      I'm Running Retropie on a Raspberry pi 2 and roms stopped adding themselves into the arcade folder. what's baffling is that it has worked before, and there is still room on the microsd card. What do I do?

          What do you mean. You have to add roms yourself. They do not "self" add.

            @rbaker He probably means the automated transfer of roms from usb to sd.

            Maybe you should switch to keeping your roms on the usb: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive

            If you don't use an ssh client then usb mounting makes it a lot easier to see what's going on.

              @bobharris O.K. thanks I'll do that, In case you couldn't tell I'm new to this community and am very grateful for the help, by the way is there anything I should do after switching to usb?

                @saint_jimmy Happy to help! No, just follow the instructions and from then on you can just plug your usb flash drive in your pc and transfer your games to the usb. Save files will be stored there as well.
