Great! Thats sounds like like exactly what I need :D

Yes, I can take a keyboard with me and follow the tutorial to run the roms directly from the USB or use the file manager inside RPi to copy them (I didn’t knew it have a file manager.. :( ).

Thank you very much guys! You helped to make a very retro Christmas day this year :D

Have a nice Xmas!

Yes, I hope so too. Basically I think I can resume my “problem” into this:

I need to plug a pendrive with an empty “retropie” folder on it in order to create the folders structure. What happens if the pendrive already have a “roms” folder, with subfolders and ROMs already saved there. Will RPi delete the existing roms? Will that stop the process of creating the folders due to a folder name conflict? Or will simply ignore it?

To be on the safe side I think my best choice is asking someone to bring a laptop. It will spoil the surprise, but will work for sure ;)

Thanks for the efforts!

Thanks for answering!

I am sorry I didn’t explained better, excuse my english. No one have a RaspberryPi so far. I will receive a RaspberryPi B+ as a present on Christmas. We’ll be in a country house, no internet, no computers or laptops around. Just the TV. So my question is how can I install the ROMs in a brand new RPi without using a computer?. I will carry with me a SD card with the System already preinstalled, a usb pendrive with the ROMs already copied in their respective folders and a couple of usb-SNES controllers.

Following the steps I posted before, do you think I will be able to copy the ROMs into the RPi?

Thanks again!
