      New to this RetroPie platform so please excuse my nievity. My Retropie setup arrived in the post yesterday, and Ive spent a few hours playing games from many consoles I have owned over the years, However I would like to add a few PS1 games of my own, Can anyone direct me to an "idiots" guide that will show me how to do this. I have just plugged the SD card from the Pi into my Windows PC to look for any GAME folders, but there is nothing i recognise, froma quick look through the topics on here I see that the Pi uses Linux. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks

        The documentation got you covered - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/. About the SD card - the Linux partition where the actual system is stored is not visible in Windows (just the boot partition), but there are other methods for transferring ROMs, oulined in the docs.

        Note that selling systems with RetroPie pre-installed is not legal and support for 3rd party images is something that's not the topic of these forums.
