Hyperkin Retron 77: Hd Gaming Console For 2600

Atendeu todas as espectativas rodou os cartuchos e roms

the quality is very good. sturdy and firm with some weight. the cartridge's load frontside (unlike the original Atari!) that shows the game label. also the joystick connectors are in front and useful. it has a great option and it is saving the games that was not possible on original Atari 2600. totally recommended if you have Atari 2600 game cartridges and want to retro play with digital and smooth quality.

Excellent device and fond memories of Atari games

I purchased the black Retron 77 with a single classic joystick and one stick/paddle controller. Out of the box it worked fine and has several lame homebrew games installed on the micro SD card. I popped a cartridge into the unit and that worked well too. After I confirmed everything was working fine, I updated the firmware and that's when this system got much better. After updating... it no longer limits how many roms you can add. It also gives you menus to fine-tune everything just how you want it. You can find step by step instructions on you tube how to use your PC to update the sd card. I was looking for something to replace my Atari that I've had since 1981... mainly because I want an HD picture and dont always feel like switching cartridges. I do have stella on my pc but I wanted a physical system that's quick and can be taken anywhere. This is definitely a great replacement for an old system... and since it holds unlimited roms you really dont need the cartridge feature but it's nice to have the option anyway. My only complaint is while the controllers do have 10 ft cords which is awesome... all the BUTTONS you need to select and reset games are ON THE UNIT. So you basically have to either keep walking across the room or keep the unit right next to you, but that's how the old video game systems were, so that's fine. Controllers are responsive and the paddle is pretty decent although it is small and it's difficult to do a complete twist from point A to Z but it works well enough. I believe you can also hook up original atari joystick and paddles if you want to though I havent tried yet. So is it worth $100 for a retron 77 with 2 controllers? I dont know. There are alot of options out there... Atari flashback by at-games seems to be a good option also and they even have models with wireless controllers... original type paddles... though not all of them have a memory card option to add games so I would be careful which model of flashback you choose. I think the best choice would be to spend a little more and purchase a retropie which emulates every game system all in one unit. If you're super nostalgic for classic atari then the Retron 77 is really cool and I do recommend it, but be sure and upgrade that firmware.

Después de muchas dudas, por alguna mala opinión, me hice con una unidad para probar.. y ha resultado fiable, ningún problema. Cumple su función y el feeling es bueno (incluso el joystick está bien)
