Now that I did the update I don't seem to have that problem. It recognized DKC and Shining Force.
There is something wrong but awesome when playing NES games with a Genesis 6 button pad.

Or you just keep a SNES pad in there and play everything with it.

What? *looks around* it's perfectly acceptable!

Naw. I love the Genesis 6 button pad. It is my favorite controller of all time. I feel guilty using a SEGA pad on a NES game but I will not give into the guilt. I will use the SNES pad for SNES games because of the shoulder buttons.

I just tried out the Star Tropics audio fix patch that was discussed on the Retroleauge podcast and it works fine on the Retron 5. There is a very slight pause but it continues to play the overworld track as intended instead of the buggy original version. Here is a video for anyone interested:

So do you just put the patches in the root of the SD card or in folders like the cheats?

You can but you can also organize them into folders. I have mine in an IPS Patches folder and then subfolders for NES, Genesis, GBA, GB, Famicom, ect. You can only apply one patch at a time and once you have applied it, it will automatically apply every time you boot up the game unless you manually disable it from within the specific game settings menu.

Awesome. Thanks, I'm going to put them in folders like you mentioned.

^ This. I use the SNES controller for everything, except once in awhile I use the NES controller for NES games.

I like it. And it's better than the original Genesis controller to boot.
