8-Bit Eric discusses the recent controversy involving Hyperkin's RetroN 5, a five-slot console that plays cartridges from the NES up to the GBA,. Some news has popped up saying that Hyperkin's latest product violates several licenses, according to the group behind open-source project RetroArch. Following up on a post from the group claims that the RetroN 5 incorporates the Genesis Plus GX and SNES9x Next emulators, both of which are filed under non-commercial licenses that restrict them from being used in a commercial product.
