  • The Best Way To Play Genesis Games In HDTV
I was able to purchase this console after getting myself a new HD television set to replace my old CRT television set due to it acting buggy after using it for over fifteen years, and I feel like it was time to upgrade my game consoles that I use to play my older games in my collection, namely my Sega Genesis. The Hyperkin Megaretron is basically a console that plays Genesis games in HD, though it does support composite gameplay if you prefer playing it in an original format. I was able to try out many of the games that are playable on the console, which all seem to work fine, including any multi-cart games that have over a hundred titles on them. I especially love the look and design of the console which almost reminds me of an altered version of a Model 1 Sega Genesis with the power switch being quite similar to it, and it's even able to light up with a blue beacon to let players know that it is turned on. The console even comes with a six-button controller that is a bit bulky and works fine after being able to try it out plenty of times, but thankfully, you can use the original Sega Genesis controllers on the console if you prefer, since the controller that came bundled with the console may not be for everyone. If there are any faults to the console, however, it would have to be the two second delay whenever a game is being played on an HDTV, to which you'd miss out on the first couple of seconds for a title screen or opening when you turn it on (though I'm not exactly sure if that's because of the model for the TV or whatever), and some of the sound for certain games can be a little scratchy at times, but it's nothing too noticeable. Other than that, this is still a good retro console to check out, and I actually give it four-and-a-half out of five stars. ... show more

  • The Sega Retro Gaming Console that Can!
Back in the day, Sega ruled the video game world. And I spent hours with my kids playing Sega games (I also bought them Nintendo consoles, but Sega games were my personal favorite). I'm retired now and have more free time on my hands and wanted to relive the countless hours of fun that I had playing Sega games. However, most of the current Sega retro consoles have games built in and don't take the cartridges; and that's a deal breaker for me because I actually still have the original cartridges from when my kids and I played the games. After searching the net and amazon for something that would accept Sega cartridges (but wouldn't cost an arm and a leg), I came across the Hyperkin Megaretron HD. It cost a bit more than some of the other similar consoles, but the reviews were all great; and for less than $100, I didn't mind giving it a try. Man oh man! This little system rocks! The set-up was a no brainer and took only a few minutes. The Hyperkin is much smaller than the original Sega units, but works just as well as the originals. For my test run, I put in Phantasy Star IV and BOOM! Home Run! The game looks great and the music was as I remembered. I've gone thru several cartridges to make sure they're still working and yes they are! I'm in Sega Retro Heaven!!! The only drawback is that it only comes with one controller, but for me that's not really a problem as I'm going to be the only one playing most of the time and when I need an extra one, I still have my original Sega controllers, so I'm good! If you're looking for a retro console to play the Original Sega Cartridges, then look no further, the Hyperkin Megaretron HD is what you've been waiting for!!! ... show more

  • Almost perfect "modern" HD Genesis clone
I own several Hyperkin retro consoles, and the MegaRetron HD is my favorite. I am a lifelong Sega aficionado, having owned an original MK1 Genesis back in 1989, and a MK2 in the early 2000s. The design of this console is wonderful, evoking the styling of the original MK1 console without being a direct copy. My favorite feature is the power switch, which feels very much like the original system's and gives me a hit of nostalgia every time I flip it. The included 6-button pad is decent, but for the hard-core, you'll want to buy Retro-Bit's officially licensed reproduction, which is spot-on. Casual users should find the included pad to be perfectly adequate. It's also worth noting that Hyperkin intentionally built some heft into the unit so that it feels solid. It also has rubber feet, something the Genesis Mini cannot claim, and so overall the unit feels quality. Performance-wise, casual users should find a lot to love here. The system connects via HDMI, so it will work on modern TVs and even monitors with HDMI ports. Games play just fine, with only the most minor variations from what you'd see and hear on a genuine system for the most part. There are two significant caveats for the aficionados out there: 1. The system appears to be producing a standard-definition signal that is then routed through HDMI. This gives the video output a bit of blur, so if you're expecting perfectly crisp HD pixels, you need to lower your expectations. The system also offers no video filtering features (such as scanlines or anti-aliasing) if you're into that kind of thing, so what you see is all you're getting. Personally, I don't mind this so much since I don't like the filters most retro systems offer, and the slight blurring of the image lends some authenticity and charm to graphics that weren't *meant* to be seen pixel-perfect. 2. The second caveat is, in my mind, more significant. On the few games that use the Genesis's alternate horizontal resolution (something you may have never noticed back in the day), the system doesn't change the display resolution, and instead does a weird interpolating of horizontal pixels, leading to some noticeable pixel-crawl on certain games. Unfortunately, these tend to be some very popular titles, such as Street Fighter 2: SCE. To me this makes these games a bit ugly and rough-looking, but many casual users may not mind. Compared to the competition, such as the MiniGen or GenX, the MegaRetron HD stands out for offering HDMI capability whereas most others offer only A/V (RCA) outputs, which is a major drawback today since many newer TVs don't even have A/V connectors anymore. Most other Genesis clones are cheap and flimsy-seeming by comparison as well. The Retron5 (also from Hyperkin) is worth considering since it can play practically every major 8 and 16-bit platform's games, offers HDMI and a lot of advanced features. However, the system runs off emulation, so there's some inherent drawbacks there, and the design of the console itself is pretty utilitarian-looking. It also comes with the worst controller in history (yes, worse than a Jaguar or 3do), although it's compatible with genuine controllers. The 800-pound Gorilla in the room, Analogue's Mega SG, is unfortunately no longer available. It's a nice-looking system (although no awesome retro power switch), and offers a good array of display options and perfect reproduction of the original experience via an FPGA chip that "imitates" the original (no emulation or anything). But, even when it was available, it was far more expensive than the MegaRetron HD. So, there you have it. The MegaRetron HD is probably the best Genesis retro console still in production today. Oh, and in case you're wondering, I haven't had any luck using Master System adapters for other consoles on the Retron, although I haven't tried them all and YMMV. ... show more
