Better than the original
Awesome Retro gaming system if you get bored and want to play your classic games if you don’t have the original consoles!
Just wished they had a separate audio output!For the cheapies out there, you can download your roms, and convert it to IPS with a converter program.That way you have access to all retro games!All you need is one cartridge of each console you’d want to play a game on.I spent $50 for the Sega game gear adapter, then spent $20 on about 8 game cartridges (averaging at just over $1 per cartridge), ranging from the Japanese gameboy and famicom cartridges, to sega gamegear, and NES cartridges. Games on the cartridges sucked, but you can load an IPS over it, so basically the cartridge enables you to load the correct console for the games on the SD card.If you’re not into this illegal actions, you can also purchase legit games, and load them in the Retron 5. Or download ROMS and convert them to an IPS, of the games you already own; and then play it.The benefit is, if you have lots of cartridges already, you don’t need to unpack them, just run them from SD card.I think most people will spend a few hours for nostalgia purposes on this machine, but since the age of the games, these games probably won’t be played regularly!The Retron 5 has HDMI output, but no separate stereo out! So, unless you have a soundbar, accepting HDMI signals, or a headphones jack on your TV, you’re stuck with the TV speakers.The best image is to just run the native resolution, or upscale it by 2x, 3x or 4x (640×480 x2 = 1280×960, or x3 = 1920×1440, or x4 = 2560×1920); or let your TV stretch the image.The image is razor sharp on my 4k TV, using 4x upscaling.I don’t use the internal scalers. They make the image look weird.Retron 5 doesn’t accept generic bluetooth controllers, so you got to buy a few of the original Retron 5 controllers, or original gaming console controllers.The only problem with the SNES controllers are that the cables are pretty short.USB controllers also aren’t supported!
After however many months of delay, the Retron 5 has finally been released. Having tested it through a fairly large number of carts, I can say that Hyperkin did a good job what they’ve released. (Both product, and firmware updates)First and foremost, let’s talk about the feature set. The console runs NES, Famicom, SNES, Super Famicom, GBC, GBA, and the Sega Master System. (I may have forgotten one or two?) The convenience of having all of these played through a single console is pretty fantastic. In addition, it’s nice being able to play GBC / GBA titles on the TV without needing a gamecube and the increasingly rare GBA player. (Let alone those expensive component cables)Graphics and sound are both carried over perfectly as far as I (and other perfectionist friends) can tell. Colors are dead on as are the proportions on every sprite assuming you use the original resolution scaling. As has been covered by others here, games will look fantastic. On top of just looking great, the Retron outputting at a native 720p means that you won’t run into any additional input lag caused by upscaling on your TV’s part. (A VERY common problem trying to run older consoles with an HD TV)Sound is also excellent. Said friends and I ran through a gauntlet of games known to commonly have issues with emulators and sound quality. GBA, SNES, NES, and Genesis titles all sounded pitch perfect on every song or sound effect. No complaints here. The system will have an “Audio Enhancement” feature on by default, but you can turn this off to have titles running EXACTLY as you remember them, audiowise.As far as gameplay goes, titles were MOSTLY perfect. Playing Super Metroid had me experiencing a couple sporadic glitches that I don’t recall ever happening on SNES hardware. Megaman X also had a couple times where things seemed a little wonky. While these glitches were present, they were extremely few and far between. NES / GBA / Genesis* titles carried no such issues and played perfectly. In additio.
Easily the best hd solution for older games, especially if you aren’t fond of breaking the law or mucking around with your computer. If a firmware update with support for other bluetooth controllers comes along, it would be nearly perfect.
I’m able to play the GBA Games I have however the Genesis Games even after cleaning them I still getting a Blank Red Screen the Genesis games I have are Mick and Mack: Global Gladiators, Batman Returns, Animaniacs and Fatal Fury and they all have that Red Blank Screen
Amazing so far. I am treating it nice due to the other complaints of loose pins, but so far, so good.I love this thing. HD NES games with game saves! WUT?!?! yeah it is fantastic. A hit at parties and on my free time as I try and tackle the impossible games I never could beat as a kid (SOLOMON’s KEY, I am on the last level!).
I had a box of NES, SNES, GB, GBA games kicking around my home office well… since I moved out of my parents and wasn’t sure what to do with them – this is the treasure trove of my childhood (I was a nerdy kid, so everything was in mint)… I knew some of them were worth money but, I make a good living and the sentimental value/attachment I have with these things is worth way more…. then I heard about this. I picked up the Retron5 and I love playing a lot of my old games – it’s a great compliment to my already hooked up GC and Wii U in my office (so with virtual console) I can literally play all the games I loved from every generation now all on my gaming PC monitor is digital glory (well, the GC is coming out of component, then through a VGA box to the PC… so, not digital but it looks fantastic just the same!)… if you like retro stuff, and even more if you’ve already got an old collection laying around – pick this up and enjoy some nostalgia!
The system itself is fine, no real issues. It has worked with almost every game I’ve tried, which is more than some of these other clone systems. The video quality is really good, 720p is more than enough for these old games. There isn’t really any input delay, which is very welcome. Some of the "retro" features like adding scan lines are fine. They’re not appealing for myself, but they look fine. I haven’t played with any of the sound enhancements.As a word of warning, the controller that arrived was dead on arrival, the analog nub is incredibly messed up. The controller might still work but that was very disappointing to see. However, I was planning on using a SNES controller anyways and it works perfectly fine. You can change the controller settings for every emulated system so you can potentially use a SNES controller for everything like I am currently doing, some with options for Turbo controls.Overall I like this system. 8 and 16 bit games have never looked so good.
Awesome. I can play my vintage game collection on one machine and with save states. Win, Win. Quality is a little cheap but so far, everything has worked perfectly. I have even used an SD card and applied English translations with my Famicom and Super Famicom games without any issues. Highly recommend.
