Blurry video
Blurry video and poor emulation take away from nice game selection I just purchased v1.1 of the Super Retro-cade (Fall 2020). While a somewhat decent unit with a nice selection of games (if you like shooters, platformers and brawlers), there are glaring issues that ruin the gaming experience. - Many of the games stutter. This varies from making the games annoying (i.e. Mystic Riders) to unplayable (i.e. Double Dragon, Mystic Riders). - All arcade games are blurry instead of sharp due to the mandatory smoothing filter. The smoothing filter cannot be disabled on these (only on the console games) and makes the games look terrible. This is a major concern. Hoping these issues can be addressed with a firmware update as it's very difficult to recommend it otherwise. I realize that this unlikely due to the age of the unit (even though it's still actively sold). Other features I would like to see added are 240P output support for CRTs and the ability to use non Retro-bit controllers/arcade sticks.

    This is awesome you can download from arcade punks a large file with roms that will give you like 14000 games with icons for each . could have better gamepads and good luck on finding others that will work with it.

    Works great out of box, good price, expandable. Easy enough for kids to use but tech savvy people can use it to the full potential.

    Great value for what it offers
    I'm giving this console a 5 Star because of its quality for the price. The console comes with 2 controllers, the power supply and an HDMI cable. The controllers look a bit cheap at first, but not long after using them, you find they feel more like a modified SNES controller. They could of used a different color scheme then red and white, but the physical design of the console doesn't have much to do with the specs and what it can do. I do like the fact that comes with 90 video games composed of classic arcade games, NES and SNES, but the best part is that you can easily download more and add well over 8,000 games from over a dozen game consoles such as NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Master System, Game Gear, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance and more. Admittedly there are better consoles out there for around the same price or only a little extra, such as a Jailbroken PS3, a Jailbroken Wii or you can buy a Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi or some other one board computer, but from the jump the Retro-Bit Super Retro-Cade offers more ability than the NES Classic, Super NES Classic, Sega Genesis Flashback and PlayStation Classic (Accept the greatest game of all time Final Fantasy VII), as roms are very easy to load up on the Super Retro-Cade, allowing someone to play ALL NES, SNES and Sega Genesis games with ease. I recommend this game console even if you do have a high end gaming PC with HyperSpin or a Raspberry Pi with Emulation Station
