        Cheers. Sorry you had to spell it out (again).

        @mediamogul - not sure why you're thanking me ;)

        Happy gaming!

          Lack of sleep.

          Although, feel free to keep the thanks and use it throughout the day in lieu of those who forget to say it.

            maybe try ext4 it has a faster transfere rate. and is better suited for usage on rpi

            Ext4 if you are running an Linux distribution so you can easy read and write to it from you desktop.

            Fat32 if you are running Windows.

            Just my two cent. :)

              I followed the directions here based on reading the advice and most things work. However now when I try to start mame4all roms I get issues where every rom errors out in loading stating that it can't find "romx, y, z"... I updated the xml file for the rom locations to /media/usb0/mame-mame4all

              To verify that was the issue I moved a few back to /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-mame4all and they started working again. Any thoughts?

                I would read this thread again and then mount the drive permanently using the link I provided. Also read the comments in this thread and in the link I posted.

                That should solve your problems.

                      Because I'm a freak for aesthetics, I backup the fully sorted image to my server and run rsync on the save files to sync them to the server as well. If the SD corrupts, I just have to rewrite the sorted image, and sync saves.

                      Just another alternative option.

                        I have a 128GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Card. Works pretty well for me. I went with using the Fat 32 Format tool method for the higher compatibility rate.
