          https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive/ - but it says fat32, do I just follow this same thing and it will read NTFS?

            Ok I followed it and had it as NTFS, looks liek everyhting copied like it should. now I put 1 rom on there in the nes folder out the usb back into the raspberry (same usb) powered it up and I get this error: emulationstation: /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/emulationstation/es-core/src/rescources/Font.cpp:17: Font::FontFace::FontFace(resourceData&&, int): Assertion '!err' failed. Aborted
            If i take the usb out and restart it books up with no issue, just with no usb now.

              @almulder How did you configure your /etc/fstab ? Can you paste the contents here, surrounded by code quotes ?

                  @almulder Looks ok - do you have the necessary folders created under /home/pi/RetroPie ? BIOS, roms, retropiemenu, splashscreens ?

                      @almulder Then I guess the mount options need could be different. I think it would be easier for you to use 2 partitions - one Fat32 for RetroPie roms and a 2nd one (NTFS) for large files.

                          @almulder Just format the external USB disk with a FAT32 partition - but don't use the whole disk. Follow the instructions in the docs to use it for ROMs and make sure it works. Then create a 2nd partition on said disk with NTFS.

                            ok I went and tried that. same issue. however i decided to start everything over and see if I am missing something. I have had the EasyHack Toolkit script work before so I knew there has to be more to this. well long story short. Looks like this was all due to a bad gamelist.xml file. Sorry to waste your time. (atleast i figured it out). :)
