Migrating a working RetroPie setup to the new Stretch image
-
Hi - I need to undertake this task. I am using 4.3 and the image took about 6 months to perfect, I love it. However I don't want to get left behind so need to plan to upgrade.
I think the best mode is to buy a new SD card and copy over, however how are you copying the directories from 1 SD to another? I did think to wireless connect to the PI and copy the directories off using Explorer.

@g0nz0uk Copying the folders over using your PC is the easiest way - after enabling the Wifi on the Pi.

Hi,
With backing up your rims, bios etc and then restoring them to the new install did u have to manually re-setup your name control configuration or was that contained in the backup?Thanks,

@Dwarfboysim the controllers and control mappings will be in the emulation station folders, and part in the RetroPie configs one - both mentioned in the first post. Did you backup and restore those folders?

Hi,
I actually followed a guide to upgrade to stretch and deploy 4.4 over my existing setup. All looks to be running well.
