USB No longer Syncing

[tireiron]

Among the other issues I’ve been having, the biggest one is the USB SYnc function. It worked all of 1 time. Plugged it in, it created the File directories on the drive, returned to my desktop, loaded up a few roms as a test. Ok, It worked, I go back, and Load a few more onto my thumbdrive put it back int he exact same port I had it in the first time. Reboot the pi, ES loads back up, nope, none of the games I added showed up. I haven’t touched any setting after the inital set up.

I checked BLKID everytime I Rebooted, it sees my thumb drive, but ES is not wanting to sync.

PI: Raspberry Pi 2 B
OS Build: SD Image
Controller: Xbox 360 Wired
Guide: The USB drive one for Roms after it didn’t work when I went to add more roms. And the First time setup for SD Card.
Filesystem Expanded: Yes
File Path: Not sure on that.

I did a search and I could find nothing on my issue.

Anyone have any idea on how to allevaite this, its really giving me a headache.

Put a folder on your USB drive called retropie and try again.

USB ROM Service Not Working

It would also be helpful to specify which SD version you installed.

My apologies, 2.6 version.

And Ill try it, will make a nother post after this test.

BTW update your setup script first and then enable the USB ROM service from the setup menu in the setup script, and then try the steps listed above.

Updated it, all seems to work now except not I got to try and get the n64 and GBA emus working, Ill search for that.

The wiki is a very useful resource for figuring out individual emulators and the file types needed.
