      Hello,

      I've installed retropie on top of the full Raspberry OS because that was the only way I could get it running. I've decided that I kinda like that and I'm going to keep it this way.

      My question is, can I use the same USB stick to store roms on for Retropie, while also doubling as a storage media for the OS (for downloads etc?)

        @SuperMazut yeah. Retropie only cares about the retropie-mount folder on the USB drive -- whatever else you do with the rest of the drive, doesn't matter.
