Absolutely Love
Worked as advertised right out of the box! If you are experienced with tech, make a copy of the SD card when you get this just incase the original gets corrupt (which happens).I am an early 80's kid and this has so many of my OG games that I grew up on. Did not disappoint by any means.Would love to know if the seller has access to more PS games as I did think there would be more there but there are tons of other games for all the other systems.Only issue I am running into is the sound is not working as was the same for other reviews.

INCREDIBLE
This thing is AMAZING. I bought it as a gift but I had to be sure it was all working properly and now may end up getting one to keep at my house as well. I've played other emulator systems. My brother even hacked my old Wii with one so I already had many of these classics but this is an outstanding little piece of equipment. From the format and set up for each individual classic console to the neverending list of games. This is seriously blowing me away. Very well done!

YOU NEED TO READ!
This is a console built from a raspberry pi with Retropie installed. The raspberry pi needs the hdmi port closest to the power supply to be used for audio to transmit. Also, and most importantly, Google and research how to make a backup of a retropie SD card because you can and almost certainly will accidentally change a setting while being curious of what the menus offer and cause the entire system to not operate like you need it or even at all. You will need a computer with a downloaded disk imager software and the gui formatting software also available for free download to be able to restore your backups if this happens. The majority of the games on the console will work as it is, and with some extensive research the majority of the ones that don't work can and will work when you use different cores. This system uses Retroarch as the front end running the emulators and can be notoriously difficult to set up to your liking, but the reward is priceless to retro gamers. If you just want to play the games you remember from the '70s, '80s and 90s I suggest immediately going into the menu and activating kiosk mode so nothing gets changed and messed up and just play the games as they are out the box. That alone makes this system worth every dollar. The controllers aren't the best quality and hopefully they last you and I suggest for the sake of ease and convenience that if you aren't very tech savvy to get a wired replacement controller that does not require Bluetooth registration and can just plug in the USB port and play after a simple on-screen configuration. I hope this "review" help s as many people as it can because I know a lot of people don't understand what they are buying and are accidentally "bricking" this wonderful little system through lack of awareness from the seller and consumer together. I can't remember if mine came with an extensive guide explaining any of this, but I don't think it did.

Waste of money!!!! 80% of the games are from 80's.
Waste of money!!!!! Not worth $200.Console is smaller than a credit card, no power on/off switch. Not all games work. Controllers are trash. Can't back out of games when they don't work. Gotta unplug console every time. I don't recommend this item. Poorly designed!!!

Absolutely amazing!
I was a little nervous about getting a gaming emulator off amazon, everyone reads the negative reviews and its a big turn off. after seeing a YouTube video of someone reviewing this seller and this emulator I decided to give it a shot and hope for the best. I wasn't disappointed! the pack comes with the emulator that's plug and play ready, all the cords you will need and SNES controllers. it even comes with an instruction sheet to help you not mess it up! make sure to read it, it seemed like a lot of negative reviews came from people not treating the emulator right and messing it up by accident. its not a brick, its a mini computer basically and needs to be treated semi gently.As for the game play its pretty awesome! basically every game and system from the SNES and back is on there, limited PS1 & Dreamcast games tho. The bang for the buck is real, especially with the rising cost of actual retro consoles and games.

Great product
Love it, still trying to teach my child to navigate it, but its a nice little device. Great value for the price, big bang for very little buck. My only issue was no sound and it took a little time of changing settings to get the volume to work. Seems to 9nly be an issue when using sound through HDMI. But who doesn't use straight HDMI now a days. Youd think it come programmed to woek correctly out of the box. Thats the only downfall really. Oh and that its better if you buy proper remotes for each emulator, meaning you really need a USB remote which is designed to mimic the game controller for the console that the emulator is for. So we have several different styles of remotes for it...but other than that ot works great. Make sure you backup the SD card that comes with it before you do anything tho.

The best Retropie I have ever seen!
So I have made a few of these myself in the past and they cannot hold a candle to this thing. The interface is amazing, the game selection is extensive, and the build quality is perfect. I needed to use the 3.5mm audio output and the controllers are a little cheap, but despite those cons this is definitely a buy!

I Love this thing!
I was a little leary of this, I'm not a "techy" person at all. The last time I was proficient with computer type stuff was windows 95! They portrayed this as plug and play so I figured ok, I'll try it. It gets here and is very nicely packaged, the console piece is actually pretty cute and the size of a deck of cards. So I plugged it all in and it worked but no sound from my hdmi smart TV. After doing some reading on google I found that the 2 power inlet things on the back aren't actually identical. You have to use the c plug thing that is the closest to the power inlet jack because the other one doesn't carry audio out. problem solved and works perfectly. Definitely one of my absolute favorite purchases
