Is it possible to duplicate the micro SD part ? The boot part complicates things for me.
-
I'd just like to replace the actual 64 GB sandisk 100GB/s in the retropie by an older samsung 64GB 60MB/s because it's good enough for it. I'm pretty casual, I bought/installed the retropie a year and a half ago and used it barely 50hrs 토토사이트 so I'm not very good with the stuff.
I thought I could duplicate and switch those micro SD cards easily but there's this boot partition and I can't see the other hidden partition where games etc are stored.
Thanks in advance. -
@BintuGomes That's not how you transfer the image - do a backup of your current SD card and restore the image on the new SD card, see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/#making-a-backup-option-1.

Just did that to expand into a 256gb SD card. However, if you want to transfer files directly onto the non-boot partition there are two ways I do this. 1) install the desktop environment on your Pi and you can use a keyboard and the file system included in the desktop to transfer files between a USB stick and your SD card. 2) I have an older laptop with a SD card slot and the DVD version of Knoppix installed on it. You can boot the DVD version and use that if you don't want to install it. This can read and write virtually any filesystem in use, including exFAT from your retropie SD card.
EDIT: Note that option #1 is very slow, and option #2 will be slow if you are moving files between an SD card and USB stick plugged into the computer. #2 is much faster if files you are moving to the SD card are on your hard drive.
