It Would Be the Ultimate in Retro with a Few Improvements

Nifty.

It needs an added ethernet connection to update the firmware automatically (maybe they can put one in the next model)... and they should implement achievements by utilizing the system established at retroachievements.org.

Also, the leeway in the cartridge slots gives a bit too much room. Cartridges ...

Item Description

Time to play all the games! This incredible device from Cyber Gadget claims to support original games from the Famicom, SNES, Mega Drive/Genesis, PC Engine, TurboGrafx-16, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Color, and Supergrafx!

Here is the real kicker: the Retro Freak will also allow you to rip and install all these games from the cartridge onto the console with the use of an SD card! The device also has an HDMI output and supports 720p upscaling, instant saving, and cheat codes for certain games.

The actual console comes in two main parts: the largest piece is actually the cartridge adaptor while the smaller workhorse hides underneath emulating all your favorite old school titles.

Both versions (Standard & Premium) also ship with a SNES-style controller, but it will also work with both modern gamepads such as the DualShock 3 and DualShock 4. The Premium version also ships with the controller adaptor that supports Famicom, Super Famicom, Sega Genesis, and TurboGrafx controllers.

Amazing system

This is the ultimate way to play original software on an HD TV.

On my experience, I think I got an old system because I cannot get the software update install but that's the only drawback I have for it.

Overall I think the fact you can use your games and even your own controllers (with the adapter) is worth the price tag.

Great for old games

I really love being able to play all my old games on one console

Great console!

The price TOTALLY justifies itself. Considering the NES and now new SNES classic editions run at about $100 CAD, this console can not only run the same games but you can ADD more games!!!!!
It's a no brainer really! I've gotten a hold of 30 different ROMS for NES, SNES, SEGA, AND GAMEBOY, all 30 of them run smooth!

The fact that I can save ALL THE GAMES to a micro SD card, also amazed me.

Don't even bother with NES/SNES classic edition. This thing can trump those 2 consoles!

By the way, shpping to Canada was a breeze! :D

Mixed bag

Positive: The console is great for playing all those old games. The controller feeles good an the menu system is comprehensive.
Negative: I can't udate the firmware! I have the feeling, I was sold an console from an outdated stock pile, since my board revision is still v1.0 vs. the current v1.2
Negative: Support from Cyber Gadget is not existent. I tried to e-Mail them because of my FW issue but never got a response.

Also, the leeway in the cartridge slots gives a bit too much room. Cartridges should fit tight behind and in front. Now if you push forward or backward on the cassette it feels as if the connector may snap off below because there is too much room available.

Other than that, it should be able to play NES and Game Gear games right out of the box... and the controller adaptor should be built in. All the connectors that you must purchase separately are quite a drag.
