      Hi guys.

      I Have a 64GB image of retropie with some games that i want to retrieve.
      But today i dont have a 64 SD to write the image on it.

      There is any way to acces the file on windows to retrieve the roms without writing the image on SD card?

      I have already googled my problem but was not able to find any solution :(

        You could install FileZilla on your laptop/pc, get your Pi's ip address, and connect to it. You will be able to view folders and transfer files between the two devices.

          Yeah, normaly i do this.
          But in this case i dont have the 64G SD to write the image and conect on pi.
          I only have the 64G image with the games inside.

          I was wondering if there is any way to mount that image in somewhere to take this games.

            You can use kpartx in Linux to mount the image and retrieve the files.

              Under windows http://www.ext2fsd.com/ might be able to do it - I read on their bugtracker it can handle images. But untested. Easier on Linux as @Rion mentioned.
