Reply To: Loading ROMs from a USB stick

[momaw27]

Hello all!

I have all of my ROMS on a 128GB thumbdrive with the es_systems.cfg for all systems pointing directly to my USB drive, and it works great.

A few things I discovered in the process:

1. I had to get rid of the tilde “~” in the roms path when pointing to my USB stick. This is Linuxese for ‘go to root’.

2. I had to be sure where Retropie saw my stick. In my case it was USB0.

So my roms path for SNES looks like this:

/media/usb0/retropie/SNES

This works well for me, but I am looking into using symlinks in the future because every time I update my systems I have to re-edit my es_systems.cfg file… which is a pain.
