This listing is for a new Retrode 2. The box does have a creased corner as shown in the pictures. I included a picture of a different Retrode 2 in with the listing so you will have an idea of what it looks like when removed from packaging. The item you will receive has never been removed from its box. There is no seal because the manufacturer does not sell them sealed.

The Retrode 2 is the world’s best USB adapter for vintage video games. Play your 16-bit console games on your computer/cell phone/tablet/whatnot, using your original cartridges and controllers!

What’s needed?

• Game cartridges, and lots of them
• Game controllers
• Emulators for SNES/SFC and Genesis/Mega Drive
• A computer with a USB port, running any of the above (Windows/Linux/MacOS/*NIX) - Caanoo and Pandora work fine as well.
• A Retrode!

The Retrode is for you if…

• you like playing legacy video games on your PC, Pandora or Caanoo and doing so legally
• you want to preserve your investment in these games, even after all hardware has expired
• you want to back up your game progress, e.g. before replacing the cartridge battery
