      Hello,

      I have searched the forum for old posts, documentation and I am not getting anywhere with this so hope it is OK to ask here.

      I am trying to get retropie to run ROMS from a USB drive.

      Here is what I have done so far,

      Formated USB stick to FAT32 and added a folder called retropie-mount

      In the Retropie menu

      Retropie Setup > Manage packages > Manage optional package > Install USB Rom Service
      

      Then

      Retropie config > Retropie set up > Config and tools > USB Rom Service > Enable

      I have then plugged the USB stick in to the computer running Retro Pie

      I left it for a few hours, but then when I put it in my computer I don't see any folders inside the folder on the USB stick.

      (Does it matter that there are no ROMs on the computer running retropie at the moment, should it still carry the file structure over to the USB stick)?

      Any help trouble shooting this would be greatly appreciated.

      Thank you in advance :)
