In the world of emulators, the games represented in the ROM version where ROM stands for “Read Only Memory”. Basically, ROMs are digital copies of games that can be run on emulators (software that mimics your old gaming consoles). Because of legal issues and copyright laws regarding the usage of ROMs, the download locations of ROMs will not and mentioned or added to this short tutorial. Meaning you can get inspired to download locations through our old friend Google. There are four main ways of how you can transfer your ROMs to the case.
SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol that allows you to securely transfer files over the internet or locally on the same network when both the PC and RetroPie system are connected to the same router via ethernet or Wi-Fi.
SFTP/SSH connection instructions are available on the SSH page. Once you’ve enabled SSH and connected to your chosen client, you can simply drop the files in the ~/RetroPie/roms/$CONSOLE folder, where $CONSOLE is the name of the target console, e.g. snes or arcade.
Samba is a software suite that allows you to access file systems over the network. Naturally both your PC and Pi will need to be connected to the same network via Ethernet or Wifi in order to successfully transfer your files.
RetroPie version 3.0+ contains a file manager. It allows you to manually transfer files between USB-stick and Raspberry Pi SD card. The file manager can be run from ‘RetroPie’ EmulationStation menu à File Manager. A Midnight Commander file manager guide can be found here. Your USB-stick should be mounted in /media/usb. The directories for the ROM files are located in retropie/roms/$CONSOLE folder, where $CONSOLE is the name of the target console, e.g. snes or arcade.
