I'm not too familiar with different snes models, but that doesn't really appear to have that yellow staining that the system is known for with age. I'm not really sure how much you're paying for it, but I got a retron 3 hd. it has hdmi, so I don't need to use composite like the normal retron 3, and it's not just like an emulator like the retron 5. I didn't realize it at first, but the retron 5 saves games to the console, so you have to export them to the cart. if something goes wrong and you didn't export the save, you're fucked. I haven't had the best of luck with retrons though, so if this one fails or breaks, I'm just going to get an snes, nes, and genesis, and swap them out. it won't matter much since I have a framemeister to upscale from 240p. it's what I use with the ps2 for psx games.
