Hyperkin RetroN 5

Hyperkin RetroN 5

The RetroN 5 from Hyperkin is a curious little emulator box that can play NES, SNES, Super Famicom, Genesis, Mega Drive, Famicom, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and GBA cartridges on one system. You can also play Game Gear and Master System with an additional adapter.

This is an emulator, not cloned hardware. Cartridge ROMs are dumped right off the original cartridge into the RetroN 5’s internal memory, which is then played using software emulation. Through a slightly convoluted method one can also play ROMs loaded onto an SD card, allowing one to have complete collections of multiple systems in one box with a bit of workaround. (One original cartridge of each system type required; any cartridge works, but you have to have a cartridge.)
