Great overview. It is nice to see that there are affordable options for anyone just thinking about getting into the hobby. I think sometimes people forget it's about playing and enjoying games and there really is no wrong answer to how you do it. However, a good experience over a poor one makes the difference. For eighty bills, I think you have a good one here.
100% There is no right or wrong way. That’s all that matters is playing and enjoying games. Thanks for watching and for the well thought out comment.
Super Metroid has such a great soundtrack. It really lends itself well to the creepy aura of the game.
I agree dude! It’s one of the first games that really made me feel isolated and in danger. Such an awesome game!
Looks good dude! Good option to game on the cheap. Nice game choices by the way!
Thanks for watching! It’s a pretty cool little console especially for the price.
This looks super cool! Excellent review 👍
Thanks for watching and for the kind comments. Have a great Sunday my friend!
Awesome review! Might be a silly question since I’m new to this but am I able to sync wireless controllers? Thanks!!
Yes you can and it’s not a silly question at all. I have been using my Genesis wireless controller with it and it works great
Great, thank you 😊
Thanks for showcasing these. I’ve been wanting to pick up one of these but, the Retron was kind of a hit or miss and I’m halfway happy with my Retron SQ
I’m pretty impressed with it especially for the price. Thanks for watching man.
hi do the mega everdrive come with the games installed?
Mine did but I got it used off of eBay. If it’s new you have to add the roms
@ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom thank you. I got the retrobit trio coming and a retron 5. I hope home brew games work on the retrobit because they don't work on the retron
@ Good news is they do!
@@ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom thanks i can't wait. i will be streaming tons of games. lol
It would be more tempting for me if they added a Sega Master System cartridge slot although I know very basic Master System to Genesis cartridge adaptors exist that should theoretically let you play Master System cartridge games on this thing. (I'm not talking about the big 1st party Sega Master System to Genesis peripheral from back in the day, I know that wouldn't fit on this, just a basic pass-through adapter that isn't wider than a Genesis cartridge.)
Really good point. They do make different modern day adapters but I don’t own one myself so I can’t test that. Theoretically as long as the adapter will fit it should work. Excellent point and I appreciate the comment.
Looking good overall! How was the lag though? That can sometimes be the make or break element of these machines. I’m assuming by now they pretty much have that reduced down to a non-factor, but you never know!
I absolutely agree that can be a deal breaker but happy to say it’s not a factor. I didn’t notice it at all.
Where do you find most of your game cartridges?
All kind of places including eBay, pawnshops, facebook marketplace, retro stores and my trade group. Thanks for watching
Does this also play the mega drive games?
Yes it does
@@ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom Thank You.
Visually everything looked great. Did you ever have a chance to test it with Street Fighter 2 or Mortal Kombat to see how well the controller responds?
I have and they worked very well. I didn’t notice any input lag. Thanks for watching brother!
have untryed the everdrive n8?be neat id this worked on here.
I don’t have one unfortunately but I’ve heard it doesn’t work. Thanks for watching!
i disnt know if the this revison would.
Where did you purchase this Super Retro Trio Plus with an aspect ratio switch?
www.ebay.com/itm/112758908552?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=nqrU4v3IQmS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=wRJGkWdoRnm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Thank you!
How well does this play SNES super fx games like starfox and doom?
It plays Stunt Race FX perfectly
@@ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom Is that a super fx 1 or 2 chip?
can it play lightgun games?
Not on a HDTV but it can connected to a crt through AV cables.
@@ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom yes i understand that, just wondering if the aim is off or something when playing on CRT, dont see any reviews playing Duck Hunt with the zapper to know for sure, but thanks for the reply, maybe ill trade someone for this console one day, looks like a space saver.
@gotbletu nope it works great. I confirmed it on my CRT. Works perfect. 👍
@@ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom cool, thanks for the confirm
@gotbletu you’re welcome!
Is it worth buying
It’s been worth it for me.
Where did you find the version that lets you switch from 4:3 to Fullscreen? All the ones I find online don't seem to have it.
I got it off of eBay.
have u tryed gauntlet nes?
Yes and it works
@ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom u should do a follow up video..inluv too see what games work n dont.
Hello! How does it look when played through the AV cable on a CRT TV? Is the image output just like the original console?
I would love to try it since I have an old CRT that's perfect for retro games but having HDMI output is very nice too.
As long as this outputs to the original resolution and doesn't have noticeable input lag when used on a CRT TV, I would be fine getting it
It looks great on the CRT and I haven’t noticed any input lag. The output image looks great and has a strong signal. I can’t tell the difference on the crt
@@ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom Awesome! Do you know by chance if Yoshi's Island for the SNES works fine on this console?
@@EliasYFGM unfortunately I don't don't own that one so I can't confirm.
Update: I just got this console and it looks really nice (just like in the video). It also has the switch for 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio so that's great. The only thing that I wasn't aware of is that it doesn't include the AV cable, only the HDMI, but that's okay because I already had a backup one so I can test it on a CRT TV.
The game I ordered still hasn't arrived yet, but I will comment on that soon.
@@EliasYFGM Awesome! Thanks for the update. Good point on the AV cables. Looking forward to your next update
Looks like a successful test to me! You definitely hit the notoriously problematic stuff!
Yeah it’s a pretty good clone console for sure.
Yes the consolel
Thanks for watching!
