Move all the games and emulators from 4.0.0 to 4.1
-
Hi,
I have seen that its not possible to update from 4.0.0 beta6 (which is the version i have) to the latest version of recalbox.
I would want to update, because my xbox one controllers has stooped working, so i think its because the controllers have been updated and i have to update the recalbox too in order to start working again.
So, is there any easy way to install recalbox 4.1 and then move all the games and emulators i have in my actual version? (including all the images for each game). I have a big collection and i wouldnt want to add them again separately.
Thank you.

@petermc Hi, please follow these steps:
- Backup your roms folder
- Make your new installation
- Restore your roms and data in roms folder
- Make a "quick shutdown" from Emulation Station (so it doesn't save anything)
- Restart Recalbox
-
@oyyodams might be a good idea to kill emulationstation between 2 and 3, not sure it is mandatory with quick shutdown, but it can't hurt.
-
@voljega not mandatory if you perform a quick shutdown, but yes it can't hurt

@oyyodams Thank you!
1.-
How do you restore your roms and data? Just drag and drop or copy them?2.-
With that quick shutdown, do you mean, in recalbox, "quit" options, push "quick shutdown"? Or do you mean other thing?Thank you.
