Title: NTSC output
Review: The system itself is fine, I was tested it with both a PAL and NTSC cartridge, as well as a third party multicart. They all work fine although some multicarts may not be compatible with it. One thing to note is that the AV output seems to be NTSC, so while thats fine with my housemate’s modern TV that accepts both PAL and NTSC video, on my old CRT TV everything shows up in black and whiteIf you plan to buy this to play it on a CRT TV for the proper retro experience, keep in mind that you will need to find a solution for this. I haven’t tried it yet but I imagine that you need some kind of converter to turn the NTSC signal into PAL

Title: Works great
Review: A good replacement nes if you don’t want to use your OG nes .. but I did find it s spend up the frame rate on some of my games so super mario runs to fast as it’s making it run at 60 FPS then the OG runs at 50 FPS in the UK the music goes faster you will notice it right away but you get used to it

Title: Disgusting.
Review: Cheaply made, plays games at triple speed. Music and picture quality awful. Sounds like something from the 1920s.

Review: This thing is just about perfect for playing on a retro CRT. All of my games work flawlessly and I love the controller it comes with. It’s also really small and due to the too loader- more reliable. Don’t spend $100 on a beat up old NES that will require a ton of maintenance- get this.

Review: The clear picture is from hyperkin, the first time putting the game in. The glitchy one is from the Nintendo original refurbished from Dkoldies. Hyperkin works perfectly, my boy even knocked it off the stand and never stopped working. The Original Nintendo refurbished took about 15 times to start and was glitchy and can’t barely move the remote without freezing. My wife and I spent just over 200 on original console and games just to not even be able to really play because of freezing and glitches, so I took a chance on this hyperkin and I’m so glad we did. We are now enjoying our evenings like we did as kids.

Review: I recently came into possession of a CRT television and attached my Retron 3 HD to it. While I loved that system, it unfortunately would not work with the NES Zapper when connected to the TV through the analog composite video connection.I had a suspicion that it was due to the video portion of the SOC and so opted for the Retron 1 AV (non-HDMI) unit to test. This device appears to work with light guns just fine. I’ve used 2 NES Zappers and 1 Hyperkin third-party Zapper and they work perfectly.The audio reproduction is good, not great with most games sounding reasonably accurate and the occasional audio chunkiness here and there.Video is a mixed bag. While the visuals look accurately sharp and colored, there are some noticeable artifacts in some games (though admittedly, this could be due to degradation of the ancient cartridges.) I also have an issue with the image being just a bit off center. The image appears to be shifted to the right about an eighth of an inch. It just barely cuts off the right side of the screen, but it is rarely an issue and hasn’t affected gameplay and is easy to ignore, but it is an issue nonetheless.The device is compact and light, feeling a bit like a kid’s toy… which it is, but for the price, it easily meets expectations and I don’t get the feeling that it’s going to fall apart in the near future.Overall, if you need a good, inexpensive, analog solution with great hardware compatibility, then this is an excellent device.

Review: Found a copy of blaster master cheap and got the itch.. Did some looking around and find this thing.. Plugged it in and all I got was a buzzing noise and a peach screen. It didnt work at all. What a huge disappointment.
