So, not sure this topic will make sense, but I trust that the modders in the PCEFX forums are some of the most knowledgeable out there.
I recently got a Retron 3. I chose this one over the Retron 5 mainly because I wanted to use it, along with my TG16 with a sweet Commodore 1701 monitor that I have. The screen is small, but I have a good space now in my guest room to put my retro stuff and it just seems fitting to play these games on a CRT type screen.
What I'm wondering however is if there are mods that can be done to the Retron 3 that can make it better. I know that clone hardware will never be better than original (and I'll probably get original consoles eventually, but my primary concern is collecting TG16 stuff, not the others).
Basically what I've heard is that there are issues with some sound reproduction for the SNES and Genesis, and some incompatibility issues with some games for all 3 slots. I'm just curious if anyone has taken the time to mod one of these and what can be done to get the best quality possible out of them.

Its not an original system there isn't anything to mod, the clone system on a chip is doing the best it can.

Yeah I've come across a few things on the net that made mention of things like replacing resistors with different values, etc. to produce more accurate sound and such. I'm sure there's not a ton that can be done, but certainly curious.
