Hi guys, I’m totally a rookie for coding. I just followed the guides to add some emulators to my GS. They are great tutorials and help me a lot. Now I see the OS v0.3, but I can’t find any tutorial on this forum. How can I upgrade my system? Thank you for help~

Use [etcher.io](http://etcher.io) to flash the image file to a micro SD card. It’s simpler and safer than win32diskimager.

Thank you. I have done this job. I find the GS can’t recognize the full storage of the TF card. I just work on it and this problem is solved with GParted. 🙂

For those who are still having trouble or don’t have access to a Linux machine, you can follow these instructions and do it directly on the clockworkpi. Worked for my 128gb.
