There's now controversy over the theft of source code for the emulators used in the Retron 5. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0ChhWQgZaSc
QUICK buy one before they are "rare" and pulled off the shelf!
-I honeslty can't tell if I am joking or being serious in my own comment.........
Thought about getting one before all the things happen, but don't know how I feel about owning a hunk of shit, I mean, I already have an N64 (possible j/k) wouldn't wanna add to it.

I saw on Facebook today that they are now raising the MSRP to $159, even after all this. I like the idea of an emulator box with controller ports but this one is not for me.

Raising the price!? I figured they would lower the price to liquidate the current inventory to raise revenue to pay for their lawsuit before they are ordered to stop selling them. Lol

i'm honestly just curious how i would go about loading this up :)
but also, why does the genesis emulation seem so shitty?

that is weird I had not noticed.
But then again I do not own this system, and have only seen reviews of it on line......and even then they like to mostly focus on NES, SNES, and the game boy funcitons....Genesis and SM get little to no screen time.

Retron 5 running Ys for PCE. I hope that there is a hack released soon.

This is very interesting. I've had one since day one and had no idea it was able to do all these other things. I like the Retron5, it's very convenient for all my 16-bit cart gaming needs as well as teh famicoons.
