Use on my old laptop works fine.
Absolutely fantastic idea. Every game more than you can imagine. Easy to navigate and find games loads fast and you don’t have to be a computer nerd to operate. I’m using on a old laptop and it works fine. I locked my self out of a different emulator before messing around with controller buttons and specs… Luckily this one has safe guard to assure you don’t screw up….

Limited Gameplay
While the product is plug and play, these are the problems I found.The amount of games it has is limited, while it claim it has thousands, they are repeated games from different countries, so you can easily have 1 Title 5 times from USA, Japan, Europe, Spain, etc. It barely have any modern games like PS2 or PS3 or even Xbox, there is only 1 to 3 games on this consoles, Xbox 360 there is none. So most of the games are Atari, NES, SNES, PS that is pretty much what you are getting.In addition, make sure you have a wired controller because a wireless or bluethoot controller won’t work.

Important to know before purchase
Okay, some things to start off with. This is plug and play but it’s not as simple as that. And the directions that come with the hard drive are utterly useless. I almost returned this item because to get it to even start was a very frustrating experience, but after playing around with it and researching on the internet, I figured it out. First, this is a Linux product, so to start it up on a Windows 11 OS, you must first boot into the bios screen, disable secure boot then place the game HD in the first boot position, over the OS. This is just the beginning. Now you have to connect your Bluetooth controller. My controllers would not connect, no matter what. This drove me so mad, I was about to pack up the HD and send it right back to Amazon. I figured out that you must first connect the HD to your wireless network, which you can find in the settings, then update it, which is also in settings. After rebooting, all of my controllers connected easily. I took a star off because of these initial difficulties and the useless directions that are packaged with the product, but I kept the remaining four because once you get past these initial difficulties, the system and the games work flawlessly and the price is excellent for all the content included as well as the presentation,

Fails to boot, splash screen only, required manual copy of data to different drive
This is a cheap old hard drive, which would be fine if it worked, however the version of Batocera appears to be very old since I tried it on two separate PCs and both failed to get past a static image splash screen. There are some known issues on some mini PCs with older versions, but this didn’t even work on my main PC. So it is a many years old, incompatible version.The drive is configured so that the Batocera partition is too small to let you just install the new version, so I had to install Batocera myself on another drive, and then manually copy over the additional data from this drives data partition while running my fresh install of Batocera (NOTE you can’t do this in Windows, you need to do it inside Batocera.) At least appears that the systems and games are there. Overall this is just too old of a drive image and needs to be updated.

Not able to boot past the splash screen
I just built this computer: RTX 4080 super, Ryzen 7800x3d, 32g DDR5, ROG Strix B650E-F Mb, and this is the only software that doesnt work. I boot into the Bios and set the Batocera drive a the boot drive and save. Once it boots up it comes to a splash screen for about 30 seconds and then goes blank. Ive tried it on and older gaming laptop and a pc I built 6 years ago and it works fine but nothing on my new system.

Was hoping to reset the bios to pick up the drive as the boot drive, then run it.That didn’t work.I am not technical so gave up.looking at the drive on file explorer, i could tell there was stuff there, could not confirm if there were 117,000 games.Really disappointed that i didn’t get to try this as was hoping to build an arcade cabinet.
