On Windows, type \RETROPIE into the computer folder.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. Samba is a software suite that allows you to access file systems over the network. Once you've enabled SSH and connected to your chosen client, you can simply drop the files in the ~/RetroPie/roms/$CONSOLE folder, where $CONSOLE is the name of the target console, e.g. SFTP/SSH connection instructions are available on the SSH page. SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol that allows you to securely transfer files over the internet or locally on the same network when both the PC and RetroPie system are connected to the same router via ethernet or wifi. The transferred games should now be visible within EmulationStation.Refresh the game listing in EmulationStation by pressing F4, or press Start on your controller > Quit > Restart EmulationStation.The ROMs have now been transferred from the USB to the RetroPie system's SD card If the USB stick has an activity light, wait for it to finish blinking, else wait (with many GBs of ROMs, wait several hours) Plug it back into the RetroPie system.Add the ROMs to the USB stick inside their respective folders within the retropie/roms/$CONSOLE folder, where $CONSOLE is the name of the target console, e.g.Remove the USB stick and plug it into the computer containing the ROMs.If the USB stick has an activity light, wait for it to finish blinking, else wait a few minutes Create a folder called retropie on the USB stick.

Ensure that the USB stick is formatted to FAT32 or exFAT, and that the SD card has enough free space to hold all ROMs.

There are three main methods of transferring ROMs: via USB stick, via SFTP, and via Windows (Samba) shares. That being said, in the search of your childhood - Google is your friend. There are many issues involving copyright laws regarding the usage of ROMs, so in order to preserve the integrity and longevity of the RetroPie project, the download locations of ROMs will not and cannot be added to the Wiki. In a RetroPie context, ROMs are digital copies of games which can be run on emulators (software that mimics your old gaming consoles).
