Description

The Retrode is the world’s bestest USB adapter for vintage video games. Play your 16-bit console games on your computer/cell phone/tablet/whatnot, using your original cartridges and controllers!

What’s needed?

Game cartridges, and lots of them
Game controllers
Emulators for SNES/SFC and Genesis/Mega Drive
A computer with a USB port, running any of the above (Windows/Linux/MacOS/*NIX) - Caanoo and Pandora work fine as well.
A Retrode!

The Retrode is for you if…

you like playing legacy video games on your PC, Pandora or Caanoo and doing so legally
you want to preserve your investment in these games, even after all hardware has expired
you want to back up your game progress, e.g. before replacing the cartridge battery
you like emulator cheats, but prefer to finish the boss on the real console
you simply think it’s cool to plug huge game cartridges into a PDA or cell phone

The Retrode is not for you if… you don’t see the difference between making private backup copies of games that you own, and downloading 10,000 ROMs from the internets.
