The Retrode 2 Makes Your SNES And Genesis Cartridges Useful Again

Retrode2-cartsControllers2Last year, or I suppose it is now the year before last, we saw the Retrode, a little device that let you easily create ROM files from your SNES and Genesis cartridges. Useful, but sort of a one-shot device if you're not a serious collector. The team behind it has created a new device, the Retrode 2 naturally, that is a bit more useful to the average retro-loving gamer.Instead of just forming ROMs in a one-off process, the Retrode 2 acts as a cartridge reader for your emulator, and lets you plug in the original controllers as well. Being able to play SNES on those is a great bonus — there's nothing that takes true 16-bit fans out of the game so much as having to play these old things on a newfangled controller.
