Where did you get yours? Do you have a reliable vendor for these?

Regards,

I got mine off eBay. The seller shipped it quickly and inexpensively and packed it well (though they sent me the wrong color).

Last time I checked they appeared to have a few left...and they don't seem to be in shortage if you do an eBay search for "RetroDuo".

Thanks for the review Frankie! This looks like a winner to me!

Does the Retro Duo play Famicom & Super Famicom games as well? If not, have you tried a Honey Bee Converter for Famicom?

Wow! I think that re/black scheme is nice! Good way to combine systems.
Strangely for some weird reason I like the idea of playing original games on real hardware but anything other than the original hardware, of course I just like to be different as it's a good conversation starter!

It plays them with a Honeybee converter.

As I stated in my review and showed in the video, the multicart I have gave me a bit of trouble on the menu screen (it looked like it was displaying in PAL on an NTSC set) but once I got to the actual ROMS it was fine.

I also tested Famicom copies (all HK pirates I think) of single game carts - F1 Race, Super Baby (?), and Super Mario 2 JAP with the adapter and they worked fine.

Hey Frankie, solid review man. Does the SNES slot have the american "tabs" that prevent you from playing Super Famicom/Euro SNES games?

I'm not sure how else to word it, and if you're not sure what I mean, taking pictures of the open SNES slot would answer well enough, whichever is easier.

Thanks, and congrats on a good purchase!

Reporting from the frontlines of the DP Store, Frankie says that you are able to play any import SNES no problem. You do not need to file down any tabs, it works perfectly.

There's some nice evidence of non-US SFC game in one. I see no tabs in mine that would otherwise block that type of action.
