      Hello reader(s)

      When I extract and transfer retropie to my SD card using etcher I don't have a roms or bios folder.
      Instead I have an "overlay" folder and a bunch of other files.
      Also my PC doesn't find anything if I type \ \RETROPIE in my file explorer.
      How can I fix this?

      ps: I use rasberry pi 3

        @bibbleboberoe What you're seeing on your PC is the boot partition, which is a small part of the SD card containing only a few files. You PC cannot see the Linux partition where ROMs/BIOs/other files are stored. See the Transferring Roms section of the docs. You could read the SD card's Linux partition if you have a Linux PC though, but not from Windows/macOS.
        As for the 2nd problem, is your RetroPie system connected to the network - the same network where your PC is connected ?
