I bought a RetroN5...

...and I just read it now supports loading IPS patches via the SD card.  How awesome is this?  What a great way to play a variety of RPGs and my ROM hacks without having to do repros or getting a flash cart. 

Anyone else have a RetroN5 and tried this?

Success.  Oh, and by the way these new RetroN5 units with the better hardware quality are awesome.  Worth what I spent for it.

I just ordered one. Can't wait to play hacks on my room TV since I don't really like being in front of my computer too long to play on emulators...

On my list in the next few weeks:

ROTDS 1.2
BNW 1.6
Pandora's Box
RS3 English translation

Any other good hacks to suggest (RPGs)? I own GBA and SNES carts, but with your trick we can play any hack as long as we have one cart of the said system...

I would check out some of the Genesis translations, like Langrisser II for example.  Also do not forget to check out the Romancing SaGa 1 translation! 

And you are correct, as long as the cart is from the same system it will work.  I'm going to run another test to see if I can figure out how to get Master System games to work without a Power Base converter.
