Put USB Synced files back on Internal SD card
-
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 usecp -r
of the various folders you wush to copy. But can't give you a command right now -
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 systemBut 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.
