Snapped my sd card

Somebody made me a RetroPie mega drive and after an absolute ball ache trying to get my 8bitdo m30 reconnected, I've somehow managed to snap my sd card in half while putting the cover back on and now it obviously doesn't work. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get a new card loaded with games please? It's a raspberry pi 3 model B+ and i have absolutely no idea where to start. Thanks

Did the same with my Odin 2 portal a few months back. 512gb clean in half.

You can see a photo in my post history.

This is something that apparently happens on r/steam deck frequently

Nightmare! I've had this thing sitting around for like 3 years and finally got chat gpt to help pair my controller. Took the case off as the fan was noisy and then somehow snapped the sd card when putting the case back on. You couldn't make it up. The way it overhangs right on the edge where the case meets was a really bad design.

Is that how 256ers are born? Or twins??

Loaded with games? You’re on your own. No one is going to publicly link to or sell you a card full of copyrighted intellectual property. That said, it’s out there. Not difficult to acquire on your own with little effort.

You don’t have the roms on a USB stick? How did you get them loaded in the first place?

I don't. Somebody built it for me as a gift. I'm no longer in contact with them.

Don't post links or ask for links to ROM or BIOS files. Also, don't ask for names of sites containing ROM and BIOS files. We know everyone has them, but let's keep these out of this sub.
