Booting the OS from the SD card is not sketchy at all botocera is an established retro emulation software

@@SmokinSilicon The OS itself isn't sketchy because it's designed to run off a raspberry pi, the way the games were obtained and the way you got the SD Card is sketchy

Essentially what this is, is a micro sd card that had an emulation focused distro of Linux called Batocera preinstalled, with a bunch of roms included. You can do this with any microsd card btw. Batocera is free and open source and designed to be run from external storage like usb drives, portable hard drives, and SD cards. It's typically installed to the SD card using something like Balena Etcher, then you would transfer roms to it. BTW, the front end that Batocera uses is called EmulationStation DE. You can actually install that on other Operating systems if you just want the front end. On the Steam deck, RetroDeck uses the same front end, though there is an appimage for ES-DE as well on their website.

You should research retro emulation for PC and I think you'll have a much better experience with this

Go into the emulation settings and you can fix sound issues in lots of other issues

I think I’ve had a smoother experience with the Batocera OS. The only big issue is that most Nintendo systems will default to that button swapped layout.

Wow you used a special edition OLED for a sketchy SD card?

For ultimate sketchiness

you could also just move over all roms, format the card for emudeck and move the roms into their designated folders.

You ordered the card for LCD decks, they have a fix for OLED versions. But for $30 it saves hours upon hours, plus you're getting thousands of Roms you don't have to download. You can also go in and delete games from the ROM file and add some seeing all the bios are in there for every system.

it depends on where its manufactured... some regions have their product sourced from different manufacturers which usually has slightly off color or fonts... its what happened with noctua fans as well when they started to have some manufactured in china... the brown was not the same as the original noctua ones but its 100% legit noctua fans.... the 256GB could be a perfect copy of that region's manufactured card and the 16gb you have are your region specific manufactured one had better color retaining in grey color.... its all in the name of profit margin....
