I thought about putting everything on one SD card but I’d like to use Retro Pie to test it out. Has anyone found an easy way to eject/swap micro SD cards? I find that it’s very finicky to eject it each time and I have to use tweezers each time. Maybe a micro Sd card hub, switch extender or something?

mine pops out if I press on it.

I press mine and slide my fingernail out of the way letting it shoot across the room. Or I grab tweezers to pull it out after the push to unlock step is performed. But generally #1, and I’m not changing cards very often, though I should probably set up a fresh install, I have a V30 A2 card to replace the V30 A1 card, the A2 is supposed to be faster for things like running an OS on an SD card., and I should probably test this.

I find it very fiddly also and wish it was a little easier.
I don’t swap cards often, mainly when swapping between bookworm and retropie setups.
Slightly worried the cards will eventually get damaged.

Just tested and I can confirm the “shoot across the room” technique works quite well. 😄
