I can't actually find out where I stumbled upon this again, but NES30/SNES30 wireless bluetooth controllers by 8Bitdo now feature a mode that allows them to work with RetroN5. It requires you to update your controller with a new firmware (which is currently in beta-testing.) Here are the links to do...

According to the official Retron5 webpage, Mega Drive is listed as one of the 10 systems supported by the Retron5. I just won a Mega Drive cartridge on eBay, so I'll be able to test for sure soon.

In addition to Game Mode being on, make sure that ALL post-processing options for your TV are off. Game Mode doesn't necessarily turn these off on all TVs.

I wish I could do that same for my collection, but unfortunately I don't have the space for those cases. Recently I've been taking all my games OUT of cases to fit them in a tighter space...

Trying to keep these carts organized has been a bit of a hassle because you cannot stack/arrange the carts in any way the shows the game's title. My solution: labels to pu...

Thanks! I bought these, and they work great with the Retron5! I have no idea why my other extension cables don't work, but I'm glad it's not my system that's the problem.

Thanks! I just had a chance to try out the new patch last night, and this one works great with my copy of Bahamut Lagoon! No more scrambled text!

Is there a patch out there for Bahamut Lagoon that will work on the Retron5 without issue? I tried the one here on MediaFire , but it garbled the text for spell names and items.
