Retron5 Anonymous Mon Sep 21 04:37:27 2015 No.2693621 [Reply] [Original]

I bought a Retron5 and I love it!
HDMI and save states are the best.

Do you think I'm a sucker?

Although people mock, the RetroN V has a huge support base - Mike Mateii from cinemassacre is on board and works alongside the company, and it's a solid piece of kit. I'm not going to mention my personal life anymore, but I'm a huge retro-ite and my family and I love the RetroN V.

I'm actually pretty curious if this would work- iirc the power base adapter is just a passthrough- there's no unique hardware in the damn thing. I guess the two questions are a.)Whatever emulator they ganked for the setup properly emulate the sms hardware and b.)does the harrdware physically fit

I agree with him to a point, personally I don't see a reason to go out and buy a physical SNES and pay lots for say, Earthbound, when I can emulate it on my computer or buy a port.

Now, if you have the physical objects already or if you collect, then that's different.

Again though, personally.

it's hard to shill something that's free. If you already have a psp, yeah, use it for emulation. It's a nice platform for older games. If not, you can buy one for cheap on ebay.

Retroarch is a cool piece of software. and it's free. what's not to like?
