## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap and works great!
*by J***S on June 22, 2018*

Great product! Works with every game I have thrown at it, all except for Battletoads. Battletoads freezes during the 2nd level, but can be bypassed by using the level 3 warp in the first level. Other then that it works very well with everything else. Also be very careful when pulling the game cartridges out of the top loader because the pins inside the system can be easily damaged, and I mean easily considering that this is my second unit. The first unit was damaged because I didn’t know the pins in the unit were easily damaged when trying to get the cartridges out as they tend to get stuck in the unit and sometimes you have to pull on the game cart pretty hard. Still a great product overall if you want a cheap alternative to playing your old NES cartridges.

### ⭐ Complete Junk
*by B***O on February 23, 2021*

Worked for 5 mins. Complete Junk.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty Good Overall
*by J***R on February 2, 2018*

I like this a lot and there are a few things to note.Pros:- Good picture with a nice color palette (some clones have odd colors but these are very nice)- Cheap solution for HD NES games- The controllers feel very nice and you get two included- Compatibility seems pretty good and even games like Castlevania 2 that don't run well on my Super Retro Trio run great on thisCons:- The Everdrive N8 does not work on it and you get a black screen if you try booting it up- The audio on all games is just a little off. It's not super annoying, but it is noticeable- By default if outputs 16:9 so you need to set the aspect ratio on your tv or your games will be stretched- The power cable feels very cheap and is just a micro usb cable and plug, but I guess they had to cut on something to keep the price so lowThere is definitely room for improvement, but for the price this is a really solid system and I'm going to be using it a lot for sure. It's a nice HD solution that doesn't cost too much and is practical for anyone who wants something that "just works" so long as they are okay with the audio being a little off.
