      Hi ive read about doing this but im confused
      I want to load roms from an NTFS external usb stick (need NTFS as i have other files on there that are individually over 4gb)
      By default retropie copies all my roms over filling up the SD card. So i used retropie-mount folder method but it wont copy the folders over, i tried another usb stick formatted fat32 and it did work. I read that retropie now supports NTFS plug and play (it finds my roms on NTFS and copies them to SD) but it wont write the rom folders to my retropie-mount folder on my NTFS drive like it did on fat32 drive. Does the software not support this? thanks
      Edit: ok i copied over the retropie-mount folders from the fat32 drive to ntfs drive and put the roms in there and retropie finds them, but it treats it like before and copies them over to the SD card! All i want is an option to stop auto transfer of roms from usb to SD is it possible? thanks
