Just got off the phone with the wife. Apparently she wants a "Retron 5". Something about too many game consoles cluttering the place up. Figured I'd ask you guys about it. Is it worth it?

If the Retron 5 is 'authentic hardware' then Jenna Jamesons breasts are natural.

It's a clone system that is probably the best one. That being said, everything it does, a modded Wii or an Ouya can do.

I don't think it's bad in and of itself so much as I believe you got better cheaper options that let you play an entire library of games instead of relying on carts.

no it's not, unless you want to have cool meme console

It's not authentic hardware, and the people who made it stole retroarch's code and claimed it as their own. Hyperkin is scum.

I'd say build a tiny emulation box with a Raspberry Pi instead, OP. Sell all your retro shit, if you and your wife are worrying about clutter. All you're getting with the Retron is an emulation box, so might as well make your own.

I play N64 and ps1 games using xbox 360 wireless controllers.
Everything major from pre atari to n64/ps1 in a credit card sized board. I went with the black ice case from amazon but there are tons of cheaper ones. These little boards can do most anything.

I would say from my own experience these things are garbage. I may have just had bad luck with mine but the slot the cartridge fits into was really tight for all the cartridge slots and when pulling out an NES game some of the pins came out so I haven't touched mine since.

The retron5 is a great piece of hardware for the price. It's pretty accurate to the consoles. Also, an rpi is a complete piece of shit for emulation.
If you're going to emulate roms, you may as well spend money on a cheap laptop and a couple of m$ or sony pads.

I understand this is a joke, but like every shitpost, it's completely unfunny because it serves as a reminder that people who would say something like this in complete seriousness ACTUALLY EXIST, which in and of itself as a disturbing thought, despite I personally have never had contact with them on this website.

It's just a starting point. I've got my pi2 overclocked and it's seamless except for 2 N64 games. That's just because N64 emulation is a pain at times though.

I'm not the SJW boogieman you're looking for. I think that they're mentally ill, and GRS shouldn't be the default treatment for gender dysphoria, but just like normal well-adjusted adults don't say "Haha look at this downy, I'm laughing just looking at him", you don't just say that about mentally ill people, you can't have it both ways.
