Scrambled how?  Mgb boots requesting memory that is absent or written for another program. Do you get last the Nintendo logo? If so, press B.

Looks like four; two DMG and two GBP/GBC, but you could probably tell as much as I could. tongue

Controller looks decent, but I am most happy about the controller ports for official ones. Sadly there is only one connector of each type. Also, the included controller is bluetooth, so you should be able to connect more than one and/or other bluetooth controllers such as the WiiMote. For that, I am excite.

"Along the sides of the console, are controller ports for the SNES, Genesis, and NES, totalling 6 controller ports, allowing for users to use their original controllers. Users will also be able to use any controller they desire for any system. That means, if you want use a SNES controller to play Genesis games, the RetroN 5 will allow you to do so."

i have to admit i dont know those feels.

The feels I have are not of guilt, but of nostalgia. There is nothing more authentic than playing your childhood games on console, with a controller, In front of a TV. Yes, argue that you can map a USB game pad and hook up a video output to your TV from PC, but you are still only digitally emulating the sounds and playing with non-authentic parameters such as aspect ratio, scanlines, static and everything else that the subconscious maps memories to. I dont know about you, but I hold on to sound more than visuals.

I will point out that the gentleman who spoke in the video has no respect from me. His statements all challenged the main reasons why a person would own a console rather than emulate. Saying that they are adding filters and that playing with pixels is second to upscaling! Bastard. He has no respect for the games and feels that they illicit and wants only to benefit on the man who doesn't know how to emulate or doesn't want to. The statements that she made and his customer base conflict with each other.

I still want one, only because I believe that it will inevitably be the modder's dream. The firmware will be dumped on day one and by day two we will see emulators running of of the SD card. It is going to be great for playing all of the fan translations and ordinarily region-locked games in as close to the same parameters as playing on home console (with authentic and proprietary sound chips etc).

I look forward to it, but I dont support the companies opinions.

Could you describe your button connection please. I don't see a pull resistor and the wires go three different places.

Easy fix. Sounds like a cold solder joint...not surprising since I see NO shrink tubing.

So I watched the video before reading your post and was going to suggest the Quad CMOS Bilateral switch (4066). BUT YOU ALREADY THOUGHT OF THAT! HAHA...They will be faster, smaller, cheaper and more available to people.
