Hyperkin: RetroN 5 News and Discussion Thread

Anyone else got one? Mine just came in today been playing with it for a little bit.

It plays NES, SNES, Sega, GB, GBA, and Famicom games. Upscales the video to 720P and upsamples the audio too.

Seems like the 72-pin NES reader is already messed up.

The contacts are jacked up and it can't read any carts anymore



I've reached out to them, let's see how they handle it...

Forgot to post that I got one as a Dad's Day gift from the wife. Played with it off and on...very cool. Having that HDMI connection is awesome.
