      I'm on a pie 3 using retropie 4.1.5 and when i put in a new USB drive, It no longer makes the retropie folders. It will read and install roms when a disk with the folders set up. any ideas to there?

        @lostless you need to create a folder retropie on the device first, as detailed on the wiki.
