Retron 5 (aka 4)
komodos:
Got mine yesterday. With the recent update I can play pretty much everything but homebrew and reproduction carts. And even then I can still play them the cart just isn't recognized.
Blumpkin:
I got mine a couple days ago but I haven't had a chance to hook it up yet. It showed up the day after my wife gave birth to our first child, so that's had me a little busy. ::)
Hopefully I soon get a chance to play some retro games and some Destiny alpha/beta.

One more question...is the retron 3 the same as the 5 except the 5 has an hdmi port? Does the 3 have built in cheats?

The Retron5 is an emulation based machine. Retron3 is a pirate "on a chip" technology. Best way to try and explain it is the retron5 is more like a computer and the retron3 is just the system (no added features)
