      Hi,

      I've got some :) PSX ISO's in a LUKS encrypted "PSX" folder on USB3 1TB HDD.
      How can I open the PSX files in current RetroPie?
      (this is a Raspberry Pi 3 with current non-beta RetroPie)

      Thanks!

      Jesse

        I've never tried this but this is a good question.

        I looked around and found this tutorial:

        Let us know if this works!

          Also if all your PSX games are in this "PSX" folder on your external HDD, you can make a custom es_systems.cfg file that will tell EmulationStation to look at the external HDD for the PSX games.

          (If you haven't already done this) you can copy es_systems.cfg to your local directory.

          cp /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg ~/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
          

          Then edit ~/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg and change "<path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx</path>" to

          <path>/media/usb0/PSX</path>
          

          (or where ever you have your external HDD mounted and the correct "PSX" folder)

          Note: you want to do the local/custom version because when you update RetroPie, it will reset/override your /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg. More information about that here:
