RetroN 5 Experience Poll

[treismac]

I would like to know from those who have purchased the RetroN 5 what their experiences have been with the system on a purely function standpoint. Does the system work? Does it play most games? Has yours broke? etc.

Multiple poll answer selections are permitted.

Now I have far from punished my Retron 5 system, but I can unequivocally say that it's worked quite well. The only thing that I found didn't work with it (outside of a couple of off-beat Super Famicom games) was RetroZone repros, but that was also a couple of versions ago.

I voted the second one, hope i don't have to revise that vote.

My first one SMB2 stopped being seen, GQ2 stopped booting consistently. Mailed it in and got another back.
My second was beat up externally and DOA inside. So they apologized a lot and gave me a sticker this time to mail it in to get a third.
My third one is a factory defect, wires that should be below are over the right corner of the famicom game slot cart insert, SMB2 still invisible, GQ2 was fine.

Now I'm supposedly by mgmt choice after snapping a picture and mailing it to them from my phone mailing me not a refurb but a NEW one and this time I use that box to mail the other defect back to them once it arrives.

I'm fairly well pissed off as this drama started in the last few days or so of AUGUST. Maybe by the end of the week I'll have a working unit?? Maybe because their track record has been shit so far despite how nice and helpful they've been.

Controller charge port broke off and fell inside the controller..contacted Hyperkin about it and they'd prefer that I send in console unit in addition to just the controller. I hadn't done it yet and probably won't given that the console itself is fine and the controller is garbage and I generally stick to the originals anyway.

Other than that, my experience with the Retron 5 is solid.
