Boot with two different SD Cards?

Fri Aug 09, 2013 8:07 pm

Say that I want to emulate video games with one SD Card (using retropie) and want to run NOOBS on the other. Is this possible?

Hi
You can boot with as many different SD cards as you want - not at the same time though!

So I can put one SD Card with, say, NOOBS, shut down, take out the SD Card, then pop in another one running, say, Android and power it on, just the same?

Yes, exactly that.

Lots of us have multiple cards that we switch for backups, testing, alternate uses, etc.
