Powered via the SNES controller port, it supports multiple controllers including 8Bitdo’s lineup, PS3/PS4, Wii Remote, and Wii U Pro, with upgradeable firmware and multiplayer capabilities. Compatible with Windows and MacOS for emulation, it revitalizes classic gaming with modern convenience and versatility. ## Description Product Description Experience the SUPER NES. Wirelessly. Compatible with all 8bitdo, PS4, Wii Remote, WiiU Pro Pad and PS3 controller. With the Retro Receiver, not only can you play your SNES wirelessly with any 8bitdo controller or arcade stick: but you can even use wireless next gen controllers, too. A joint effort with Analogue NT, 8Bitdo's newest product is clearly aimed for a very specific demographic, however, it doesn't just end there! For those who grew up during the 8-bit era of the Nintendo Entertainment System aka the birth of mainstream console gaming, you'll instantly recognize the seven pinned head on the Retro Receiver For SNES. While wireless controllers for the SNES already exist, 8Bitdo's bluetooth dongle aligns itself with the company's desire to give gamers more options; not just content with being able to connect all of 8Bitdo controllers to an NES wirelessly, they expanded functionality to allow the use of PS3, PS4, Wii Remote, and even Wii U Pro controllers to the mix! Powered by the SNES controller port, this plug and play dongle will let people play all the classics again, especially if heritage controllers have their wires affected by age. Analogue Nt and 8Bitdo's collaboration also comes equipped with a built-in CPU and FLASH memory chip with upgradeable firmware, and even offers mulitplayer for two to four players. And true to their style, 8Bitdo has made sure that the Retro Receiver also supports Windows and MacOSX (X-INPUT) via the built-in USB port, making emulation gaming another option with the same amount of controller selection. The Retro Receiver also supports third party retro devices as well, so long as they have an SNES controller port, making it compatible with the Analogue Nt and aftermarket retro consoles. Tech Specs: System Compatibility - Original SNES consoles (all models) - Analogue Nt - All systems with an SNES-style controller port Controller Compatibility - All 8Bitdo controllers and arcade sticks - PS3, PS4 - Wii Mote, Wii U Pro Special Features - Additional buttons mapped to turbo on all controllers - Compatible with two-four Retro Receivers for multiplayer player games - All 8Bitdo controllers are compatible with Mac/PC, iOS, Android and many next gen systems Connectivity - Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Class 2 - 2.402Ghz2.48Ghz Power - DC Power supply 5V, 100mA(powers directly from the SNES controller port). Set Contains: 1 Game Disc Review: This dongle allows me to use all my 8bitdo controllers and my 8bitdo arcade stick with my RetroN 5 to play any of the supported games on any system. Does exactly what was advertised. Exactly what I needed. Very easy to connect my controllers, just press the button on the dongle, then the connect button on the controller, and it connects in seconds. Not noticing any input lag. I will likely buy a second one for player 2. Review: The SNES Retro Receiver does one thing and it does it well. I've been playing all my old SNES games with my SF30 Pro and having a grand old time. No trouble pairing, and no noticeable latency. Works great with my Dual Shock 4 as well. Makes me wish I could plug a Retro Receiver into my PS2 - think about it, 8Bitdo! Recent firmware versions seem to have improved Bluetooth connectivity. Previously I had to be extremely careful about where I was holding my controller, and random moments of stuck input just ruined my chances of playing 2D platformers with any precision. Now, I would confidently call this platformer-ready. I just can't hold my controller too close to my PC while paired with the 8bitdo dongle, that still gives me trouble every time. It's a compromise I can live with though. If you have one of these and you haven't updated the firmware on it lately, or ever, get to 8bitdo.com and download the latest version. ## Features - The Retro Receiver is a Bluetooth dongle.
