RetroGen
Made for: Super Nintendo Entertainment System
Manufacturer: Retro-bit
Release Date RRP Code

The RetroGen is an accessory for the Super Nintendo Entertainment system, allowing the console to play Sega Mega Drive games. The device was released in 2011 by Retro-bit, and likely has no backing from either Sega or Nintendo.

The RetroGen is less impressive than it sounds - it is effectively a Mega Drive console housed within a Super Nintendo game cartridge. It draws its power from the SNES and uses the SNES controllers for input, but requires its own separate A/V cables. The internals of the Super Nintendo are rarely used - everything is done from within the cartridge.

There is a region switch on the side.
