How it works

  1. Find and install emulator. (If you are new to emulation, you may want to check out one of the numerousemulation-relatedportals.)
  2. Plug cartridge into Retrode, and connect controllers. Of course, if you only want to use either the cartridge or a controller, that’s fine with us.
  3. Connect Retrode to computer. No drivers needed.
  4. Play! Load ROM into the emulator, configure the controllers, and you’ll be playing in no time.
