      I programmed a Retropie SD card this morning, but it won't make the subfolders on any USB stick I plug into the system, so I can't begin transferring games. Am I doing something wrong?

        @glovewithsauce how did you excatly "program" your SD-Card?
        Does that mean you wrote the official image to your card?

          Did you create a folder on the USB stick called "retro-mount"

              @sirhenrythe5th Yes. I even used the official Raspberry Pi program. I think I figured out the problem though. Thanks for the reply!
