      Hi all, first post here.

      I’ve got a weird issue I cannot figure out. I tried posting this on Reddit but got downvoted to oblivion because my issues apparently “defies logic”.

      I have one Pi 3 Model B and two identical brand Sandisk 32GB memory cards.

      Using Win32 and an SD card adapter, I clone my RetroPie setup to an img file and then write it back to a brand new card. Upon putting it back in the same Pi, I find that controllers configs and GPU Memory split options do not copy over.

      The latter is a particular pain due to the fact that I plan to clone my card for a friend who lives on the other side of the country. He’s really not great with tech and I’ve had to write a guide for him so he can set the GPU split himself which is essential otherwise the setup suffers from the white screen and GL error.

      Can anyone think why this would be? Everything else copies over just fine including all of my RetroArch preferences.
