How much are you willing to pay ?

Depending on the shape really.

I got II. 

So I only need I and III now.  Do you have those can you make a deal on both?

Thanks!

I don't think I've ever looked into one of those before.  Are you like saying if I wanted to drop a $100 I could buy one of those, take my one remaining non HDMI system I have right now (PC Engine Duo) jam the RCA cable into the side port, and pop an HDMI cable into the side of that thing and I get pure clean happy support with no loss and no lag other than what the TV could introduce itself?  I consider that a pretty fair deal I may just look into.

That said I wouldn't do what you did, I like my Super NT plenty, the GC2HDMI, the N64 is already UltraHDMI'd as is my top loader NES with its hi def kit too.  All my stuff is HDMI now outside of that and the PSOne+LCD combo on my desk, which seemingly could use that Retrotink thing too.  (Mind you I still have a SNES and NES set complete packed away in their boxes still, but I like the perks those FPGAs introduced.)

Regarding the retrotink:

I'm not a technical guy.  Do some research on the retrotink yourself to get total answers to your questions.  There are tons of youtube reviews and interviews(some with the creator of the thing who seems like a brilliant guy).  I do know this.  The retrotink adds no lag to your TV.

Everything else and random thoughts:

My retro gaming is Genesis and NES with the once a year or two SNES.  I found a sweet spot where I'm happy and I don't need those FPGA consoles .  They are not the real deal IMO and I was never totally happy with them.  Like you I also have a NES complete and packed away(dead mint).  I have various iterations of the Genesis packed away too.  I don't really care much for the SNES but there's one somewhere in the house.   I played the AVS for a good year and when I pulled out my NES it was like "ahhh that's it, that's what I miss!"  

I make due with what I can with the HDMI TVs in the house but I do have a CRT stored away.  I wish it was slightly smaller as to it's a hassle to move around.

Finding a sweet spot has been rough.  in the early 2000s I was a big time collector/hunter but a few years ago I sold most of my carts.  Now I find myself purchasing some back.  It's a strange hobby for me.

I had a Mega SG and sold it for pretty much what I paid for it.  

The money I did loose tho I chalk up to piece of mind and knowledge in knowing that I'm totally satisfied with an original Genesis plugged into HD Retrovision cables, into a retrotink, and into the HD TV we have in our TV room.   I also can grab a CRT from the basement if I need to get that original fix.

This then led me to actually selling my early Retro AVS I bought when they first released.  

I'm finding the retrotink2x to be the piece of equipment that allows me to continue to play my old consoles on HDTVs.  

Looking for carts only of the 3 original NES games. 

Looking for copies that are in great shape too.
