      Hi i am a total noob, sorry if i post this in wrong place. i would like to know if it is possible to share my roms from one Rpi to another Rpi (have all roms on one rpi in my living room and play the games there and play the games in my room with second rpi over network) so.. play my roms through retropie over network, while the rom collection is on another rpi?

        @Leygonie89 Sure, you can mount the roms folder from the 1st system on the 2nd Pi - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Running-ROMs-from-a-Network-Share/. The roms folder is already shared by any RetroPie installation, so you should be able to add it to your 2nd network using the instructions in the docs.

            @Shaddonai swaping sd card is difficult due to the fact that rpi is in custom build case
