Quick answers about supported consoles, card types, what’s included, and how it all works.
All listed cards are bench-tested on real hardware before dispatch.
TF2 “games-only” cards need a TF1 firmware card. One-slot consoles need “Firmware + Games”.
We keep most settings on default so you can personalise themes, options, and tweaks.
We support what we can physically test in-house. That means every listed card has been bench-tested on real hardware before it ships.
If we can’t test a console and firmware combination on real hardware first, we won’t claim full support for it.
ROMReady listings generally fall into one of three types:
Yes — all listings include games unless the listing is explicitly marked “Firmware Only”.
If you’re ever unsure, the listing title/description will make it clear which type you’re buying.
Yes. Any card that includes games will also include the necessary BIOS files required for the included emulators to work.
For listed cards: yes — they’ve typically already gone through initial boot and are intended to be plug-and-play.
For special-request firmware we can’t test in-house: we can flash the firmware onto a card, but you may need to complete the first boot/setup yourself. These special-request cards usually ship without games because many systems create their game directories during first boot.
Most settings come down to personal preference (themes, scaling, overlays, filters, performance options, hotkeys, and so on). We keep things simple and stable by leaving most settings on default — so you can personalise your setup without fighting someone else’s choices.
Yes. You can do whatever you like with the cards after purchase. If your console supports Wi-Fi, most operating systems provide an update option to move to the latest version, and this is generally safe to do without losing data.
Yes. You’ll need a microSD to USB adapter. Plug the card into your PC or laptop, open the drive, and drop your games into the correct platform folder.
Keep in mind that some hardware/firmware combinations only support specific emulators. If you add games for new systems, you may need additional BIOS files for those emulators — although most common systems are already pre-supported by the operating system.
A lot of people compare a ready-to-use card to the raw cost of a blank microSD on Amazon. The card itself is only one part of what you’re buying.
Special requests (such as specific games not in our existing collections) take extra time to source and scrape, and that time is reflected in pricing.
Most of the time, cards are shipped on Kioxia and Lexar media. When available, we may also use Integral, Kingston, or SanDisk.
A quick word on quality
Kioxia is a major Japanese flash-memory manufacturer and the company behind the invention of NAND flash memory. Many people know it by its previous name: Toshiba Memory.
Lexar is a well-known flash storage brand with a long history of producing memory cards and SSD products. Today it operates under the Longsys group, continuing to produce reliable consumer and enthusiast storage media.
Brand availability can vary, but we stick to reputable, branded media suitable for the job.
We have extensive knowledge working with these consoles and provide support directly via the purchasing platform (eBay, Facebook, and so on).
All listed cards are bench-tested in-house before shipping. Special-request cards may not be tested if we don’t have the hardware/firmware available.
If something isn’t right, message us via the platform you purchased through and we’ll help. We may ask a few quick questions first to make sure the card is being used correctly (for example, a TF2 games-only card won’t boot in a TF1 slot without firmware).
If it’s confirmed to be a card fault, we’ll normally resolve it using the platform’s return system and ask you to order again.
If you’ve got a question about a specific listing or console, message us on the platform you purchased from and we’ll point you in the right direction.
