Just picked one up from Stoneagegamer.com on Black Friday and I'm pretty impressed with it. For those that don't know the Retrode 2 is a SNES/SFC and MD/Genesis USB linking device that works in conjunction with your PC and an emulator. The unit itself has 4 controller ports, two snes/sfc and two genesis/megadrive, the two cartridge slots, a reset button and a menu button.

It allows you to play physical carts on your PC. Doesn't stop there though, it also allows you to copy your ROM and save files to your computer as well as allowing you to save your game back to your cartridge. I have to admit the normal price is kind of expensive, I believe its around $97. I picked it up on Black Friday because SAG was doing 25% off and I had your standard 10% off your next purchase coupon that he often includes with orders. So with shipping I picked it up for about $51. I can honestly say it was well worth what I paid for it. Not really sure I'd be as happy with it had I paid full price though. It feels like its made of very high quality materials and so far I've had no problems with it. Anyone else use this or the original Retrode, if so how do you feel about it?

If you don't know the difference between downloading thousands of ROMs and this, then please don't waste your energy flaming this post. 🙂
