    Question Questions for Retron3 owners!

    I am aware of the current Retron3 threads however I am planning my own review of the unit and as I want to be accurate I need the correct answers asap!

    Just received my Retron3, as my expectations were not high I am happy over all. I have 2 questions however. Please help me!

    1. On the back of the unit between the Svideo and Composite AV out if a switch labeled "O/J" and for the life of me I cannot figure what this does if anything?

    2. There is a little LED to the right of each cartridge slot, yet they do not appear to function. I expected them to light when powered on or a cartridge is inserted or even switching between cartridges but nothing I seems to do causes these to display. First I thought the console was not receiving power but the games load up fine. IS THIS NORMAL or is my unit defective?

    Thank you for your help!

    Here is my unboxing of the unit that I wish to follow with a detailed review THANKS SO MUCH!

    If the Retron 3 hardware is the same as any other Genesis clone, the O/J switch is to change the system "region" from Original Region (in this case US) to Japan for the Genesis/MegaDrive cartridges that may require it.
