My Mega Everdrive Pro finally showed up today, and yes, it's fucking amazing. It blows my mind that not only does it play Mega CD games off a cartridge, it also emulates a NES.
Black magic.

I get where you're coming from. I'd totally make the same argument if the ex hadn't chucked out all my games and hardware when we moved to Tasmania. Now if I want to build up my old collection, it'll be thousands of dollars that I don't have. Meanwhile, I have a complete collection of every ROM and CD image, soooo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, can definitely understand that. Definitely stings though with losing your entire collection though, sorry mate.
It's a bad time to start collecting too right now as well due to the ridiculous prices of retro gaming in general.

I'm... Not sure about that. To be honest, I did leave for Tasmania two weeks before her, leaving her with a bunch of stuff to do. But then, I also didn't explicitly say I didn't want it disposed of.
Let's just say the whole Tasmania jaunt was a very stressful experience, and it's frankly amazing I'm around to tell the story.
In another note, I stayed up til 2am this morning playing Mega CD games. I haven't stayed up that late playing games in years!

I've not had the time to completely unpack my collection into the right format, but my picks so far have been Flashback (although I think it's better on Megadrive), Jurassic Park, Ecco (the music!), and Dune. I fucking love that last one.

I ordered a Retroid Pocket 2 a while back.
I checked the tracking, and it was delivered on Friday. Damn things been sitting in the mailbox through rainaggedon.
Doubt I'll get much time with it until the weekend, but definitely will be providing impressions.
Kinda wish i'd got the orange one now.
Yeah, this is retro gaming I can handle. None of the time, space, money and effort involved. Much respect to the guys in this thread that do it properly though. https://www.goretroid.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
$90US.
There are tons of videos on YouTube about it.
I got a PlayGo - a similar device - a few months back, and it was a fun distraction for a few weeks. The things are seriously underpowered though; a 1GHz single core MIPS processor running a custom Linux OS called Dingux.
I tried powering up mine with no SD card installed yesterday, and now it's dead
Edit: forgot to mention on of the volume buttons broke. Not the plastic bit, but the switch itself. I hope yours is of better build quality!

Eh. $90.
It seems quite nice so far. Definitely not for those not prepared to tinker and look up stuff online. Couldn't find or figure out where the pre-installed games were for a while. I think once I get it configured how I want it, it'll be more settled.
To be honest, my biggest motivation is for Megadrive shooters like Gynoug/Wings of Wor, and Thunderforce.
The screen is nice quality and sharp, but maybe a little too small for my liking. I'll have to get my good reading glasses out. I had a bit of play with Tekken3 (PS) and Mario64, and they both run surprisingly nicely.
