The successor model, the Retrode 2, used a plastic enclosure with a dust cover, and had four controller ports built in-two for each system, SNES and Sega Genesis. Internal soldering pins allowed users to retrofit up to four ports for SNES controllers. The first commercial version of the Retrode featured an aluminum profile enclosure with two slots to accommodate SNES and Sega Genesis game cartridges. A number of device parameters could be edited through a configuration file. Access to the cartridge contents (typically a ROM chip with the game itself and optionally also a battery-backed SRAM to store game progress) was provided through files on the USB medium. The device enumerated as a composite USB device consisting of a USB mass storage endpoint and one or several USB game controllers. Its updateable firmware was based on the LUFA library by Dean Camera, and was developed mainly by Hullin with the help of a few users. The Retrode was based on an Atmel AVR microcontroller (AT90USB646) with an integrated USB interface, connecting to cartridge slots and game controller ports via the microcontroller's GPIO pins. A comprehensive write-up by a Retrode user documents the history of the project. The Retrode from 2015 is the second hardware revision.įor each of the two hardware revisions, the transition from prototype to mass production was enabled through crowdfunding (pre-ordering). The Retrode got licensed to OpenPandora GmbH in Germany and is available again since March 2015. Retrode UG ceased manufacturing the Retrode in the summer of 2013. After receiving significant coverage through various press outlets, Hullin developed the proof-of-concept (working title "snega2usb") into a product that was later manufactured by Retrode UG in Germany. Hullin prototyped the envisioned operation principle by wiring an edge connector to an AT90USBKey evaluation board running a custom firmware, and prepared a demonstration video. As that clearly doesn't sound normal.The device was originally conceived by Matthias Hullin in 2009 during a discussion on USB accessories in a user forum for the Pandora handheld gaming console.
#DRAGONBOX RETRODE MOD#
Did you try ONE mod in different GBCs? Maybe the mod is faulty - in which case I would suggest to replace it (on our costs, of course). I also haven't heard anything like that from the a customer.
I'm playing mostly action games on my GBC (Mario 2, Pinball - Revenge of the Gator, Duck Tales, etc.) and never had an issue of the display being slow or even flickering. Additionally, the display shouldn't flicker or be slow. Once the capacitors are full, it works reliably - which is the reason it works on second try :) With the USB mod, this shouldn't happen. The reason for that is that the backlight needs more power - so the voltage breaks down on first switch-on and the GBC then thinks the battery is empty and switches itself off. Switching it on two times should only necessary without the USB mod. This is just purely the service for the shop, not the product :) That said, I'm a bit surprised by the issues you have.
Hi, just a quick addition: To rate the product, please use the product page in the shop.
