    I just got my PiBoy DMB and have to say that transferring roms to it via the flash drive was just amazing. It worked so flawlessly. However, now I have a question. What happens AFTER the first time you do this?

    Say I want to remove a ROM, or want to add another? Do I have to wipe everything, or is this now forever a comparison between two devices? It seemed that when I added a ROM (with the original set already there, that it just copied everything over again and not just the new ROM.

      @agrajag if you want to remove a rom, delete from your SD card. whatever is on the USB stick will be copied over (if a given file already exists in the same location on your SD card, it won't copy).
