      Hi there,

      I've been running my ROMs off a USB drive but recently bought a bigger SD card. Can someone please confirm how to move back to running ROMs off the SD card? I read elsewhere that I just need to rename my "retropie-mount" folder to "retropie" on my USB drive. Then when I reboot my Pi with the USB plugged in, it will automatically copy my ROMs to the SD drive. Is this correct?

      Thanks
