Install BerryBoot¶

Note: It is assumed that you have already mounted your SD card at /mnt in this example:
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/berryboot/berryboot-20170527-pi0-pi1-pi2-pi3.zip
mkdir berryboot
cd berryboot
7z e ../berryboot-20170527-pi0-pi1-pi2-pi3.zip
cp -r ./* /mnt/
umount /mnt
Now insert your SD card, a keyboard, mouse and USB storage device into your Raspberry Pi and turn it on.
Follow the on screen instructions to install BerryBoot.
Install PES BerryBoot Image¶
Download the PES BerryBoot image for your model of Raspberry Pi from above and unzip it.
Once you get to the BerryBoot menu editor screen proceed as follows:
Hold down the left mouse button on the Add OS menu button and select Install from USB stick.
Select the PES BerryBoot image, e.g. pes-2.8-2020-02-15-rpi2-3-berryboot.img256
Once installed select Edit Config and go to the config.txt and change the GPU memory to 384.
Now you can click Exit to reboot your Rapsberry Pi.
Once rebooted you should now see the PES BerryBoot image as an OS that you can boot.
Your installation is now complete.
Note
Note: you will see an error when PES boots regarding enabling swap. This can be ignored. See issue 48 for further details.
