I'm going to upgrade my SSD...but I'd like to still have my save states on Emudeck.

Rules:
I just upgraded my SSD yesterday. I used an SD card with Ventoy on it to live-boot Linux Mint. Then I plugged in a portable hard drive using a USB c to USB a adapter. Then I opened a terminal, and the onscreen keyboard (from Mint accessibility settings), I did 'dd if=/dev/nvme01n of=/path/to/hardisk/steam.iso'
Then, I took apart the deck, and swapped the SSD. Then I repeated the process above like: 'dd if=/path/to/harddisk/steam.iso of=/dev/nvme01n'
After that, I booted the system back into steam without a hiccup. Perfect clone.
