      Just bought a new SD card & starting over with my Retropie. I was wondering how do I expand the file system? All the tutorials I've found are no longer current I guess & I can't figure out how to do it. I just installed V4.2 right off this page & I have a Raspberry Pi 3B.

        @3n1gm4 not necessary. This is done automagically.

        But it can still be done through raspi-config as it's always been done.

        If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

          It isn't in Raspi-Config. My #1 option is to change my password. Expanding file system isn't an option on the list.
