      I tried looking for this answer in the support docs but did not see it, so apologies if I missed it.
      I've mounted a USB (SSD) which holds my ROMS, while running off a microSD. But, when mounting the USB SSD, which folders transfer - just ROMS? Also the Config and BIOS folders - or do those stay on the MicroSD? Thanks to anyone who knows!

        @breadpie If you created a Retropie folder on your USB drive, and are just using it to transfer games, then I think it just transfers the same data as when using Retropie-mount.

        Retropie-Mount, meaning the games run from your usb drive, it also transfers BIOS, retropiemenu, roms, and splashscreen info. As far as I know, neither transfer any configs. Screen Shot 2021-08-20 at 3.45.39 PM.png
