Major Changes PLEASE READ if you're coming from an older version!
I gave up on retro Pie after many recurring issues, I'll still support it, but I don't use it any more.
This new release will work with BOTH Retro Pie And recalbox! the setup should be exactly the same for both.
All you have to do, is download the proper one for your system, and rename it as backup
No .sh at the end needed.
In this new version, you'll need to put the 'drive' executable in the folder that has your rom folders.
For recalbox: /recalbox/share/roms/
For RetroPie: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/
if you keep your games elsewhere (like an external drive, just put it in the directory that has all your rom folders "snes" "nes", "n64" etc)
Yes, I know this is annoying, but it keeps the file from getting deleted randomly.
Just pick the version you want,
backup_recal.sh= recalbox version
backup_retro.sh =RetroPie version
drive = needed for either.
If this if your first time setting up the program, just download the file you need, and 'drive' then follow the guide here!
yes, the guide is more written for retropie, just ignore, all the'/home/pi/RetroPie/' stuff, and replace with '/recalbox/share/' if needed.

'Drive' or 'gdrive sync' was created by pageauc.
I DID NOT create the that, and I take no responsibility for it's code,
I personally compiled it from the source code on my own RPI3, if you want to do that yourself,
you can find the code here: https://github.com/pageauc/pi-timolo/tree/master/source
