The Trio is a duplicate of the SNES, NES and Genesis cartridge consoles combined into one. The system seems to work with the games I have tried on it and it is compact and lighter than a DVD player or VHS. This is much better looking than the Duo; after seeing the Duo I did not want to buy one but nevertheless this is a marked improvement on the RetroN range. The controllers are accurate to the SNES style and will play responsively to the game, my only complaint might be that the cartridge slots are not quite as easy to pull as the original consoles although this is no criticism of the software or electronic hardware. The choice of ports on the front panel is nice for people who have a favourite controller and the default controller, despite looking like a SNES, uses a Saga Genesis port. The system comes with two of these which have cables of a modest length which enables two player mode. The system is fun to play two players and I did test this out with no problems encountered. The only additional hardware you might need is a cable extension as my sofa is much further away from the TV and I end up moving chairs but this is no big deal. The system claims to have a region unlock feature but often the game works without intervention. On the back you have the choice of AV or S-Video, both work quite well and for capture device users, one can be used to capture footage and the other for the TV screen. Overall it is not as advanced as the RetorN 5 but that has a modern OS and all sorts of unnecessary features that only detract on the gaming experience, old consoles were ready to go in seconds and if that is what you want without buying all of the original consoles, the Trio is the console for you. Note: the adapter I got was European and I am using an adapter, please remember to check the eBay listing before ordering if you want a regional plug also the manual comes in all languages but there is not a lot of point as it is easy to set up in minutes (depending on if you care about using wire sorters and that kind of thing).Read full review
