Anyone have any experience with one of these machines? I'm looking to get into retro gaming and collecting as a hobby and thought this would be an easier way to play.

I've heard mixed things, but I'd like to hear from anyone here who might own one.

Basically here is the /vr/ explanation of the Retron 5.

>It's an emulator machine that runs on Android but requires cartridges, so why not just play an emulator.

>People also claim it wrecks carts by shooting an incorrect voltage through them to dump them into temporary memory.

>People also will forever use the "wife" meme when describing the Retron 5.

>All other folks just enjoy their Retron 5 and use it to play [spoilers]games[/spoilers] instead of bitching about it endlessly.

I grabbed one and haven't had any issues with it. Make sure to read up on which firmware is good or if the newest one is causing issues. Personally, I like how you can load translation patches onto an SD card and use it to play Japanese cartridges. I think it's a fun little machine and at the end of the day, if you're having fun and you enjoy it, keep enjoying it.

Funny thing is that they're using RetroArch/libretro, and RetroArch have shaders that fix this, but they're so lazy they didn't bother implementing it - they just have the crappy filters. So in the end you're paying for a neutered port of RetroArch.

In all honesty you'd be better off getting a RasPi 2, a pack of roms and a couple USB controllers rather than buying an emulator machine that requires cartridges. A good alternative, though not as powerful or flexible would be a Wii or Xbox.

So basically it's not that good 'objectively' but screw it it's convenient and it's your money

About as good a sales pitch as you can hope for

>> No.2449306

>>2449302

Right. Something that has filters that makes something look 'ugly' is subjective bullshit. Play the game however you want to play the game. The important part is that you're playing a game, having fun, and enjoying some god damned /vr/

As for convenient, I'd say it is personally. I don't want to hook up like 6 systems to my TV, I'm lazy and don't want to hunt down each individual system at 40 bucks and up. I also just want to use a SNES controller, again, lazy. But you're still going to have to put those mountains of carts somewhere, since the Retron 5 requires you to insert a cart to dump and play, and cannot save that dumped cart to permanent memory.

I think a great feature would be to be able to record video output on your system while you play especially for Speed Runs, Let's Plays, Walkthroughs, etc. Unfortunately it just has screenshots.

>> No.2449523

>>2449207

Finally, has been a while since the last one.

Just in case: It is not the real deal! The Retron 5 is a box of stolen emulators on chip that need a cart to run, it also destroys carts with its grip. If you only play the well known games that the stolen (did I mention that already?) emulators are optimised for, it will play nearly flawlessly, other ones will be faulty, some won't play at all. for 20 bucks or so it would be worth the thought but not for what they charge you for a bunch FCUKING STOLEN FUCKING EMULATORS that you can get for free- and then simply input roms without the need for carts.

Yes, don't use stolen emulators. Just emulate yourself and use stolen games.

i've seen a few reviews and they usually just say the same thing "its a all in one system blah blah blah" none really break it down becuase I know this thing can't play 100% of the games its made for. This does pretty good for a review.

I still can't believe it only runs in 720p. So unless you're running this on a 720p TV, you're still dealing with your TV's internal 1080p scaler. Like, how difficult would it have been to get the thing to natively render at 1080p?

Emudevs do not get a penny for their work.

Nintendo or Sega do not lose money with people pirating cartridge games only sold by greedy collectors or scam shop profiting on retrogaming bubble.

Hyperkin is actually making $$$ on emudevs butt without paying anything in return, reducing the cost of the retron5 by saving thousand hours of dev work but still asking insane price for it (hardware real cost has been estimated to be way less than $50 per unit).

Hopefully for them, collectors do not care about moral and don't mind paying $$$ for emulators that they despised before in favor of the "real thing" and which have always been made vailaable for free everywhere else, as long as it justifies their useless cartridge collection to exist.

I have one.

It wiped my 10-years game save from my FF3 cartridge on the first use.

It damaged my copy of Gunstar Heroes after I pulled it from the console several time (yeah, you can only have one of the 5 cartridge ports used at a time), breaking a corner of the pcb (hopefully no damaged pins) because the cartridge port is too tight and it seems like the console will be pulled apart everytime you remove a game (yeah, the plastic box is vey cheap and the console itself very light and fragile).

The NES port had a damaged pin after only one month of use, making a few games not working anymore.

Retron5 does not work with any flashcart and never will.
Remember that thing dumps the ROM from the cartridge so it only works with known cartridge hardware (hence why it fails with cartridges like pier solar). Flashcarts have no ROMs to dump, only a boot RoM that usually is the menu used to flash ROM files from SD to cartridge memory .

I don't have anything against Retron, but I just don't understand why you'd want one.
>owning a shitload of games on the original cartridges but no original consoles
Who the fuck does that? If you're a guy who cares about playing the real thing instead of an emulator, you wouldn't play on an emulator machine. You'd play on the original consoles connected to some old ass CRT tv with no HDMI input. If you don't give a shit, you might as well emulate the games on a PC which is way easier and you can choose the emulators you're going to use. You can download the roms instead of having to buy cartridges and constantly switching them out.
Retron 5 is for people who want the nostalgia of putting a cartridge into a console but don't care if they're really playing the cartridge or a dumped rom that's being emulated and upscaled to HD resolutions. I'm having a hard time believing that these people exist.

i've got two TV's in my place, office and living room, two $2500 LCD's, sorry but i'm not proping up a CRT somewhere to play a retro console once in a while.

Retron5 hooked up to my office TV have 1 controller from each console side by side on the desk, toss in a cart, playing on my LCD.

everyone can bitch and moan bla bla bla the shaders and filters, not original picture!! its like fuck off, yea ok if you're hardcore into retro gaming and you want the whole experiance as it was meant to be ok.

For a casual gamer it's perfect and reduces all the clutter. As well, please dont say omg..lol.. just hook up a computer. I've got my HTPC, Wii, etc. hooked up in my living room.

I don't know, but if you care enough to be able to feel input lag, Retron's controllers are a deal breaker anyway.

The whole thing feels like a cheap piece of Chinese garbage (which, surprise, it is).

Yeah, no. Not sure what setting Retroarch-Wii has, aside from a shitty interface, but VGBA GX by default drops frames and the latest hacked copy running VGBA-M, like Retroarch, can do the same or run with no frame loss and noticeable slowdown the second two objects move. Wii simply is not strong enough for GBA emulation. And, SNES & Genesis work noticeably better with filtering disabled. Once again, because Wii is greatly underpowered.
