It’s nice sometimes to go back to some old favorite games once in a while, but how do you choose to play them. You can play them on emulators, but that’s not always legal. Although if you still have the carts with no system there is a perfectly legal way to play with an emulator.
The Retrode 2 plugs into your PC or Mac and has the capability to read the rom on SNES and Genesis carts and use an emulator to play the game. It also has SNES and Genesis controller ports so you can play games as they were intended. You can preorder now from Stone Age Gamer for only $84.99.
The easier and cheaper option is to get either a Retron 3 for about half the price that can actually play SNES, Genesis, and NES games or go to your local game retailer and buy the console you want used.
I’ll grant that the Retrode 2 is a great idea, but in practice is really superfluous.
