      Hi all,

      Looking for a way of swapping SD cards in my Pi4-based arcade cabinet without having to remove a panel to access the Pi (which is housed deep inside). I thought an extension cable for the SD-card would work (that I could feed out through rear vents), but can't find one that works on the Pi4. Does anyone know of one, or could maybe suggest a better solution?

      Thanks

        You can install RetroPie to a USB 3.0 stick + USB 3.0 cable. I believe it will work. I have boot RetroPie from a USB 2 stick with 80cm USB cable and it was working.

        My English isn't at a good level.
