Hi all,

With the announcement of the OLED, I want to replace my existing deck.

Is there an easy way to convert all my mods/adjustments, etc. to the new one? If my emulators and roms are stored on an SD card, will the transfer be as simple as removing it from one deck and placing it into another?

Thanks!

    Exactly what I was wondering. I would assume that you can just plug your current SSD into the new deck and it would be good to go. But not sure if drivers for the new hardware in the new deck would cause problems. I’d love to just order the new deck, swap the SSDs, and not have to set everything up again. I’m sure someone will inevitably try it

      while this maybe one of the more difficult ways to move everything, it should work fine as long as they are both on the same version of steamOS.

      You might have issues if you use a pre-3.5 build on OLED or not boot properly
