Interview with Matthias Hullin – creator of Retrode 2
As someone who has owned both a Super Nintendo and Mega Drive console, I was surprised to hear about a new USB device which allows users to play their old SNES and Mega Drive cartridges on their PC. Called the Retrode 2, the USB device plugs into a PC and allows users to then plug both their cartridges and old controllers into it.
