      Hello Guys and Gals,

      I followed the guide here (https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Use-an-external-usb-storage-device-on-recalbox-(EN)), and successfully backuped the files and settings of an old recalbox image. But, I want all my things back on the internal sd card (portable recalbox, big usb stick would be an issue).

      How do I do about doing this?

      Thank you ahead of time.

        I think all that is needed is a simple "cp" Linux command, but I'm too nervous to do it myself less I hose either the USB or my fresh recalbox install.

        Original recalbox 4.0 files --> USB sync

        What I want. USB --> SD card of 18.02.09 recalbox install

          @dh04000 the original files should still be on your sd

            @dh04000 the easiest us to start your "new" sd without the usb stick, stop es, plug the stick, check with mount where it has been mounted, and then preferably use cp -r of the various folders you wush to copy. But can't give you a command right now

              @substring

              I want to replace the contents of most(?) /recalbox/share with the contents found in /media/usb0/recalbox/

              Both contain:

              bios extractions lost+found roms screenshots
              cheats kodi music saves system

              But my USB has my previous Recalbox games, saves, and theme.

              What would the cp -r command look like for this?

              Thank you very much as always Substring. 🙂

                I think I want to transfer my roms, saves, bios, and a custom emulationstation theme (under system?)

                  Never mind. The USB drive was being weird when plugged in the raspberry pi zero USB port, so I pulled the files out and transfered the files by samba from my PC.
