      Hello gents. I just finished building a full working Retropie 4.1 using 2 player xarcade tankstick, and all was mounted to my USB drive using the auto-mount feature made available end of December 2016. All files needed placed in USB drive by simply adding a file called "Retropie-mount" to my USB drive. Works perfectly.

      My question is if Floobs or Kevin's 64gb Attract Mode image can be used is the same fashion? Basically setup emulation station the same way I did for the last 4.1 build, manually adding in controller 2 and fixing MAME configuration, move on to whatever is needed to setup Attract Mode.

      Do you think this is all possible and would it all still automatically be placed in the retropie-mount folder when completed,including any files or items needed for Attract Mode? Want to make sure I can basically use Attract Mode if I auto-mount USB drive for the Retropie folder of roms, configs,bios, ect.

      Thanks in advance!

        @virg1 Is this an image containing pre-installed ROMs?

          @virg1 Why not ask Floob or Kevin? They would know better seeing as it is their image with their own custom configs. Or we will all just sit and guess how they set up their own personal / distributed image.

            No pre-installed Roms on image. I did not know we could ask them directly. I will do so once I figure out how to do that. Thanks :)

              @virg1 floob is on here from time to time. I wasn't trying to be rude. Who knows where Kevin hangs out...

                Oh I know you weren't and I thank you for the advise. You are correct, I will try and contact Floob or Kevin. I will try to reach out and in the meantime....going to just try it tomorrow. If it works, I will post my results to this post.
