It loads the game genie itself. But after you enter codes and press start it just resets the game genie. You can't play the connected game.

Dont have alot of time for heavy gaming so cheats are nice, especially if ive already beaten a really hard game without them and get all nostalgic and wanna play a few minutes.
TyrannicalFascist:
Picked up and tested 4 more GBA games:

-F-Zero: Maximum Velocity - works fine
-Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - works fine
-Sonic Battle - works fine
-Wario Land 4 - game works fine, didn't read my save games on the Retron, upon reinserting it into my GBA it notified me that File A was lost and would be erased, though oddly File B was not affected.

And tested Street Fighter II for SNES, seems to work fine as well.

I'd like to see the results of someone running the 240p test suite on it, vs a quality upscaler like XRGB Mini (Framemeister).  Problem is since it blocks flash carts, you'd need it on a repo and hope it works.

Same here. Where I use to find satisfaction in retrying a level a 100 times before beating it, I now find some frustration and I abandon!
That's what happens when your free time for gaming goes from 8 hours to 15 mins a day :)
