    Hi, to keep this simple, My name is Bailey,
    -Retropie 4.4
    -Raspberry 3B
    -connected to a 65 inch OLED TV via HDMI
    -My computer is running win10

    On the First installation instructions, it says: 13 games available. Mine doesn't say that!
    and, when i plug in my 8G usb drive formatted as FAT32, the light blinks and flashes, i wait for it to stop, unplug it and no rom files show up on the computer.

    yes I have gone into the setup and enablede usb rom service, But still, nothing

    Please help,
    Any comments welcome.

    cheers Bailey

      @baileys13now There are no ROMs included in RetroPie's image, you'll have to copy yourself on the USB stick, after the RetroPie creates the folders on the stick, from your PC.

          Did you create a retropie folder on the USB stick before inserting it into your PI ?

              @baileys13now Are you sure it's FAT32 formatted and not exFat ?

                  @baileys13now You can try one of the other methods of transferring the ROMs, if your PI is connected to the network - is that an option for you ?

                      @baileys13now Then please edit your opening post and put a [Solved] before the title of the topic (so that the title reads "[Solved] Need help With usb roms") to mark it as … well, solved. It saves potential helpers time by showing them that here's nothing to help anymore.
