Good to Know

Quick answers before you start shopping.

Do the cards include games?

No. Cards do not contain games. They are physical shortcuts for games you already have set up with Zaparoo.

Will this work with my setup?

Zaparoo works with MiSTer, Batocera, Windows, SteamOS, Linux, and more. If you are unsure, check the docs or ask in Discord before buying.

What do I need to get started?

You need the free Zaparoo software, a supported setup, an NFC reader, and NFC cards. If you need both cards and a reader, starter kits are the easiest first purchase.

Can I use my own cards or reader?

Yes. You can use compatible NFC cards and readers. Check the docs for compatibility before buying if you are using your own gear.
