SD Card migration.

Melgarik

Hello, I am starting in this world of emulation with a raspberry pi 4 and first, I had a 16GB SD Card with Batocera and all my games and saved states. Recently, I buy a 64GB SD Card and I don’t know if I can transport all my data, games, saved states, themes, configurations, etc to the new SD Card. It this possible and if it’s, what is the easiest form to do that??
I’m starting and I don’t know much about these things so, thanks you very much.

connect your pi4 (with batocera running) to a network.
use a pc, that is connected to the same network and transfer all folders and files from \\batocera\share to your pc.
download the batocera-5.27.2-rpi4-20200926.img.gz file from here:
https://batocera.org/upgrades/rpi4/beta/last/ (this ist the latest version with some hot-fixes)
and flash it to the 64gb card with balena etcher.
boot up your pi4 with this 64gb card and then transfer all your folders/files from the share-folder (that you previously copied to your pc) back to the rpi4 with batocera running.
