      Very welcome, before you decide on BerryBoot, also see this more recent video on PINN Lite: th-cam.com/video/1Cqta4go45U/w-d-xo.html . I prefer PINN, myself. Yes, it will create separate partitions for each of the OSes installed.

    Thanks for the tutorial. This is the second one of your tutorials that I've felt confident enough to attempt. And for the second time IT WORKED!
    After installing and failing get the standard available Raspberry Pi OS to install I've found that only a Berryboot image can be used (Same for Ubuntu and Twister OS, etc.). I've seen the tutorials on Berryboot Convert, but it really seemed to me to be above my paygrade. Twister 2.0 just came out, any idea on when it'll be updated for Berryboot?
    QUESTION: How to do updates to the OS? I attempted to upgrade both Raspberry Pi OS and Ubuntu but the ugrade failed when booted thru Berryboot, and I suspect the latest full OS needs to be converted for Berryboot instead of just an upgrade, is that so? So, unable to update, until an OS is converted for Berryboot I'm stuck on an older version of an OS? Then when a Berryboot version is available I have to reinstall the entire OS as a new install? That can't be right. What am I missing?
    Again, THANKS!

      Great news Tim, I appreciate the positive comment! I've not tried updating the latest Twister v2.0 yet, not sure when they'll have a new image in BB (SquashFS) format. But if you install the current one, I think you can update it from their update utility in Twister (I did when I first installed it with BB). When I first installed PiOS I was able to update it there as well. Not sure why there are update issues, seems like I may need to dig into that. Also looking at checking out PINN Lite which is similar to BB.

To help answer your question a little more fully, I placed an image of the structure here: wagnerstechtalk.com/rpi4/#SSD_Structure . My reason for going with http vs. https was the cost from my hosting company, they wanted to charge an arm and a leg for an SSL cert and my channel is too small to fund the added expense.

    Funny. I was *just* researching this 30min before this was uploaded. I was curious if I could run 2 retro gaming OSes. I really like the polish of recalbox (I don't care for being kicked to DOS like menus in retropie), but given the issues with Nespi4 case and there's no Steamlink available, I'll just rebuild retropie on an SSD. Maybe use a microsd to play with Recalbox.

    • @WagnersTechTalk
      @WagnersTechTalk  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It should work, I've been researching a follow-up to this video which I plan to cover after the ArgonOne M.2 video. Basically, the image used will need to be in the squashFS format. There is a utility called BerryConverter (Link: github.com/Kingo71/BerryConverter ) that should allow taking an existing Recalbox/RetroPie image and put it int he SquashFS format so it can be easily loaded in BerryBoot.

      Thank you Chris! First, I've not tried importing an existing image into BB. Primarily because the image must exist in the Squash FS which is a bit inconvenient for an existing image (you'll have to run it through a series of conversions). Another option you may want to consider is PINN Lite, video here if needed: th-cam.com/video/1Cqta4go45U/w-d-xo.html I've not tried importing an existing image with it personally, but if it is possible it would likely be easier than BB.

      There is a size limit to the squashfs file system used by BerryBoot and no arcadepunks images are available for download in this way.
