    Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts works, up until Stage 3, where the boss goes invisible (same problem on FC Twin). I haven't been able to test past that, but from what I've heard Stage 4's terrain doesn't load properly so all you can see are the sprites.

    Speaking of the Retro Duo, has anyone got Megaman X2 to run? My copy doesn't seem to, though oddly Megaman X3 does. X2 works on my RetroN3 though.

    I tried it again, and yup it works perfectly. I assumed it would. Must have been slightly dusty.

    Don't have a clone device, but I do believe Demon's Crest has copy-protection.
    IIRC, it makes one of the bosses invincible if it detects its a bootleg.
    Are the clones good enough to avoid tripping the copy protection check?

    Wow dude!!!! You opened a whole can of worms for me!!!
    I never knew there was copy protection for games back then...

    I think it kicks in if your playin a bootleg or copied game. Im not 100% though. I keep reading it wont let you beat an early boss but im not sure what boss it is...

    No. Earthbound has rthe 2x enemy encounter rate on both the Retro Duo and RetorN3.

    Well im a couple levels deep into demons crest. I still dont know what boss is suposed to be unbeatable. If any one knows please let us know.

    I looked around youtube and i guess games like super metroid, super punchout and mario allstars are supposed to have similar anti piracy. All thes games seem to play fine in the retroduo and i know they are all legit "non copied" games. I fully admit i never got through lost levels or that far in punchout though.

    With an authentic copy of the game?
    I thought that would only happen if it caught someone hacking the ROM to disable the anti-piracy "WARNING" screen. (as an authentic copy would have not have a hacked ROM, I would think it would either stop at the WARNING screen, or play normally.)

    Correct. An Authentic EarthBound searches for the security feedback NTSC hardware provides, and clones that lack it will trigger the anti-piracy measures.

    I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you asking if a Megaman & Bass repro would run on the Retro Duo? If so, then the answer is yes. I own a copy of Rockman & Fortre that runs perfectly.

    Confirms that super ghouls and ghost 3rd stage boss is invisible.

    For Demon Creast, I've been playing on flash cart without any problem.
