    The law of non-contradiction and these two statements can't be harmonized without some explanation:

    What is your evidence to that conclusion? Do you have some information the rest of us don't?

    Why would they tell him specifically that it wasn't emu-based, but chip-based, then turn around again and say it was emu-based before it even releases?

    Strange marketing, or someone who doesn't really know...

    Also, think he knows a little more due to his 4 in 1 kickstarter involving retron 4s.

    Maybe it will use emulation for some systems and chips for the others.

    Pikointeractive, is your claim that the Retorn4 will either be chip based or emulation based mere speculation or do you actually have access to information Hyperkin hasn't publicly unveiled yet?

    Because if you're only speculating, claiming that it WILL or it WON'T do anything at this point is completely meaningless and misleading.

    Chill out guys,

    That's why I came back to re-instate what I had said, no need to jump on judgement.


    Just an answer from one contact, then confirmation from another contact of higher hierarchy.


    I got video to post on the kickstarter but is is just digital video recorded from the output signal, not the actual console working on a HD TV.

    and the whole menu for the Retron4 is not even used yet.

    Any new news on the RetroN4 or is Hyperkin still keeping hush-hush about it?

    About the controllers, all I've heard confirmed was that it has wireless ones included, but no confirmation of being compatible with original controllers. Anyone heard different?

    If I can't use original controllers and it has poor emulation or the same problems past clone hardware has, I see myself skipping this and spending the extra $10 on an Ouya.

    The biggest point to me is using the original controllers. If I can't use my original MD or SNES pads on either, why choose an inferior gaming experience just because it accepts real carts? I prefer to emulate on my PSP versus using that shitty portable MD clone for the very same reason.

The only advantage I see to the top loader is the 72 pin connector on the board, which would be less prone to breakage. Then again, I have enough 001s to never have to worry about broken parts.
    I think Japanese toploaders are still quite cheap, even boxed in great shape. Possibly less than $100 (splitting the difference between $70 and $150; don't remember).

    I wouldn't ever spend money on a toploader NES...not to keep, anyway.

    And for those of you who aren't in the know, Tofu is our direct liaison with Hyperkin.

    So, yes.

    Bullshit OFFICIALLY called.

    Stop feeding the troll.

    Add me to the didn't know list. He maybe late to the party, but he just buried anyones doubt on that moron. I'd love to get some more real information on this. I'm no fan of clones, but that said I do enjoy the Supaboy v2 a lot.

    If he could pass it on, they need to fix that d-pad on it so it responds right and I did it on mine with a teeny piece of plastic I sanded to fit.

    Feel free to PM Tofu the link to your thread with your mod. He does work directly with the design people.

    If this thing has decent Nes audio I will pick one up. I'm a very happy retro duo owner even with the bad audio but they never came out with a zapper.

    Was GBA that popular of a system where they would add a slot just for it?

    This piece of crap is still being discussed? I thought my advance preview was sufficient warning. I've looked at the data. I've analyzed the results, and this thing is complete junk. But I guess all you zombie lemmings are dead set on throwing your money away on Hyperscam's chinese trash products.

    I'm always amazed at the idiots out there. When some bullsh*t self declared gaming expert hypes up a predictably retarded new product...then all his no life loyal followers jump on his nuts and waste their money on a stupid ass product. Well...go ahead and throw your money away you lemmings.

    thank you.

    Yes. MyTurnToPlay's posts need to be deleted and and his account banned. Dude I've given you the benefit of the doubt. You don't like clones? Fine. But you keep making posts filled with lies.

    So, technically speaking, do clones count as a system, 'cause if they do perhaps someone should read MyTurnToPlay the last rites.
