If you are planning to collect a package of ROMs, especially the new ones, keep in mind that you will need a lot of space. Therefore, it will be necessary to extend the partition to the maximum capacity, by following these steps: It would be a shame to have only 2GB available on a 64GB card ? The problem is that by default Retropie (when installed as a distribution), creates a partition with the size it needs, regardless of the size of your SD card. Go to “Advanced options” and choose “Expand Filesystem” (first option).Then click Finish and reboot your Raspberry PiĪfter the reboot, the partition will use the whole size of your SD card.You can use a USB drive to copy ROM files to your Raspberry Pi Format a USB drive to a FAT32 file system. ![]() The files were copied, restart Retropie to refresh the list.Plug it again in your Raspberry Pi and wait until USB stops blinking.Plug it again in your computer and copy the ROM files in the “retropie/roms” folder.Plug it once in the Raspberry Pi and wait for 30 seconds. If you have any issue in the process, check my tutorial on how to format and mount a USB drive here. You can also use SFTP to transfer files from your computer to RetroPie. It’s like an FTP server, but encrypted and done with SSH, so there is nothing to configure. I already made a post about this, so if you need help about transferring files to your Raspberry Pi, I recommend checking this post. To enable SSH on RetroPie, go to configuration, then raspi-config. ![]()
