Putting game roms on a usb drive but the images and videos on a sd card
-
Good Afternoon
A quick question...
I am currently setting up my Pi 3B+ with a 64gb SD card and 160gb hard drive. I have all the games on the hard drive with all the metafiles and game images in the same folder as the roms.
Is there a way to place the images on the SD card only and the game roms on the hard drive separately?
I know I will have to alter the gamelist.xml to reflect the changes to the folder structure but is this possible. I ask as when I access the roms folder on the pi it automatically links to the hard drive not the SD card.
Thanks in advance

When you're referring to 'images', do you mean the scraped game images OR to CD-ROM images ? Either way, you can do that, but you'll have to fiddle with the
gamelist.xml
files. -
Thank you for replying @mitu
I mean the folders that store the game art, video snaps and wheel art.
Leave them on the SD card then change the metadata in the gamelist.xml file to point to the Roms folder on the SD card.
