Vilros Raspberry Pi 4 Retro Gaming Kit-Includes Gamepads and Gaming Console Style Case

Fantastic!

I know some people buying this kit are not Linux-savvy, so I would encourage those folks to watch some Youtube videos ahead of time to know what the software setup *might* look like. I loved this kit. It had absolutely everything I needed to get started with my first Raspberry pi. I appreciate the software that came with the kit, but I ended up having to override it with Batocera (which works wonderfully). Overall I would recommend this kit to anyone starting out. If this is not your first pi or pi arcade, then you would be better served buying components separately. I personally like the SNES design - but you could opt instead for better cooling. The controllers work fine, but you may be better off getting xbox controllers for maximum compatibility.

The system itself is working great and I feel good about the purchase. However, the instructions for install included specific directions to boot Lakka, which currently isn't compatible with the pi. This led to many hours troubleshooting something rather simple, but since I am new to computer building, posed a major roadblock and definitely negated the point of opting for this "ready to go" rig. Possible solution: print new instructions or email a notification to purchasers about the temporary incompatibility of Lakka, point folks to another OS that you can download with wifi during Raspian install.

Thanks,

the system and the hardware was there but i found the manuals sent to be very lacking

My wife got me this for Christmas. The controllers feel great and work great. My only reason for giving 4 stars is that with cables coming out the front of the case I can never close the door. The case works great but it just doesn't look nice with the cables coming out of the front.

32GB SD card comes with Lakka, but you can easily flash a more noob-friendly RetroPie if you prefer. I took the time to tinker with Lakka and it seems to be geared more towards experienced users.

Just what I wanted and needed and expected!

Excellent product, quick shipment. Thanks, I'll be back for more!

Good product, decent price/value and excellent delivery

This kit is amazing. Took minutes to setup and works flawlessly. Has everything you need to start retro gaming. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Very easy to use and setup was a breeze.

What a great little machine. Ive had a lot of fun with it. The kit is a great buy without a doubt.

Super happy with my purchase. Product shipped super quick. Box had everything I needed to get my Retro Gaming system up and running in no time. 2nd purchase will definitely recommend and purchase more.

A great kit for setting up any project you can imagine with a Raspberry Pi.

Excellent kit for setting up a complete emulation station. Used RetroPie as a platform. A+

I am a real person & purchaser of pi4 snes package. All pieces arrived promptly, in good condition, with no discrepancy from ad. The unit itself comes with all you need to get going, after setup you may need additional downloads (free) deapproved on what you want. The product is great, a good value, & would recommend without reservation. We had a couple of minor hiccups getting everything going smoothly, but that is our shortcoming on following instructions . Thank you, Vilros, for a good value & most of all, TRUTH IN ADVERTISING

It was a learning project for my children, they can learn basic computer hardware functions, software, software installation, programming, and as they grow they can utilize the GPIO for new learning projects. The educational benefits between the PI and various Arduino are nearly endless.

Package came ripped open and extremely damaged- Contents inside the Vilros box were all there. This was a gift so presentation was extremely embarrassing with not enough time to send back and order new.
It was the Vilros cardboard box, unsealed, placed into a very thin plastic envelope with zero cushioning/bubble wrap.
Shipping was fast and ordering was easy, nice website.

It works, was affordable, was convenient, and arrived timely!

Excellent product. Incredibly fast processing/shipping. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic. Also bought ps2 controllers and they are great. The right trigger on one of them is a bit stiff but not unstable and I think it will get better as I break it in. Overall job complaints

Great kit! Easy to set up and get going playing old games. The controller pads seem to be high quality, and customer support was very helpful when I emailed them.

Excellent deal - the NES-styled case is sturdy and the built-in fan is doing a great job of keeping the Pi cool. The SNES-style controllers are well-built and work just fine. High quality all around. You won't be disappointed.

Great kit that comes with everything needed to get started. The case is pretty decent as well. Very basic but it does have a fan so with the provided heat sinks you should have no problems at all. I had my Pi4 overclocked to 2ghz for about 10-20 min and even then I was very surprised to never see the temp go above 60C

For everything this comes with it’s absolutely worth it. I had never even touched a raspberry pi before getting this kit but it was still very easy to set up, and with the micro SD card it comes with it’s very easy to install your preferred OS. I’m decent with computers, but I wouldn’t say I’m great but even so, I found it very easy to download ROMs onto the provided USB flash drive and play them through Lakka. This is a fun little kit if you’re into retro games

Missing screws to hold case together, very sketchy HDMI cable that works sometimes, not quite the quality I had expected but it does work.
