RetroPie Remote Web Editor - Fails if using USB Harddrive

[steptoe]

I've installed the web config editor,w hich is very handy, but after using the USB ROM Transfer utility its telling me the BIOS files now don't exist and also fails with a python error if you try to access the ROM files

Now RetroPie looks for the ROMs and BIOS on my external USB drive it appears the Web Interface hasn't changed the path to the USB drive

Is there a way to manually change the patch so that the Web Interface is pointing to the external USB drive and not the default internal SD Card

This doesn't stop me editing the config files just a minor issues

All emulators and games are found perfectly on the external USB drive

Thanks

@steptoe are you talking about the RetroPie-Manager?

If yes, be aware that the tool is made to manage ROMs only in the usual paths (which is ~/RetroPie/roms and ~/RetroPie/BIOS). If you want to make the tool point to the external USB drive my suggestion is to create symbolic links.

Maybe something like this:

ln -s path/to/roms/dir/on/your/usb/drive ~/RetroPie/roms
ln -s path/to/BIOS/dir/on/your/usb/drive ~/RetroPie/BIOS
