Topic: Original NES Carts

Posts 1 to 6 of 6

I really wanted to avoid emulation. So I bought the original NES carts and I'm using a Retron 1 HD.

The problem I'm having is that certain games have screen tearing, like Turtles, and Bart vs The Space Mutants. Apparently this is how it was back in the 90's?

Thanks

As @ogo79 said, the SNS-RZ-USA is a prime giveaway that it's not a legit retail cart.

Hi!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it may be a console problem.
There's a good review on the retron 1 HD on this site: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/07/hardware_review_hype...

As you can see in the comparison video, there are some issues with the hardware emulation.
I understand that you want to avoid emulation for software, but if you're not playing on real original hardware there may be other compromises, sadly.
Hope you're not too disappointed!

Yep it's the console. My suggestion if you want an HD NES clone go with the Retro USB AVS.

It is probably the best HD NES clone system on the market right now at a reasonable price. It doesn't use ROM dumps either like some clone systems do which is nice. Definitely worth the price and I enjoy mine alot.

Thanks everyone.

There's literally only 10 NES games I want, but at the same time, playing via emulation feels like a bit 'dirty'.

I can't warrant £££ on the NT although it does look amazing. If I had 100 cartridges I would, but when I only have 10, it's either a case of buying a Retron to play them on, or selling them and going down the Pi route, which I really didn't want to do.

Are you sure it's the console though? Looking on YouTube, some NES games do have these little glitches on screen anyway. Could it just be how they are?

Saying that, all games on this link, played on the Retron HD don't appea glitchy at all?

On this video, it does the same as my Turtles games does in relation to the health bar flickering -

TMNT1 is pretty jittery, yes. Pretty sure it was that case on the original console, I know it was on Wii as well.
