RetroTap: The Ultimate Power Solution for Multiple Retro Consoles
For retro gaming enthusiasts who maintain collections of classic consoles, managing the array of power bricks and tangled cables is a longstanding frustration.
Vintage systems like the NES, Super NES, Sega Genesis, and PC Engine each require unique, bulky adapters that can quickly overrun a power strip and create a chaotic cluster around your beloved CRT display.
Recognizing this widespread issue among the retro gaming community, Kytor Industries has introduced a transformative accessory: the RetroTap.
RetroTap is engineered as a modern, centralized power solution tailored specifically for retro hardware.
Instead of relying on numerous aging wall adapters, users can power up to eleven classic gaming systems from one streamlined device.
According to Kytor Industries, RetroTap employs integrated LC filtering and overcurrent protection to provide safe, ultra-low ripple, and stable power, essential for preserving the integrity and performance of original hardware.
The unit itself is housed in a premium injection-molded enclosure, reflecting the developer’s commitment to build quality and reliability.
The device, priced at $59.99, features an extensive selection of output ports—including five 5.5x2.1mm center-negative, four 4.8x1.7mm center-positive, one 6.5x3.0mm center-positive, and a USB-C 5V 4A output for charging controllers, accessories, or powering devices like MiSTer FPGA.
RetroTap requires a compatible power supply unit (PSU), with several options available—such as reusing one from a PS2 Slim—and includes custom-made cables that fit a wide array of classic systems.
Compatibility is a key advantage: RetroTap supports more than 45 different retro consoles and add-ons, spanning Nintendo’s NES, Super NES, Famicom, Famicom Disk System, and Virtual Boy, Sega’s Master System, Genesis, Mega Drive, and Game Gear, as well as platforms like the TurboGrafx-16, PC Engine, Jaguar, Neo Geo AES, and accessories including the MiSTer FPGA and MiSTER Pi.
This extensive compatibility makes RetroTap a universal solution for collectors and hardware preservationists.
Kytor Industries faced significant hurdles during RetroTap’s development.
As explained by the founder, the introduction of tariffs in 2025 proved “extremely disruptive,” and the acquisition of RetroAccess—another company specializing in retro gaming peripherals—demanded considerable time and resources.
Despite juggling additional professional commitments, Kytor ensured the product met rigorous safety standards, successfully obtaining FCC, CE, and UKCA compliance from an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory.
"The RetroTap has passed all necessary third-party conformity testing," states Kytor, underscoring the commitment to quality and user safety.
Interested customers can register for updates on the next RetroTap availability.
Notably, pre-orders are not being accepted, but Kytor confirms the product will not be a limited run, providing reassurance that production will continue to meet demand even if initial batches sell out.
For retro gaming fans seeking to achieve a clean, organized setup without sacrificing authenticity, RetroTap emerges as a forward-thinking solution—consolidating power, reducing clutter, and supporting a broad spectrum of legendary consoles on a single platform.
