      Hey everyone! So I recently got an Intel Compute Stick from my local Radioshack like about a year ago. I decided to load RetroPie using ubuntu. The compute stick's internal storage is 32GB (which isn't a lot) and added a few of my roms; though I found myself running out of storage. So I decided to put a micro sd card with the remaining roms I had, but my question is how can I make RetroPie read roms from the internal storage of the compute stick and from the micro sd card that is in the compute stick at the same time? Any help would be appreciated!

        You can symlinks some of the (larger) ROM folders to the external storage if you want to use both discs, otherwise you can just run all your ROMs from the external disc - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive/.
