Before I actually played a game, I was very interested in the different setting and options available.
If you have this problem most likely your system will need to be replaced:Īnyway, on to the review. On the right is an example of a cartidge input dropping the connection with the game. Here are videos of two issues I had: On the left is an issue with Super Metroid freezing after launching, that was fixed with a firmware update. Finally, if it still doesn’t work, contact Hyperkin. If you’re still having issues, I suggest thoroughly cleaning your games. Just an FYI: If you have issues with your Retron 5 not reading cartridges properly, first try updating the firmware. Be extremely careful when inserting and removing cartridges from this system!!!! The first thing I noticed is that each cartridge slot is really tight! Honestly, be warned: Other than the GB/GBC/GBA slots, inserting your cartridges feels almost dangerous! Some are worse than others, but all require you to put way too much force on the cartridge and system. 0.2.2 firmware, you’ll get this screen, which will render your device useless until you update:Īfter the system was finally working, I tried one game from each system.

Then, after restarting, have the system write an “update file” to an SD card, then go to this site to submit the upgrade file and get the latest version (I really wish Hyperkin would just handle firmware updates like everyone else).

Next, I tried updating the firmware and ran into trouble there as well: You first have to manually update it from version v0.2.0 to v0.2.2 by downloading this file (just copy it to an SD card and insert it into the R5).
First, the Genesis and Game Boy / Game Boy Color cartridge slots didn’t read the cartridges (I ended up having to send my unit back for repair). I received my Retron 5 right on launch day and was immediately hit with a few snags. For more basic information, I suggest check out Hyperkin’s page, as well as the many videos on YouTube that show gameplay footage. This review concentrates on things only hardcore retro-gamers would care about.
The Retrofreak might be a better option, as its essentially the same thing, but allows for direct playing of roms from an SD card without any hacking required. I no longer own this console and I’m not sure I’d recommend it anymore. Some systems suffer from a lot of lag, but others are bearable. The Retron 5 is an emulation console based off Retroarch that uses original consoles and controllers.
