For SNES specifically, you could about have every game ever made, your save data, and a light OS on a nice sd card.

There are some Pi rigs like that.

Thank you very much.

Kinda hijacking, pardon me, but is there anyone reading who’d be willing to explain the specifics of “Microsoft eats boot sectors” or direct me to some documents?

I have a laptop with Microsoft / Linux partitioned on a single internal drive dual booting between them and have never… well never known that I had such an issue, but I’ve broken it in a lot of creative ways, and maybe this Microsoft greedy boot behavior would inform some of it and help me make it smoother
