32x should be possible, all they'd need to do would be to add support for it into the megadrive emulator, then release some type of cartridge adaptor so the carts actually fit. im more concerned about handheld compatability, why no neogeo pocket, wonderswan, game gear or lynx support? last time i tried, 5-6 years ago, emulators for those were pretty good, if not perfect. |

With luck, they'll release another system later that adds support for some more handhelds. |

what about a system that just did hand helds? i'd buy one! |

There just isnt' enough people that want that compatibility to make it a worth while investment to develop. Its a shame. A good Game Gear or Lynx portable would be great. Maybe a kickstarter for something like this if someone can figure out how to do it. |

(Sorry about the bump, been away from the site for a while) 32X carts have the same pin output as Genesis carts (which is why Genesis carts can be played through the 32X), so as long as the cart slot on the Retron 5 can accommodate them (which is all in the case design), it'd just be a matter of patching in an emulator if one is ever produced. As for the Famicom Disk System, it SHOULD work mostly fine with the Retron 5 in theory. Unlike the 32X (which adds extra processors and stuff), the FDS basically just copies the needed game data to the RAM Adapter (the part that connects to the cartridge slot), which is then read like any cartridge would be. |
