So Hyperkin is finally releasing an adapter for Retron 5.  It will play Master System carts AND cards, as well as Gamegear games!  They are up for preorder on hyperkin's site and amazon.  There is also talk of future adapters.

FINALLY something will play gamegear games!

That's pretty cool. I imagine they'll be cropped save for the few that run at the Master System res.

Very cool.

I have my Game Gear LCD and VGA modded, so I can play my game gear natively on a TV (with VGA) or computer monitor.  My go to however is usually the GameGear emu on my modded original xbox.

Nice to see more ways for people to play the original carts!

Sweet! Now all we need is a hardware clone with better battery life and smaller size.
