Dual SD card guide

Advantages of a dual SD card setup:

  • If the OS somehow gets corrupted or defect or if you break something while tinkering, it's easier to replace/re-flashing the cfw. No need to re-copy all the roms/scraped images.
  • Your saves/retroarch configs are stored on the roms card. They are safe there in case a update goes wrong or the OS card fails.
  • You can easily swap between cards, if you have more than one rom/OS card.
  • You can swap rom cards between devices that have different display panels.
