Review: It's awesome. - This is a near-perfect modern Sega Genesis console. It easily hooks up to modern tvs, and only one of my 140+ original cartridges doesn't work on it. That one game that doesn't work is Ecco (the Dolphin) 2: Tides of Time, If you're want this console just to play that one game get something else. If you want this console to play ANY other Sega Genesis game, this is a great console. The sound quality is good, this is something that is pretty much authentic to the original Sega Genesis console (as in, it's as good as it gets, which wasn't great to begin with). The graphics quality is good, but not perfect. The Megaretron uses an upscaling technique that slightly blurs the edges of sprites and text. It's not really something that detracts from it for me, but it's not exactly what the games originally looked like. If you want the PERFECT visuals of these games, you're going to want to get the Analogue Mega SG, but good luck finding one of those, they're sold out/discontinued(?) and the used ones are selling for $600 or more. Another bonus, this console works with all the original Sega Genesis peripherals that I've tried with it. It works with the original controller, the arcade controller, the third party SG ProPad (my favorite controller). It works with 32X, and the Game Genie. It also works with the Everdrive (Which does successfully emulate that Ecco: Tides of Time game on the Retron, so it's something particular to that cartridge). The controller it comes with is pretty decent too, much more comfortable to use than an original Genesis controller. The console is snappy and responsive, I never noticed any input lag or anything. I haven't noticed it causing any slow downs or speed ups in gameplay on any of my games, so the emulator is perfectly tuned as far as I can tell. The one thing the Retron isn't going to work with is the Sega/Mega CD. It has no expansion port for it, so you can scratch that off the list. I've had the Retron for 2 years now and put a lot of hours on it, so it's also got good build quality and not just 1 month lasting junk. For the price, this FAR exceeds expectations. The few shortcomings that it has are more than made up for by how well it works with modern hardware. The Analogue Mega SG is better overall, but
Review: Great way to play carts on modern TVs - This is an excellent budget way to play your Genesis cartridges. I was able to get a cheap multi cart , but it doesn't work with this. Luckily I can program the cart and load up whatever game I want to play with my original Genesis, and then I can just plug that cart into this and play that game. It's an annoying workaround, but be aware that the cheap knock-off carts won't work on this. I can't speak to the pricier options, but I have my doubts on those too. As far as gameplay goes, well, it is super fun, and I don't have struggles with lag, and I'm an average to above average gamer, so I'd likely notice if it was awful. I'm no pro streamer, so perhaps it doesn't cut it for those, but I'm Mega Man and platformer player, and I've had no issues with this. Road Rash 2 has been a blast on this thing. Works perfectly! I've also been using old AT GAMES 6 button controllers, and those work just fine. I've also used retrobit's 6 button as well, and that's working AOK too! I don't have any original controllers just yet, but I'll work on that eventually. This is a great and cheap way to play original carts on an hd TV. It looks pretty good side by side with a CRT , but the colors still look best on the CRT, but this is close enough. If you have carts and no Genesis or carts and a old system that's on the fritz. Or if you dont want to deal with a CRT, then this is an excellent option. The power button and the reset button make it feel a bit like the real thing. The design is a nice homage to the real deal as well. I'm having a great time with this, and I hope you do as well!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Device
*by A***M on August 31, 2025*

I was a little worried that this wouldn't be much of an improvement over my current Sega, but when I flipped this on I knew it was a keeper. My old Sega has occasional weird lines that seem to be an issue with loose soldering on the board among other issues and I'm glad I took the chance to upgrade to this. The picture is exactly what I was hoping for-- no fancy filters. Yes, this has the Hyperkin death grip. Master games do run in PAL mode over HDMI but obviously slower on American/Japanese televisions. The original 3-Button controller from my Sega is working fine. The sound seems mixed slightly different, with the bass more full and the mids turned way down, but it might just be that my old console wasn't outputting the full spectrum correctly. This unit works fine with cheap Megadrives which is a huge plus, though Sonic 2 & Knuckles needs a very specific ROM to work correctly. Overall, I'm quite impressed with the quality of this. It looks like a mini Gen 1 Genesis complete with the volume switch as the power switch.
