Retron5 finally has a release date

I prefer everything off.

so in other words it sucks.

Not necessarily.  They use the same filters found in most emulators, and I just don't care for the "smooth" look.  I want my 8 and 16-bit sprites chunky!  With the enhancements turned off, the system does a really good job upscaling to 1080p and keeping everything nice and sharp.  

yeah I'm not talking about smoothing filters etc., they sure suck big balls. but when the scanlines fail then the whole thing fails, unless you buy an xrgb, but which then will cost you how many times more than that thing already does?

and no, I don't wanna see sharp 320*240 (or so) NES pixles on 1080p

Aren't these things generally built like crap and break after a week?

My FC Twin I bought in 2008 is still working great.

How man 360's have people gone through in that time?

Interesting/cool machine. Just found out about it from a SNES Component Mod thread when somebody posted about this as an alternative since it outputs HDMI. Instead of messing around with old systems to mod them for S-Video or Component output, you can go straight to pure digital with this. I wonder about the 100% compatibility, if so, pretty impressive.

So, seeing as how the release date for this draws nearer...is anyone thinking of preordering one?

I did pre-order one but now they have delayed the release date  to "the first quarter of 2014".
Hopefully they can sort out whatever issues they're dealing with and get this thing to market.

Besides Turbo games, it'd be nice if this also could do Lynx, Game Gear, Wonder Swan & Neo Geo Pocket games!  I'd love to be able to play those games on a tv, especially Lynx & NGP.

Definitely game gear games.  It would be nice to play GG games on a screen that doesn't completely suck.

what I'd love to see is a retro-CD system. PCECD/SegaCD/Saturn That would be awesome.

For now, IMHO, (in terms of emulation) nothing beats a modded Wii with the controller adapter.
