The Retro GEM must be soldered into your gaming console. These modifications are advanced and require a high level of soldering skill. Never soldered before, do not fret! We have recommended installers that can do the modification for you. You can see our full list of installers at the bottom of the details page.
The basic can be upgraded to the Shiny at any time, even after installing into a console. Upgrades can be purchased here or through the GEM kits on screen display.
