Powerpak work with Retro Duo?
Does the powerpak from retrousb.com work on a Retro Duo? If it does, I don't just want your word for it, I want you to actually post a video of it doing so on youtube for everyone to see because it would make this thing worth the money for me because my original NES doesn't work all that well.

It fails to work with clone systems for 1 of 2 reasons-Originally Posted by Joe_Cracker
1) the clone hardware is incompatible for the same reasons that other games are incompatible
2) they intentionally designed it not to work with clone hardware.
Unortunately it costs too much for me to ever consider purchasing one.
The website specifically says it's not compatible with clones. If it works for some people, great, but i wouldn't rely on it.
How much is a NES deck? Geez.
<Sothy> its the internet <Sothy> who cares
Okay, I am REALLY getting sick of this attitude.
Know how much I'd pay for a vintage NES at the only game store in my area that stocks them?
$60 for a frontloader, $100 for a crappy TF-only toploader. Neither of which would be in any guaranted condition. Either of which is too much money. I'd rather emulate the system for those prices.
Not everyone has access to thrift stores or decent garage sales, especially when you're in a redneck area.
There's always the internet, you know. I'm sure you can find a reasonably priced deck either here one of the multiple auction sites.
RIP bargora, you will be greatly missed.That is how we do things on Giedion Prime.
But the same store sells a RetroDuo for less then $60? 'Cause that's what we're talking about here.
I've never seen a store sell a RetroDuo for less then a front loader. If you're going online to get the RetroDuo for cheaper, you could still get the front loader for even less. I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Emulation is cheaper? Well, no duh. But you cant emulate the powerpak, so you're still completely off.
I've heard people say that it does but I was never able to get it working with mine. So, it's probably a crapshoot (like ProgrammingAce says) whether you would be able to get it to do so.
Oh yeah? read this: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=128749
Ok, i read it. What am i supposed to see? It works for some people, but not others. NOACs aren't all that compatible with the NES's PPU (The Graphics processor). It's kind of a crapshoot.
I can understand WHY he wants to make triple sure this thing's going to work. At $130, I'd want a full 100% guarante of it being functional, too.
