@mitu
NICE!
Need to talk to him. Seems he has a solution for my cartridge-boot/usb/rom-thingy :)

@SuperPitendo So are you going to have your ROMs stored in a USB drive

[mitu]

@superpitendo You can always keep your ROMs on an USB - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive/. For booting of an USB drive/stick, check https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/bootmodes/msd.md.

@SuperPitendo @mitu You could also have it as if you have a system on one SD card and when you want to play another system just switch SD cards for the system, only problem is you would need quiet a lot of SD cards, but if that means you could store 64 GB 16 GB of SNES games, I'm all for it(if I had the cash I have the cash, 16 GB that's nothing:) Just an Idea!

@retroprogrammer
Now I store my games on the sd card. The PiDrive is for movies. A 64 GB from WD Labs would fit good in a snes cart :)

@SuperPitendo The thing is how would you get the SD card that is inside the SNES cartridge get the the Raspberry pi SD card port, same with the idea of running of the USB you couldn't reach the USB ports witch are inside the SNES case, one solution is you buy a USB extension wire and for the SD card idea is their such thing as a SD card extension

@retroprogrammer said in My Super Pitendo SNES Case Mod:

but that mean you could store 64 GB of SNES game I all for it

The whole SNES library of games is about 1.7 GB compressed, so it would probably fit on a 16 GB card.

[retroprogrammer]

@mitu Then buy a 16 GB SD card :-)

What about PSX?

@retroprogrammer
No guys! I dont want X-thousand games on my pi.
I have just the games I like and play.
A 16 GB Card would be enough for my GBA, SNES, PSX, ARCADE and SCUMMVM games. I think they are just about 14 GB :D

[retroprogrammer]

but including retro pie I think you might just make with exactly 16 GB
