      So, i've get a HDD just to storage my retropie games and files. But since the HDD is too big, i'm thinking about puting some other emulators and roms on the same HDD, for example, my gamecube's emulator that i use on my deaktop and it's roms. Can i have some problem by doing that? Maybe some deconfiguration or some crashes, stuff like this?

        @vahnxdean Just keep things in separate folders- or better yet, different partitions - and you won't have problems.

          @mitu just one doubt: when i plug my HDD on my desktop, i didn't see my game's files (cause of that linux need to see them and stuff). Is there any chance of me to partition the HDD and kinda split the occupied files in half and have some problem with this? (sorry if it's a dumb question)

            @vahnxdean Is your desktop running Windows or Linux ? How is your HDD formatted (partition, filesystem) ?
