Thank you for these instructions! Just followed this process on the Ubuntu 22.10 release and it worked...eventually. Had to be patient during the first boot and continue past some sort of emergency mode twice. Then edit the fstab file after finally booting so it didn't fight with berryboot. But it worked!!
Hi Lee, I use Berryboot and have a stack of different images in a ISCSI disk within my Synology NAS. It works really well and no need to have a seperate external drive as all images can be booted via my network from the NAS.
Wow. That sounds cool.
Do you need to be connected to ethernet for this setup?
Good job, I have been looking for something like this and experimented a bit but no luck. I have my regular SD card running a website. The cool thing is I can convert that to berryboot format too, and not lose any data, at least thats my understanding. Good info!
A common presumption is everyone is at the same level of accomplishment and details are insignificant. When one presumes to be an information provider the details are in the presentation.
Do I sudo or not, is a start.
I understand the task at hand, when it didn't work for you to start, is no more advanced at this time, for others less accomplished.
Great video, as usual, managed to get twister up and running.
Hi Lee, Sorry to go a bit off subject but you may wish to investigate the massive different in the speed that the USB To SATA adaptors can have especially in random read speeds, here some results changing nothing but the adaptor
Cheap JMicron as found all over Ebay
Sequential write speed 135685 KB/sec (target 10000) - PASS
Random write speed 5979 IOPS (target 500) - PASS
Random read speed 3883 IOPS (target 1500) - PASS
CSL USB 3.0 to SATA (Amazon)
Sequential write speed 240941 KB/sec (target 10000) - PASS
Random write speed 17120 IOPS (target 500) - PASS

JMicron Controller are crap no Performance and too much power consumption
Thanks is it this one?

Yes that the one, I'm not saying it's the best but better then the eBay one and just a pound more, the only thing I'll say is the 12v input uses a very small jack not very standard, not that is a standard for barrel jacks
Your CSL USB 3.0 to SATA uses an older ASM1053 chipset, if you live in UK, you should try it with UGREEN SATA to USB 3.0 Adapter(£11.99 w/ Newest ASM1153E), you may be able to squeeze some extra KB/sec, specially for random reading and sequential writing speeds.
good tutorial and congratz for the 20000 !
I'm subscribed to the channel, because I definitely learn a lot from it. I have no doubts the author/content creator is a great guy. However, I just wished he could make an effort to not sound so monotonous. It would indeed earn him more subscribers. Sometimes it's not what you say, but how you say it.
Thanks, I was able to use this to get Raspi OS Bullseye on to Berryboot.
Thanks! This is just what I was looking for!
Thanks this is going to be great for everyone.
Thank you so much for this video. I was finally able to setup Retropie, Ubuntu and Pi OS all from SD card on my Pi 4. The only problem was that LibreElec wasn't able to convert.
For Ubuntu, did you convert a working backup image or the downloadable setup image? I can't get a Mate setup image or working image to boot.
Should be fun to boot Berryboot from SSD
Thanks . I got it to work too. But android(lineage os) wont work. It gives an error.
Ok thanks for letting me know. 👍🏻
No problem.👍🏽
any luck??!!
@@Lukes-Tech @leepspvideo
Yes, it works except for the android variants - lineage as well as FydeOS.
When I try to convert official FydeOS_for_you_Pi400_v11.4_SP2.img to bb image, it fails. although no error, 4 KB converted image gets created. When I looked at the fdisk -l output, I noticed 12 partitions for FydeOS. Similarly there are 4 partitions for lineage. Further www.berryterminal.com/doku.php/berryboot/adding_custom_distributions does not advise anything, for this exceptional scenario. If either of you have been successful, please share a video with steps (howTo)
i just did it with retro pi4 and it worked thank u so much
Great job, thank you. Just for clarification because it is not clear to me regarding your unsuccessful trials of previous day, do you mean that converting a 64 bit OS you need to do it on a 64 bit host, or this is irrelevant?
I don’t think it matters.
Is there a way to boot from berryboot without a microSD card? If there isn't, are there any other alternatives?

Fantastic walkthrough Lee! I have tried to BerryConvert FydeOS but apparently it doesn't work. Is this one of the operating systems that cannot be berryconverted?
I expect so due to the unusual partition and the way ChromeOS updates
@@leepspvideo damn, i downloaded and installed berryboot for fydeOS, any news, there is a convertible version?
ty for the video btw
Hello! This video and all your work and efforts are so much appreciated. I'm going to research more online, but when I use BerryConverter with my .img files, it runs rather quickly (unlike yours) and completes generating a 1 MB file.
Was THIS part of the problems you went through before that you'd mentioned? If so, how did you (and how do I) fix it?
Any help much appreciated!
It was a long time ago. Try to convert something standard like Raspberry Pi os to check its working.
This older video may help. Might be something in the comments

@@leepspvideo Thanks for the reply and suggestion. No, it still did not work. As I said in a reply on that video,, I don't seem to have a valid /mnt/etc/fstab file because BerryConverter AND other files want to use it but can't find it. Why? I can't use the GUI version of BerryConverter either for this same reason (same error, same result).
Great job again. Step by step you'll be working your way Up to serve a Windows and any other system on the SBC, Will ya?
I don’t understand
@@leepspvideo The fact that it's a matter of time before we will have windows and another is on our SSD booting up. Using, for the moment, berryboot and making it almost possible to run an Xp or 98se on it. Time will tell. But would it be possible, Linux is FAT32 and windows is NTFS. We would have to partition our SSD in half to make it possible.
Something about Windows on raspberry pi... Will you add gpu drivers for Rpi 3 b+/4b
Thank you!!!!!
I tried this at first, and it didn’t work, but I tried replacing b2 with berryboot
only problem I had was I got the os from berryboot site. However Ubuntu 18 just loaded to a purple screen, rp os and twister os would not update, raspi config does not work, if you set an overclock and restart the system it does not store it just resorts to stock again. So whilst it was nice to have it, I went back to rp os and retropie with noobs and they work fine.
I don’t have any of these problems it’s weird that you have led all of these problems.
@@Lukes-Tech CommanderPi doesnt work in twister OS on berryboot, also manually changing the /boot/config.txt has no effect on the pi performance
@@Lukes-Tech I looked into it more, and seems a few berryboot images will not update, and apparently the raspi-config tool does not work, but does if you use commands in terminal.
Oh ok sounds good
For OC, you will need to manually added the line in berryboot consol right at the beginning.
When Berryboot screen comes up, go to Edit and choose the config.txt tab.
Then manually add it there.
Great!, Well, looks like i am gonna tranfer all the img's to the berryboot menu, also the 512gb Virtualman's retropie image...... will take a long process, but i think i know a way......
Loek, please let me know if it works, this is the main image I want to use!
Louis Jager I was just thinking this could be good for those images but wasnt sure if they would work
Did it work?
Great video. I just have one question since I am a newbie: Does the new OS work without the USB-Stick (where the converted image was located) after installation ? Or must it be always stuck in the Raspberry Pi? Thank you for an answer
I'm running this script like this "./berryboot_conv.sh HamPi_v1.0.img HamPi_v1.0_berry.img" on a Rpi 4 8GB running Buster 32bit in a 32GB SD card. but keep getting this error "device-mapper: reload ioctl on loop0p2 failed: Invalid argument create/reload failed on loop0p2 mount: /mnt: /dev/mapper is not a block device." The script tries to mount image partitions but it's failing to mount them to /mnt. I even tried the python script from the github and no use. Not sure if there is a mod that can be done to the script or a workaround
Thanks, very long tame, I want load retropie with berryboot, and this video help me do it, thank you friend
Followed this Video to the T
and it worked very well
Thanks Very much
Tried it with LibreELEC
I have a new issue though I now get an error that says 'can't access tty job control turned off'
Any solutions
Grazie mille :-)
I have a Pi 3B running BerryBoot images from a SSD. If I get a Pi 4, how do I stop the BB installer from reformatting my SSD during setup?
Is it possible to have android 10 with berryboot ?
You, guy, the lifesaver)
I converted an image of TwisterOS and was able to boot off a SSD via Berryboot, however RetroPie doesn't seem to work anymore. It starts, and brings up the splash screen of Sega Genesis game, then quits. I tried installing a converted copy of RetroPie downloaded from BerryBoot site, but had the same issue. A TwisterOS installed without BerryBoot to a micro SD card works fine. Any suggestion?

HELP!!!! I have 3 image files loaded on my USB stick. When I go to select my image non are displayed. I can see my file system and navigate through it, but no .img files display. These were all optimized for berryboot. WTH am I doing wrong?

Is it possible to make a convertible Windows 10 Arm64 image for use with BerryConverter?
Windows 10 on Pi boots differently. I don’t think anyone has managed yet.
I have a problem.
1. Download Raspberry
2. sudo update, sudo upgrade, restart
3. sudo rpi-update
4. Raspberry update (boot) kernel, but erased original (boot kernel) and BerryBoot don’t work.
If I copy’paste’ old BerryBoot to SD Card again work, but have old kernel.
Someone have solution how update (kernel) Raspberry?
Because 2 kernel it’s impossible to work side to side on SD Card when Raspberry Pi start (boot menu).
Hello, did you by any chance try this with Home Assistant OS? I wanted to see if it works with this image before I went ahead and tried to convert it.
I didn’t

How exactly did you add Twister OS when the unarchived image is over 11GB and Berry Boot only reads FAT32? Can Berry Boot read certain compressed file formats? I tried with .xz and .zip without success. Can it read exFAT?
i have the same question
@@RelihSchneider , turns out that it isn't necessary to remove it from the archive. Alex Goldcheidt also has a repository of pre-made images that include Twister OS at this point. That is the easiest way to go about it.
@@akagordon thanks , but for example, alex Goldcheidt put the last Pi Wizard v2.1 file for Raspberry Pi 4 wich is over 12gb .zip.
How do I put it on a usb whose limit is 4gb being in fat 32? i dont understand
@@RelihSchneider I don't remember the exact procedure at this point. However, I remember that Berry Boot uses a type of compression known as "squash", though with the .img format. It results in a much smaller file size. The Berry Boot version of Twister OS is only around 3.5 GB. Search for "berryboot alexgoldcheidt Twister OS v1.9.3 for Raspberry Pi 4" and it should be the first result via Google. From there click "Download OS Image" next to the appropriate OS and it will redirect to the respective Source Forge page.
At the last step of the conversion, I get "sed: can't read /mnt/etc/fstab: No such file or directory
I haven’t tried for a long time. Try converting a different os to test
Hello. Would you be so kind and help me create the berryboot image of an piCorePlayer 8.1.0 64 bit for RPI 4B? I have installed the downloaded image file (pcp from theirs site) using Raspberry Pi Imager, botted up the RPI with it. Second, I have created a sd card image using your tutorial "Backing up an OS Image and convert to Berryboot. Ubuntu Mate download Links. Raspberry Pi 4.". When I am trying to create the berryboot image there is an information that "sed: cannot read /mnt/etc/fstab: no such file or directory". And of course the system is not booting from this image even that it was added to the BerryBoot menu.

Everything I tried was in the video. Some operating systems aren’t compatible
Am I an idiot or like was this not helpful at all?
I'm running Ubuntu trying to do all of this and having zero luck.
Ubuntu is a 64bit os not everything works on the Pi. The best operating systems to use for compatibility are Raspberry Pi OS 32bit based.
Anyone else have swapfile issues with the 64bit pi?
will this work for an .iso ?
Unlikely as Raspberry Pi operating systems don’t come as ISO’s. It’s meant for systems that already work on the Pi.
Can you Convert berryboot image 2 normal image ?
I haven’t tried, you could seek out the original
I need to use Berryboot SquashFS OS in no Berrtboot MicroSD. When create backup from berryboot i have SquashFS img
