Running roms off usb drive

felleg

@stevep AlexMurphy's tone is offensive, but don't let it get in the way. Basically, we just need to know what kind of RetroPie setup you are using so we can help you. (see dankcushions' post)

AlexMurphy

@felleg What in the name of the good great lord has my "tone" got to do with you?

felleg

@AlexMurphy I guess I meant intimidating, or not very welcoming. I know you help much more people on the forum than me and are maybe tired of always seeing similar questions, so don't mind me.

AlexMurphy

@felleg I am happy to help anyone. Please do not say I have an "attitude" when I don't. I'm criticising a lazy help post. @stevep has been about here enough to know what is expected of him when asking for help. Put your white-knight helmet away, please.

stevep

Hey Mr Murphy....don't bother answering any of my "lazy" posts anymore. I don't need your uppity attitude. I'm sure there are plenty of others that won't mind helping me out .I'm pretty new at this and I thought this was a friendly forum...I don't need to be ridiculed ....you sound like a spoiled 18 year old

AlexMurphy

@stevep You sound like a n easily offended [removed]. Get the [removed] over yourself , son. I'll reply to whatever I want. If you want to block people head on back to facebook

stevep

@felleg Thanks for your support...Mr Murphy sounds like a spoiled brat.....anyway I'm running retropie 4.2. I followed the instructions to the letter https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive
but when I reboot it tells me I have no systems installed.....since I posted that ,I removed the usb drive from the pi and it's back to normal(thank God) but I still would like to run my games off of a usb stick...any suggestions?

stevep

@AlexMurphy Sorry about that sonny....you are obviously a lot younger than I thought....you will be reported for using foul language

AlexMurphy

@stevep Have you tried licking a fork and sticking it in your mouth and then the outlet...? That's a joke. PLEASE don't do that. PLEASE!

felleg

@stevep Well, first of all, do you have a RetroPie/roms/<systems> architecture on your USB stick? Also, do you have any games stored on your USB, for example Mario Bros. in RetroPie/roms/nes/ ?

EDIT: just realized this is not how the automatic mount method is supposed to work... hmm. @stevep, can you provide a bit more details as to which folder/file is where in your directories?

Also, what is giving you the "we can't find any systems"? The terminal prompt? The retropie script? EmulationStation? To me, it looks like it's not finding the RetroPie structure it expects to find

stevep

@I would like to report AlexMurphy for using foul language on this forum. Check his posts regarding me. He should be removed from this forum for his abhorrent behavior!!

AlexMurphy

@stevepReport [removed]. I'm 40 and if I ever meet you,I will hurt you, in a bad way.

AlexMurphy

There is no room for that behaviour here. This ends now.

At least this little flame kept the retro touch. Reminded me the old teenager days of IRC where people acted this same way.

/me slaps @meleu with a large trout.

Oh the memories.
