Authentic product; includes detailed instructions
Uh... This SD card is super thick, and warm enough to run around in the middle of winter without a coat on.Seriously though, I was a tiny bit nervous ordering a cobbled together setup on a card, but I'm extremely confident after receiving the product. It is an authentic Samsung SD card, just as pictured, complete with adapter should you need it. The seller took the time to describe it's contents, advise on proper use and care, and explain the setup and requirements in detail.The professional manner of the seller and the use of premium components makes me far more confident that my investment was money well spent.**UPDATE** March 2021After getting a wired XBox controller properly configured, which required a little bit of Terminal time, I was able to play several of my favorite NES games flawlessly. There is an impressive library of games from at least 30 different game platforms on there, and for the most part, it's all playable, provided you are willing to tweak button positions within the game settings. Incredibly happy with this product; it's better than I'd hoped for!

Great product that's well worth the price.
Very happy with this purchase. The Daphne games (3 of them) will freeze the pi4 and nothing brings it out of it and that's kinda disappointing. Most of the console games work great. I mostly play sega master system, genesis, Atari 2600(this sd card has more Atari games than I ever imagined existed! The Mame games are pretty good but sometimes odd. Many don't work but there are multiple versions of some popular ones and at least one version will work. The creator of this raspberry pi 4 image has made a wonderful product that has saved me lots of time and effort. I definitely would recommend it to friends.

Truly plug and play
My husband got this for me, with a Raspberry Pi 4B, for Christmas. I'm an adult-life-long Mac user with basically no computer knowledge outside of daily use, so I was worried I'd be in for long hours of setup and Googling, and maybe that I'd do something wrong and never figure it out.Once I put together my Raspberry Pi with its case/fan/controller, etc, all I had to do was plug in this mini-SD card and turn it on! 100% plug and play. I've only tried about a dozen games so far (for Nintendo, SNES, GameBoy, and N64), but all worked great. I highly recommend buying from this store, even if you have no idea what you're doing!

Great for plug n play
If you don't know what you're doing and just want to do an Arcade1up plug n play mod, this is a great image to start with. (or if you just want to hook up a Rpi4 to your tv)This is perfect to play with while you gather knowledge and practice for better builds in the future.The default emulator works for most games. If you come across a game that won't launch, don't fret. You can change the emulator for each individual rom. With that being said, some games still won't work, but there are thousands of games and many have different versions. You are bound to get one of them to work.The front-end is easy to navigate, broken down by console systems. Just wheel through the systems until you get to which one you want, go into that system and venture through the games.There are tons of games for all ages.Be sure to create a disk image for back-up before booting up. There are tons of tutorials on how to do it on youtube and this SD card comes with a sheet of instructions that tell you where to go for info.Would I buy this product again? No. I have learned what I needed to surpass this item.Am I glad I bought it? Yes. It was a great stepping stone that really helped me figure stuff out and entertained me along the way.I'm guessing if you're looking at this product, you are new to Retro-pie. By all means, don't second guess purchasing this. It is worth it. Even if you never want to learn more or upgrade later, this has hours upon hours of entertainment that can keep you happy for years.AGAIN.... CREATE A SYSTEM IMAGE FOR BACK-UP BEFORE USING THIS!

Superb selection of games for the money
Retropie is an excellent vehicle for vintage games. This version works well out of the box. The selection of games is superb from my point of view. I played many of these when my daughters were in their teen, and they are just as good as I remember. I certain that a master gamer might be disappointed by an omitted game, but I did not have that experience. I found the preloaded card to be an outstanding value.

Won’t show previews of the games
One of the problems with this card is it won’t show previews of the games it has, not even a picture, as your scroll down the list of over 100,000 titles. That’s a lot of games to boot up and try to realize most you probably won’t interest you. You can’t seem to search the entire library, only search the system collection you’re on. So you have to go system by system to see if the card has the game you want. To get a lot of the games to work you have to change the emulator to run the game and see if it works. Keep trying to different ones and they usually work. To do this, as the game boots up, press any button, then select “Select emulator for ROM.” Select an emulator and then press launch. You also have to change the aspect ratio for most games to make it look right (some are stretched, some are squeezed). To do this, once in the game, press the coin or select button and the X button to get to Retroarch to change the aspect ratio. Go to settings-video-scaling-then aspect ratio and see which one looks best. Then go to Quick menu, overrides, then save game overrides to save any changes you’ve done to the game. Good value, just takes a little work and learning to get to some good games. You can also Asian which button for each game. Go to quick menu, controls, port 1 control, change your buttons, go back one, click save game remap file. Good luck.
