Have any of you guys heard anything about a RetroDuo v3.0? I keep seeing things about it on the Internet, but no concrete evidence of its existence. Could someone check if it truly does exist and if so, what's changed between the RetroDuo v2.0 and the RetroDuo v3.0?
EDIT: Well, I've partially answered my own question - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcbnWDk99QY
The RetroDuo v3.0 DOES exist, and the differences I can see right off the bat are the following:
1) The boxart is completely changed
2) The RetroDuo's logo has changed
3) The controllers no longer have a high-gloss finish, but rather a matte finish
I'm gonna keep looking around for some more information on this version of the RetroDuo.
EDIT 2: Oh hell no - www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhJjLoAFxZc
THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIXED THE ABSOLUTELY HORRID NES AUDIO!!!! Are you f***ing kidding me?!

Well seeing with the NES Game Genie by hitting reset, you just reset the Game
On the SNES Game Genie, you could enter the code by reseting the Game..you have to turn the system off for the NES part
TKO - I though you alreay know this.....
When are they going to improve the stupid d-pads?
NES audio on a clone is never going to be perfect. I'm okay with mine. It's not as clean or crisp as the real thing, but it's darn close.
It's not bad for a clone controller. I can play Street Fighter II Turbo with it and not miss many inputs.
I mean will The Action Gamemaster (Genesis) Side will work with the Retro Duo and the Super NES
Also will The Action Gamemaster (Genesis) work with Virtua Racing, Power Base Converter for Master System Games??
What is Action Gamemaster (Genesis)? Do you mean Genesis-On-A-Chip cartridge adapter for SFC? If so I planned to order two of them, will see if the Retro Duo is compatible with them or not. Although , from what I gather at this point , the compatibility of the adapters themself are kinda lame.
It's for the RDP.Old_Skool_Fool told me not to post it there....
It's for the Retro Duo Portable..
I'm trying to get answers if the Adapter would work in the Retro Duo and the SNES
Hey everybody,
So I'm finally ready to take the dive and by a famiclone... I'm just starting to worry about my toploader's longevity. I know back in the day the RetroDuo sort of ruled the world, can anybody update me on how it's holding up against the competition in 2011?
Thanks!
The Retro Duo continues to be one of the better Famiclones out there with a strong SNES support as well. I would recommend checking out my NES/Famicom Starter Guide that I wrote for people like you in mind. This goes over the strengths and weaknesses of a great many options to help you choose what's best for you.

Edit;Sorry wrong thread.
I have a RetroDuo v.3 and NES games via the s-video connection are not very good. I wasnt expecting it to be good or even work really so its no big deal but I'm curious if it is the same thing with prior versions of the retroduo?
That's because the NES/Famicom and NOAC clones of it are all INCAPABLE OF PRODUCING S-VIDEO. What you're getting is a distorted composite signal being routed through the S-Video Luma line. How that gets visualized differs from tv to tv. It may appear fuzzy, dark, or not appear at all. When you want to play NES games on the RetroDuo, disconnect the S-video signal and use the composite lines. This will produce a cleaner image.

Right, thats why I really wasnt expecting it to work at all (I didnt realize they were even dumping the composite into the svid luminance). I was just curious if they did the same thing on the prior models.
yes they did.
