I don't have anything to add but I'm just gonna show up in the comments.

Here! 🙋‍♂️ lol

[@jbug1979]

i had duck hunt as a kid in 1985. spent many late nights with my little brother and friends trying to beat each other's scores, shooting an oily-ass gun cuz we were eating tons of pizza. good times.

[@Andrew_TS]

There's a Classiq III HD with Genesis support coming out for those interested.

[@Bradaran79]

Good vid, I was thinking after the stream that you could replace that switch on the light gun with a small potentiometer to get a more precise shot instead of either barely working or straight to God mode

[@JakeSimmons]

Might just have to make my own light gun

[@keithmaryman1377]

Saw this on Amazon and wanted to see a review on it. Gonna grab one asap

[@kevinschimmel8842]

Awesome collection! That's pretty awesome for an old school gamer.

[@danandtab7463]

I like the part about trying to get Duck Hunt working lol. I was looking to replace my NES which apparently has a bad graphics chip, according to the weird symptoms, and the dude at the video game store said they don't sell NES because they're "unreliable" and suggested the Old Skool. So I got a Classic N (does NES only) and it does the job, even if Mario Bros does sound a little weird.

[@banihex]

Thanks for the info, probably picking up one today, find your video because of the circumstances. I wish it had more filtering for crt mode or something, I actually PREFER it to look muddier/ worse 😂

[@Larv6464]

I like the review and I really want one now!

[@SuPeRNinJaRed]

4:53 I'm a 16:9 chad thru & thru (mainly cuz its 69) but i also put Ranch on prime rib so....

[@BillieRC]

I need this in my life , I still have a NES and SNES but they aren’t working good anymore :(

[@michaelsegal3558]

So I guess if it doesn't work on the solo Duck Hunt cartridge I guess it doesn't work with other zapper games such as Hogan's Alley or Wild Gunman

[@lsmedrano5]

Have you tried the Analogue Super NT? I think it’s also a very good product and it’s something I’m on the lookout for considering they’re doing one last run before discontinuing it

[@JakeSimmons]

It’s interesting but not necessary for me

[@DougBandito]

They have this at my nearby gameshop

[@Kyleplier]

As I got my hands on an HD CRT, I’ve been wanting to find modern versions of NES and SNES consoles that work with cartridges. As emulation can be hit and miss. I’m also planning on getting a used PS3, as I really want to play Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. As I cannot for the life of me to get it working on the PCS3 emulator, even going into the most advanced and technical settings in the emulator. The dammed thing keeps crashing. So I kinda gave up on emulating MGS:4. It would have been nice to run MGS:4 at 4k 60Hz on my LG OLED. I grew up with NES, SNES and PS1. My first experience with Metal Gear however wasn’t actually Metal Gear Solid. It was the real Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, as a family member had a genuine MSX. My ultimate dream CRT is the one and only Sony Trinitron GDM-FW900 and has been since I saw one in the local Circuit City. My dream OLED monitor is the Corsair Xeneon Flex 45” 3449x1440@240Hz monitor. That would probably be an incredible experience to run an ultra wide 1440p at up to 240Hz and OLED to boot.

[@connorplays6263]

I've been on the fence about getting either this or the retro duo, but I think I might get this (Update: i ordered the system)

[@remyy4995]

friendly reminder to test your ips/ita kits before hand 🐱‍👓

[@danielmedrano6779]

How is the lag on the newer tvs?

[@Kyleplier]

To add from my previous comment, if you could point me in the right direction to find cartridges that have genuine copies would be great. As I especially want to get Super Mario Bros 1 and 3 and most especially all 3 SNES Donkey Kong Country games. I’ll of course go from there, but I really want to get cartridges that have genuine copies of NES and SNES games.

[@mpetko14]

Any way to play 4 player games on any of these machines?

[@joshuabaker5692]

Duck Hunt is amazing. You ever played Hogan's Alley for the NES?

[@JakeSimmons]

I have not but if it’s a shooting game it sounds fun

[@joshuabaker5692]

@@JakeSimmons Definitely not as popular as Duck Hunt but I would give it a shot if you ever get the chance.

[@2kdesignstudios72]

Does the console output av and HDMI simultaneously?

[@myew]

This man needs Duck Hunt in VR.

[@JakeSimmons]

Please tell me this is real

[@SomeOrangeCat]

Its a nice looking console, and the price is right too!

[@Deadmare]

How accurate is it compared to a real snes?

[@richardhislop-harvestthena4882]

Have had 2 Retron5s new and continued to have issues and literally threw them in the trash! Stay away from Retron I agree! Thanks was looking for an actual good alternative! Thanks!

[@23jparra]

Great video and how were able to say all that.

[@thedinobros1218]

Can I play duck hunt on this with my CRT tv using an original adapter?

[@JakeSimmons]

Should be able to

[@climberman8]

Duck hunt is the best!

[@michaelsegal3558]

1:57 he said the adaptor is red well on camera it looks more orange

[@JakeSimmons]

I can’t tell if this is a joke or not😂

[@michaelsegal3558]

@@JakeSimmons no it really does look orange on camera and the guy in the video said it was red

[@JakeSimmons]

@@michaelsegal3558 I am the guy in the video and I didn’t say it was red. I said it wasn’t being read well

[@michaelsegal3558]

@@JakeSimmons oh I misunderstood sorry

[@Knikon79]

How hard is it to pull the games in and out of this console? Does it damage the pins?

[@JakeSimmons]

You’re gonna need to put one hand on the console when you pull the games out but it’s not that hard. It’s not gonna harm the pins anymore than the original consoles

[@stewie17]

I have the AV version

[@steveulogy2003]

Can I use the 8bitdo N30 controller on this device?

[@JakeSimmons]

If it has the adapter for the original consoles yes

[@DanceBruce]

Im always looking for something like the Hyperkin Retron 5 but something that can actually output 1080p. The Retron 5 was released in 2014 with 720p output... back when i had a 1080p tv. The issue was that 720p introduced horrible input lag and gaming mode could fix it but 720p looked awful on a 1080p display. Well ive moved on to a 4k display and im always looking for something newer that can at least to 1080p because it doesnt look bad on a 4k display. Im blown away its still 720.

[@2012JvN]

A game console can"t solve problems of a tv. 720p is perfect for these old games that have much lower resolution.

[@alexrocks135]

Dammm kinda wish I got my girl this instead of an original snes. Had to get an av adapter so she could play it. It would have been cheaper and she could have gotten 2 consoles in 1 :/

[@JakeSimmons]

You can always pick this up and sell the snes. There are still a lot of people who would love an original snes

[@alexrocks135]

@@JakeSimmons I would but she already has it lol. I told her about it and she said she prefers the og console, I’m definitely buying this for myself. I didn’t know this existed, mainly been collecting n64 and GameCube games so this a great way to start collecting NES and SNES

[@elibridgers2781]

Does the Super Game Boy work on it?

[@JakeSimmons]

Yes

[@chairgaming1997]

So it takes pal cartridges then?

[@JakeSimmons]

I would assume so since it has the switch on the bottom but I don’t have any to test with

[@Idktbh-__]

Nice

[@amitramsingh3565]

Sell me the CRT T.V.

[@DokterRoetker]

Is this system an emulator, or an FPGA?

[@pungisotu]

Neither. Clone hardware. Most likely based on the same reverse engineered Chinese SOAC used by nearly every clone.

[@glizzy-gobbler3318]

Imagine making people pay to see your room 😂😂😂

I didn’t want to show it off and a lot of people requested it so that’s my compromise🤷🏼‍♂️
