Hey, thank you so much for sharing with us!I got an insider tip from a secret sourceSSSSShhhhhhhhhhhh.............
I'm not really clear if it dumps the rom, then you play that, or if it detects what game is in the slot then loads up the rom, but it is emulated. I'm guessing you are testing games before selling them. Best bet...use original hardware. I wish I had a better answer.
Testing for selling and for myself. Can't test games at yard sales or goodwills. Need a console to test now since buying 8+ retro consoles isn't cheap. I did get a Gamecube for $15 (w/ a Gameboy Player and start up disc) but that isn't the norm.
chances are if a retro cartridge is unreadable the contacts are dirty or stripped. It's possible there could be other problems, but most of the time that's the problem. I'm guessing if there is a problem with the contacts the retron won't be able to read the cart and thus you have your test. Other things like battery failure might not be detected, though.
I have not tested this but there is a function to copy saved files from the cart and to copy them back to the cart. Has anyone tried this feature? Would love to be able to play GBA game on the big screen in the weekends and continue playing on the go.
I went into the Urban Outfitters nearest to me today and attempted to communicate with the people working there. At one point I felt like I might have to get a universal translator, or at least insert some "Bro! Dude!" into my dialogue but I was able to communicate.
at the store I went to they were playing something over the store speakers that sounded like wrestler entrance music
Just as an FYI, my store I found them in didnt have them out on the floor. They were in the backroom. I also took a look around when I first got there as I didnt really want to have to ask somebody but couldnt find them and only found out after asking that they were not out on the floor. Best of luck to all!
I totally forgot about the english patches, I didn't even think they had patches for US released titles. I need to start looking into this.Retron 5 gets a lot of hate (some deserved) but I really like mine. The second batch of Retron 5's fixed the pins issue and the updates have made the system awesome for people who have little space and want to play older games on a modern tv. The retron allows for patching so I can but famicom version of rpgs and still be able to play them in english for a fraction of the cost of getting the snes version. Here's me playing Chrono Trigger which I pad $8 for
He wants a daughter with a mind like a diamond. He wants a daughter who knows what's best.
LOL ours is too. The Fashion Mall is what it's called. All of the clothes suck, and theirs and apple store in it, that always has a ton of people in it just...in there.
How does the translating work?
How does this work? Do you have to supply the translation file somehow or what??Retron 5 gets a lot of hate (some deserved) but I really like mine.

Ha! Nah I just called up the day this was posted and asked how many they had in. They had a few up there, but I guess word got out.
Indiana lol? I live in Carmel
OMG! Thank you for pointing this out! I just went to UO to do return and repurchase to get the extra 30% off.
I will be checking location in Palm Beach Gardens in a few hours, will post results and leave some stock if they happen to be available.
Was told they were sold out.
Guess a lurker got there, was too much of a drive for me
You can apparently buy them over the phone and have it shipped to your house. That's what I was going to do since no stores in my area have them.
Oh nice! Thanks for the heads up.
No problem! Just hope to find a store that has one lol.
Would have been nice if someone left us a couple at the Delray location, guess that post backfired on me quickly lol
Yep! Indianapolis here. Small world my friend.
The retron dumps the japanese version from the cart. What you do to create the english patch is get the japanese and english rom. You then can use Lunar IPS to create an IPS patch from the english version/.I can't exactly confirm this as I've only bought Famicom/Super Famicom games that were Japan only but supposedly if you insert a Japanese game that has an English version, it will dump the English version instead of the Japanese version. But yeah, who would create an English patch for a game that has a localized version already? I mean, unless the original translated script was really butchered or something.
Games are also translated through IPS patches. If you have an SD card, you place them on there and when you insert the game, you can apply the translation patch in the game's settings.
Oh, and in the end I decided it wasn't worth the gas to drive over to my stores so if MD/DC has any, it's all yours. I could have called, but I have no free time this weekend.
