Basically, R5 compatibility is a toss-up, unless you know exactly what's inside and whether that configuration has actually been tested on the R5 or not.

Thanks for the info,that is actually pretty helpful. It also makes sense. There were several repros in the store that had "DOES NOT WORK WITH R5" on the cart, so I guess those titles are made differently. Clocktower, the Zelda hacks, Brutal Mario, etc.
As for THIS game, the store knows I live on the other end of the country and they're always good to me, so I have trust in them...that and they have a demo retron 5 in the store that I sampled it on just to make sure. ;)

Same! I just recently got an email saying it should ship this week though. Not sure how long it's going to take...

I know this is a long post with a lot of pictures. I apologize. ;)

It's been a little bit since I posted my pickups, but I figured I'd post the last week's thrift shop pickups. For those of you who have given up or are close to giving up on thrift shops -- don't! You can still get pretty lucky at some thrift shops.

First up.. I got this game at a Goodwill for $3. Since I don't collect Xbox, I already sold it for $20.

The next few photos are all from the same day.

(I paid $.50 for sealed Fifa)

These were impulse buys. $5 each.

These were $5 each. All mint condition.

Here is my personal favorite pickup of the week. This is the original Star Wars soundtrack. Paid a whopping $1.50 for it ;D.

In this next photo, I paid next to nothing for each of these. Nascar 08 was purchased sealed, but the shrink-wrap was peeling, so I just tore it off.

I got this for $5 at a local resale shop. Still sealed of course.

Also got this for $5 at the same shop.

I am sure I missed a few things. I seem to be getting quite lucky lately.

I also just finished upgrading the PC in my custom arcade cabinet (new case/SSD).

Did you get a shipping confirmation or tracking number when this was shipped out?
