Very happy customer here :)

For PC USB-C GamePort adapter Sidewinder Retro joystic

Simple but effective packaging!
The adapter is working as expected, no issues whatsoever.

Now I'm finally able to use my old Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Steering Wheel with modern PCs :)

Works great !

For NEORAM 2Mb Battery Backed GEORam expansion for C64

Works great ! Fine build ! Buy a case on Jim Brains shop as the iComp case I tried first didnt quite fit, or get a 3d printed one !

Great product

For Roland MT-32 emulator Pi Hat mt32-pi midi mt32

I'm using it nearly every day. Reliable, brings back a lot of memories. Installation was easy enough. Many thanks.

Arrived after 6 weeks

For Roland MT-32 emulator Pi Hat mt32-pi midi mt32

The product works. Not much to comment on.
Seller communication could be better. Got a mail when it shipped, 5 days later.
I know, Tindie is not the big A. So the seller will not ship one day later, but an earlier confirmation mail would have been nice.

My shipping experience was not good, it took 6 weeks from Sweden to GERMANY, untracked.
And i had to ask at the post office for it. It appeared magically in my post box the day after i asked.
That's not the fault of the seller, more a general advice for other buyers!
I advise to take tracked.
And since i choose untracked because of the 5 € cheaper board compared to BulkyMIDI-32, i also advise to choose that.
Might come in handy and it just 5 bucks more.

Thank you!

For A314-CP amiga clockport pi interface A1200 m.m

The A314-CP is a magic little device for my Amiga that lets me open a window to the world of Linux right from my CLI. It's a wonderful co-processor to augment my Amiga, and no emulation or faking anything. Great seller, great comms, especially on Discord and great responses. Highly recommend.

2000/3000 RGB2HDMI CPLD version - Very good purchase

For CPLD AMIGA HDMI 2000 / 3000 for Raspberry Pi Zero

RetroFletch did an amazing job of this device, as is his norm (I have purchased other products from him).
This device looks simply beautiful and works great.

My only small comment would be that the description of the device with respect to how to add the firmware to the sdcard should be improved.
For instance, just put in a link to pointing directly to the required files.
This is not to say that the user won't find the proper files and info with the current description.

Nothing Went Wrong

For Amiga 3000 / 4000 CPU Card A3630 with 68030 25Mhz

Order and shipping no issues. This was purchased strictly to have a trouble-free CPU board for testing. "Nothing went wrong" is exactly what I was hoping for!

Ian | June 16, 2024

As desribed, good communication, packaged well

For BLACK Pistorm32 -Lite - A1200 accellerator pistorm

PiStorm32 Lite as described, works great. Very easy to install in your Amiga 1200 Trapdoor, fits perfectly, you just need some flexible HDMI to get the RTG video out of the Amiga.

Daniel | June 11, 2024

Very high quality work!

For Purple Pistorm32 -Lite A1200 accellerator pistorm

The build quality exceeds that of most "official" Amiga expansion providers. I should know because I have 23 Amigas for which I have shopped the planet. So far, I've purchased three items from RetroFletch: 2 PiStorm 32 lite CM4 adapters with I/O breakouts and this Purple PiStorm 32. Everything has been packed and shipped thoughtfully. I've ordered from many places and spent a lot of money to receive expansions that were not even half the quality. In the future, I'll check to see if RetroFletch builds the expansion I want first.

Jeff | May 23, 2024

Great!

For 128mb Amiga A4000 Z3 FastRAM - GottaGoFaZt3r

Excellent and easy to install upgrade. Made a big different for my Amiga 3000. Seller is very responsive to inquiries.

Thank you!

Masaki | May 23, 2024

Great product!

For PC USB-C GamePort adapter Sidewinder Retro joystic

It took about a week from Sweden to Japan. Very fast delivery.
Great transaction.
Sidwinder 3D Pro is now available on my computer. Thank you !

Josip | May 10, 2024

Great seller

For Amiga A600 RGBtoHDMI adapter

Great seller fast shipment, did not tested yet, but should be ok.
Product is packed excellent
Thanks and looking forward for future cooperation.

Michael | April 4, 2024

Excellant!!

For PC USB-C GamePort adapter Sidewinder Retro joystic

The shipping time to the USA was good, and the product was very well packed.
I emailed the seller several times, and he replied quickly.
I rated documentation as 1 only because none is included, and the device is
plug and play, and not difficult at all to figure out.
I would definitely recommend him to other prospective buyers!!

Response from RetroFletch | April 4, 2024

There is a link to the documentation page in the product description but i have now also added external links to this page that is easier to find.
There are also the switches positions listed on the product page from the github page and thats the only documentation most people would need to get it going, its a verry simple device.
All my products contain links to documentation only, printing it out on paper would just add extra waste and cost :)

Daniel | March 26, 2024

Top quality builds. 100% suggested!

For Pistorm32 CM4-Adapter Board + IO-Board + Cable

Top-quality build and RetroFletch are synonyms. I like it so much that I had to order another and grab PiStorm32 lite in purple while at it. Everything worked 100% on the unit and was packed well for the trip. Despite the better build quality than other places, the price is excellent. I have 30 years of professional experience in electronics, and I build expansions. Still, the quality is excellent, and the price is so reasonable I'd rather leave it up to RetroFletch's superior skills.

Harry | March 11, 2024

A nice solution to provide your Amiga with an HDMI output

For CPLD AMIGA HDMI 2000 / 3000 for Raspberry Pi Zero

Easy installation in an Amiga 2000. To get the setup right you will have to look at a few GitHub projects, but in the end it is self-explanatory. Shipping took a little longer than I personally expected, but that in itself is not a problem. I also ordered the Amiga 500 version together. I still have to install and test that.

Justin | Jan. 2, 2024

Exactly what I needed

For Roland MT-32 emulator Pi Hat mt32-pi midi mt32

This board is the perfect combination of parts and ports for my mt32-pi setup. I couldn't ask for anything more!

As an FYI for anyone else who might be buying a new Pi 3A+ to run mt32-pi, there's a new hardware revision that causes an issue with the bootloader - I left notes in the mt32-pi troubleshooting wiki page to help fix the problem.

Derek | Dec. 6, 2023

Fantastic Synth!

For Roland MT-32 emulator Pi Hat mt32-pi midi mt32

I'm really happy with this little synth hat - with the mt32pi hooked up to my Mac, I can now keep my Roland MT-32 safe and hooked up to my Retro Gaming PC and not move it around my study when I want to play MIDI from my Mac.

Im really loving having GM/GS Midi and Soundfont options too - It's just perfect for DosBox!

Randall | Nov. 29, 2023

The Pi1541 is a cool addition to my C64 and C128.

For PI1541 Option B with case - 1541 emulator for C64

The build quality and finish are realy good and it worked flawlessly with my Bread Bin and C64C. It looks good sitting alongside my 64s and is easy to operate.

I would definitely recommend this if you a looking for a storage solution for your Commodore 8Bit systems.

Sebastian | Nov. 26, 2023

Great product and quality, took a while to deliver.

For CDTV RGBtoHDMI expansion - Perfect Sharp hdmi Out

I think the board is really good quality. Fits perfectly with an absolutely self explaining installation. I'm having it running with a Raspi Zero WH at the moment, will switch to a Raspberry Pi Zero v1.3 soon.

The resulting picture is as great as expected, well, there went a lot of time and experience into the RGB2HDMI project and of course the CDTV version. Before that I used a VGA variant together with OSSC, which was fine. but this one is obviously superior.

Shipping took it's time, I consider Retrofletch as a hobbyist like everyone else here, so it's absolutely okay. Packaging was fine.

Will buy again, recommended.

Pablo | Nov. 21, 2023

Amazing Product

For BulkyMIDI-32 MT-32 emulator for retro PC and more

The Bulky Midi-32 is truly a fantastic piece of work. The unit is really well built and the soldering looks great. In my case, I just followed the instructions and videos the creator has on the internet and it was really a breeze to configure and set up (and I'm nothing but a total newbie). The videos are quite informative for someone like me who has basically no idea at all and I enjoyed the seller's sense of humour. The thing worked perfectly from the beginning so nothing to complain here either. Everything looks and feels rock solid.

My only complain is that the seller marked the item as sent a few days before he actually did so I was left in the dark for a while. I had to write to Tindie customer service and a couple of days later everything was solved. The item arrived well packed and protected.

Honestly, I would buy again from this seller, but be warned that, reading some other comments, I was not the first who had this small inconvenience. However, I never felt scammed at all. I just wished things had been different regarding this issue. Also, it must be said that, after receiving the parcel, the seller was accesible and answered my questions really quickly.

Overall, great product. 100% recommended. You will really enjoy it.

Nicely made and arrived much quicker than I expected!

For Roland MT-32 emulator Pi Hat mt32-pi midi mt32

So this has been bought because I just fancied having a play with MIDI audio - I'm 52 and didn't have the money (or the talent) to do it when the MT32 (et-al) came out and I find the idea of emulating the MT32 on a Pi to be temptingly perverse ... I'm sure I'll probably end up buying a few of the actual original physical synth modules but for now the plan is to have a play with this emulated version.

The SD Card was easy enough to create once you realise that you don't grab the Git page and use the SDCARD folder to make the Boot SD Card as that won't boot ... you need the ZIP from the releases and then that will work no problem.

It would be handy to know *EXACTLY* which settings need to be changed in the config files but TBH it's not rocket science so with nothing more than a little bit of application it's pretty easy and obvious to find out what needs to be set.

Now, I'm sure you'll have read the reviews first so all I'm going to say is when I placed my order I was expecting a week or so for arrival - sometimes stuff goes wrong or gets lost or, lets be frank, we're all human so sometimes stuff simply doesn't get done so the one review grumbling about delivery times I took note of but it didn't in itself put me off (and hopefully it won't you too) - people are human and sh*t can just happen ... all I'm going to say is my board turned up after two or three days which I thought was pretty damn good!

Construction is solid, soldering is tidy, it would be nice to be able to take an S/PDIF or AES digital audio feed out of the board as I have some *REALLY* nice DACs here, or maybe onboard DC-to-DC power for the Pi so you can use a 9 or 12v DC PSU rather than a micro USB PSU but really that's being picky and are a "would be nice to have" rather than "it should really have these and is therefore lacking" ...

I'm happy - looking forward to having a play!

Gunnar | Oct. 26, 2023

Excellent!

For C64 JoyKEY - DB9 + USB mechanical controller

This really is a nice item I wanted to have for a long time. Now I do and all I can say is that the handling of my purchasement was excellent in every way. The seller's communication is outstanding and shipping is very quick. Also a little custom wish was handled very well. Thank you a thousand times! :)

Serhii | Oct. 20, 2023

Card and execution are both awesome

For PicoGus - Gravis UltraSound Emulation Adlib tandy

Card is great. Red capacitors and jumpers are a really nice touch. Emulates GUS in all demos i've tried, but native Gravis utils doesn't recognize it for some reason. Signal quality is perfect for my ears. Emulation wise - sound is somewhat differs from real GUS, that's expected. For me it's like loudness and spectrum are somewhat off (some instruments are not blended that perfect, and spectrum is shifted high, but maybe that's me).
Wish it has a line-in, so i could route SB16 output into it.
Great product, thanks!

Nils | Oct. 18, 2023

Perfect!

For BLACK Pistorm32 -Lite - A1200 accellerator pistorm

I‘m just amazed by the PiStorm32. Just like the CM4-Adapter board the build-quality is just excellent and it worked right out of the box.
I can‘t recommend RetroFletch enough!
Very fast shipping!

Nils | Oct. 18, 2023

Excellent item!

For Pistorm32 CM4-Adapter Board + IO-Board + Cable

The build-quality of the PiStorm32 CM4-Adapter board is just excellent and it works perfectly.
Very fast shipping too!
Thanks a lot!

Alexis | Oct. 2, 2023

Well built to spec

For BulkyMIDI-32 MT-32 emulator for retro PC and more

Came packaged nicely. I'm really happy it had posts for mounting the Raspberry Pi for good support. Built super well.

Emil | Sept. 27, 2023

Awesome adapter - keeping my Sidewinder Pro alive!

For PC USB-C GamePort adapter Sidewinder Retro joystic

After many years I am finally able to use my Sidwinder 3D Pro via USB and with some of my alltime favourite games again. Never thought to see this day. Awesome work. Thank you!

Matthew | Sept. 25, 2023

I'm very satisfied, good price, works great.

For PC USB-C GamePort adapter Sidewinder Retro joystic

I found the github for this usb adapter online and decided I needed one, but I lack the ability to make it myself. I found this listing, signed up for Tindie and a week later I have my part here in the midwestern United States all the way from Sweden. Works great, thank you.

Richard | Sept. 21, 2023

Great product, great experience!

For Roland MT-32 emulator Pi Hat mt32-pi midi mt32

The device is impressive, the packaging was great, the shipping was quick, the price more than fair. A+!

David | July 18, 2023

Great product, thanks.

For PicoGus - Gravis UltraSound Emulation Adlib tandy

Working fine on my setup. Great and high quality product. Recommended for everyone who want use a cheaper Advanced Gravis Ultrasound solution.

Bernhard | June 9, 2023

Brought my Sidewinder 3D Pro back to life

For PC USB GamePort adapter Sidewinder Retro joystick

Nothing more to add - works great.
I tested other Gameport devices, too - but I only really care about the 3D Pro :)
Thanks!

Omar | May 25, 2023

Great item

For ClumsyMidi Mt-32 emulator mt32-pi midi mt32

The Mt-32 Pi is working great with my setup, I have used it with a vintage PC and modern PC via USB. The shipping was super fast to the US, I got it in about a week. Great seller, I would buy from again.

Steven | April 30, 2023

Doing God's Work

For Extended AMIGA HDMI CPLD 500 for Raspberry Pi Zero

Clearly a small operation but you wouldn't guess it from the quality of the product. Response to messages same day (barring international time differences, of course...). I would order again.
