I guess that due to the nature of how the Retron 5 works, compilation carts don't work. I have a cart of Genjin Collection, which is Bonk's Adventure 1,2, and a minigame compilation for Game Boy. Whenever I select a game it boots to the title screen instead of loading the game I picked. I guess that it only dumps a ROM of the main menu or something.

Does anyone else know of any multiple-ROM carts, and if they don't work either?

I have a 52 in 1 famicom cart and would really like to play it on retron 5. If anybody has any info on a new update or anything that can make it work that would be sweet

I just bought 198 in 1 and 400 in 1 cool boy famicom carts. Both together were 8.95 free shipping on ali express but they dont work. Just a black screen. Any advice?

i have the 198 in 1 and 400 in 1 carts too from aliexpress. but they don't work. it always show them as "Unknown Cartridge" and when i press play i just have a white or black screen. too bad

Yeah, 'multicart' games don't really work on the Retron 5. I have about 10 or so and usually it either

a) Plays the menu, but resets if you choose a game
b) Only plays the first game listed on the menu

It plays nicer with Game Boy multicarts than NES ones, but that's about it.

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 see what happens?

Does anybody have a patch that can make 52 in 1 for famicom work?
