      I am trying to add roms to retropie and I saw that I need to format a usb and plug it into the pie and then it will add the folders that I need to that usb. I did it once and it worked fine but then I later formatted the usb so now when I plug it in to get the folders again so I can add roms it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

        @cyber92 Did you format it as FAT32 ? What are you trying to do - transfer ROMs or run your ROMs from the USB ?

            Did you create a retropie folder on it ? Is the usbromservice installed/enabled ?

              @mitu Yes that's what it is I forgot to make a retropie folder, I'm stupid, thank you that fixed the problem.

              Also I am having trouble getting ps1 roms to play should I make a new thread for that or can you help me with that on here?

                @cyber92 Create a new topic, but I suggest searching the forums first for a similar problem and reading the PS1 page in the docs - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/.
