Sd card purchase mistake
-
I recently purchased an SD card with plenty of ROMs but when it arrived it was for a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3 and I have a Raspberry Pi zero I'm very new to the Raspberry Pi stuff and I'm not very good at coding is there a way for me to get the ROMs from the SD card without a Raspberry Pi 3 or two or maybe Flash the SD card without losing the ROMs to make it compatible with my Raspberry Pi zero

@tysi07 We don't support 3rd party images - see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Also, selling RetroPie with an existing system is against the project's license.
If you're looking to run RetroPie - please use the image from retropie.org.uk/download. -
@mitu i get that I'm sorry if my phrasing isn't good but what I'm asking is there a way of flashing it with the retropie 4.4 for the Raspberry Pi zero without deleting the ROMs or a way of moving my ROMs without a Raspberry Pi 3 which is what the SD card is flashed for

No, I pretty much understood what you need the first time. The answer still applies.

just remember google is your friend and you can find almost anything on it "hint hint"

Just start again with a fresh install of the Retropie image for the Zero, and add your own roms. It is a shame you have spent out money for an illegal crd, but you can still format and use it, and get the roms yourself - they really are very easy to find online.
-
you may be able to plug it in to you computer and extract something from it
-
@tysi07 you can then save the roms to your computer, flash the 4.4 image onto the card, and simply put the roms back on the miceo sd card

@aatheronb Extracting from an ext4 partition requires an ext file format viewer on Windows or a Linux distribution either installed or run by a virtual environment such as the Oracle Virtualbox.
Otherwise he will not be able to extract anything, as default Windows can not read ext file formats and will ask to format the card to fat or ntfs.

thats why you use a Chromebook

@aatheronb pay attention in class instead of trolling the forum
