Hey GAC, where are your repros from you tested? I got an Earthbound Zero from Dave that he made, and I'm looking into gettting a "blinkless" NES device to play it on...
How do the PAL games work on this, anyway? No rolling screens?

We did some testing (on video for posterity) of a bunch of games at the NAVA meeting, I need to cut the videos together to fit on one or two YouTube spots, but here's the rundown of what we found :
Gauntlet for NES (the black unlicensed Tengen version) works fine. MYTH BUSTED!
Rolling Thunder for NES (also black, unlicensed Tengen version) does not boot on the Duo.
A TON of other strange unlicensed stuff and random NES cartridges worked GREAT, including but not limited to : Quattro Adventure, Chiller, Sunday Funday, Bible Adventures, Star Tropics 1 & 2, Pacmania, Klax, The Adventures of Bayou Billy, Batman

"And the book says: 'We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us.'"
I can't wait to buy one, I just need to find out if MegaMan X2 or X3 works on it. Impressive that Stunt Race FX works however
These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!
just got mine today, megaman x-2 works fine... cant seem to get my NES game genie to work on it though >:/ i think its an issue with the PCB thickness or some crap like that cause i got it to show up for like half a second when i was fiddling around with it (all my other NES carts work so i doubt its the slot)Originally Posted by MegaDrive20XX

The NES "Game Genie" does work with the Retro Duo system, although it requires a good inserting push to get in there.....
BTW, for those that were wondering, the SNES game "THE LEGEND OF THE MYSTICAL NINJA" does work with the RDuo.....But it takes a couple of seconds for the "KONAMI" screen game logo to appear.....Many KONAMI games among others, do the same thing in the Original Super nintendo system....This is normal......keep this in mind!...

Has anybody else noticed the other few minor-no big deal flaws that the Retro Duo has?.....For example, the manual states that the 8-bit indicator lights up red when playing an 8-bit NES game and the 16-bit lights up green when playing an SNES 16-bit game, while this is to totally the opposite way...
And if you turn on the NES side with a game and without a controller plugged in.....The RDuo goes ballistic on its own....

Super Castlevania IV should work
I almost returned my copy of Super Castlevania IV, because I was getting the black screen. But when I took it back, the store owner put it in his FC Twin, and it worked. So, I took it back home. Turns out, the game just takes a long time to boot. It's Konami, like someone else said before. Try waiting a little longer for it to boot before you turn it off. Hope this helps.
PS. Any new experiences with SA lockout games? Anyone?
I got mine from Dave as well, it should work.

Good to hear!
So where's the best place to score one of these? Maybe some of the shops in madison would have some, hmm.
