ATTENTION RETRO DUO OWNERS!
I'm the owner of 3 Retro Duo systems...each have a different revision made to their motherboard....I've found a major flop in one of them(only in the 16 bit SNES side,the NES side runs on its own)...At the beggining I wasn't sure until I did further testing...One of my Retro Duo's(white model) while playing it,I noticed that the sound was horribly off and distorded,including the sound effects that some games produce.Every game sounded as if it was running so slow compared to the original SNES or the other Retro Duo's sounds....tooked a closer look at the guts of the system,did my algebra and voila!...Found the problem...It seems that at some point the en-sambling factory ran out of parts and decided to replace with others instead...Again this problem may be with some revisions ONLY...So,if you think that you may have this issue with your Retro Duo,I'm currently writing a tutorial on "how to do it yourself fix" that I will be posting at my site,especially if your guarantee has expired and there is no way to return it....But it is essential for me to find on how many systems with this problem could be out there.....Please let me know if possible....
By the way,I found other problems regarding the ribbon cables of the Retro Duo,they have the tendency to break easily,so if your composite video,audio,s-video or even power has gone from your RetroDuo,is more likely a failure with a ribbon cable,an Easy fix but it can be a pain!...I'll try to write another repair tutorial for this as well....Don't give me wrong I still love my RDuo's but I'm trying to recognise the problems before they pop up on me!
