It's like an onahole for my NES Tapes

Fast shipping, excellent working. Nice and stiff, and needs to be worked in a bit. Putting in is satisfying, but pulling out is a pain, but by god is it satisfying. Works first time with any game.

this thing works pretty good but it is very cheaply made. my first one was broken out of the box. the power button broke on my second one. the controller is poorly designed for nintendo games. the controllers break really easily. you cant put any old school controllers in. you can only use the included ones. if one or both break you have to track down another one which will probably break soon.

Regardless of these issues i still liked this thing until i got the retro duo portable version 2 by retro bit. i have little to no complaints about this thing. its portable, works on tv, plays snes games, comes with nes adaptor and you can buy a genesis adapter for $20. buy it instead of this thing.

I love the classic gaming consoles! Having grown up with NES, SNES, etc, I have started collecting a few.. have an original Genesis 1 16-bit, NES and SNES. The problem, of course, is that they all use the same RF/coaxial connection... Solution: THIS!

I had managed to get my NES and Genesis connected by AV, and thanks to this product (and&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/uxcell-Black-3-Ways-Splitter-RCA-Audio-Video-AV-Switch-Box-Game-Switcher/dp/B00GN5BZYQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">uxcell Black 3 Ways Splitter RCA Audio Video AV Switch Box Game Switcher</a>) I now have all three connected by AV :D

This system works great!  My original NES died and this one works perfectly.  NO resetting or difficulty in rebooting like the original 'hinged door' 8-bit NES.  Key is:  it works with the original NES controllers!  The controllers that come with it suck.  I threw them out.  But am happy as can be because I have a system that works and will last for $20.  Also, FYI, connection is the standard Red/White/Yellow A/V RCA jacks (standard tv, dvd, vcr analog connection).  I recommend a 2:1 splitter/adaptor so you get stereo.  I think there is only one audio jack (like the orignal NES) but I split it into two (red/white) so you have dual speakers (Left and Right) not just one.

One downside is that it is hard to remove a game.  There is no eject button so I couldn't determine how to eject a game.  I only have one game, the best game ever - Tecmo SuperBowl, so I don't really care, but I found this explanation on another review (thank you):

The system is designed to grip your games tightly to maintain even connections with the cartridge. Although it does this well, it may cause the cartridge to be difficult to remove when finished playing. All you can do is, as carefully as possible, remove the game upwards with even force. Unfortunately, the RES doesn't hold your games in horizontally (from front to back) tightly. The game can wiggle back and forth freely and if moved, the game will freeze. (just wedge some cards or something for spacers on each side to fix this)  Be sure not to touch the game once its up and working.

I've had my eye on the Retron 3 for a while now. The Retron 5 offered more than I needed, as I can play Gameboy games on my Gamecube adaptor. A retro system that plays games from the three classic systems of the mid 80s to mid 90s sounds great. My local bookstore had a 15% percent off sale, and when I saw the new 2.4 GHz edition I decided to take the plunge. Of course, I was still a bit weary having read previous reviews. Here, they fixed the biggest issue by including controllers using radio frequencies so you don't have to line up your controller directly with an IR sensor. But, does it work? For the most part, yes. However, there is a latency issue where sometimes the on screen character will not react to input for a second. Of course, you can still connect original corded controllers to the system, in which case the controls are as perfect as they are on the original systems. Also, beware, that although they copied the design of the Genesis 6-button controller, buttons A & B and X & Y are switched. At first I thought this was an error on their part but the directions do state that the buttons correspond that way. Sure, you can change button input on a lot of games but it is a minor annoyance.
The included S-video cable did not work right without having to bend the cord a little. Now I wish I would have picked up some S-video cables from a dollar store a few years back when I saw them. Fitting the cartridges in and especially pulling them out can be a bit tricky. Obviously, this was cheaply made to keep costs down, but it's still functional.
The first game I tried was the Genesis 6-in-1 pak with Sonic, Streets of Rage, Shinobi, etc. As per usual with Genesis sound emulation, it is not perfect. But unlike some emulators where the sound can be very different in spots, the problem here is more where the sound just goes quiet in certain spots. Other than the sound and latency issues with the included cordless controller, the games appeared to play perfectly.
Next I tried my two FX chip Super Nintendo games, Starfox and SMW2: Yoshi's Island. Both played and sounded exactly like on the original SNES, except for, again, latency with the Retron controller. The music does come across a bit loudly on SNES games.
Update: I tested a couple of NES games (Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers and Rad Racer) and they work just fine. An original or 3rd party plug-in controller is still the best way to go.

Works great.  Colors do appear slightly off from the games when plugged in via the standard rca cables, but I won't mark it down for that because I can now play my NES, SNES, and N64 in 1080p on a large screen tv without any pixeling.  It is a brilliant product.

I ordered this for our NES Classic Mini. Since the controller cable is only 28 inches. This makes it so easy now. I ran the cable between the wall and the carpet. So it's out of sight. There is zero lag in the gameplay. For 10 dollars you really can't go wrong.

I wanted to hook up my Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis to my 16:9 computer monitor while retaining the 4:3 aspect ratio the consoles output, (something most cheaper composite to hdmi converters fail to do.) In my online studies and found that my monitor would allow vga inputs to have a changeable aspect ratio, (both 16:9 and 4:3)

So with further studying I came across this product and ordered it. The delivery itself was fast and the contents were packaged in a zip-lock baggy of sorts. Once I had setup the unit itself and the consoles, I launched my games and to my horror the pictures were in black and white. Both my SNES and Genesis lacked most if not all color that should've been present, the images I've included show what each system looked like.

At first I thought the unit may have been defective but I connected my N64 and everything seemed fine and dandy. It's a real shame because I wanted to have the SNES and Genesis plugged into my monitor instead of my N64, which I had connected to my CRT TV.

Guessing by the other reviews this seems to work with consoles after the SNES, so if you have a console which came out before the N64 this product might not work out for you.

Oh, and there isn't any latency with the controller input for any of the systems, so at least you can play Sonic 1928 edition without input lag.

This little guy saves me from having to crawl behind my entertainment stand every time I want to trade sound from the TV to my PS3.

My surround sound only has one optical in port, so I had to keep switching back and forth. I placed this guy next to the TV stand and with a quick switch I can go between them. No issues for over 1 month of use. It should be noted that it is bigger than it appears. About 6 inches in diameter, if I were to just make a guess from my memory. However, I do not notice it, as it is low profile.

I picked this up so I could play Tecmo Bowl when traveling and continue my NES seasons. The codes are compatible between the two systems for that game. I got green because it was the least expensive and the one I got works perfectly. The batteries last many hours and I couldn't be happier with it.

Cheap in design but hey, it looks like an SNES controller. Too cool to pass up.

I only used it a bit but it works very well. I have only used it to view my analog tapes. I did not use it to copy to my hard disk yet.

For the price of this device it is well worth it to transfer old tapes to computer.

Worked perfectly with my original NES and SNES controllers!
