Transferring roms back from the pi to a pc or usb stick?
-
Hi,
I don’t know if this is hard, easy, or impossible but I received an nvidia shield for Christmas but have a pi 3 as well that I have some games on already. In The meantime I’ve had a hard drive crash on my pc so I don’t have the roms there anymore. They are all lost. The last trace of them are still alive and well on my pi 3 however. 😱Is there some way to get them off my pi and back onto my pc so I can copy them to a usb stick and get them over to the shield? The shield is more powerful, so I want to see how it does with my few Dreamcast and psp games that struggle on my pi.
All my devices are on a local network (pi, laptop, shield) so perhaps that will help me in some way as well.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

@joeljoel1947 Take a look at https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/. The ROMs should be available on the
\\retropie\romsnetwork share, so you could enter that in Windows Explorer (assuming you have Windows installed on the PC) and then copy the contents of that folder. -

Thank you! Yes my pc has windows. I’ll give this a try, hopefully it’s as easy as it sounds! -

Thanks again! Your idea worked, copying away as I type.....
