retro duo/retro 3in1

[dra600n]

Any experience with these? I'm thinking about getting one off of fleabay since I need an original NES of some sort, but figured, why not pay the same price and get a combo unit? The thing that I like about the retro 3 in 1 is that it has wireless controllers. Best.Thing.Ever. Anyways, what are your thoughts?

Also, as a separate question - do these play imports? Or do they need to be modified to play imports?

For the Retron 3 in 1, The SNES and Genesis side of things play imports for the most part, and you'll just need a converter to play Famicom games, but the wireless controllers are garbage, they run off infra-red like your TV remote, not a RF wireless signal like most mid range wireless controllers.

Also, like all clone systems compatibility is a mixed bag, don't expect all of your favorite games to work or work perfectly.

When asked about "good" clone systems, I always recommend the Retro Duo, in my opinion it's still the best clone system on the market and we've reviewed the hell out of it here:

They do not support game genie's.

The RetroDuo is good for NTSC games but not PAL. RetroDuo only works with about 2/3 of my PAL games, and I have quite a few (about 60 or so).
