This thing is pretty decent quality when compared to most of these clone systems that have cropped up the last few years. It has a few shortcomings, which is to be expected of these clones but nothing is a major problem.

PROS:

- Genesis on the go!

- Brand new hardware without years of wear and tear. You could say this for all clones.

- AV out capability.

- It does indeed have a headphone jack.

- Not nearly as cumbersome as a Nomad.

- The built-in games are official Genesis titles, most of which are GOOD games.

- Buttons are surprisingly good and responsive.

- Built-in rechargeable battery that lasts hours.

- Easier to set up than Genesis or a standard console geneclone for play on a TV.

- The box it comes in is very compact, sturdy, attractive and easy to access so its great for storing the unit.

CONS:

- There are occasions you wish you had a bigger screen.

- Only 1 player games since there is no way to connect another controller.

- Its easy to get carried away in a game and accidentally hit the reset button (it’s right next to the d-pad).

- Also easy for the volume wheel to creep up on you during play.

- Feels slightly awkward in your hand when a cartridge is in.

- Despite what the box says, neither of the 2 units I bought came with a manual! It’s not exactly rocket science but SOME paperwork is expected with every electronic device.

- Like most clones, the emulated audio is a little off from what it should be. This is only blatantly obvious in very few instances (like the end level music in Sonic 1).

I've run across a few games that don't work at all on the Retrogen and GenMobile (such as Super Street Fighter 2). The Nomad on the other hand will play any game, even Virtua Racing. The Nomad uses the same video and power cable as the model 2 Genesis and has a controller port that accepts any Genesis controller for player 2.

It's not perfect, as there is a slight green tint (very noticeable on blacks and yellows) and the viewing angle is not as good as the GenMobile. The GenMobile has an even smaller screen than the Retrogen, but it is brighter and has a wider viewing angle. It depends if you want a bigger screen or more brightness. <br /> <br />Sound - Winner: Nomad <br />Games sound as they should be on the Nomad, where as on the Retrogen and GenMobile they are off pitch.

The Retrogen and GenMobile have built-in rechargeable batteries which lasts much longer. The Retrogen comes with a charging cable that ends in a usb plug, which you can charge in any computer or device with a usb port. The GenMobile comes with a wall adapter that you plug into any wall outlet. They both have the same mini-usb port, so you can use the wall adapter on the Retrogen or usb cable on the GenMobile.

I own the Retrogen, GenMobile, and the Nomad and they all have their strengths and weaknesses.

I suspect the Retrogen and GenMobile were made in the same factories because they have the same compatibility with games, same sound issues, same build quality, and same “Firecore” menu.

Compatibility – Winner: Nomad

The Nomad has actual Genesis hardware inside, while the Retrogen and GenMobile use emulation. I’ve run across a few games that don’t work at all on the Retrogen and GenMobile (such as Super Street Fighter 2). The Nomad on the other hand will play any game, even Virtua Racing. The Nomad uses the same video and power cable as the model 2 Genesis and has a controller port that accepts any Genesis controller for player 2. The Retrogen and GenMobile don’t even have a controller port, making them 1 player only systems. They will play most Genesis games, but you might run into 1 or 2 that don’t work.

Screen – Winner: draw

The Nomad has the biggest screen but being technology from the mid-90′s, it is very hard to see. The Retrogen’s screen is smaller than the Nomad’s, but it’s a huge improvement in clarity. It’s not perfect, as there is a slight green tint (very noticeable on blacks and yellows) and the viewing angle is not as good as the GenMobile. The GenMobile has an even smaller screen than the Retrogen, but it is brighter and has a wider viewing angle. It depends if you want a bigger screen or more brightness.

Sound – Winner: Nomad

Games sound as they should be on the Nomad, where as on the Retrogen and GenMobile they are off pitch. Streets of Rage 2 just sounds awful on the Retrogen and GenMobile. The Retrogen and GenMobile also only output mono sound.

Controls – Winner: Nomad

The dpad and buttons on the Nomad are excellent. On the Retrogen and GenMobile the dpads don’t pivot and can be pressed in the center, which is annoying. The GenMobile’s dpad is actually made up of 2 separate pieces split diagonally. The buttons are ok. The dpads are the main problem. This is not a huge deal unless you are playing fighting games where precise movements are required.

Battery – Winner: Retrogen and GenMobile

The Nomad takes AA batteries and drains them in no time. The Retrogen and GenMobile have built-in rechargeable batteries which lasts much longer. The Retrogen comes with a charging cable that ends in a usb plug, which you can charge in any computer or device with a usb port. The GenMobile comes with a wall adapter that you plug into any wall outlet. They both have the same mini-usb port, so you can use the wall adapter on the Retrogen or usb cable on the GenMobile. The downside is that if and when the rechargeable batteries die, you won’t be able to replace them.

Portability – Winner: Retrogen and GenMobile

The Nomad is very big and heavy, while the Retrogen and GenMobile are a fraction of the size and weight. The Retrogen and GenMobile are very lightweight. They do have a cheapish feel.

Built-in Games – Winner: GenMobile

The Nomad doesn’t have any built-in games. The Retrogen has 20 built-in homebrew games, which are very boring and you’ll only play them once before getting tired of them. The GenMobile has 20 actual Genesis games built-in, which are much better.

Also, the GenMobile is licensed by Sega and has the Sega Genesis logos on the box (as well as a sticker on the unit, which can come off easily). The Retrogen is not licensed. You also get a wrist strap with the GenMobile. The GenMobile even has a better box than the Retrogen (it has magnets to hold the box closed instead of velcro).

Overall, the Retrogen feels like an older version of the GenMobile.

The GenMobile is a decent alternative to the Nomad, but you have to sacrifice a bit of sound/compatibility/controls for portability/battery life/screen quality.

Well, I was pretty excited to see this. I didn’t think that anything like this even exsisted. At Fifty dollars, who could say no! Well, let me tell you. Its not a TERRIBLE deal, but mine is already broken. I havent even had the thing a month. BECAREFUL when loading the cartridges into the slot, thats how mine quit. It wont turn on.

Once again, not a TERRIBLE deal, but only if you have fifty bucks to blow and caring hands.

Cool Features:

Plugs into television slot via AUX cables.

Doesnt require batteries, rechargable included.

Its something INNOVATIVE!

Good Battery Life.

Poor Features:

Too small.

Feels cheap.

Screen is too small.

All in all, I’d have to say….in the end…its probably not worth the money. Save a coulple bucks and buy a used Genesis Console.
