Re: Snes & SMD Roms arent working

Assuming you are patching the roms to an existing cartridge, you have to be using a valid patch for the right version of the cart, belonging to the correct system in order to achieve this.

Well, shit. XD

Honestly this may not be insurmountable on the Retro Freak. Folks have already figured out how to run other android apps on the unit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnArsOSe9Aw Can't imagine it would be much harder to replace default application versions.

Re: Retro Freak Gear Converter Announced

Yea, pretty much. If it were included with the deluxe edition I might be down to spend a few more bucks, but this is quite steep. I'll admit however, if they come out with an N64 port in the future.. I'd pay whatever the hell they ask.

Re: Codemasters Game Genie on Retron 5?

Likely if you tested it, only the Game Genie rom would dump and the game attached would be unplayable. This is sorta how the Retron 5 works.

I've made some adjustments to the account creation process and blacklisted a number of unsavoury ip blocks, so hopefully that holds back the tide for a little bit until I can get a closer look at how they're getting through. Feel free to PM me directly if there's another huge wave of nonsense posts ...
