Hi,

Is it possible to put game roms on a usb drive, instead of the /roms folder on the miscro sd card?

Thank you so much!
Cheers,

It's possible but it's a bit of work. It has been done before but you may want to reconsider doing it as it will probably make future updating trickier for you (I'm basing this on a guy on Aussie Arcade who did it and found it complicated using the update scripts).

You would need to set up the mounting of the USB stick and either reconfigure the emulators to use a new rom directories or create symlinks to the new rom folders. I'd recommend doing it with links as that will reduce the likelyhood of something breaking if you miss a config file or similar.

Thank you!

Cheers
