I'm curious if the Super Retro Trio works with the Retro Advance Adapter for S-Video. Bonus question: Does this system allow you to use Genesis pad for SNES games?
Yep. You can use a Genesis pad for SNES/NES or GBA with the adapter. You can also do the opposite and use a SNES pad on the Genesis side. There's a switch on the front of the console next to the control ports that will let you switch between them, with the switch you can leave both a Genesis and SNES pad plugged into the P1 port and flip between them with it. It probably doesn't work with a 3 button pad. On a six button select is mapped to mode and X=L Z=R.
