      @sleve_mcdichael This is exactly what I was looking for. I installed Retropie and about 100 NES, SNES ROMS, themes etc. on a 256 card but looking to do USB rom service on NESPI 4 case on a 256 SSD. Thought I would be able to make an image and then install it on a 128 card but no, Win32diskimager says the card is too small. I thought there is no freaking way this card was too small but now I know it copied the unused sectors too.
      Thanks for tip about PiShrink! You hopefully saved me $40 on another SD card! Thanks again!

      You can transfer BIOS and ROM files - like usual - but the emulator configs usually contain platform specific settings which should not be transferred. It's ok to transfer EmulationStation's setting - gamelists and metadata.

      @chaoseffect I think I got it, Win32DiskImager says something about formatting the E: drive after it writes, this time I selected nothing and put the SD card in the Pi4. Everything boots up as expected. I will use this new SDcard for a while to make sure everything is good.

      @retrus You may use rpi-clone to clone your card to another, smaller one, and then run the backup on Windows.

      Thanks for advice. I bought 2TB ssd :)

      Win32DiskImager - Doesn’t work. I create the image and try to mount it to make sure it works and Windows tells me it's corrupted. This happens over and over again.

      This is all you needed to do, it did work, you just can't mount it under Windows.
