      Hello, first off thank you guys in advance for all the help you can offer. So I'll try to make this short as possible but I'm trying to make a preloaded sd card that I bought running retropie on my odroid xu4q. Unfortunately I dont know the version of retropie that I was using but I did buy it recently so hopefully it was a more recent one. So basically I didnt know what I was doing but I reformatted the sd card that had all the data on it and of erased all the data on the sd card. I was able to recover the erased data but it all has different file names and scattered randomly. So my question is, is all the 400gb of data pretty much useless or is there a way to salvage it into a new working image of retropie. Thanks for all the help!

        "Pre-loaded" cards aren't supported here. Someone is profiting off the work of others. You can take the info off the card a la cart and then reinstall RetroPie, otherwise you should probably contact whomever you got it from.

        RetroPie is significantly better when you know what you're doing anyway.
