'll see if it ends up being one of the many clone carts on there or not.

Compression tester to see if my other half's car's engine is borked or just in need of some TLC.

How much did you pay for MMX? It usually goes for a quite a large amount. I've seen the second game ( just the cart ) go for around £150 before!

Its a new Android based retro system that plays NES, SNES, Mega Drive and GBA games along with their Japanese/US counterparts.

Its still quite hard to get at the moment, especially outside of the US. I had to just keep an eye out on ebay for mine and pay extra.

I finally have a copy of Grandia II which only cost me £2 so I'm pretty happy with that. :D

 

Also @Happenstance there's a whole lot of 'Win' in that one photo, always nice to see someone building up their retro collection. : peace:

It also connects via HDMI and does HDMI upscaling, as well as game save states. And works with a SNES pad, and some others too...

 

Yeah, it sounds sweet. :p
