  I read or saw a video where some tech savy gamers were explaining/warning that those cheapo power adapters have a tendency to give inconsistent power thus could fry some of the electronics inside your system. I would just play it safe and get an og used one instead since they cost the same.

I've been using the fufu av cable for a while. Forgot where I put the og cable.

I have the sega that brings 80 games.

Play Streets of Rage and the sound is terrible.

I heard the Genesis plug and play have certain issues.

pftjordans , I got the Retron 5 also for about 110 from Amazon. Had it on preorder, but my card never processed it because I got a new one along the way. The price shot up to like 200 but I still got the preorder amount.

I definitely appreciate how I can have all my games on one system and save space. My only gripe is that sometimes the cart doesn't read, and if you try to start it, it will erase the cartridge's save. Not sure if that happens to anyone else. So I make sure to use save states every time.

Convinced my Vizio just isn't meant to run old systems .

Nice!!!! I got mine off jet.com for 120! Awesome deal u got

I have not had issues. But I am careful about saving my game progress, cleaning the cartridge before inserting and turning the system off before removing or switching out a game. It's fits real tight for SNES games so I'm careful not to yank it out. Gameboy games run excellent as well. No issues in that area but I still handle with care...

Enjoy man!!

GRAND UPPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Played a couple games on the firestick with the 8bit controller lastnight...Not bad at all.

Response time is kind of slow...But the fact I can simply play Blades of Steel and Super Mario RPG makes me real happy.

 

[D StaXX]

Got my firestick in the mail yesterday.
Can anyone recommend the best controller?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Gotta see if my NES hooks up to this new tv

It's some garbage made by AT Games with SEGA licensing. You're actually better off finding an OG Genesis 1 or Genesis 2 for under $50. Genesis games are still quite cheap vs. SNES.

You need an upscaler that will convert 240p/480i or even 480p content to 720p/1080i/1080p and beyond.

I mentioned it earlier but there's the XRGB Mini and also newer device called OSSC.

Oh the audio/video cables?!
Yeah, the SNES, N64 and GameCube use the same one.

400 smackaroos crazy there isn't a cheaper alternative.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I'm pretty lucky my isignia plays the SNES and 64. Hoping the nes too but haven't tried yet.

OSSC is cheaper at around 225-250 depending on conversion. Has little to no input lag but is an open source design - so you need to be tech savvy to operate it. It also doesn't have Composite (Yellow) or S-Video inputs, just SCART, Component & VGA.

XRGB is more user friendly but has input lag and is very expensive.

Yea, i might just do that.

 

[green rhino123]

most genesis games are dirt cheap
but then some of the great ones are pretty expensive with case & instructions...like the tmnt in time game for example...even strider or ghouls n ghosts

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

Anyone getting that NES classic that drops in Nov.?

 

[Nike Jordan]

I might buy one for my mother.
