However, I have few motivations for why I'd consider a purchase. My games run perfectly fine on actual hardware (using CRT via analog video). Also, I am aware of patching on the Retron 5 with an SD card, but that's not the route I want to take right now (even though admittedly it would be easier).I'm actually interested in this console but I don't normally use or like using emulators. Any other information on physical copies of ROM hacks- like English translations of the NES and SNES Final Fantasy games, or New Super Mario Land- is absolutely welcome as I would love to expand my collection, but only if I can play them. I think it would be cool to actually surprise him one day with it.

Some compatibility lists say that they do, while others say they don't, and even some listings on Ebay or other online stores say they won't work on clone systems.ĭoes anyone here have any recent first hand experience in regards to ROM hacks, reproductions, and the like? Specifically The Legend of Zelda: Parallel Worlds, as my brother wants to play it with me, but I jokingly tell him that I don't have the physical cartridge. I've been interested in buying them, but always hesitate as I'm unsure if they'll work on my Retron 5. I've known of the existence of ROM hacks forever, but have recently found out about physical cartridges of these games. With the purchase of the Retron 5 over a year ago, I got into collecting cartridges for all systems that it's compatible with.
