    I might get one of these retroduos...the black and red one is very sexy and buy.com has them for 34.99 which is pretty cheap since you get 2 systems. Granted I will probably get the real deal NES and a SNES in the future, this is will be fine for now. Plus then I dont have to worry about getting a NES that has a crappy PIN connector and I can just have that be for show and use this for games.

    One thing I don't like about this is the lack of NES controller inputs. I mean is that so hard? just have the 2 SNES ports on one side and the 2 NES ones on the other. Then I can play with the Zapper and NES Advantage

    I would have gotten a replacement but they had none left and wouldnt for about a month so I decided to use the money and get another elsewhere.

    I got another Retro Duo off of eBay today and...

    Its also partially split in half. Same problems with my big tv as before but fine image on the others... The split in half thing makes me want to cry.

    Split in half? Is the image scrolling up the screen then splitting and each half going off opposite sides of the screen? That's the probelm I had with my stero receiver, since it does 720p upscaling. You simply can't apply modern filters and scalers to a 240p signal or whatever it's outputting.

    If that's not it, then try the same system on an analog CRT. If it still has problems, then something's up with QC at Innex.

    I really wanted to use my RD as my main NES/SNES machine on my big LCD, but the scaling problems just didn't make it possible. I DID notice the weird improvements when I plugged in both S-Video and composite at the same time, but I ended up getting a CRT TV and using my original NES and SNES instead. I still love my RD, and it's in my bedroom now as a spare.

    It's pretty good as a spare, all things considered.

    I tried to plug the RetroDuo into the rear inputs of the HDTV instead of the side ones and voila, it works fine. Aside from the plastic quality fail, it works beautifully now!

    Composite AV and s-video cables are included. There is no RF output.

    I just got back from a party, which I took my RetroDuo to. While we were waiting for everyone to arrive, I started playing Mega Man 2, which I finished by the time everyone was there. From there, it was Mega Man Soccer and collaborative/alternating rounds of Super Mario World. In between, we got a hell of a laugh from Sesame Street 123, which I brought as a joke. One guy actually played it for a bit o_O.

    To complement the quality of my particular unit, the whole thing DROPPED OFF THE SHELF and hit the tile floor. This did not affect our game of Mega Man Soccer.

    Lucky. The two units I have had both came apart when I touched them.

    What I wonder is if you (or can) plug in a Super Scope, does it work on NES Zapper games? Becuase THAT would be awesome!

    I have heard that the superscope does not work with NES lightgun games on the retro duo.

    Just wanted to point out that I tested my PowerPak with the RetroDuo and .... it does NOT work at all.

    However, my PowerPAk is working perfectly with both NES 1 and NES 2.

    One thing I noticed with the RetroDuo is that the controller are really great. The FC Twin's controllers were just crap but these ones are comfortable and usable.

    Did you do anything to fix the godawful D-pad? If it weren't for those things, I might actually use them... The buttons are acceptable, I just can't stand that pad.

    I also have headaches with the Retro Duo's Y=B and B =A Control scheme, is there a way to fix that? Or do I need to make a NES Dongle? It actually hurts my right hand.

    Why don't you like Y=B and B=A? That's the right order. Since A is usually the jump button in most games, shouldn't it be to the right and down a bit?
    Good news, cigarette juice!
