| Interesting device if it works as advertised |

Wasn't suggesting bundling actual emulators with it - just a front end. They can't be prosecuted for designing a GUI. |

Doesn't look too hot though cause the graphics simply were made for a small screen. --- End quote --- Oh right forgot the AV-cable option, ang forgot to write: ... with a pad. --- Quote from: HexAnimus on January 05, 2012, 02:44:18 PM ---and the SRAM data (*.srm) for saves as well as write access, if enabled, to the SRAM data. ... and have the save data to go with it! I'd be interested in it for back up of SRAM data alone... Plus seeing has how these carts are 20+ years old, in some cases, being able to back up the saves before I change the battery in them would be really nice as well! --- End quote --- Damn that's it!!! Now I want one. |

Well, considering that emulators aren't actually illegal, what these guys are doing isn't that much different from what the Retro N series does. That price tag really kills it for me though. At that price, I could get a Retro N, or even the new SupaBoy coming out, and have money left over. |

Having the ability to move my save from console to portable platform (be it my android phone or laptop) would be quite awesome if I'm away on business and in the middle of Phantasy Star 3 or Breath of Fire or something and can't bring a slew of consoles and carts. ;D --- Quote from: Seraph Man on January 06, 2012, 11:07:31 AM ---Well, considering that emulators aren't actually illegal, what these guys are doing isn't that much different from what the Retro N series does.

It always seemed over priced and lesser quality than the original stuff. Now I always watch for a good deal on hardware and never pay "going rate" for anything so that is just my experience. But from what I was seeing there is only a $5 difference between the Retrode 2 and the Supaboy. Granted there are people who just want to plug a cart in and go and that's perfectly acceptable, its what we all do when we drag out our beloved consoles! But I think this is for a more technically oriented crowd who like to mess with stuff or deal with more nitty-gritty details than the average gamer. However, even for me, the Retrode 2 is just about at the limit of what I would pay for such a device, if it was over $100 I would probably pass. Still can't justify ordering an OpenPandora device though it doesn't stop me from drooling over the possibilities with owning one though. ;) |
