The RP2 comes with a 32 GB microSD card. Do NOT format or erase this card before backing up the files it comes with, as these are the files required for RetroidOS to work. If your card is erased, damaged, or accidentally formatted, you can find the necessary files (but without any games) [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Li1LR9Lc9-cMIFtM7UXWPB8oDDTPqtAi/view here]. If you want more than 32GB of storage in your RP2, you will need to replace the 32GB card with another card. If you want to use RetroidOS | The RP2 comes with a 32 GB microSD card.

If you want more than 32GB of storage in your RP2, you will need to replace the 32GB card with another card. If you want to use RetroidOS, you will also need to copy the critical files over to the new card, in exactly the same directory structure.

Whichever micro SD card you use in your RP2, it can be set up either as internal storage or external storage. Depending on your needs, you may wish to have both an external and internal card, or just one or the other. To swap between cards, make sure to turn off your device before removing one card and inserting the other. If you have an internal card and an external card, you will need to boot up the RP2 in one mode or the other with the incorrect card inserted. In this case it is probably best to swap cards while switched off in RetroidOS mode, as this likely offers less chance for damage to critical files. | Whichever micro SD card you use in your RP2, it can be set up either as internal storage or external storage.
