ONE MENU
70+ consoles, already configured
You don't download an emulator, pick a core, or map a single button. Every system is installed and sorted with box art.
YOUR LIBRARY
3,000 games on the 8GB. 38,000 on the 512GB.
Sorted by console so you pick something and play instead of scrolling filenames. Add or delete anything you want — it's your card.
BUILT FOR THE PC
In the slot you already have
No dock, no adapter, no second device. It goes into the microSD slot on the machine you already own.

Questions people ask before they buy
Do I have to set anything up?
Do I have to set anything up?
No. Every emulator is already installed and configured for Windows handhelds. Put the card in, open it, launch the front-end, and you're at a menu sorted by console. Nothing to download, nothing to configure.
How do I use it on my PC?
How do I use it on my PC?
Three steps
- Insert the card into the microSD slot on your PC.
- Open the card in Windows and launch the included front-end.
- Pick a console, pick a game, play.
Printed instructions come in the box.
Can I see the full list of games?
Can I see the full list of games?
Yes — every title is listed system by system. See the full game list and download the spreadsheet for your card. It opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets, with one tab per console.
The list is a starting point, not a limit. It is an ordinary microSD card — plug it into a computer and add or remove whatever you like, including new releases as they come out.
8GB or 512GB — which one should I get?
8GB or 512GB — which one should I get?
- The 8GB card has 3,000 games — arcade, NES, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy / GBC / GBA and N64. A real starter set at $49.95.
- The 512GB card has 38,000 games, including the disc-era libraries — PS2, GameCube, Wii, PSP, Dreamcast — plus hundreds of gigabytes free for your own.
If you specifically want PS2, GameCube or Wii, you need the 512GB. Those simply do not fit on 8GB.
What is actually on the 8GB card?
What is actually on the 8GB card?
Three thousand cartridge-era games. We are being plain about this because 8GB is small: entire NES, SNES, Genesis and Game Boy libraries fit in a few gigabytes, but a single PS2 title can be 4GB on its own. The 8GB card is the cheapest honest way to find out whether retro gaming on your PC is for you.
Will this touch my Windows install?
Will this touch my Windows install?
No. Nothing is written to your PC's internal drive. Everything runs from the card — eject it and your machine is exactly as it was.
Will my progress save?
Will my progress save?
Yes, in every game, the same way it worked on the original hardware. Saves are written to the card, so they travel with it.
Can I add or delete games?
Can I add or delete games?
Yes. It's an ordinary microSD card — plug it into a computer and add or remove whatever you like. The library on it is a starting point, not a locked list.
What if it doesn't work when it arrives?
What if it doesn't work when it arrives?
Email info@r4deck.com and we'll walk you through it. Most issues are the card reader or the front-end being launched before the card has fully mounted.
