      Cannot find any edit, so cannot change it.

      Update.. I'd got it to work by SSH into the pie and placed the rom into the pie.
      So retropie cannot read the usb stick making me need to make a retropie on a 32gb sd card instead of the current 8gb I have now.
      Just to be able to stick som roms on it.

      Thanks for the effort guys

        For me it worked like it is described in the wiki.
        Format Stick to Fat32, create retropie-mount on the stick, enable usb mount from RetroPie Setup, plug in stick, reboot.
        Sometimes it shows that usb mount service failed but it actually never really did for me.

          @nubbix That is very strange! Have you tried rebooting? If so, I recommend you backup your current setup and freshly install the newest version of retropie and do it again.

            I just read that sometimes you need to reboot while your usb stick is you raspberry pi. If that doesn't work, you can try transferring roms via wifi or SSH.

              Tried all, rebooting, insert with retropie, retropie-mount etc. Nothing works.
              Also tried with usbmount enabled and without, with hardcopy to usb and without.
              Nothing work, even tried 4 differnt usbs.

              But it is working just fine now, need to ssh into the pi and copy the roms over. Tried both nes and snes and both are working just fine.

              So at least for now I do not need an usb so it seems.

                Press the three vertical dots at the bottom right of the first post.

                    I don't thinks that's true. The three vertical dots do not signify editing. Nor is it a known symbol for such.

                    Maybe changing the three vertical dots to the word 'edit' would make more sense.

                    Looks like problem exists with the designer.

                      @Yonut I use Android devices. Those 3 vertical dots indicate additional options.

                        Being a web developer/designer I can say it's unconventional for a frequent action like edit to be hidden inside a context menu while reply and quote are outside of them. With that being said though, it doesn't take too long to figure out where the edit link is.

                          Sounds like RetroPie is NOT shiite after all. Please, login to this site from any computer in the world with internet access and fix your post title. It is not funny but offensive and insulting to the devs and everyone else here making a contribution who put in a tremendous amount of time and effort so that you can use something for free. Others have made USB work just fine, so it is not RetroPie that is your problem. You posted some good details which is somewhat redeeming--and people were willing to help. Show a little respect.

                            @masteryoer It is unusual but not unheard of. I imagine it is a limitation / option for the forum layout chosen. It may also be a choice that the admins made, i.e. on this forum you cannot delete any post after 300 seconds.

                              @caver01 I think you are wasting your time and effort on this one @caver01 . He got what he wanted and left. But he'll soon run into an issue again. Anyway, horses for courses and all that.

                                This is not the way to ask for things, something is not shit just because you don't know how to make it work. For sure 13 years old or less.

                                You have insulted the work of a lot of people just because you doesn't know how to make it work.

                                Then if you doesn't know how to drive a Lamborghini I suppose that car it's a shit too?
