They’re saved on my SD card but how do I know that they will be available after upgrading my SSD? And will a new Emudeck install not overwrite my SD card?

    I just upgraded my SSD yesterday. I used an SD card with Ventoy on it to live-boot Linux Mint. Then I plugged in a portable hard drive using a USB c to USB a adapter. Then I opened a terminal, and the onscreen keyboard (from Mint accessibility settings), I did 'dd if=/dev/nvme01n of=/path/to/hardisk/steam.iso'

    Then, I took apart the deck, and swapped the SSD. Then I repeated the process above like: 'dd if=/path/to/harddisk/steam.iso of=/dev/nvme01n'

    After that, I booted the system back into steam without a hiccup. Perfect clone.
