RetroN 5: HD Retro Gaming Console

Hyperkin presents the RetroN 5, a revolutionary new way to experience classic games in high definition; the first of its kind with an all-digital HD output.

The RetroN 5 plays Game Boy® , Game Boy Color®, Game Boy® Advance, Famicom™, Super Famicom™, Nintendo® Entertainment System, Super Nintendo® Entertainment System®, Sega Genesis® and Mega Drive cartridges with enhanced resolution, improved interpolated sound, screenshot capture, and the ability to have on the fly save states.

System

The RetroN 5 has an HD port with a maximum output resolution of 720p and supports up to 60 frames per second. Digital enhancement features are available for all game formats. PAL and NTSC versions of games are supported for HD upconversion and filters, even on NTSC televisions.

Side mounted SNES, NES, and Genesis controller slots allow for play with your original controllers. For those who want to go wireless, the bundled wireless controller has a range of over 25 feet. The rear SD card slot gives you the ability to expand your save memory and for capturing screen shots in jpeg format.

Software

Game Genie is built in to make sure that your nostalgia isn’t killed by games more difficult than you remember. The RetroN 5 cleans up & upconverts your games to clean, crisp HD resolution. If you prefer old school though, you can select the “scanlines” video filter.

Dynamic controller mapping allows full customization, even with original controllers. The RetroN 5’s save state feature allows you to save at any point in your game and be able to come back exactly where you left off. Access these features without ever having to end your play session or reset your game with a touch of the Home button, bringing the convenience of a modern console to retro gaming.

Controller

Every RetroN 5 comes packed with a wireless controller. It features an D-pad, two shoulder triggers, a start and select button, as well as 4 macro and 8 controller buttons. All of these are programmable and can be mapped to any command through the settings menu. The controller recharges through an included Micro-USB cable which connects to the RetroN 5.
