the retro trio outputs s-video & composite. S-video gives a pretty good picture, only 2nd to RGB.

your comparison went so far above what was expected. you literally went into every detail unlike the countless other videos I watched to decide and I have to say kudos. You're awesome!

I appreciate this comparison since I was skeptical about buying a Retron 5, the only problem was that I felt like there was a bias right from the start of the video

I bought Hyperkin's SupaBoy, their portable SNES console, and my experience with that system means I will never buy another Hyperkin system ever again. I played it for about 5 minutes, then it crashed (wiping clean my Super Mario RPG save file) and wouldn't turn back on and wouldn't charge either. Terrible experience, so I'll never pick up a Retron 5.

I'm a newbie to your channel and I'm already hooked. I appreciate your technical expertise as well as your hosting style. Your video editing, even in your early videos, is also refreshingly subdued. Keep it up, sir.

Quick update for this review. The control lag for games has been reduced in the recent firmware updates.

If I may, I'd like to add some of my own experiences to what you mentioned in the video and few technical notes:

Retro-Bit FTW! Two weeks ago I thought if I should get a RetroN 5 or a Super Retro Trio, thank God for making me choose the SR3!

Hey man, love your videos, respect the Hell out of the research you do and your opinions are spot on! You and I are long lost relatives I’m sure of it!! I just recently discovered your channel and can’t wait for some new content as I’ve gone through just about all your videos. The stuff on Kickstarter type projects are hilarious and well researched. Anyhow, I just ordered a retro 3. Thanks for the review. Can’t wait to get it!!!

I always keep coming back to this video!! I still have mine but I don’t use it anymore as I have the Gamerz Tek HD consoles now!!!

Light gun games work on CRT's because CRT's refresh line by line. Flat screens refresh progressively, as in everything appears at the same time. The gun detects what part of what line is being drawn and the console tells whether or not that "pixel" is a hit or a miss at that time. It's not because the refresh is slower or faster.

WOW! Now that is how you do a review!

Holy shit! I used that teevee for PS1 game testing when I worked at Electronic Arts as a QA-drone back in the late 90s. Those door/speakers were bad-ass, and the input/output panel made connecting VCRs fast and easy (to tape bugs that the dev team couldn't reproduce/didn't believe us on) but we all wished the screens were bigger.

I have a question about the Retron 5. I understand that it rips the ROMs off the cartridges and saves them to the console's internal memory. Did all of the reliability problems you mention reoccur when playing the ripped ROMs, or are these problems exclusive to trying to play the physical cartridges on the Retron5?

Thank you, this was what I was thinking I think I need the retro trio for Christmas to solve my nes wavy lines, my snes mode 7 chip being dead, and then get a genesis in the house. Great video.
