Works exactly as advertised.
Got this for my Raspberry Pi 4b and it loaded up with no issues. Controllers connected right away and were easy to map but just be sure to have a hot key mapped to exit out of games.There is a huge selection of systems and games. It has all the essential games for each system. So far everything runs smoothly and I have had no major issues yet. From what I have seen, only the N64 games can be problematic. They run but can lag a little and the audio is off too but that is because of the Pi limitations. Other than that, the games look good. The video quality is great and looks just like I remember unlike those preloaded flash sticks.The autosave is a little iffy but so far is not a real problem. The audio breaks up on the occasion with the acade games after loading where you leave off.Overall, the value is great, it user friendly and takes minutes to setup.

Very Easy to Set Up
I bought this as my old card crapped out. It is geared more towards the 90's and 00's era games , but also has some old arcade stuff which is cool too. My only issue is that several of the MYME games freeze up, but I don't think there is an issue with the card, I don't think my raspberry pie 3b+ can keep up. Excellent transition and music selections pre-installed and this is a plug-n-play deal. I'm over 50 and it was easy for me. Great purchase especially for the price!

Quick and easy setup
Super fast and easy to setup just plugged into my Raspberry Pi 3 and I was able to start playing games right away. It’s amazing to see quite the extensive list of games. Really enjoy getting to play all the retro games again. Thinking about getting another one for my Raspberry Pi 4. I would highly recommend if you are into Raspberry Pi and retro gaming this is the best collection I’ve ever seen.

Looks great if it worked...
I finally built my bar top 2-player arcade cabinet this week. I put this MicroSD in my Pi 4B and it boot up fine. After boot-up, things quickly went south.1) Cannot get my old X-Box controller to connect.2) I was able to reconfigure button input for player 1. My player 2 buttons don't respond.3) I've not been able to run any games. Every game for multiple systems I try just crash.To test my Pi and controls. I made a scratch build of RetroPie on a MicroSD I had laying around. I put a few game roms from different systems to test things. No problem getting my X-Box controller to sync, player 2 set-up and running the games.Things aren't a total loss, I copy a handful of Atari 2600 roms from the Sonicon MicroSD. The games I copied I worked fine.

Plug and Play
Works as advertised. You get a micro-sd card preloaded with thousands of games and Batocera OS which turns your raspberry Pi4 into a retro games console.Pros -* For me it was plug and play with a simple controller configuration of up front (Xbox 1 controller)* Pretty straight forward interface with games organized by system* Animated game previews (helpful for games you don't know)* Favorites - essential for curating a list of the 50 or so game you want to access quickly* Pretty helpful website with videos for updating to newest version, or loading your own ROMS.Cons* Was not able to use on-line system update. I think this is because the filesystem has just enough room for the OS. Manual update was not too bad once I realized that is the path to take. Do not bother deleting ROMS as it will not help. Only delete them if you need to make room for other games you want to load.* Audio occasionally drops out. Updating to the latest version seems to help but does not eliminate this. A restart clears this up.=====================================================Games -There are an overwhelming number. This card came with games for:Arcade / NES/Famicon/SNES (us/japan)/N64/GB/GBC/GBA/Sega Master System/Genesis/SG-1000/GameGear/Atari 2600/5200/7800. I believe it is preloaded with emulators for other systems as well.You will find a lot of your favorites but also some are missing. Maybe on one of the bigger cards? There are duplicates but they tend to be across systems and not in the same category. Not surprising since most consoles were driven by arcade ports. My favorite versions are sometime the console version.All in all I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

Plug and play!
I recently got an emulator SD card for my Raspberry Pi 4b retro console, and it's been fantastic. It was easy to set up and came pre-loaded with a great selection of classic games. The card performs flawlessly, providing smooth gameplay without any lag. Navigating through the games is simple, and being able to save my progress directly on the card is incredibly convenient. The only critique I have is that there is not enough space allocated to download updates, which can be a bit limiting. Despite this, the SD card has truly enhanced my retro gaming experience, making it a must-have for any enthusiast. Highly recommend!

Time saver
I had to purchase a new retro pie and my old card would not work on it. Since I now have a toddler I do not have the time to work on getting a new card all set up with all of the various emulators working correctly so I took the plunge and got this. This is set up excellently and I love the user interface! Had no problems getting it set up and for someone who doesn't really know anything about raspberry Pi's it was worth it for the time and frustration saved!
