Accessing files on SD Card

[Retro Arcade Fan]

Hey everyone. Is there a way to access my rom files on my SD Card on my PC? When I put the SD card into the PC, I get a folder with lots of files, but no roms. I'm assuming because it's formatted for Linux. Trying to get access to some of my roms without having to copy them over wifi for days.

Thank you!

@Retro-Arcade-Fan You can either use a VM running a posix system, or simpler: use a live media (Ubuntu or any flavour thereof comes to mind).

If you have an external storage you can copy your roms with the help of file manager in RetroPie.

Yeah you're seeing the /boot folder only; the rest of it is unreadable by Windows for the reason you suppose.

You can image the card with win32diskimager and then access the image with 7-zip to view and extract files on your PC.
