Run playstation from usb
-
So my SD card on my retro pie is full and I want to use a USB drive to expand my memory capacity on my raspberry pi. I can't put all my games on my USB stick because it does not have enough space to do so. I only want to put my playstation games on it and the rest on the SD card. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Format your stick as FAT32 and copy there your PS1 disc files.
Modify the/opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.shfile and add a line that mounts the stick as to thepsxfolder, at the beginning of the file:sudo mount /dev/sda1 /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx emulationstation #auto -
@mitu It worked, thank you. Do you think you could post some kind of tutorial so that other people can learn this without having to ask?

I don't think 2 lines of instruction warrants a tutorial.

@mitu Well it could be a tutorial of how to expand retropie memory with a usb for all supported systems. It would be nice to have this in retropie docs.

It already is - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive/

I was instructed in one of the threads on here to make an alias to the folder on the usb drive containing the roms and just replace the folder in the retropie roms folder with the same named alias. That also works. One thing that I like about that is I could at any time just delete the alias and replace with a folder to return it to reading off the sd card, or you could have part of a folder on the usb and part on the sd (if you don’t mind having two subfolders in ES).
