@granderjoree just for future reference you need to remove the # before the line in the config file in order for it to be read. # means ignore this line. That's why permit root login was not working for you.

@stephendm said in Move game collections on retropie, to individual folders? Can it be done??:

Then why not just copy them into the same directories on your image?
