Re: Trying different controllers

I tried keyboard and mouse and that works as well. Only problem is when the emulator starts, control goes ...

Multi Cart Roms Work. Why?

I've noticed doing the ips trick, that whenever I run previously extracted multicart roms to test (not to keep), they work just fine. All games within work fine. So it seems to me that the problem is when the Retron itself EXTRACTS the roms. I wonder if this was limited on purpose to avoid piracy, r...

Re: NES30/SNES30 Wireless Controllers - Compatible with Retr

I have the Nes30 Pro, so things may be a bit different for you, but I had a similar issue. They have "extended" firmwares or something like that. My problem was I was assuming the latest firmware would do it all. Unfortunately as of this moment that's not the case. For the Nes30 pro at lea...

Re: Compilation carts don't work?

There might be a way if you own the cart to get it to run. I've managed to get multi roms to work (just to test out, I delete afterwards) by dumping the rom and using the ips patch feature. Try making or finding your particular rom and turn it into a patch to the cart (if it recognizes the cart) and...

Re: Trying different controllers

So I received my NES30 Pro and USB OTG cable yesterday. I didn't have a lot of time, but I did manage to try out one thing. I plugged the USB OTG cable on the back of the console and plugged in a USB mouse. It worked. A cursor actually showed up and I was able to navigate the menu. I'm not sure if g...
