The Amazon reviews say it doesn’t emulate sound very accurately. Who do I believe…

well it’s an emulator….so yeah it’s not going to be as good as the real thing. Why you’d bother getting these emu-systems is beyond me when it’s pretty easy getting an old nes.

Heh, mine came last week.
I got it mostly for the SNES side, though, as I have an operable NES. The NES sound is in fact pretty poorly emulated on the RD, and I like to think I’m not overly picky about such things. It kind of sounds like the TV speaker is covered with about three layers of plastic wrap. That’s the best way I can describe it.
The SNES side runs great. I haven’t noticed any glaring emulation issues.
Now I’m just waitin’ for my PowerPak to come.

Yeah i dont think they’re a bad idea especially if it gets people interested in classic gaming.

i hope that this will rebuild 8 and 16 bit gaming

it AIN’T AN EMULATOR!!! it uses the same software as the snes and nes! read about it a little more. god forbid you guys go BLIND trying to read about and listen to the video instead of COMPLANING and GOSSIPING like 12 year old pubesent little girls.

November 16th, 2009 at 3:57 pm

this is the best famiclone an nes would cost 100,and an snes would cost 100 for a new one this is 40 and plays all of them what a deal

Im sad that mine broke. but it lasted a long time and it was really awesome. even though i have a nes and snes, i would gladly buy another one if someone offered it to me.

December 14th, 2009 at 2:39 am

what caused your system to break? over-heatting or another issue?

December 22nd, 2009 at 5:57 am
Should I get this or the FC twin?
December 24th, 2009 at 3:20 am
I love the heavy breathing by the camera guy
December 26th, 2009 at 2:07 am
whenever I turn my retro duo on, the who screen just goes white, does anyone know what’s going on?
Thanks in advance

Does the system work with european NES-games?
January 23rd, 2010 at 2:56 am
i have some other questions- is the 8-bit a tight fit, are the pins tightly packed? (most NES systems meet get screwed up by the pins warping out of place especially the 8bit “toaster push” design)
As well, can you try out Paperboy and Battle toads (8-bit pain in the ass games that just so happen to run into play problems on both duo and fc twin- reportedly)

your game just needs a good blowing or cleaning. that happens occasionally to me…cleaning helps

Please someone help me out. yay finally picked up a retro Duo, its kinda stupid to ask now but i also picked up a few NES games. No SNES games yet. If I used a controller that cme with the Rettro Duo, could I use them with NES games? Do I need to buy a normal NES controller? Can I plug in the NES controll into the Retro Duo thnx plz help.
