I know GameSack is a bit iffy around here (mostly due to their reviews) but their video of the Hyperkin can't be ignored. It goes into quite why it's not all that great.

It's got ports and a good interface, what's the deal.

>>1994337
GBA isn't my priority, neither is filters and anti-aliasing because I'm used to being a fundie. I've seen playtests.
Wii emulators a shit. It doesn't have the controllers or the cartridge support, etc.

It's close enough.
I don't want to play obscure jap shit with two extra NES cards in the cartridge or whatever shit, I want to play /good/ /games/.

Wii has hardware solely for emulation that Nintendo put in there for the VC. You dumb cunt. The emulators for everything the Hyperkin plays is 'perfect'.

The reviews comment is one I've seen on /vr/ a few times is "This game is good cause it's good."
Which, I don't know, if you're gonna focus on a system or more than 5+ games, I don't need a indepth game review.

Maybe you're right, I'd really only be missing the GBA.

I fucking love the controllers idea and the HDMI for the Retron though. Talk me out of it some more.

>Super fucking accurate

This is wrong.

If theres one reason you SHOULDNT get a retron, its because of the compatability errors with over 400 doccumented games that are proven to NOT work

Some of which are major titles, like super mario RPG and Final Fantasy III

For just as much, you can invest in a good HDMI compatible laptop. Hell, you can get a Kindle Fire HD for cheaper. Get a bluetooth controller and you've got the exact same thing.

Don't want to be a purist? Radicool, purists suck ass. If you want to emulate, though, at least do it right, for christs sake.

No RTC for pokemon and such.
Needs patches for the NES classics games.

I think otherwise it's 100% outside of additional hardware carts like warioware twisted and similar.

What the fuck. They probably just have an x64 ARM running some FLOSS emulator. The only impressive part is integrating the cartridge reader.

But you're basically playing a cell phone emulator. Honestly, who the fuck would care about this? If you're not playing on native hardware, you may as well just use a damn PC emulator.

It's basically an Android phone connected to a cartridge reader.
