Anyone else have a Gen Mobile? I'm having some problems...

[Anayo]

I just got a Gen Mobile for Christmas and I suspect something is wrong with it. The speakers sound extremely tinny and the in game music and sound effects are really weird. It still sounds this way when I use head phones, but when I connect it to the TV it sounds fine. Also, the volume control knob doesn't appear to work. Is this just mine, or is everyone's like this?

I almost ordered one of these today... maybe I'll wait and see how this plays out. Hopefully there is nothing wrong with it man! Could you try returning it?

[Anayo]

I'm strongly considering a return and exchange, but I was hoping to see if anyone else was having the same issue.

I think I heard the Gen Mobile was a piece of shit. I was gonna get one too...

The unit feels sturdy (albeit hollow), the buttons aren't as good as a Genesis controller but they're decent; it's very slim (almost smaller than a Genny cart), has great battery life, and the screen has really saturated color and eliminates the motion blur problems the Nomad had.

The screen is a little... small. The picture quality's great, it's just really tiny. The sound is questionably emulated, resulting in chiptunes that are slightly off pitch. Combine that with the weird speaker/headphone jack output problems on my unit (which are very scratchy and tinny), and the music from Streets of Rage 2 and Sonic sounds, to put it bluntly, like ear rape.

Also, the volume control knob doesn't work, which is unacceptable when I'm in a public place. I suspect this is a specific problem with my unit... it'd be nice if I could check against another Racketboy member though.

I just ordered one along with the Retrogen. Hopefully it won't have this problem.

I ended up ordering one of these, so I'll let you know what the deal is with mine.

I'm currently on the fence about picking up a Retrogen. Please keep us all updated

I am wanting one of these two handhelds (retrogen or gen mobile) but I hear that the retrogen wont work with Phantasy Star 4 and Bloodlines - two of the games I want to play on it.
By any chance can either of you confirm if Phantasy Star or Bloodlines work on the Gen Mobile?
Thanks

Id get the RetroGen..... I love it! the Screen is Incredible and the controls are great other than playing Street Fighter and SNK Fighter Games. Many games are side scroller platformed anyways. So--- Other than that, the RETROGEN is an Awesome Purchase. And at this point....I have not ran across a game I have had an issue with yet!.

The D pad on the retrogen and the silver buttons look cheap but suprisingly--- they work really good! As for the sound.... the Sound really depends on the game but I thought really the retrogen would dish out worse sound than it does, so I was surprised again! Sonics look incredible on it!

Glad I purchased the retrogen over the Gen Mobile. I know the game has 20 sega games but Id rather get the carts anyway.
