      So, I installed a fresh image, and make the changes so i could load the games from and external USB, this time i made it Manually but I try the automatic mount and the result are the same.

      What look strange for my is that the only thing that it is show is the Amiga thing pre installed, but the roms that I add are not.

      I don't have ideas left about what is happening.

      pd: the automatic mount copy all the data to the USB but the result is the same, nothing new it's show, and at startup it show and error from usbmount.

      thx in advance

        You didnt' show the actual data on the disk - are the ROM folders populated with ROMs ? What do you have on your /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes folder ?

        Also, please mind your language, this forum is for all ages.

          @mitu sorry for the language my bad, just edit the post to remove that.

          Yes, the folder has a lot of ROM's, later i will upload the data. Could it be because of the permissions of the files? But if i can read the files in the terminal, Emulation Station should be able to read them to.

            If you can read them via the terminal, then it's ok.
            What happens if you restart Emulationstation, after booting ? Will the games show up ?
