Re: Nobody here?

I'm also a huge slacker with a full time job and a family. XD The plus side is that said job keeps this forum online, but said family doesn't permit me as much time as it used to. D: We're happy to have the active members that we do, but yea until Hyperkin provides more updates and generates further...

Re: As the New Year is fresh in mind

Looks like a legitimate spammer, only the 2nd we've ever had. XD

Re: Here is Practical Explanation about Next Life,

This is literally the first spam we've gotten on the forum. I of course have to keep it for posterity despite having banned the poster. :)

Re: NES30/SNES30 Wireless Controllers - Compatible with Retr

The controller is fabulous, no annoying clicks or cumbersome cords. Battery life seems adequate. I've never run out while playing thus far.

Re: NES30/SNES30 Wireless Controllers - Compatible with Retr

I'm pretty sure they're for either, however I haven't purchased a PRO yet. You may want to check with the manufacturer just to be sure. Note, even if you start it with the first button pair, you still MUST pair the controller as previously outlined. I actually had to try several times to simulate th...

Re: N64/Game Gear for Retron?

It was really surprised when they didn't include it the first time around. I suspect it due to parts availability which is a rumor we heard way back when. It would be really nice if they could make Atari happen in the next build as well. One less ancient system needing to be connected through coax t...

Re: Trying different controllers

Originally Hyperkin stated this port was only for charging, but as we all know they lied. I haven't really thought to plug much more than a mouse/keyboard into that port, but I am head over heals for this wireless controller which supports the Retron 5 via a firmware update: https://www.retro5.net/v...

Re: NES30/SNES30 Wireless Controllers - Compatible with Retr

I haven't gotten the pro model myself but it should be compatible since the firmware exists. I would contact the manufacturer in this case after confirming the unit does pair with other bluetooth systems correctly. Maybe you got a dud or the firmware isn't the right version?

Re: NES30/SNES30 Wireless Controllers - Compatible with Retr

The pairing instructions are in the OP's original post on page 1 of this thread: https://www.retro5.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=228#p1013 They're also outlined on the manufacturer's website here: http://www.fc30.com/eng/firmware-update.html You have to go into the Retron 5's Controller settings unde...
