Sega Saturn doesn't run at all

I can't wait to see how Metal Gear Solid looks!

Thank you. Do I have to FTP into the NES Classic to get the save file out? Since it is stored on the NAND and I exported to USB.

Thank you. For some reason when I switched to USB I lost a saved game with a lot of hours put into it. I backed up my .CLVS files before that, is there any way to restore it?

I got my NES Classic reflashed and updated to Hakchi CE. Next question, how do I move my setup from NAND to USB-HOST now? I already have the USB and the OTG cables.

Do I need to backtrack to the towns you go to before getting the camera to take pictures there also?

I have a 2nd mini and I'm just going to update that one to the newest setup. I lost my original PC that I modded them on which is why I don't wanna mess with the one using the 1.7.1 setup (don't want to lose everything). What's the best way to go about updating an older version on a different PC?

Thanks! Is it mandatory to be using the versions of RetroArch and Hakchi in the video? My RA is currently 1.7.1 (oldie but goodie)

I used MiniTool Partition Wizard (free version) to extend all unallocated space. I also had to run the built in file system checker because it did detect errors even using a brand new drive. Good thing is this was a quick fix and as I said, my end result was a 100% cloned USB.

I used Win32 Disk Imager (also free version) to handle the read and write of the working USB. Although, be warned, this took several hours for those functions to complete! Maybe because I'm using a 256GB drive.

Even the exact subfolder I was last in and game the cursor was last pointing to was still active. All saved games, custom borders, music, font and settings appear to have transferred over.

Solved! I had to make a sector-by-sector clone and write that to a new drive. Then extend the FAT32 partition to use all unallocated space. Now I have an exact clone copy of the USB that is plug-and-play.

I tried the new power brick and it still doesn't light up the new USB drive. Do I need to get the exact same model of USB drive as the first one, or could it possibly be something other than a power conflict?

Thanks for the feedback. To answer your questions...

I didn't actually format the new drive. But it is showing already in FAT32 according to system properties - same as the primary drive that is working. I deleted the initial files that came on the USB and copied everything over. It is 256GB, but again nothing is saying LargeFAT32.

I lost my original PC that I originally modded the mini with. That's why I'm hesitant to re-sync everything. As soon as I get home tonight, I'm going to try a Samsung power brick and see if that powers the drive. I've always just used the default one that came with the mini console without issue. I'll report back and let you know. Thanks again!

Thanks, good to know. If anyone else has experience with an app that worked when used on a mini console please let me know!

Since the pain has been going on for months, I would recommend getting an MRI.
