It would be nice, if there would be an possibilty to use an external directory from an external device as the roms dir. Or if the recalbox/share folder would be not on a fat volume, to use a symlink.... For example i have a 1 TB ext USB device, this is formatted in ext4 and i use it for several files. If i could place my roms in a directory on this volume this would be a nice feature.

Is this true? Is there no way to make the share partition work on an ext4 partition? I have some pretty huge films that would not fit on a FAT32 system. PS: I am a bit of a noob with these things.
