It's not that. It doesn't have a reset button so there's no safe way to get it into a writable mode.(It's also a shame nobody's hacked the Turbografx-16 Mini so you can add games, but with such a low product run, I can hardly blame a lack of enthusiasm from the hacking community.)
I've found that it works pretty decently on a 16" portable monitor (and with a second controller plugged in--retains the portability for a nice 2-player experience you can bring with you) but I haven't done extensive trials on a big-screen TV.Got a Mini HDMI converter cable for my Retroid so I could play it on my TV as well.
Good news; it works and it makes the text on games designed for a larger screen than the Retroid itself much clearer.
Downside is that it puts so much dithering and artifacts on the screen that it makes every game look like a bad photoshop of itself.
I haven't seen them all of course, but every CRT filter I've seen on various systems and on various HDTVs/monitors looks absolutely terrible to me. I'm glad I have a 20 inch CRT for when I'm feeling like I want a "classic" experience.
I don't know if the Super Nt retains its power state once it loses electricity, but if it does: smart outlet. I had one for my MiSTer for a while, you could just yell at the thing to turn it on.I will admit that I occasionally get annoyed at having to get up and walk across the living room on my stupid legs to turn on my Super NT. Yes, it's supposed to be like a SNES, but it was made last year! Give me some way to turn it on remotely.
