      @herb_fargus I did do an update tonight, for all of the packages. As well as a few days ago. I will update USB rom service again and see if my problem goes I will get back soon.

        It didn't work after I updated the rom service and put in a USB that once again had no new roms, I even deleted the one on the stick. It still does it. I have not used samba share before and I much prefer the usb stick option honestly.

        Also other users have reported similar issues such as this.

          I tried using SCP but having some issues. If I changed my password and username for the pi thats what I type in for SCP right?
          Also would really like for someone else to confirm issues with usb as well. I beginning to thing that retropie 4.3 may be a cause as well.

              Managed to figure out samba share for retropie. Which I admit is more easier. But still would like others input for the usb transfer of roms too.

                    @redbatman after you update usb rom service, you need to disable it then immediately re enable it.

                    As far as scp did you go into raspi config and enable ssh?

                        @redbatman right, maybe a ghost did those two bumps on your account above? that seems the most likely explanation.

                        it is my sworn duty to keep this forum ghost-free; i will have to issue a temporary ban to any possessed accounts if the rules are broken again.
