Did you just save my life? I spent the past 2 days trying to find a way to clone batocera to another drive. Guys I'll find out in the morning. Thanks a million.
A heads-up for people who are getting a resize error when booting up and _/tmp/resize.log_ says "Secondary partition table overlaps the last partition by __ blocks!", just use GParted from another Linux distro and click the _check_ option for the _userdata_ partion then apply. It will fix the partition. After that you might have to comment the _autoresize=true_ again. (I kept seeing the error message, but it was already fixed) Anyway, great video! Many thanks!
what if I wanted to make an image of the build ? to store the image offline incase down the road i need to make another drive? what software would i use for this?
Great video. I think aimething went wrong as I got an error message aferr the validation step, tried to boot and it nearly seemed to go fine, but after the batocera animation/intro theme, it hit a black screen and doesnt recover. Unsure how to fix
Hi. Can you help me. I cloned my 500Gb batocera drive to 2t drive. Batocera is working but could not remove the hashtag from conf file because there was not hashtag in the first place. What can I do. It does not resize the drive when I start batocera.
almost the same to me. I'm cloning my 38ver batocera in 64gb flashdisk to 500gb hard drive. I already deleted the hashtag before autoresize. Still can't extend the size of my hard drive, still got 50gb on it, and the rest is listed as unallocated. helwp
Hi, i bought a kinhank 500go with Batocera 33. Because i failed at booting it myseelf, it was cheap and i can have many roms available. I want to clone only a part of it on a 128go USB Key. The idea would be to have Batocera and only the games i want to keep. Is it possible or do i need another drive of minimum 500go and then erase the roms ? Maybe by flashing all files except the Roms one and then manually add the system and games i want to keep ?
I followed these steps exactly but after rebooting I still have the same size. Old SSD was 1TB trying to upgrade to 2TB. I've tried several times. Just not working for me.
@@gabrieldomingo6998Did you solve it? Mine gets as far as the batocera theme jingle bit and animation but then won't go any further. I'm going to leave it half an hour and see if it's just being slow
This is awesome - never could figure out how to clone different size drives without losing space. Thanks!

Worked perfectly on an 8tb HDD, thanks brother 🤙
Great tip on the auto resizing. I’ve always copied my folders over after installing on new drives and this will save hours!

Thank you mate, straight forward and easy to follow your a legend
Great short and awasome tutorial. Thanks.
Very userful, I was looking exctly for this informations! Thanks!
Same here. Always thought it had to be the same size.

Thank you so much i was loosing my mind with the partitioning!
I put it in my pc and it didn't work! the Batocera website says to use notepad++ on windows.
This is so useful
Thank you 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Will this method work for a Retrobat build also? I want to clone my current 2tb Retrobat build to a larger 5tb hard drive.
No Retrobat é só copiar todo o conteúdo de um disco para o outro
thank you

Also can i put batocera on a VM on my proxmox server 🤔...
Thank you.. Would this method work cloning Retrobat HD?
I haven’t tried it with Windows/Retrobat but I believe it should work.
did you resize it in windows?

Sorry to hear you are having this issue. Maybe wipe the 2tb drive and then try again.
I managed to resize from windows disk management, it was super easy @@basicdadtech
Right click the file and make sure read only is not checked

All the roms/games transfer???
Did you lose any data or progress in your games?

Can you add the link google drive link for downloading the batocera file
Good day Sir! can you make a tutorial on how to play batocera direct on windows or pc.. does not need change boot setup. thanks
You might want to look into Retrobat. Similar to Batocera but it’s within Windows.
Does PS3 save/user data also get cloned or will I lose that
That’s a good question. I think it would but not 100% sure.

Stucked in starting haahha
Can somebody help me
Stuck when starting system? I had same problem with my pc but then I tried with my other pc and everything was fine. Strange 🤔
