128 GB Retropie SD Card - Retro Classics with Video Previews for Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+

I had a different product from this company and it had about 6500 games on it and I enjoyed it so much I thought I'd upgrade to the 15,000 one. let me tell you...too many games. I spent 6 hours just picking out the ones I knew to put into my favorites folder. I love that most of the games have a little video on them and not just a picture. The videos that did not work I just switched them back to a picture. Great product. Just plug in and play. I had to tweek some of the games so they would work right and configuring the controls for some are a bit tricky. But all in all I give this product a 5 star rating. Buy with confidence. and above all...back up your disk. I put this chip in my Aracde1up Street Fighter addition and it works great because it has the right amount of buttons. :)

Yes, you can get all this content for free. But how much do you value your time? This collection not only has 11,000 games, yes with some duplication, but also has introductory video, images, and a short write up. You can do this all for free, but I think the cost is well worth the saved 100+ hours of work. It even comes with good instructions for a RP newbie to back up the SD card. I'm an IT expert who builds my own computers and knows Linux well. I'm sure I could create this same configuration, but my time is worth more to me. Highly recommended!

Product is great. Sent me directions and a samsung 128 gb sd card. The box art is cool. Menu boards are little plain and bland but it's ok. Games work good. Some games dont work like people say but most are weird games nobody plays. Has all the major games. Installed this for my arcade 1 up project in raspberry pie3b plus. To do all this yourself just takes up too much time, nice to get all the games and art that's plug and play.

Turns out that in order for mine to work, you have to turn on your TV before powering on the Pi - it automatically senses the resolution of the TV and sets the display accordingly. So, if you power up everything with a power strip like I was doing, the Pi turns on first, then I turn on the TV, and the display didn't work.Once I turned on the TV first, it started up normally and worked great! Once I got it started up, I was able to set the resolution to my TV manually and now it starts up normally every time.But the card itself is as advertised - tons of roms that work great!

Don’t buy this product look elsewhere, no support from seller and miss information buying product. Works and then doesn’t work, very unreliable product for the money, also, claims to have many games but some are Chinese and in different languages making them useless if you can’t read the text and some don’t work and multiple duplicates of same game under various systems- adding to the library count. My first and last review. Avoid.

Retro Pie preloaded with Roms. Even came with instructions on how to properly back up the SD card so you can safely make a backup before the actual install. It will take time to restore depending on the speed of your system, but that's only while doing a restore. As for the performance of the Retro Pie card I'm using the Raspberry Pi 3 and it works fine. There's a lot of options and a quick youtube search or google search will help with any technical adjustments you'll need to make for your set up. This had a ton of emulators, even the Virtual Gameboy. Be sure to do your research on setup and you'll really save on this step. The time cost of assembling Retro as an image and trying to populate with Roms is very time consuming. This will save you a ton of time googling, downloading, extracting etc.

Don't expect much support from the seller. I emailed them because my controller could not be recognized. He replied that he wasn't familiar with the controller and to search YouTube for an answer. I emailed two more times but never heard from him again.He sells prebuilt systems in addition to this SD card. My guess is that the card is configured and locked down for his prebuilt system and its controllers. I understand this, when you sell a system you don't want the buyer messing it up and it's a DYI hobby. Regardless, this card should be plug and play for the most part. Even a keyboard could not be recognized. I would configure the controllers in EmulationStation but when a game starts the controller could not be recognized. I spent 8-10 hours figuring out a fix. These are fairly common controllers BTW. The problem was/is that controller settings in EmulationStation were not being copied to Retroarch. I believe it's because of Linux permissions and the way he's launching emulators. I had to manually add drivers, manually update the config files, and manually configure the ports on my PI to recognize the controller. By manually I mean manually edit the files. On screen menus/tools were would not work. But, seems like it's working now.On a positive note, the card arrived quickly and it has tons of content. I haven't had any problems with the games.

Works just like it should, so many retro games on here its insane. Just popped it into my Kano kit and boom, super easy retro station. Getting one of these saves so much time hunting these rom images down and manually transferring them, it's totally worth it. The seller was quick to answer my questions and polite as well. This gets an absolute recommendation from me! Kids and I play it more than the switch now lol.
