        Same problem here

        i use emulationstation tools to copy my roms from SD to my USB HDD (NTFS)
        then in emulationstation i use the option to change the local where to load my roms from to /media/pi/SAMSUNG/RetroPie

        system asks to reboot

        when i reboot, emulationstation logo appears and then black screen with error

        "terminate called after throwing an instance of boost::filesystem::error
        permission denied /media/pi/SAMSUNG/Retropie/roms/amstradcpc"

        in XFCE i check properties of my USB drive and Pi is the owner (R&W)

                @caioschiavo No idea what emulationstation tools are, nor am I familiar with pippleware. Also, not sure how you are mounting the usb drive - whether it's via pippleware or usbromservice. You should use the instructions here to mount the usb drive - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive/

                You can try RetroPie-Setup / configuration / reset rom permissions

                ls -la /media/pi/SAMSUNG/Retropie/roms/amstradcpc
                

                will give some details about the permissions.

                Adjusting emulationstation config is also not the recommended way of using the usb drive for rom storage (will get overwritten).

                  when i follow https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive/ not worked

                  because i dont have usbromservice as an option on tools, i think pipplware disable

                  so i do all the steps, but not worked

                  boot is fine, but in ES menu only appear 2 itens, settings and pipplware, and duplicated
