Up for sale
is a brand new, factory sealed Retrode 2. Inside you will find the Retrode base unit, user manual, and a USB cable.
This listing is for the base
unit which supports SNES and Genesis games. If you need support for
Nintendo 64, Gameboy, or Sega Master System, visit the links below to
purchase the adapters from my other listings.
One of the most valuable features of this device (in my opinion) is that it allows you to back up the save files on your physical cartridges.
This is the easiest method for transferring save files or creating ROM
dumps. When you connect it to your computer, it functions similarly to a
flash drive where you can drag and drop your save files back and forth
and create ROMs on your computer directly from your cartridge. Backing
up your saves is important in case you want to save them forever, or if
you want to swap out the battery in your cartridge. Most of those
batteries were manufactured in the early 90's so their lifespans are
quickly coming to an end. I was able to back up mine at the end of last year.
I'm not sure how much longer they would've lasted but I feel relieved
to have my childhood saves intact.
Features:
- You can extract the save files from your cartridges
- You can inject save files from emulators (NOT save-states) onto your cartridges
- You can dump your Super Nintendo / Super Famicom or Sega Genesis / Mega Drive cartridges into ROMs to back them up legally
-
2 Super Nintendo controller ports and 2 Genesis controller ports
built-in and you can play directly from the cartridge using an emulator
using these controller ports
-
Expandable to work with other systems like the Nintendo 64 and Game Boy
using adapters (see my other listings to purchase the expansion
adapters)
