@jigidyjim if you have a USB card-reader, you could boot one and mount the other and diff them on the pi.
Otherwise, you could copy the "configs" folder off the two cards over the network share and then diff them on your PC using Ubuntu for Windows.
In the PC's search bar (on same network as the Pi), type:
\\retropie(Use back-slashes.) This brings you to the network share on the Pi. Copy the "configs" folder to your PC. Repeat with "configs" on the other SD card.
Install Ubuntu for Windows through the Microsoft store. Right-click where your two "configs" folders are. Choose "Open Linux terminal window here." diff the two folders.
