Transfer of Roms from USB stick now takes too long.

since I have not changed anything for transferring roms to my pi since I got it.
Which likely means you did not update it. There have been updates to the usbromservice recently. Mostly to fix some bios transfer issues. It can be wonky if you're transferring huge files too. Try updating first. There are other options than usb which are more reliable described on the docs.

@herb_fargus I did do an update tonight, for all of the packages. As well as a few days ago. I will update USB rom service again and see if my problem goes I will get back soon.

It didn't work after I updated the rom service and put in a USB that once again had no new roms, I even deleted the one on the stick. It still does it. I have not used samba share before and I much prefer the usb stick option honestly.
Also other users have reported similar issues such as this.

I tried using SCP but having some issues. If I changed my password and username for the pi thats what I type in for SCP right?
Also would really like for someone else to confirm issues with usb as well. I beginning to thing that retropie 4.3 may be a cause as well. -
So still having no luck.

Managed to figure out samba share for retropie. Which I admit is more easier. But still would like others input for the usb transfer of roms too.

@redbatman please do not bump posts. this is one of the forum rules, available here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first
you'll also find you get more responses if you supply the information requested in that link.

@redbatman after you update usb rom service, you need to disable it then immediately re enable it.
As far as scp did you go into raspi config and enable ssh?
-
@dankcushions Uh this is weird cause I didn't bump this post at all. I was at work at the time.

@redbatman right, maybe a ghost did those two bumps on your account above? that seems the most likely explanation.
it is my sworn duty to keep this forum ghost-free; i will have to issue a temporary ban to any possessed accounts if the rules are broken again.
