      So I upgraded USB sticks to a new USB 3.0 high-speed one to transfer ROMS from my PC to the Pi. My old slow stick would auto-load the roms with the light flashing. The new one will not auto load for some reason---light flashes twice then that's it. I copied everything from the old stick to the new one so it's identical so I'm stumped. Is there a way to manually put the ROMS into the Pi somehow? Instructions? The new stick is like 5 times faster then my old one so I'd like to try to utilize it. Thanks in advance!

            The most easiest way to transfer them in my opinion is via the network. If you;re on windows, you need to type in the following in the explorer bar: \retropie

            And hit enter. You'll see a couple folders, open up the roms folder and the folder of the console you wan to upload the games, copy 'n paste the zip files.
