On this page, I am compiling a database of original games that are known to work with the Retrode. If a SNES or Genesis game is not in this list, it has just not been tested but will most likely still work. Thanks go out to [ElmarE] and [JohannesS] for lending me piles of original hardware, and to [ColdFace], [MikeP], [FelixV], [AdamW], [JonY] and [EricZ] for additional testing. Last time I checked, this list had 387 entries.
Update: As of November 18, 2010, this list is no longer being maintained. [lulemurfan] built a database where anyone will be able to enter/edit titles. School seems to be keeping him rather busy at the moment, but I am sure he will wrap this up in good time.
