    The idea is for that, yes. I suppose buying up a bunch of low (4gb and lower) capacity cards off aliexpress won’t be too expensive, and would be ideal for the smaller games like Celeste or stuff from 2008 and earlier

      Those really low capacity cards have DIRE read speeds though. I wouldn’t want to cheap out too much on them.

      We have one SD card at work that seemingly works fine, but has read speeds of like single digit Mbps. It’s plenty for the arcade machine it runs with no more than 10mb roms at the max. But oof is it bad.
