RetroDuo NES/SNES Clone Official Thread. Castlevania III, StarFox WORK, SMRPG WARNING

[remowilliams]

Also,there is a static problem with the Black plastic shell color,kind of like what the PS3 suffers of, it will be full of dust in a matter of seconds+mine came all scratched when new,while in the white model you can't really tell as much.

Yeah, same issue here. I coated the thing with Novus plastic polish and it does help quite a bit though.

So after some more playing around with the RetroDuo, here are some more observations:

- My Tototek SNES flash cart works just fine with it
- PowerPak sram load/save works fine
- I have a Super Mario World cart that does not boot at all on the RD. Oddly enough if attached to a Game Genie, it works fine
- My Rolling Thunder cart will not boot/run properly on the RD, but the same game loaded from the PowerPak works fine
- My Dragon Warrior cart will not boot on the RD, but will work fine if attached to the NES Game Genie

Overall I am very pleased with the RD. It does seem to have some odd sound issues that the Yobo/FC didn't have, but the NES compatibility overall is better.

I've had extensive experience with other clones such as the NEX, Yobos, FCTwin, Blade, Power, etc. and though still imperfect, I proclaim the RD King of the Nintendo Clones!

Well, turns out the shipper I ordered from on Amazon is out of black ones, so it looks like I'm getting a white one (they described it as Retro Duo (blue)).

I hate sellers that post out of stock items...

Yeah, I think it is probably an issue with the specific cart/connectors that isn't mating quite right with the RetroDuo, and that the GGs alleviate it.

I'd still like to know why Rolling Thunder carts have been reported as not working (mine too) but I can play it from the PowerPak just fine.

Might have something to do with the hardware or pins on the Tengen cart.
