Product works great!

For PC USB-C GamePort adapter Sidewinder Retro joystic

I bought this to revive my Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Wheel. First experience on Tindie.com

Delivery was quick. Packing was decent enough.

The product works great. The only small issue I had was lack of documentation when I needed to update the necroware firmware through Arduino IDE. I had no knowledge of the exact board/MCU used, which is relevant to compile and upload it (especially the voltage level).

I found out most by researching online and using my mobilephone to inspect the board and the seller quickly confirmed the hardware specs.

My old wheel works now on Windows 10 and Linux!

Pistorm32

For Purple Pistorm32 -Lite A1200 accellerator pistorm

I would not recommend using RetroFletch!!

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

I will tell you all the facts in my results.

At first, one week after ordering, nothing has been heard from them. They only contacted me once, a week after I placed the order, saying they were busy.
Four days later, i.e., 11 days after the order was placed, I contacted him to check on the status of the shipment, but RetroFletch still has not seen the message now.
Tindle Customer Service also sent a response request to RetroFletch, but RetroFletch has not responded.
Eventually, in accordance with The Tindie Guarantee, the shipment was finally made just as I was about to request a refund.
I had to wait almost 3 weeks for my order to be shipped. Because of international shipping, I will have to wait a few more days for the package to arrive, and in total it will take almost a month.
During that time, the only contact I received was once, and it was just "busy." This is nothing but the worst service level. I have used many different services in the past, but this is probably the lowest level of service I have ever received.
It is so lousy as a response to delays. This is in stark contrast to the speedy and gentlemanly response from Tindle Customer Service.
I'm very very angry for this near fraudulent and extremely rude response. I feel that I have wasted my time and money.
Based on these results, I think that the majority of the positive reviews for RetroFletch are fake.
Being such a seller, I don't think the product RetroFletch is selling is worthy of recognition.

I won't say anything bad about it. If your order has not been shipped after 2 weeks, you have try to consider it a scam and ask for a refund. Waiting is just a waste of time and money.

Please be careful in everyone's choice of sellers to avoid sad results like mine.
At the very least, I would never choose RetroFletch again.

It's not fair!!
Do you know how long I waited when you said you would send it immediately?
If you had a reason, you should have specifically asked me to wait this long at the beginning. But you failed to do so!
If you wanted me to be fair, you should have done something reasonable from the beginning, but you didn't do it!
If this is the case, it is no wonder that you are suspected of being a fraud, isn't it?
If you continue to be unreachable, it is only natural to be suspicious.

Response from RetroFletch | March 5, 2023

Well i understand that you are upset about delays and bad communications, i was sick for a period and had other issues that made me fall verry much behind.
You did recieve your item all as descibed, just a bit late.
I had alot of orders to deal with and my focus was with sending stuff out so mail and such had to wait, people care more about getting their items usually..
Accusing me of being fraudulent or using fake reviews just because you had to wait longer then normal for your items are not fair.
Im just one person and when other things in life gets in the way there is noone to pick up the slack, and people have to wait.. its a verry niche part of retro computing and all is built by hand... cleaned by hand, packed by hand, it takes a lot of time and i can not make up for lost time easily.

Absolutely stunning product and build quality

For RED Pistorm32 -Lite - A1200 accellerator pistorm

Ordered 6 days ago, I received my pistorm32_lite today.
The package itself was stiff enough to stand some rough handling
Inside it was well packed and protected.

The pistorm itself is an ingenious master piece made by Claude. In Retroflesh's hand this master piece meets an as well talented guy which is assembeling it.
The build quality is just amazing. The connector is in perfect angle. It really looks like industry made. All soldering is in really good quality
Screws and spacer fit perfectly and the 3D printed GPIO Protector ensures a perfect isolation from the keyboard.

Needless to say that the first run was a piece of cake. Insert a preconfigured sd card, hook the pistorm with the pi in the trapdoor. Here we go.

What should I say? I cannot imagine what could have been done better. This is why: 5 stars in all disciplines

Great device! Seller really knows how to put these together

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

First: the quality of the item is amazing. There's no sloppiness on the board at all - all the work was done well and you can tell it was tested well.

I got the BulkyMIDI-32 MT-32 emulator - and the seller followed the instructions perfectly. At my first run, I was able to get the MT32 going (minus a bad error on my part along the way).

It's such a fun device to play with. I have an Amiga, so there's not a lot of games for the mt32 on it, but I do look forward to using the USB interface and having this on my raspberry pi.

I was able to fit the Raspberry Pi 4 in there - a 2GB module. It was tight for a second, but it fit just fine and I love it so far. (my local store only had pi4's in stock - so 3A wasn't available for me).

I'd buy from him again, the quality alone was worth knowing I would be getting some good quality builds.

Stephen | Jan. 26, 2023

Works great!

For PiSTORM 2K for A2000 amiga 2000 Pistorm2k purple

Awesome build quality. Fast shipping! Also, I can confirm that this board works great with a Raspberry Pi B+

Daniel Ossipoff | Jan. 20, 2023

Great product

For Extended AMIGA HDMI CPLD 500 for Raspberry Pi Zero

The product is very nice. It gives ample room for accelerators. The PCB itself and soldering is very pro.
Replaces an earlier revision direct adapter I have, which has issues with sparkling pixels in some games. This one doesn't.
Had some issues with shipping and communication with seller, but sorted it out and all is good.

Ravn | Jan. 2, 2023

Just as advertised!

For Pistorm600 for Amiga 600 - A600 pistorm 600

The card was delivered within a reasonable time, well packed and worked out of the box.
A plus for the perfect fit in my machine thanks to the groove cut in the socket.
Not to mention the included perfect mounting gear!

The Pistorm project is well documented online so did not miss anything in the manual.

A note to buyers unfamiliar with the Pistorm, the A600 is as of writing not fully supported, and I was unable to get the RTG modes working.
However, changing to plain emu68 solved this and made the machine even faster!

Dariusz | Dec. 29, 2022

Good work!

For Extended AMIGA HDMI CPLD 500 for Raspberry Pi Zero

PiSTORM 2K for A2000 from RetroFletch. Fantastic purchase

For PiSTORM 2K for A2000 amiga 2000 Pistorm2k black

Received my product in less than 2 weeks; which is quite good/fast considering it is being sent across continents and was stopped by customs for a day or 2.
The item worked fine from the start. The circuit board looks great.

RetroFletch was awesome in answering any questions I had.
I would recommend buying from him.

As a suggestion, it would be beneficial for RetroFletch to include some plastics spacers, screws and nuts to hold the raspberry pi in place (prevent it from 'rocking') as I am certain many buyers will not have these.

Great product, additional guidance may be useful

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

If you are interested in adding an MT-32 to your vintage games environment MT32-pi is definitely the way to go, as it is difficult to source a real MT-32 or equiv.
Regarding configuration the following how-to is also a must see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZjPVXsrWyg

Excellent quality. Very happy with my purchse

For Extended AMIGA HDMI CPLD 500 for Raspberry Pi Zero

Installed my RGB2HDMI Longboy adapter in an A500 and it works perfect. Great quality build using machined pins rather than some less suitable square pins that require excess force to insert into Denise socket. Will buy again.

Good cheap product and works very well.

For A1200 / A600 CF adapter double dual disks | Amiga

I put this little adapter into my Commodore Amiga 600 with another CF adapter and had 2 CF Cards installed. HDToolbox recognized them both. No problems in performance. I was able to install all my WHDLoad games with no issues. Fits perfectly against the Furia accelerator card. Thankyou for a wonderful unique product.
