      I've bought a Pi 3 pack from Amazon - lots of sellers sell them and you get a power supply, white/red case, and a Micro SD card with NOOBS on it. Is this card fine for RetroPie?

      I ask as I keep seeing you should use high performance cards?

      Thanks

            @jay81uk Yeah you are. Feeling all guilty about piracy then starting again?!? and you erased all trace of your previous (fake) guilt. I'm not biting this time. :)

              Ok, appreciate I probably annoyed you, and all I can do is apologise. But yes, I have bought a Pi 3 again.

                You need a class 10 rating Micro SD card for effective read/write access and reliability, so maybe a SanDisk micro SDXC - UHS-I around 64 to 128GB.
