Everything + The Kitchen Sink
TL;DR Version - This HDD comes loaded with too many games - and you will literally spend hours going through the various lists to find and mark your 'favorites'. Most every game I tested for the popular game consoles (Atari 2600 -> Sony PS2) worked without issue, but it would take a lifetime to try them all. Things start to get spotty for PC, PS3 and Switch titles, with the likelihood of issue increasing with the newness of the game. Once you learn how to cull out systems and titles you don't want, it becomes manageable. Highly Recommend!My version was shipped from China with a Western Digital HDD, and was hooked up to a desktop PC sporting a 9th gen Intel i7 w/32GB RAM and an RTX2080 via a USB 3.1 port. YMMV.First, Load times... I did not experience the 2 minute lag that another commenter mentioned. Click on the "Hyperspin Attraction.exe" executable launched the front end within 20 - 30 seconds. Could be the drive shipped with mine is faster? or possibly the other reviewers were plugging it into a USB 2.0 Port?Once in the front end itself, you are presented with a carrousel of well over 300 'collection' menu items, each of which can lead to 100s of game titles. At least one collection exists for each console and arcade emulator, along with major genres (racing, shooter, etc), and popular game collections spanning multiple emulators (Think "Mario Bros", "Mortal Kombat", etc).Just going through the high level collection list can be exhausting, never mind the (often) hundreds of games stored within each. (After all, do I really have time to play all 600+ Genesis titles?) Fortunately, I quickly found a way to deal with the overwhelming choice by disabling unwanted collections for systems I was not interested in. I then tagged only the games within each collection that I think I would ever be interested in playing again as a "favorite". A few quick manual edits to the individual collection files and voila - a managable list of just the good stuff.Speaking of stuff, all major systems up to and including the PS3 and Nintendo Switch are represented here, with entire collections (or seemingly so) for the most popular consoles - Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, PSP, NeoGeo, NES, SNES, N64, GameCube and Wii. There are also limited libraries for newer consoles such as XBOX360, PS3, Wii, WiiU. Note that there are collections for "XBOX", "PS4", and "PS5", but don't be fooled. Most if not all of the games listed within these collections actually load a version of the game on another system -- such as PC versions for roms in the PS4 and PS5 sections.In addition to consoles, collections exist for the complete MAME and FBA libaries, as well as stand alone emulators for newer and/or more obscure titles not presently supported in MAME such as TechnoParrot. Sadly, not all technoparrot roms are included on this list. You will have to find and add those yourself ;-)The included emulators themselves are snapshots of popular emulators circa 2021 - 2022, so may not be the latest/stablest versions - particularly for newer systems such as Switch (YUZU), PS3 (RPCS3), and Xenia (Xbox 360). That said, I strongly recommend you NOT update to the latest versions, as I found that with RPCS3 in particular, upgrading can break the scripts used to launch the titles.On the topic of newer titles, I should mention that there are a few hundred titles for PC and consoles that are still actively marketed/supported (such as Switch). I won't list the titles or dwell on the ethics involved... just be warned that they are on here, and **most** of them work - albeit without online play for obvious reasons.In summary, I found this drive to be everything I ever wanted and then some. I spent hours upon hours culling out the cruft to get to the lmited number of games on each system that I recognized and still wanted to play. Once done, however, I now have a beast of a gaming system that will play all the games from my childhood, along with quite a few new ones as well.

Awesome But
This thing is awesome I mean it's loaded with everything you could imagine ever played but it is buggy it crashes a lot it gets stuck you have to end up rebooting it plus you need to virus scan this when hooking up to your PC bitdefender found over 60 viruses Trojans malware worms etc etc cleaned out returning for replacement hopefully this one's not loaded up with viruses and buggy and works flawlessly like it should bottom line is though this thing has more games on it than you could ever imagine or play in a lifetime it's mind-boggling it's sick it is just totally off the hook

There's too much going on to work correctly
I have a gaming PC with a 7900XTX / 64GB of RAM and have no issues running anything, but this drive has too much going on to function properly. Once you click on a collection, it can take up to 2 minutes to open (if it even opens at all). Half the time it just crashes. Need a version of this without the collections, "PS5 games" and mobile games (that are just demoes). Get rid of the modern PC ports and unnecessary collections and this thing might run better. They tell you not to delete anything as it might mess up the frontend so you can't even take any of this stuff off to help without potentially messing up the whole thing. Bummer. Tried on multiple PC's and a gaming laptop. Same results. Too laggy to be functional.

Returned, games we tried not working, no help via support within 24hrs of emailing gmail in contacts
We're returning it because the Games we tried on it were either not working or there was a label on the Hyperspin wheel with no image and didn't exist on the drive or it would attempt to load, only to throw us back into a Hyperspin loop.I'm not gonna spend hours trying to troubleshoot this if I had to create my own system.Maybe their next hard drive version will be better. We'll be on the lookout for it.

Garbage!
Where to begin? Half of the games you WILL NOT care about, the other half, half of them don't work! What's the point of having all these games if they don't work? Learn from MY mistake, don't waste your money on empty promises.
