Sonicon Preloaded RetroPie Emulator MicroSD Card w/DC/PS1/NES/SNES/Sega/GB/Atari/Arcade/N64 for Raspberry Pi3/3B+/4/4B+/400 (64GB, for Raspberry Pi4, 4B+, 400)

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.

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!

Can you insert a microSD card into a slot? Got a Raspberry Pi? Then you are good to go. The image installed on this card is extremely simple to use. If you can insert the card into the Raspberry Pi card slot and plug in the usb-c power cord, then you have all the technical skills needed to start enjoying some retro-gaming! Even if you have the skills to source all of your own ROMs and Emulators and then configure everything, the number of hours it would take to setup something this turn key is absurd. The price of this card is well worth it for the 100s of hours that is saves you.Full disclosure, I bought the card and initially it worked fine. Then, one day, instead of 10K games there were only thirteen. I reached out to the support number via text and within a few minutes we had figured out what happened. I tried to run an update, the update glitched and boom, games gone. That issue is not on the builder of the card though. I should have backed up my stuff. Even so, within 24 hours of first reporting a problem, I had another card on the way. Moral of the story, you don't need to update, but if you do decide to, backup first.Buy with confidence.

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.

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.

it works great and has tons of games. only if ya want the dc games youre gonna wanna get the 512gb one at least, which ill be upgrading too shortly. worth it for the retro. And its awesome to have it set up out the box, my pi4 has life again.

Great for my retro gaming needs lol

I'll lead with the key point -> there is nothing here you can't do for free with any SD card, but there is a convenience to just popping the card in and starting up and playing.There is some convenience to the fact that it is basically all set up for you out of the box and you'd pay maybe $10 for a new SD card anyway. I don't really regret buying it, but it's not really necessary.After a couple days of use, I ended up setting up Batocera on a larger SD card so I could add some other systems with larger game files. One thing I don't like about the Sonicon configuration is that the "East" button (B on an Xbox controller) ends up being the primary button instead of A. On my fresh setup of Batocera, it uses A and I definitely prefer that. No idea where this is configured in Batocera.

I spent a couple of days trying to load games into our RetroPie setup and was very over it, very quickly. I ordered this little preconfigured MicroSD card and popped it in and everything is done for me. I am super happy. All the games we've played so far are excellent quality. The setup is perfect. I couldn't be happier. This exceeded my expectations. Well done team for putting this together.

If you have some spare time, don't buy this and just do it yourself.Arrived dead and customer support never responded.Batocera has online instructions to do it yourself.
