As per title.

Deck is being sent for repairs as the D-pad has stopped working entirely.

Has anyone had to factory reset and restore where they’re using EmuDeck?

Installed emulators, games, and particularly the saves, have a bad feeling I’m gonna lose some stuff in this process.

You could use a flash boot drive to make a disk image of your deck right now as it is and then restore that image when you receive your refurb.

Not sure how well it would work but something like Hiren’s Boot CD comes with a large number of utilities. I used it recently to make an image of my boot SSD to restore to if I didn’t like the distro I was trying.

You can also use the “Disks” app in Gnome to export a disk image. So any Gnome distro (like Fedora or Ubuntu) would be fine.
