NES+Genesis clone?

[Fishaman P]

I've been looking into getting a NES+Genesis combination clone system. Original hardware isn't an option. I'm currently considering the Hyperkin RetroN 3 (v2), especially since ones with broken SNES slots are cheap and common on eBay.

Are there any other recommendations?

Hard Requirements

• Works with Sonic 1, 2, 3, and Knuckles (plus those lockons)
• Works with my EB0, SMB2j (Loopy MMC3 hack), and FF2 repro carts
• Can plug in 2 original controllers for both systems (as in, using Genesis controllers for Genesis games, and NES controllers for NES games)

Luxuries

• Sound somewhat close to the originals
• S-Video (RetroN 3 has S-Video for the Genesis, but the NES must use Composite, and having both plugged in at the same time doesn't work too well, so I hear)
• No death grip on carts

Retron 3 is your best option so far. Though in a couple months the Retron 5 will be out and will use HDMI with to make any older game look great at a higher resolution.

I would wait a bit for it if you can.
