Use same SD Card between devices? (self.retrogaming)

I’m thinking about getting a Retroid Pocket Classic but was wondering whether or not I might be able to use the same SD Card I use for my Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. I was hoping I could resume my saves between devices.

Is this is possible?

EDIT: had originally written RP4P. Updated to Retroid Pocket 4 Pro

A quick poke at the retroid pocket's product page says it's underlying OS is Android 14. Android defaults external storage formatting to fat32 or exFAT, both of which Raspbian or most Linux distros can support (with an extra package in exFAT's case). You should have no problems with each device reading the cards, but I'm not sure what emulators each uses.

Oh no, that’s my bad. I meant to write that as RP4P Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, not a Raspberry Pi 4, but interesting to know all the same!
