roms folders are not created when usb drive is in raspberry pi

[columboscoat]

@sumerian It should copy them to the SD card inserted in the Pi.

@sumerian If you want to play ROMs from a USB rather than transferring them to your Pi this can also be achieved. All the instructions are in the wiki. I don't do it myself. I have 300+ hand chosen ROMs on a 32GB card. I still have 21GB available, even with all the other stuff I have on the card. Saying that, I don't use anything over 16bit Systems and standalone MAME/ aracade games. Full ROM sets are pointless, with too much crap and not needed by the "ordinary" gamer.

@columboscoat thank you very much, I hope I didn't hijack this too much.

@columboscoat I try that now and it said when I click on Retropie setup it takes me to make a black screen with code and says installing packages needed and then says unable to install packages

[columboscoat]

@Bear-Claw Are you connected to the Doubleyoudoubleyoudoubleyou?

[Bear Claw]

[columboscoat]

@Bear-Claw You should do that. Definitely.

[Bear Claw]

it is still saying unable to install packages isb release

[columboscoat]

@Bear-Claw ok. Lets go back to the start. The first thing I would recommend is reinstalling the image. And then everyone knows you have a stock set-up.

[Bear Claw]

doing that right now

[columboscoat]

@Bear-Claw Cool, let me know when you are done. I would like to help you. Also ensure you have the github install instructions available. They help too!

[Bear Claw]

@columboscoat how do you enable the ROM service

[Bear Claw]

columboscoat thanks for you help got it to work thanks

[columboscoat]

@Bear-Claw in the main ES GUI choose Retropie then RetroPie Setup Update RetroPie Setup Script...

[columboscoat]

@Bear-Claw No worries. Glad I could help. Just pass it on...
