Retrode (What a weird idea!)

Feed your SNES or Mega Drive / Genesis emulator with games from your original cartridges!

What a really weird/cool idea. I want one! If anything this'll be great for dumping carts.

Hmm...bit pricy at EUR 69.90

Interesting idea. It's like the opposite of a flash cart - play genuine carts on non-genuine hardware/play non-genuine carts on genuine hardware. For that price though it wouldn't be my cup of tea, the Tototek carts cost fractionally more only, and they also dump carts, but also give you access to translated games etc.

While I appreciate the technicality of what he's done, and the novel idea, the only plus side is that you can now "legally" use the emulators to play games.

It's a bit expensive for what it is and it'd be more convenient to just download a rom of your cart and then it's there on your computer ready to go.

Still, a cool add little device. If I got one, I'd get an old pc, build some sort of arcade/store demo type cabinet where you could plug in your game and play it like that. (If that makes any sense!) Like the way you can plug in your xbox 360 memory card into the store kiosks and download demos and stuff.
