Shared USB stick for multiple devices?
-
Read the tutorial and watched the video on moving ROMS to a USB stick. I want to share the Pi’s USB stick after doing this, with a Mint desktop install of RetroPie. How to config the Mint RetroPie install to use the same USB stick rather than its own dir structure? So all my scrapes and themes reflect what is done on either device, whether I pop the stick in the desktop or Pi?

Set-up the PI with the USB device, then configure the Mint install to also mount the same USB device, but using the Manual method.
When scraping, you'll have to use an external scraper and configure it to save the artwork in the ROM's folder (EmulationStation saves it in
$HOME/.emulationstationby default, which is not on the USB drive).
EmulationStation themes will not be transferrable this way, you need to install them on both machines.
