Honestly, if the retron 5 played N64 or worked with flashcarts I would probably consider buying one, not even trolling. Also if I didn't own the consoles I already have (NES with RGB, SNES, N64, Sega CDX, Super Gameboy, etc) it'd probably be not a terrible purchase.

It's cool if you want dozens of Neo Geo games all in one place (especially on the go), but the picture quality and sound aren't all that great, and you can't customize the options of the games. Also, the joysticks feel really fucking cheap.

If you look at it as more of a novelty than a serious piece of hardware, it's ok I guess. Don't spend more than you have to, though. I paid $200 for it (and the mega pack with 15 extra games) back when it came out but in hindsight I should've held out for a LOT less.

So what exactly is it that makes the Retron no good? My brother wants one cause all his consoles are dying. I said he should emulate but he is autistic and wants to use his old carts. Is there anything this thing does that you can't emulate?

It's got filters and shit you can mess around with. Really though, the only good thing about it is that it'll save you shelf space and make your old games look better on an HDTV if that's all you have.

>> No.2287982

>>2287976
It literally just emulates, so it's really no better than just playing on a PC. Since he already has a bunch of carts, it's probably fine, as long as he doesn't care much about it being 100% accurate. I can't speak to the actual quality of the thing but it's probably at least adequate.

Nice try, but if you really wanted to get some goats, you should have had the R5 plugged into an HDTV, showing some heavily aliased game start screen (especially if it's some rare-ass cart), and been talking about how beautiful the sprite art was on your crisp, clean, high-end retro setup.

>All these retron threads now

Okay, okay I have to come clean here,

I'm the guy who originally started a retron 3 thread several months back asking /vr/ about how it was, and how I just wanted a 3 in 1 console because I needed to clear out space in my media shelves because it was cluttered with consoles.

Has this escalated this far? I got chased off the thread because everyone called me a shill, and now every day I come back, I see another retron "Shill" thread.

I seriously apologize if this started something, I never meant for any of this to happen. Needless to say, I never did get the retron after /vr/ told me. but now its like someone thought that thread was funny and started viraling it all over the place. And from what I've seen everyone thinks it s always the same guy, the so called "retron shill"..

I just want to clear this up, because I feel /vr/ became worse because of me.. and for that, I apologize.

Also many retailers (Funco/GameStop/EB/KB/etc) used "PSX."

I use it still, infrequently. Never spoken out loud though, no one really ever did in the first place. I don't like using "PS1" either because of possible confusion with the redesigned PSone. "Original Playstation" is unambiguous. So is PSX (no one ever cared about the Japan-only "PSX"), but I only use that as shorthand in text form/online when I know people won't throw a hissy fit over it.

Why does everbody hate on Final Fantasy X? It's a game with a great story with touching moments. The Sphere Grid also helps to create a new, fun, and interactive way to level up characters. Tidus is also a very relate able character who hates his drunkard dad and adds a very human touch to the game.
FFX fares much better than some of the other games, too (I'm looking at you, VII and IX).

I think it's almost solely because of it was the first not to have a traditional overworld map. Other factors include being the first to have audio dialogue and Internet memes (nowadays).
