      Hello! I've been setting up retropie and have come to the step where you insert a usb stick into the pie for the first time. I have formatted the usb stick (32gb) with FAT32 and created the "retropie" folder at the root of the usb drive. After I insert the stick into the pie, I wait for about 1-2 minutes. When I check it on my computer, there are no folders created under the retropie folder. Anyone else have this issue? Is there a way to manually copy a folder structure to the usb stick?

      TYIA!

        @koldar try re-enabling the usbromservice from the setup script just for kicks. And when plugging in your USB wait a little longer, perhaps reboot the pi as well with the USB in if it still doesn't copy over. If it doesn't at that point if you have a keyboard you can check the filesystem, or if you have it on the network you can transfer ROMs that way

        If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/
