YZTAC Retropie Raspberry Pi 4 128GB Retro Gaming System Complete Build 50+ Consoles 140,000 Classics

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

Initial setup ran well with the exception of working audio. Software contained a built-in fix but that led to OS conflicts. Contacted seller, who was willing to make it right and was a pleasure doing business with. Response was received within a day of my email. Really nice collection of games. It's preconfigured so those who don't know how to do so won't have a problem. It should be plug and play! Personal qualms- buy extensions for the USB controllers, as they're a bit short!

It comes with a huge number of games from multiple sources. Most of the games are playable. I wish there were better instructions; each game required different buttons on the remote ,some were sluggish so I got killed during playback. I invested in the wireless controllers to eliminate the wires which is nice ,but it didn’t fix the problem. Perhaps, I would be better off using a PlayStation or Xbox controller.Otherwise,the box is awesome!

I am a 90's kid and this thing has every game I used to play and MANY MANY MANY more games. Probably more games than I can ever play. It has classic games that I never got to own as a kid. There are so many games, I forgot about some of them and it brought back a lot of memories. I can't get over having the actual arcade version of my favorite games right on my TV! Setup could not be any easier. Take it out of the box, plug, and play. The package even came with a print out of helpful tips. I love this is thing and strongly recommend it to any retro gamer.
