          @chris419 You don't need to move anything. If you used the automatic method, the proper folders will be created automatically and you'll be able to see them on the PC.
          From what's you're saying, did you try the manual method ?

                @chris419 In Linux, the commands, as well as filenames, are case-sensitive. So copy and paste the command from the docs AS IS:

                # correct command
                sudo mv -v /home/pi/RetroPie/* /media/usb0/
                
                # wrong command 
                # sudo mv -v/home/pi/retropie/* /media/usb0/
                

                If this gives an error, then please paste the error here so we can take a look.

                              My brother lives a block over and has been promising to bring my sling blade back for over a month. It's such a nice day out, I think I'll walk over there and borrow it back.
