I am back, well rested and ready to go on what could be my final attempt before I give up.

9:52pm
-What I did different, formatted RP Micro SD card to FAT32 (32gb card) previously was ntfs, I don't even know if it matters. I'm unplugging my ethernet wire. I'm transferring the rom folders that screwed it up in the first place, first.

Transferring over 3 'problem' folders first, plugging external into pi. works, transferring over every rom folder but about 4 now.

3. mostly all rom folders are transferred, about to test it now.
4. boost file system error as seen above..... i dont know what to do.
