      both

      So when you try to transfer something bigger than 56.8 MB to your roms folder through your network it fails?

        If you put the sd card in a pc, you are only seeing the boot/config partition. You need to put it in the Pi and transfer ROMs to it by usb or network, check the documentation.

          @devin_205 56mb is the boot partition. Windows cannot see the linux partion so stop trying to expand it in windows. You are going to mess up the image doing that.

              @devin_205 boot is only the boot partition. Your roms dont go there. You cant see the linux partition in windows

                  See the documentation for ways to transfer roms to retropie:

                      There is an issue with UNC shares and windows when there is no password required. I can't find the thread discussing it at the moment.

                          @devin_205 Do you have an USB stick you can use for the transfer? Then use the USB method described in the link @isrnick gave you. It should be the easiest way if you have problems transferring roms over the network.

                          it says cant upload a psx rom

                          Please describe exactly what you did and give us the exact error message(s).
