Yeah, there are two of them that I know of. Both of them are in that MediaFire link that was posted earlier.

One is an "Uncensored" version which keeps some of the original aspects of the Japanese version such as changing Pokey's name back to PoRky. I'm guessing the other one pretty much turns Mother 2 into Earthbound, but I'm not certain.

- Screenshots may now be saved as either PNG or JPEG, with PNG made as the new default

Ok poked around definitely nice. I really ought to test out the gbc pallete with my final fantasy adventure if I could get around to looking through my binder(cases are going to be ordered once I find a way to get the rest of the decent psp games I don't have that I know gamestop will start marking down soon....). Maybe tommorrow if I don't get a chance soon I'll really see what decent patches I can find for what games I have even if they're rom hacks to turn them into other games :lol:

It's on their fb, that's how i got it. Forgot exed linked to it :lol: If hyperkin is on a roll like this someone needs to suggest they add support for bluetooth headphones/speakers. If the controller runs off bluetooth then I would hope it wouldn't be too hard to add that :roll:

I tested this one out last night before Retron Tech made it public. The separate save feature is great, and it seems to have fixed the DKC games (only tried DKC3, but it was working perfectly).

Yeah I don't get it, but they only list this stuff on facebook. I'd think it would be better to be on the website too with a big disclaimer.

The Retron Tech does read this thread, one at Digital Press a couple other places so all the complaints and requests seem to be shaking out well, those that are good and within reason as you can only do so much as an employee.

Retron5 Wishlist:
Game specific settings
Support for other bluetooth controllers/devices
Ability to change menu color or themes (that red gets pretty harsh on the eyes)
Record short videos to SD card
Multicart insertion/selection
Achievements/Trophies for popular games (jk)

Things I'll probably never get:
TurboGrafx 16 adapter
Power on remotely
Bluetooth controllers based on SNES/SFC, Genesis/MD and Saturn.
Ability to use saves on other emulators (Sometimes I like to game on the go with my PSP)
WiFi (Why? Idunno)

New BETA works well.

Amazing how Hyperkin seems to be releasing one every few days.
