The NES Everdrive is also awesome.  I have the NES, SNES, Genesis, and TG16 Everdrives and love them all.  Doesn't stop me from keeping my library of real games going at all.  They're great for when you just want to f*ck around and play a bunch of different games.

I love emu to try out games I may other wise pass on. Nothing beats having the real thing. For me anyway. I want manuals, cases, the whole bit.

I do agree with you Nando, but having everything on one cart is so handy. On the Genesis I have pretty much every game I want for it already, but not having to dig out the collection when I just want to play a quick game of Streets of Rage or something is awesome.

I mean, if I want the full blown Genesis experience I'll grab my model 1 Genesis and Sega CD, find all the cables, plug everything in, grab a stack of genesis carts and go to town. If I just want a quick game of Sonic or Gunstar Heroes I'll just plug the little model 2 up and stick the flash cart in.

That's one reason I was looking into the Retron5, at least until I have the space to have all the systems out. As it is, during the week, it's a bit of a hassle to go hookup, etc, etc, etc. That's when the tablet and the Six Axis come into play :D

It's a GREAT time to be a gamer!

The only problem I see with the Retron-5 is being forced to use anything but HDMI. CRTs are out. :(

Oh neat, I didn't know that. I hope it doesn't use some shitty HDMI to composite scaler like the Neo Geo X.

That's awesome! This must have changed. When showing the system at MGC, and in an interview with Retro Gamer, the creator stated that the system was the be HDMI only. He must have listened to all the belly-aching feedback. Kudos.

Can we bellyache a little more and get 240p rgb?
