Sonicon Preloaded RetroPie Batocera Emulator MicroSD Card w/DC/PS1/FC/SFC/Sega/GB/Atari/Arcade/N64/Mame for Raspberry Pi4/4B+/400 (512GB(Greatest-Hits Collection), for Raspberry Pi 4/4b+/400)

Awesome, Awesome and awesome ,seriously its awesome

Ordered this and was excited when it arrived.I plugged it into the Pi, switched the Pi on and the drive was corrupt.I also plugged it into my laptop to check if anything could be recovered and the whole drive wasn't detectable.The sd card was non branded and looked cheaply made.I'm waiting to hear back from the seller for a replacement.

Review is for the 512 gig version.Let's start with the not so good & please consider, I have spent about 4 hours with this thing & you would likely need a couple of solid weeks just to scratch the surface of what is included. I'm not exaggerating.1) Some of the games are unusable. I expected this to some degree, because let's face it, this card has more than most people ever would need. Specifically, Shadow of the Beast on Amiga. Loads partway and then asks for Disk 2. I'm stuck there but I did reach out to support and will amend this as needed. Noticed some of the games that should be in English are not. I found some of the MS-DOS games still have the old "Look up something in the manual" copy protection & most people will not get very far when that happens.2) A Raspberry Pi 4 will choke on the N64 and Dreamcast games - Less of a big deal for me. I bought it for MAME, Atari, Coleco and Amiga. Although a friend mentioned the Orange Pi 5 as a possible fix for this. I mean, they run but they are choppy, so know this going in.3) I do not see a way to modify machine settings on the MAME games. Seems to me I have seen options to tinker with the machine specific settings, but admittedly, it's been awhile. Also asked support about this and will update as needed.Now the good:1) I had a hell of a lot of fun with this card. As I mentioned, it's more than anyone probably would ever need but if I had bought a smaller one, I would have regretted it and wondered.2) It's got nearly everything. The PS1 game collection could be larger I guess but I was happy to see the ESPN Extreme Games included. I literally haven't begun to scratch the surface of what all is here. It even includes a fair amount of homebrew games based on Streets of Rage I think. I doubt you could ever play everything on this card even if you had the time and inclination. Also has a "Pick a random game" button built into the menu. Just BROWSING the damned thing is a good time and if you're like me (Been playing video games since there were video games), you're going to remember a lot of things you probably haven't thought about in years. Feel like a kid again. It's fun and all too rare.3) Slick presentation - My main reason for buying a preloaded Batocera card is time. I don't have any. I know you can do one of these yourself for the price of a blank micro SD card but this is likely better than I would have done if I had the time and inclination. You plug it in, boot your Pi and you're playing games after configuring a controller. The Amiga loading screens have the disk drive clicks, which was delightful to hear again. I mean, the whole thing just put a big ol' dumb smile on my face. When you're browsing games, generally you get a video of gameplay as well as a description of the game. There are multiple ways to search.4) Controller Configuration - Couldn't be easier. Recognized my Logitech USB joysticks and prompted me to setup the buttons. Can't complain about this at all. I found it much easier to use once I had a keyboard connected. Escape 2x gets you out of a game and back to the menu.5) There are so many games. I mean, I consider myself well informed when it comes to retro games & there is so much here and so much I have no idea about. They really did include an obscene amount of content.So, should you buy one of these? If you love old video games, I have no reservations recommending this purchase.

I am using the sd card on a Raspberry Pi 4B. I plugged the Sonicon card in, started the Pi and it worked well without any frustration. The menu is nicely organized with great music, has the feel of a very competently engineered product. Every game I’ve tried thus far has performed as expected with few exceptions. Seller is responsive and prompt, very helpful in answering the questions I had. Highly recommended.

Absolutely love this product! Simple plug and play. So many retro games to choose from. Playing some of the retro arcade games brought back a lot of memories from when I was a kid in the arcade with my family!!!

Worked great, popped sd card into my pi, booted right up and playing in minutes. Lots of good games.

This company is great. Customer service is awesome. The product itself is flawless. Easy navigation and great gameplay. Thank you!
