Navigate to your desktop (or wherever you saved the tarball) with cd ~/Desktop/ and compress the tarball with the command xz -9 -e retropie.tar.
* and this will create the retropie.tar file on your desktop. The command is sudo tar -cvpf ~/Desktop/retropie.tar. From the command line on your primary computer, navigate to where the 'retropie' partition is mounted (on OS X, try cd /Volumes/retropie).
tar file of the main RetroPie filesystem (the 'retropie' partition). (OS X users: type diskutil list at the command line to get this easily.) While that downloads, write down the full sizes of the two partitions on the RetroPie SD card ('boot' and 'retropie' as of this writing).You will need the full NOOBS download (not NOOBS Lite) since we will be using the included Raspbian image as a base. Download the latest RetroPie image and flash an SD card (or other volume) with it.

This will allow you to use the full power of your computer to create the compressed disk image and probably save you hours.įor OS X users, here is a tutorial for mounting the filesystem, and you can install the tar and xz commands using Homebrew. While RPi's instructions imply they can be followed directly from the Pi itself, you may be able to find plugins for your primary computer's operating system to allow read access to the ext-formatted partition of the SD card. You will need read access to all partitions of the flashed SD card. These instructions are largely based on the instructions for creating a custom OS image on the NOOBS GitHub repository

Here's how to convert a RetroPie SD Card image to a NOOBS-compatible image. It has the added benefit of making it easy to set up the Pi to boot multiple operating systems. NOOBS is an easy way to set up an SD card for a Raspberry Pi.
