To open them up, you need a special screwdriver. I bought this $11 kit and it's got stuff to open pretty much any retro cartridge or console. If you're in the business of collecting retro games, one of those screwdrivers is imperative, IMO.
The Super Retro Trio+ is around $75 on Amazon. The NES and Genesis work great, but the Super NES has bad audio, especially for the Super Gameboy (it's basically unplayable). I also have an RES+, which is essentially just the NES part of it, which is around $40. These don't have a 4:3 switch built in, which I hate because neither does my TV.
I prefer the Hyperkin Retron HD ($30) and the Supa Retron HD ($50) because they have a toggle switch to output in 4:3 or 16:9, but the Retron HD won't play some of the NES games that my RES+ will (but the Supa Retron does play the Super Gameboy just fine). Hyperkin also just put out a Mega Retron HD ($50) but I haven't bought one of those yet.
So it's all a balancing act with what clone consoles you like best. Luckily, I got most of mine with gift cards or as Christmas/Birthday presents, so I (mostly) didn't have to pony up my own cash.
