Sonicon Preloaded RetroPie Batocera Emulator MicroSD Card w/28 Systems, 12000+ Games Loaded, Master System/Genesis/Atari/Arcade for Raspberry Pi, Plug Play (128GB, for Raspberry Pi 4/4b+/400)

It was plug and play and worked great with all the games I tested. There were over 1200 games like advertised and the splash art and video for each game really helped find the games I wanted to play. The search feature is fantastic and saves a lot of time and you can add your games to a favorites list.

This took all the pain and frustration away! It is the easiest way to get your roms working on the Pi! It just works and is simple and easy to use! Definitely recommend you give this a go but follow the instructions as certain Raspberry Pis are not powerful enough to run so whichever one is recommended for the card/games, go with that one.

I’ve built my own Retropie machines in the past and hadn’t heard of Batocera before. It’s basically an entire OS made for retro gaming. The curation done for this card is phenomenal and there was a lot of care taken to make sure things required zero configuration. Even the safe shutdown and reset scripts were evidently installed! The list of games is absolutely enormous - I haven’t found one game that’s not on here! The videos, thumbnails, controller mappings, and even the original manuals are all here. If you’re thinking of trying retro gaming, get this card! Thank me later.

When you go to the sonic on website it has a choice to pick which version of pi you have and I picked pi5 and it took me to Amazon and sent me one for pi4. It doesn’t work

I bought the "Vilros Raspberry Pi 4 8GB Retro Gaming Kit" to go with this. Assembly took about 5 minutes and everything works great! Just had one minor issue with the HDMI cable not wanting to work but after a couple restarts and unplugging/replugging the cable, it worked fine.I took one star off because the N64 games don't run at full speed. There's a tiny bit of slowdown, just enough to be noticeable, so I would keep my expectations in check. Everything before that era works great, though. I can't imagine the RetroPie card that has Playstation games on it would run well so I'd avoid paying the extra for that one.One other negative point is that a bunch of consoles have a "hacks" folder for ROM hacks but a LOT of the listings just use the original game name and description (or they don't have a description at all), which means you can't tell what the hack is without playing it. There are like 20 copies of "Super Mario World" and no way to tell if any of them are worth playing. A little disappointing considering the overwhelming amount of effort put into the rest of the package. Every single game has meta data consisting of box art, a description, a gameplay demo video, artwork and more. Overall, it was well worth paying for this card rather than setting it all up myself.

Has a lot of games! Works well. Haven’t had any issues with it.

After tons of research and testing 2 other pre-built retro game systems looking for Zelda, I bought this software and made an awesome retro pie console. It was so easy to put the few parts together. I substituted a custom case that looks likes a mini nes, see picture.The software is plug and play. I just put the SD Card into the slot and turned on the RetroPie. The controllers were already button-mapped so I just needed to figure out what I wanted to play. Zelda was the game I was looking for and this system has a lot of versions to choose from. They even have hacked versions with alternate characters. The same goes with some other games. You can't go wrong with this purchase. Stop wasting your time shopping and buy it already. You'll thank me.

I’ve tried in the past to setup a raspberry pi as an emulation gaming rig. I’m not super Linux savvy, and it was a pain. This made it so much easier. Basically just put the SD in, power on, follow the prompts. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to go down the emulation route.
