Just a heads up guys, if you install retropie on top of raspian you have to install the usbromservice from the manage packages/ manage optional packages in the setup ui.
Life saver bro. a+++
Awesome thank you!!
How do you install the usbromservice? I'm super new to all this and need it dumbed down alot lol. I installed retropi no problem on my rpi4 however I cannot figure out how to move roms to the pi for the life of me. I tried formatting a USB to fat32 and putting the folder named retropie in it and when I plug it in to my rpi4 and boot up retropie it does nothing and I think this may be why
justin B what the original commenter is referring to can be found in the RetroPie setup. I’m also fairly new to all this, so I’m not sure if that’s helpful!
Legend, had just got the hammer out to "take care of the pi" then I saw your comment.
Never too late to say this, so thank you a great deal for this. Keep up the epic work.
Clear and concise tutorial. Thanks so much for making this!
If only you posted a week ago would have saved me searching on google. I'm spoiled, your videos are great.
ETA Prime, thanks for another great informative video, as always the step-by-step instructions are very easy to follow, I'm going to try this today.
Thank you so much!!! I recently just found my pi and wanted to do some games on it. Didn't think it would be this complicated. I am so glad I found this video it worked!!!
Hii, where did you download the roms from??
This is so much easier than what I used to do. (Auto mounting a disk and renaming all the folder extensions) thanks.
I'm getting my own Raspberry Pi soon! Happy :)
did you get it?
Thank you ETAPrime.
I always learn so much from you.
Thanks for this! I've been wanting to get a raspberry pi 3 b and I already have a 1TB external HDD lying around that I was hoping I could use.
Best video showing exactly what I was looking for, thank you a million times
Great informative and easy to follow video. Thanks
Thanks! I managed to get my usb hard drive to work. I also found out for the portable hard drives you need a y usb cable to supply power to it. I simply have it hooked to my laptop for power. Works great.
Wow thanks again ! You just got another subscriber.
I’m so dumb but slowly figuring this all out thanks to you
Thanks for the clear explanation!
Awesome tutorial, thank you!
Legendary video my dude. Keep it up!
Thanks for that very good tutorial. It works perfectly
If you take the USB and plug it into another pie, will it boot up ?
MrRockfish01 only the games if you copy the (mount) part of the video on the SD
Very helpfull video, thanks!
Ich bin durch Zufall auf deinen Kanal gestoßen und habe ihn direkt abonniert.
Immer tolle Erklärungen, leicht und verständlich rüber gebracht! I like!
Thank you ETA.
As usual thank you for your videos, always super clear and incredibly well put together.

Just a thought you mention at some point when copying the files from the pie to the thumbstick drive that you can't tell when it's done if there isn't LED on the thumbstick but can't you simply tell by looking at the back of the Pie board and check if the little green LED is still on?
so much thankyou ETA!!!
thank you this was really helpful!!😀
A good alternative if you don’t have the option for internet on Pc and Raspberry Pi connected over IP adres.Thanks for sharing.I’m learning more and more🤗
Hey! Very clear and straight forward steps, mind I share this video in my tutorial?
Hi, ETA !!! Thnak you for this video !! there is a way to insert manually Video snaps or screenshot directly into the external hard drive or the images/videos stay always on the SDcard ? Thanks for your answer !
thanks for this video man a shop my mum works at closed down one location and my mum gave me 1x 1gb usb and 2x 32gb and 2x 8gb i wanted to use these usb with my pi so as i did not want to have to buy a bigger sd card so thanks for this video mate
I appreciate the video. Will retropie support larger drives (500GB), etc? Keep up the great work!
John Pratt I'm running a wd 1 tb passport external hdd. no issues at all
i'm going to ask the same question but some friends over here already answer it ... so thank guys !!
Another great video. Do you know if there is a list of emulator systems the emulation station supports available?
Thanks for the tutorial ETA Prime! As always tremendously helpful. Just having a slight issue as the RetroPie menu item is now missing so I can't access any settings etc. I can see all my emulators and access the roms, just not the RetroPie menu. Any idea how I can get it back?
Another simple and great video. Does it also transfer the video snaps i have already scraped and are in the sd card?
i just recieved my odroid xu4 switched from pi 3b+ and my external drive portable 4tb i'm going to see if this works with my portable drive 4tb so i can add more psp and dreamcast games you're tutorials are amazing always and good explained i watched all you video's and subbed.
I'm about to do the same let me know if this works!
@@joelthompson1668 i have the odroid xu4 and 4tb portable drive but for some reason i don't understand how to connect the drive it isn't working but it does work on the pc i have also a 400tgb micro sd card so i'm using that atm until i figure out on how to use my 4tb portable external drive
Could you possibly do a video on the Odroid XU4?
Thank you so much. Can you share me what are your games from atari 7800? i'm trying to get some good games for that console.
Thank you ETA Prime
i love your vids!
thanks for the video
ETA Prime do you know if I can store roms on a non-USB drive, like the nvme drive attached to my cm4 carrier board? I'm running retropie from the emmc... Fantastic channel BTW...
Great job.
Love the videos and sorry to be stupid. I am using a 256 gd Wolfano sd card image, and it is great, and I doubt i will add too many extras. But I would like to add (or try to add) return to castle wolfenstein - that is a classic (from my younger days). The biggest flash drive I have ever bought is half of the size of the sd card I have this image on. Can I add extra games onto the retro with the usb, or must the usb be larger than the sd card? Can I run some games off the usb and others off the sd is I guess what I am trying to ask??
I understood that games on the sd could be deleted from the pi (from your video), but still do not fully understand if I could add extras on a USB drive - it is "only" 128.
Thanks again for the great videos.
Enk
Great video tut and another box ticked for my build, just wondering is it also possible to make the retropie system back up and sync images and media from my mobile phone, i use android cells always will (apple sucks) so in theory it should be viable ... is it?
that was helpful! thank you, person.
Thank you!!!
After you transfer over the files to the USB stick, can you delete all the folders (bios, configs, roms, splashcreens) from the SD card?
It worked for me 100% I can now play command and conquer ps1 going to add more C&C now so happy thanks ...... I tried doing it with a USB and the file manager, wow its like Fort Knox I couldn't get in at all but this way works perfect! left right sneeep snipe ...... da da dadada do dododo dodoo do yes I'm that happy that I'm even typing the tune in the game THANKS!
Thanks!
THANK YOU
Thanks man
I’m new to the SBC game. Just ordered an Asus Tinker Board S and plan on loading up RetroPie. Can I load RetroPie onto the onboard emmc, but run the ROMs off the SD card? I can only find info on the USB rom service. Just wanted to figure this out as much as possible before everything is delivered and I dive into this fantastic voyage. In any case, thanks for the great tutorials. Cheers!
Awesome!!!
How do I run my games off of my external 4TB hard drive with using any of my sd memory/
Gui works great but maybe Sd formatter would be better for noobs.
Love your videos PRIME!
Yes! This was exactly what i was looking for.
I have a 32Gb sd full of goodies, but is still missing few systems. This solves my problem, i have few spare usb drives, so i just do this and remove the trasfered ones or some of them to make space and ad new systems.
Thatnk's again ETAPrime.
I do how ever have a guestion.
Theres lot's of guides how to change Mega drive to genesis, but i would like to reverse the order from genesis to mega drive?
is it done the same or is there differenses?
The box arts etc. are more than likely to dissapear after this?
Sorry for the rough English , i'm totaly new on Raspberry and Retropie.
I seem to be missing that service option completely, did they remove it?
Hi Eta, can i use my internal HDD? i created diffrent partition. Thanks
Will this work on my OdroidXU4 running ORA1.5.2?
Is there an image with attract mode on it but no ROMs? If not is there a way to start fresh from noobs and add attract mode on. I don't remember if the updated 4.2 or higher has attract mode added on it already.
hey for the hardrive do you have to plug it to an external source of power or will the raspberry have enough power to run with the drive. i have an 80gb laptop hard drive
Hello,
First off, your video is great. Nicely and thoroughly explained. I, however, am still having a hell of a time getting games from my usb stick to work on the actual pie. I am a 1st year coding teacher and was wondering if I could private message with you about how to do this. I have read a ton of stuff online so far but I feel that none of it answers my question(s). I have also tried your method in the video only to be met with an error log message when launching a game or just a black screen. I am trying to have this as a station in my classroom but so far all I have achieved is a LOT of frustration. Thank you and have a wonderful day!

Awesome information! I followed the steps but my controller stops working whenever I boot up a game from the hard drive. Any ideas?
I see the rom files you are moving are zipped files. Can the roms be transferred over to RetroPie unzipped? Like.. BIN or SMD files? All my roms on my PC are unzipped for other windows emulators. Thanks for the content!
thanks bro
Hey. Can you please do a video that shows how to delete rooms that were on the SD card after setting up the retropie-mount usb option ?
I have my roms on the usb but can’t find and delete those that were on the sd card.
Your just fantastic
Do you know if the Pi 3 B can run an external HDD without any power supply? (The HDD works fine only with the USB on any normal PC, but idk if the Pi can handle it or maybe that could cause some issues). I really need big space for roms, and on my country my options are a 64GB SD card for $40, or an external 500GB HDD for $50. Btw, this methods works on retropie and recalbox? Thanks
So once this whole process is done, where would any scrapping end up, oh, and game saves too. In other words, once this is done, what gets written where (microSD or external) Please cover all that you can think of that would get written and where it would go after the process. Thanks.
anyone find how to fix this?
ETAPrime is there a way to play two player games on RetroPie, such as GameBoy, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance?
You can enable exfat on the retropie as well if you wish to use Windows formatting. Quit ES and type in the command line the following:
sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils
Press enter. Make sure you are hooked up to the internet. After that you can use exfat formatted USB drives just like a fat32 drive.
Damn... Wish the retropie could play GameCube games
good vid thx
Does this same backing up of roms to the usb stick work on the odroid xu4 using retropie as well? Thanks.
Hi m8! Just was wondering. I've downloaded the motion blue attract mode image thats around 9gb from Arcade Punks. I can't access the roms folder through my network for some reason. So, I thinking would it work on attract mode transferring via USB? Might make things easier. Basically I can't get through the network because I'm prompted with a username and password which I've tried a few and can't get into it. Weird, it usually opens up. Might be a firewall or something I don't know. Any helps appreciated 😀 Cheers
Can it rum roms off of multiple locations? IE. NES off the SD and PSX off the USB?
Did you find out?
Now, will this work on pie 0? I have 3b+ and I’m sure this will work great. But I also have a pie 0 that I want to set up for my son. Do you know if this hard drive will work in the 0? Thank you
so in retropiesetup i do not have usbrom services as an option
is there a way to transfer from the USB to SD card in a similar way
Hi
there is a way to do that with an secondary SD card connected to SDIO?
thanks a lot great videos
Hey Prime I have looked every where and can't find any tutorials on it, but could you do a tutorial on how to setup joystick and buttons with the group pins? I have a single player bartop with 6 buttons and a start and select buttons also. I don't want to use the zero delay I want to use the gpio pins.
Don't You have to format in ExFat mode , for larger disks/ USB keys ? And if yes, Will it work ? Thanks.
do the new roms folders have to be zipped or does it work even if theyre unzipped?
edit: no they work aswell when in unzipped folders. thanks for the video, worked!
i get a strange failure message when booting saying it cant load the usb mount service but it works in the end. :)
Question - can I upload roms by connecting a disk to the computer and using EXT2 to mount the partition?
When exporting the files to the USB what type of file do they have to be? I have .gba .nes and .sms
Retro rom service is not available in my options :-( and using 4.4. found out the hard way you have to enable it first but you never mentioned on the video. Another thing to note... romservice syncs what you have on your external SD to the PI as well. so my pi run out of space!! Am i missing something here?
Hi, thx for your vids. Can you make a How to for retropie lirc for kodi remote?
question - is there any way you know where individual rom emulator choice is stored? (example - I'm using the emulator advmame .94 for a particular rom. where does that config get stored within retropie?) Thanks for any help
Hi ive had a new raspberry pi with retro pi installed can i still put my usb in with retro-mount and roms or do i have to format the usb and start again meanng will it recognize retro mount thanks
Do I have to turn off my whole raspberry p3 every time I pull out the USB stick or can I just unplug add roms and then plug back in while on ??
The games I already had on the sd Card run perfectly with the USB drive. However any new games I add don't run/ open. They show on the list, but the game don't open. Do you know what that may be? Thank you!
I recently got into a Raspberry Pi 3b+ and I'm thinking about buying a rec room Masters 4 player arcade. I however I'm having trouble keeping all the me emulators on the home screen after I reboot. How do I do that? I'm also learning with trial and error on how to add roms. Is there any way that you can create a video showing how to do all of these ateps for beginners?
with the disclaimer, does this mean that if I click on all of the links that it will be supporting you more than if I clicked on the links just once?
When you scrape games on the hard drive, are the scrapes stored on the hard drive as well?
One subscriber,, hot stuff
hey ETA Prime.. I noticed your ROM's were in zip format.. is that right? I've got a rom on zip, copied it to my usb drive but not getting it to play.. any suggestions please?
Hi, is it possible to place all the PSX only games in Usb Stick & the rest remain in SD card?
Question: My flash drive doesn't have a light on it.Is there any way to tell or an approximate time that it takes for it to stop flashing?
Hey men! How are you? I need ask you something... There is any way to use a 256gb SD on RPI3? Thanks!
Question. Would it be possible to have the raspberry pi running a software (say the wii software) and you could have a disc reader attached to it so when a wii disc is inserted into the disc reader I could play the inserted game.
Edit: I am new to the raspberry pi and I happen to have some games from a friend who was getting rid of them, so I wanted to make something that could run them but I can't find out how to do this anywhere. (Other than some sketchy websites)
OK I like your video, but, how do you use NTFS or larger hard drive.?
Also retropie -mount Doesn’t seem to be working for me
Quick question, can does it COPY the ROMS over or does it MOVE them to the external drive? I was asking cuz if it copies them I was wondering can I then go back and delete them from the SD Card to get that space back?
