      Hi all, New to retropie just fired one up yesterday. Retropie works perfect and so do my roms. My question is.... If I am using a 64g SD card will I have full use of the 64g's for lots of roms, or do I lose space when the card was formatted for retropie?
      Hope the question makes sense, like I said I am very new to this.

      Thanks

        @jp1911 you will lose some of it to the emulators, retropie itself and some other things. But most of it should be available to you. You can see your total/free space by quiting emulationstation. You can then restart emulation station by typing emulationstation and then pressing enter.
