Absolutely worth it!!!!!
This is a fantastic collection of games - the roms work great, very minimal issues and nothing that impedes the enjoyment of the enormous library of games - super excited to try the famicom games and so many arcade classics!!If you're into retro gaming, this is a great place to start your digital game hoard.

Full Recommendation
Excellent price for a solid preloaded sd card with loads of games not found on other supposedly complete retro game collections. The OS that comes with it is very user friendly and stable and I'm looking forward to reliving my experience with countless titles from my youth and many more I've yet to try.Excellent product and value for your purchase.

Make a backup before you use it or be prepared to have issues
Worked a few times, then started to have problems, then more problems and now useless. The microsd card is easy to corrupt, repaired the OS once. Next issue was the lose of thousands of games, saves and time trying to recover games and UI. On top of the game loses the OS is corrupt again, ugh! Support Max was quick to respond at first, and suggested a replacement card could be shipped if issues got worse, but Max has stopped responding to messages after a request to replace the card was made. Wish I would have made a backup before using it, so much time wasted trying to fix it compared to time playing. When it worked it was great. Will update if Max gets me back to gaming.

Plug and Play
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.

No setup required plug and play
What a great price. Plug and play tons of games and easily one of the best selections on the market.

Works exactly as advertised.
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.

Convenient but not really necessary
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.
