Please click here for specific mainboard revision compatibility.
The Retro GEM must be soldered into your gaming console. These modifications are advanced and require a high level of soldering skill. Never soldered before, do not fret! We have recommended installers that can do the modification for you.
You can see our full list of installers at the bottom of the details page.
The basic can be upgraded to the Shiny at any time, even after installing into a console. License upgrades can be purchased here.
Please see the Retro GEM documentation to learn more.
The optional spare flex isn't required and is already included in the console kit. But sometimes mishaps happen during the install and an extra flex will give you a second attempt.
Each console kit is priced differently and will be available for purchase separately in the future. They are priced differently as each console can have varying specific setups.
