Anyone have one of those? is it just like the original console, but with the extra features?

>>1109441
It's just a bunch of emulators.

Garbage.

Do it on a cellphone or psp or something else instead.

>>1109461
That's the whole point. Everything seems to have issues though.

Cubietruck looks kind of promising.

>>1109474
Neat for a prototype.

>>1109441

>emulator + reader for original cartridges
Here are some commercial ones. Actual chinese clone hardware works better than that crap.

If only a final version had a few gamepad ports.

I have the retron 3 and I personally don't see the problem. If I bought every console it would cost me ~100 dollars. I personally don't like to use emulators since playing it on the PC isn't the same; I love owning physical cartridges.
I've had no problems with the Retron series besides some sound quality and the cartridges getting stuck in the toploader.

>>1109441
Its currently not out yet but on there website and YT account it runs fine since they upload game footage with it.
Its basically an emulator with an interface, savestates, overclocking and button customization, not much.
I have to admit though these 'god controllers' they give out is shit and overprices the console.
Its a terrible wireless plastic controller that feels like I'm playing with a TV remote.
Sure, its just an emulator as a console but for me, I find it more enjoyable to play it on a console so I can use physical games and Invite friends .

>>1111765
I have a small place. If this works at all, I'm there. The price is right, and it is HDMI. No fucking around with switch boxes, or mods.

It would go nicely (as it is small) with my 2600, 5200 w/2600, Coleco with 2600, and Intellivision with 2600. Hmmm seems like this was thought of before...

>>1111765
>so I can use physical games and Invite friends

So that's really all there is to it?

>>1109382
Don't you ever talk about ARM like that again you faggot. I will fuck you up.

>>1109382
I already have a clone console. An old standing Wii that's loaded with homebrew emulators.

>inb4 that one faggot who thinks this is a marketing ploy by Hyperkin

>>1111886
why don't you say that to my face instead of in person and see what happens?

oh you can't?

well, why don't you get my phone number and at least say that to me over the phone instead of through text?

no?

okay, how about you take that fancy smartassphone of yours, with that fancy arm chip, and shove it up your ass!

>>1111884
Does there really have to be more?

>>1111905
Lol jesus bro, i was just kidding. ARM has their place and there are some really nice ones. In the fag console in the OP, this is not the case.

>>1111916
Yeah, well I guess I'm not, I don't like cell phones, I don't like tablets.

And that's so true about those little boards, they really just don't have the right ports.

>>1109714
>Two Gameboy players for the N64 that don't have sound and a Gameboy player for Gamecube that already exists as a Nintendo product
Real cool examples of worthless garbage, Bro.

Let me lay it out for you guys. First, buy a JXD brand tablet. Spend as much as you want on it for the features you want, they have tons of models. Get one that outputs the signals you want, assuming you want to use it as a TV player at all as opposed to just a portable one.

Next, get on the this for when this dude Sparrow produces more of his Wii Retropad Adapters. It's a damn brilliant little device into which you can plug practically any real retro controller and it will work as a Wii Classic controller and since there are Bluetooth drivers for the Wiimote on both Android and PC it will control everything you could possibly want using everything you could possibly want.

There. You're welcome.

>>1111884
>tfw your friends will stop liking you for using emulators

>>1111884
>>1112570
Fuck them. If that's all there is to it, just get some system that boots a game from the CD.

>>1113449
Seems that he thinks garbage clone consoles are better than emulators because they connect to a TV. Imagine his shock when one day realizing you can connect PCs and other devices to TVs and run emulators with gamepads. mind=blow rip in peace

>>1113501
PCs aren't as portable as those garbage consoles though, and they are pretty fucking cheap.
Just get a flash cart and one of those and for like $50 you have the ultimate PORTABLE set up.

>>1113503
You could get a cheap garbage Android stick instead and have a complete setup without the need to buy any carts or flashcarts.

Holy shit, some people are stupid.

A gigantic dumpster heap of sega clones, and not one of sega CD. WTF.

>>1113680
>based sega tower of power

>>1113843
It can be portable too!

>>1113901

That can't actually work you know. (The 32X requires a special additional connection- I didn't know that when my older half-brother bought it for me, and we returned it to the store as broken. Good thing too, the 32X sucked balls)

>>1113843
They were also going to make a sega virtua processor inter-cartridge.

That would have likely stopped them from making the 32x. So it would have been an excellent idea.

>>1113906
Buwahahaha, but it does work!

>>1113913

It only works if you hack the living fuck out of the hardware. Either pic is shopped or something else is going on.

>>1113918
>Not knowing Nomad has every connection that a Genesis 2 does

I just want a system that plays pretty much all the nintendo consoles. (NES-N64 + Gameboy and GBA)

Is this a lost cause? If I had to go for an emulator android device, which one would be best?

>>1113680
but can you play as Knuckles

>>1113680
That's because the Genesis was the only successful console of Sega. Much like the NES, SNES, and Wii for Nintendo.

>>1113901
This is obviously some strange usage of the word "portable" I hadn't previously been aware of.

>>1113953
I have never heard of a system that plays NES+n64.

The Mega Drive X is probably the only clone console that I would even consider owning purely for the fact that it has a built in Mega Key and over clocking features. It also has a really nice color scheme aside from the red cart slot doors

>>1113953
Nintendo Wii.

>>1114052
Source?

>>1114280
Hichhiker's guide to the galaxy.

>>1114215
It plays N64, but not all of the games.

>>1114427
It's a fair trade playing few games perfectly as opposed to with numerous errors

>>1113901
>>1114410

>>1114649
This applies real well to the aforementioned retron 3 too.

>>1113901
Where's the Game Genie?

>>1112241
>Spend as much as you want on it for the features you want, they have tons of models.
I'm having a bit of trouble seeing this whole elegant selection. Though it's probably worth it going out of your way for if you want a portable tablet

Personally, I think the GBA SP shape is a better idea than that of the PSP/gamegear/gamepark etc

>>1115502
>dat design
It was a great end of a great portable franchise.

>>1115639
The DS is basically another gameboy

>>1115639
But that wasn't the end design.

>>1115502
>xgp
Maaaaan, I was a bit excited and hoping for that thing to come out. Still take out my GP2X from time to time though.

>>1115502
>Personally, I think the GBA SP shape is a better idea than that of the PSP/gamegear/gamepark etc
I prefer the clamshell design because it allows the controls to be more comfy and spread out instead of being compacted into small spaces either side of the screen.

>>1116406
That game-tweaked android tablet seems kind of alike, I bet it's not the only one of its sort, questions of availability and build quality aside.

>>1116409
>I prefer the clamshell design because it allows the controls to be more comfy and spread out
this does not describe the GBA SP.

>>1116419
Maybe he has really tiny hands.

>>1115502
If you want the SP design then this JXD might be the right choice for you.

but

ALWAYS DO LOTS OF RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING A HK DEVICE

It's not that they try to mislead anybody, they just try to keep prices as low as possible and the language barrier can keep the performance from being clear. Many of their devices have plain Gingerbread and ICS mods available on openhandhelds.net and you can see their performance on Youtube.

>>1116510
Freakin multi-part images.

>>1116516
It's often done to keep people from hotlinking the images, without going the SA route of swapping the image for a picture of poop.

>>1111886
>>1111916
The whole idea of a retro system using a new architecture like ARM is really obtuse. I'm not saying it should use motorola 680x0 as if it'll make the main use of it function more naturally, but there already are x86 SoC's out there, so that's another platform a retro system could hit, perhaps even perfectly, since it's not even a forbidden full-proprietary platform. Even companies that might have patents and copyrighted code relevant to making old games run well, like creative labs, don't have nearly the same claim to the platforms like nintendo.

>>1114192
Based off of what I heard, this thing is very popular with the Ukrainians, and the Russians.

>>1111765
>100 dollars
Yeah, if you're impatient, retarded and buy exclusively from eBay.

>>1119037
Ok, I'll waste hours at a flea market/Craigslist to find all three console in good condition for 30$.

>>1117602
>ARM
>new
ARM architecture have been around since the 80s

>>1113941
dude the 32x has it's own video out and needs it too
you won't see shit on that lcd display

>>1117602
ARM is not only free to license, it's also low-powered.

>>1121181
Yeah, but everything has to be arm, and everything has to be a genesis or nintendo clone. and everything has to be cell-phone-esque, and everything has to be the same controllers yet they're not even interchangeable despite being spitting images of each other.

>>1121163
Only some 32x games have additional video elements added by the 32x. Space Harrier isn't one of them. Try shit for yourself before you type like you know something.
