everyone we're at the retrofit booth now at CES 2019 this isn't it's not PC enthusiast starter but we've covered some of the classic consoles lately you might have seen our ps1 classic look might have seen our Superboy look this one it's by a different company it's the Genesis portable system it's new here at the show some of stuff is still TBD so let's just get that out of the way first the chassis externally probably going to change some of the buttons might change a bit but just for an early look this might interest some of you for going back to the Genesis in a sort of handheld form factor because it can also output via HDMI if you want to output to a more modern larger display before that this video is brought to you by the deep cool captain 240 pro AO cooler the captain 240 Pro uses a bladder within the water tank to expand and contract based on liquid temperature as a leak prevention mechanism this works by birthing air at higher temperatures making for a unique closed-loop liquid cooler design the captain 240 pro also expands upon the existing captain series by extending tube length for more flexible positioning and updating the LEDs learn more at the link in the description below so go over the buttons first I guess d-pad on the left side you've got all the core buttons on the right side two speakers oriented in the bottom two bottom left bottom right HDMI output on the top PL and NTSC switch so something we saw also on the Superboy we've seen it on while the ps1 classic sort of resolved it internally but back when PL and ntsc were more of a problem these cartridges obviously will need to be adapted to that based on the region you're in so PL NTSC switch it is a cart reader so this is not a software thing there's no internal game storage it doesn't store a bunch of the games it's not emulation and it's again just like the Superboy if you saw our coverage of that you insert the cartridge the cartridge it'll play off the cartridge and that takes care of it don't know what the CPU is going to be at this time but probably no software involved so insert the cartridge it should just work to use Jenson's quote and then on or off switch on the top left of course dcn a couple things on the bottom that are slightly obscured by the just a display 3m tape so ignore the tape there that's for the show only obviously but that's looking at probably about $70 release maybe in June and then the size the the form factor of the console might change a little bit but Genesis portable is the name that they're working with right now the next one immediately across from that is the n64 tribute controller so these are in a wireless USB and the original form-factor connector that you can plug into the n64 if you use the original has a built in for the original console has a built-in rumble Pak I guess or motor so you don't have to use the original rumble Pak but you can and then the USB options have a built-in memory card reader but if not USB and Wireless are available as options $30 for this one right here and then 25 next to it you might notice it's a bit different from the original true n64 controller whether or not that bothers use that's entirely up to you some people probably liked that and if they did then I am sorry for whatever happened to you to make you like the original controller but then 64 tribute is just kind of interesting couple more we'll look at on the other wall and then I think there's a cartridge we can talk about too so this section will keep it a bit shorter but these are officially licensed by Sega products by retro bit at their booth so nothing nothing fishy going on but if you wanted a an officially licensed Genesis there's a Dreamcast there's a Saturn controller so lots too many controllers for me to memorize frankly will show some b-roll so you can see what they are but plenty of products I guess the idea here is same thing as the n64 tribute you can plug into USB right here there are some wireless options there's some original connector options and I guess it just comes down to if you're playing something for example an existing emulator on your PC which is not provided by retro bit but I'm positive you could find online somewhere probably then you can plug this in via USB it might give you a bit more authentic experience so kind of cool we wanted to point it out for something a bit different for the show either there's a cartridge too so retro bit has a couple of these this one it's an eye rim licensed game so there's they still exist and retro bit went got the license for it they've got a $60 cartridge for Metal Storm and that's we've got some shots of it as well but these have been launched before by retro bit it's just the newest one and I guess if you're looking for that kind of thing rather than buying it through eBay and getting the original for potentially hundreds of dollars you've got an option in a legitimate new cartridge so wanted to point these out again it's not PC enthusiasts Hardware coverage but cool laughs and it's a bit of a fun break from the six videos a day of CPUs GPUs and motherboards so thank you for watching as always
