Sheikah Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Been adding to my retro collection this week. Still a couple more to be delivered. Thanks again to Nando for the copies of Zelda and Metroid! 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Holy shit. Sounds awesome. Might take a look around online to find a good deal. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Just a repost of what I bought in the Car Boot/bargains thread but still... I finally have a copy of Grandia II which only cost me £2 so I'm pretty happy with that. Also @Happenstance there's a whole lot of 'Win' in that one photo, always nice to see someone building up their retro collection. : peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheikah Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Holy shit. Sounds awesome. Might take a look around online to find a good deal. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
