      @scabab1359-0 There are a lot of tutorials on how to attach and program a button attached to the GPIO pins on the Pi. Look them up and familiarise yourself with the process, then you can decide how you want to implement it.

      I'd say that first you would want to test the usb eject scripts, without the buttons, so you'd know that the software part works as you'd like.

          @scabab1359-0 are you looking to hire a programmer? I'll do it; my rate is $35/hour plus expenses, but I'm very inexperienced so it will necessarily require many billable hours of research.

            sudo umount /media/usb
            then something to restart emulationstation to parse the games on the new drive (may as well just turn off the pi / swap usb's / turn back on again)
            . . . . doesn't sound like a great way of doing things tbh
            especially when the issue can be bypassed by using one drive that is large enough for all your roms

                  @scabab1359-0 From what I've read, you're not doing much except making demands on a forum. Best of luck with that.

                    @weirdh from what i have experienced, this forum is full of people who are unwilling to help a guy out... this community [edited] is lovely

                      @scabab1359-0 This community is made of people that work and tinker with RetroPie on their spare time, usually as a learning tool. If someone in the forum has already developed a solution for your problem they can help you with that, but coming to a forum DEMANDING a solution for a specific problem without any will to learn or do anything on your side is not going to lead you anywhere.

                        @scabab1359-0 When I first got my Pi, this community helped me learn the basics of RetroPie, Emulationstation and Linux within ONE week, yet somehow you have unsuccessfully been looking for a solution for six months?

                        You're clearly unwilling to put in the legwork to educate yourself and just want a hand-out without lifting a finger. That's not how it works around here.
