In this case, the easiest one I’ve found is to use symbolic links to the external drive. RetroPie simply runs a Linux distribution, and as such has access to all types of fun file tools. The micro SD card I am using is only 8GB, however all the guides I’ve seen list a difficult method for installing games to an external USB drive. Using iBuffalo controllers I purchased from Amazon. I’ve been playing with RetroPie this weekend on a Raspberry Pi 3. Added bonus, can power down, plug into a PC and update the games more easily. Editing fstab and referencing the drive by UUID is the more elegant solution. Found that folders don’t ln -s very nicely. UPDATE: Relocating the home folder to a USB flash drive is a much better option.
