    Brought a Pi 3b+ and spent ... the entire day installing everything i want on it ... its so damned cool going to my folks house to play a bunch of old games with my family. and it was so cheap.
    and here is what i love the most about it ... When the PI upgrades ... i can upgrade .. CHEAPLY ... and relative ease of use (you can just swap memory cards right ?) . i can just use my old pi for a print server or some other ease of use upgrade ...

    It's great to have a legal copy of many of these games which is how I play roms on my Emuelec frontend. While Data East and Capcom are a bit more accessible some of the earlier games are hard to get a hold of. Irem games are pretty scarce these days and Technos(my favorite) mostly impossible to get a hold of outside of the Double Dragon franchise. Wizard Fire(never heard of it) awesome game. Probably one of the most unique gems here. There is a isometric game called Gate of Doom available on Steam.

    I love the Super Retrocade. That SD card slot makes it a real retro gaming powerhouse. The only problem I've had is that it won't play vector graphics games but that's a small price to pay considering everything else it can do. It's an arcade in a box basically. Like having a classic arcade in your living room. Thanks to the Maddlittlepixel community for helping me get onboard the retro gaming train!

    Hell yeah, I'm loving the Super Retrocade! I've had it since June 2018 and have about 700 games (late 70's - 1989) with artwork. Replaced the D-pads with Sanwa joysticks and buttons. Every time (and there were a LOT of times early on) I had a question or problem with ROM'S, artwork, controller upgrading, your retro gaming forum helped me out. The only issue I have with it is it won't play games the originally used vector graphics. Next project is definitely a rotary joystick for SNK and Data East games like Ikari Warriors and Heavy Barrel. Thanks for the review and especially for all the help getting started. Much appreciated!

    I'm interested in this super retrocade, but I think I'd lean towards that crazy expensive SNES instead - That Super NT looks pretty insane.. Problem is, for me, too many options and I already have multiple ways to play the same games at my house. So I dont pull the trigger. Cool idea for a video. I always appreciate your in-depth analysis and expertise, MLP!

Love your channel Smash JT, take care

    I would assume, because most people have time or money to buy and make, there own retro gaming things, like maybe rasberry pi or something.
    Most people, would probably like to play games from there earlier years, but do not know how to get the things like raspberry pi or something going.
    This is probably seen by them as an easy solution.

    It has played every Genesis game I threw at it and only didn't work with arcade versions of Mk1,2,3,U, WrestleMania arcade, WWF superstars and NBA jam. Genesis and SNES versions of NBa jam and all versions of MK work.
    I was almost disappointed with this thing because it wouldn't play WWF WrestleFest. Tried all versions and finally the Japanese version which is mainly English anyway works flawlessly. This thing works pretty well. And plays most games.
    MJ Moonwalker Arcade is a little slow at times, but mainly playable. This thing is dope

    I absolutely love this device. It is my go to device for arcade gaming. I suggest using LAKKA on an SD card on this device. There are a couple of youtube videos on how to do this. I have better luck running the majority of roms this way then with Retroarch on my laptop. It even detected my dual arcade stick and trackball which was my only real issue not using LAKKA. Another plus is it reads my Commodore roms and also others I would normally have issues wth or would not be able to run in the first place.

    I have a Pi (Actually built it for fun. I'm no electrician, but it looked straightforward enough so I gave it a whirl. I really enjoyed putting it together), but I kind of want one of these from a collector's standpoint. I also kind of want that crappy Mega Man 2 plug and play from Walmart too (I hear the video quality is bad on that one), or the Double Dragon* plug and play. lol
    *If they ever do Double Dragon II: The Revenge, I'm sold. I got a copy of that for like 10 cents at Funko Land back in the day, and I played the hell out of it. Still have it, but I would love a cheesy arcade stick with DDII artwork. One of my favorite NES games. Whenever I talk about a sequel with a 2 in the title, I usually mumble "The Revenge" to myself. lol

    Could be pointed out that the mali 400 at 600mhz is better than the raspberry pi gpu stock 300mhz, oc 500, both are likely running 1.2ghz cpu the h3 is capable of 1.6 similar to the pi3b+ with overclock, both have 1gb ram (I think) , but it comes down to ease of use that retrocade plug and play, pi takes a little work.
