separating snes/super famicom games

You could do it the same way as you did with the snes and nes. Copy and paste the megadrive or genesis theme folder, replace the logo and adjust the names in the es_systems.cfg

I just noticed there's a new Retropie 4.2 update. I'm still working on sorting through my rom collections since they are more of a mess than I was hoping they would be, but I have a question about the update -

Is it advised to update from within Retropie after I made these custom theme folders and altered config files? If I update from within Retropie, what will happen to those custom folders I made for the famicom, and all the custom icon files and changes to the config files I made to point to the custom themes? Will I need to back those up and re-copy them over after updating, or can I safely update and those custom folders will be left alone? Do I just select "Update All Installed Packages"?

@groviar if you're worried about it make a backup of your image first (always recommended with any major update) But if you've edited your theme as recommended then it shouldn't affect your theme when you update

[groviar]

Since I still don't have any roms or anything else on my Retropie yet (still sorting things out), would it be enough to backup the individual custom theme folders and config files I altered, since the only other things I did so far on the Retropie is install a couple additional emulators from the Retropie menu?

[herb_fargus]

@groviar probably as long as youve kept track of all the stuff you changed

[groviar]

Thanks. Yeah, I'll have to double-check to make sure I've backed up all the config files and custom themes I've made. Is "Update All Installed Packages" the one I want to select? Will that automatically bring all of Retropie up to 4.2?

[herb_fargus]

@groviar yes I believe so (don't forget to update your setup script first)

[groviar]

Okay, so first, back up, then "update Retropie-setup script", then "Update All Installed Packages".

[herb_fargus]

@groviar yes

[groviar]

Thanks again!

@groviar, did this process end up working to your satisfaction? I've been wanting to do the same thing for a while but my minor experiments with it didn't pan out. This thread is the only thing I can find that covers the topic sufficiently.
