This is the past. The future is systems like Lakka. Which isn't even a system. It's Linux + Retroarch. You can install it on many devices. Open source and not tied to one bit of hardware. As hardware advances, and more cores are added to Retroarch, you can add more systems.

So you can detach the cartridge reader which may actually really end up saving space.
Practically it isn't going to make a difference to using pirated software.
If they allowed you to use the dumped images on other devices it might be an option for moralfags but it doesn't sound like that. (インストールしたゲームは、インストールに使用したレトロフリーク本体でのみ使用可能です。)
Overall it does appear better than the R5 but that's not a huge accomplishment and a full fledged PC is going to do a better job.

I work at a retro game store, and I sell Retrons to people all the time. Let me tell you why. Because people are stupid. Most of them barely know how to check their e-mail, they would never be able to set up emulators and find roms.

as for original hardware, my store doesn't bother to sell any systems before N64 because, again, people are too stupid to take care of them. we used to sell NESes, they got returned constantly because people are too dumb to clean them or blow in them or mess with the connectors or anything like that. it got to the point where it just wasn't worth it for us to carry them, so we started selling Retrons. they're perfect for casual fans that just want to play Mario again.

If it gets a decent CPU it shouldn't be too problematic albeit still pointless. Stolen code is a complicated matter. Only a few emulators prohibit commercial use and the rest would depend on how open they are with their system.

Rom dumpers run at a higher voltage than normal operating voltage. It's one of the reasons that Retron toasts save files sometimes.

It is "ripping off" though because Hyperkin has not given credit where it is due, and rebranded said software as their own while trying to deny they are using retroarch (despite the fact that they are).

Using someone elses software and claiming it as your own is the very definition of ripping off.

Advocating appropriate judgment is not the same as "standing up for" the thing to be judged. There's a clear difference between "reserve judgment until we can actually assess its quality" and "don't be mean!"

There's enough information out there that confirms its poor quality. There is no such information about this device. This is a key difference that you seem intent on not recognizing. And for the record, no, I'm not bashing retron left and right, because the only thing less appealing than the retron is act of obsessing over it.

Nope.

Although the shill would like you to believe that we can't judge it before it's out, there are, in fact a few things that are already 100% certain, as evident in the well-argued posts already made in the thread:

>Its SNES emulation won't and can't be as accurate as the real thing/higan. There's no way, unless it turns out to be an x86 machine, a case in which it will be expensive, and ultimately a downgraded computer.
>No North American NES slot. Even Retron 5 has this.
>No SMS slot.
>All the slots that aren't there can be emulated with a dedicated emulation machine or a Wii.
>well at least it won't take space

And this one's only 99% certain:
>No support for Super Scope/Menacer/Zapper on a non-CRT. The Wii can do this. Then again, everyone already uses CRTs here.

These points alone are enough to make me not buy it, but I'm just me. If you're going to buy it, please do and come back with a story to tell us. Just don't say we didn't warn you.

Gotta disagree with that one kid, it can supports carts AND roms. The cartridge slots are an OPTIONAL expansion device, and is not mandatory. There's also an optional expansion that adds support for real controllers or you can simply use a dualshock controller. It's pretty much everything retroll5 should have been, but was not.

The reason they exist is because Retro game stores are finding it hard to keep SNES and NES units in stock because of ebay and shit. People don't sell the consoles to retro game shops anymore, they just sell them on ebay and get what the retro shops would've charged for them themselves instead of getting 50% of that at most.

They can stock shit like the Retron 3 and Retron 5, and if they run out they can just order brand new ones from the manufacturer rather than hoping some sucker comes in and trades in an NES or SNES.
