I got my Retrode today– and its awesome ^_^;
Fired up my whole collection (except Super Mario RPG & Star Ocean, since the chips don’t work)– and I rescued copies of all of my remaining saves before a dead battery eventually killed them.
The Retrode is especially awesome to me because after I rescued copies of my saves, I was able to put them on my SNES Powerpak cart which does not use a battery. That lets me still play the games with my saves on the real console w/o worrying about save game loss– several carts of mine have lost saves at times before already, so I was glad to rescue all my remaining saves. Epic deal.
I did experience Issues with two games from my collection though– I did not see them on the compatibility list so I’ll note for reference:
Illusion of Gaia (NTSC-U) – Game boots fine but I don’t get the SRAM correctly on the Retrode. If I read the SRAM on the Retrode it shows me as having no saves. If I put the cart back in the real SNES console, my saves are there. The game boots fine on the Retrode and checksum passes.
Tales of Phantasia (NTSC-J) – I could not get this one to boot. It would always say bad checksum and hang. Tried multiple times, no luck.
Thanks so much for the Retrode– its awesome!
Keep up the great work– looking forward to plugins, and especially and SRAM support that can be offered to them. I’d like to rescue saves for other things getting old too, before hours of hard work die with batteries.
Picked mine up fromt he Post Office today. Have had the chance to fire mine up yet, but I’m very impressed with the form and finish. Totally professional.
The gp2x shop claims that it has 82 in stock… I’ll wait for the mailing list thing to come through, though.
Have you shipped any info to the mailing list yet regarding retrode.com?(had some filter issues, want to make sure I didn’t miss anything since I hadn’t seen a December update)
Either way, call me excited :)
I haven’t received any information about that, and none in my spam folder either.
Are there confirmation emails going out with tracking info? Not that it’s a big deal, I’d just like to know if I’m going to be surprised with a package at some point.
Hi,
No e-mail has gone out yet. I’m still in the process of setting up the fulfilment pipeline and the information management that comes with it. I hope to be able to send out tracking numbers for future orders but this time it would probably take me longer than for the shipments to arrive :)
Cheers,
Matthias
Not a problem, I see you answered that in the newsletter I hadn’t yet received. Up to this point, I haven’t had any trouble with my orders, so I’d expect this to be no different.
received mine today! wow – a masterpiece of engineering; I just love it, the casing is sooooo cool!
thank you so much for all your effort on this
What’s the Firmware thats on my pre-ordered Retrode 2? I couldn’t found any clue.
0.17b – i.e., your Retrode is up to date.
Thanks for the info & thanks for shipping my pre-ordered Retrode 2 so fast. I got it at December, 28th and it’s the best xmas gift since 1992 (which was my beloved Master System II, which is still fuctional and played once in a while).
Woo! Best. Christmas. Present. Ever.
Finally got hold of mine today, it looks lovely, can’t wait to get it home and have a play with it :)
Very excited to see this happening. Glad I checked in.
OMG! I can’t wait for my pre-order :-D
What a great present for my birthday … Thank you very much :)
