    Hi! I've been using a Raspberry Pi 3b Retropie image for years (with roms, art, and scraped data), and I'm about to buy a Raspberry Pi Zero W and do a clean install of Retropie for it. I'd like to get my Pi Zero W image as close as I can to my 3b image as I can, and my thinking is this would mean transferring:

    • Roms folders
    • Gamelist files
    • Downloaded images

    Once I do that, my plan is to start testing roms to see what works and what does not. Can you all tell me if this would work, or would there be a better way of getting my first Pi Zero image running as close as I can to my 3b image? Thank you all so much!

      Transferring the items you mentioned should work and replicate your existing gamelists from the Pi3 to your new Pi Zero system. Make sure you run a full update first on the new system to get the latest version of Emulationstation and of the included emulators.
