@Manuel-Giuseppe-Trizzo Are you a 100% sure it is properly formatted to FAT32? Sorry to ask, but it happens all the time!
Is it a USB-Stick or a harddrive? Are you connecting it directly to the Raspberry or over a USB-Hub?

[Manuel Giuseppe Trizzo]

@paradadf Format with Windows 10, is a verbaim 32 gb pen drive USB 2.0, connecting it directly to the Raspberry !!

@Manuel-Giuseppe-Trizzo i have an USB-Stick that gets only NTFS formatted through Windows and need to use other tools to get it FAT32 formatted.
Can you try with other stick? I'm just trying to narrow the root of the problem down.

@paradadf
I tried with another 4GB button is working,to me it serves key 32 gb.

I can formatare with some program in fat32?

[paradadf]

@Manuel-Giuseppe-Trizzo I'm not sure that I understood what you wrote. But you can format anything to FAT32 with this software:

@paradadf
thanks for the link
I formatted but does not operate the USB key

[paradadf]

@Manuel-Giuseppe-Trizzo if other USB-Sticks you try work and there is just one that won't work, then somehow it must be faulty. I don't know what else to say.

[Manuel Giuseppe Trizzo]

very strange

DISK USAGE: 3GB/11 GB (SD 16 GB)
STORAGE DEVICE: RETROUSB (Name key usb 32GB)

[paradadf]

I believe you are not formatting it right :S

[Manuel Giuseppe Trizzo]

@paradadf
Format in this way

[paradadf]

@Manuel-Giuseppe-Trizzo as I said before, your stick might be faulty. No idea. If you format it right and it doesn't work, but others do, then what else?

[Manuel Giuseppe Trizzo]

Buy SD 32-64 GB?

[paradadf]

I cannot answer you that. It depends on what you want to emulate and the size of the collections you want to have. CD based consoles need more storage.

[Manuel Giuseppe Trizzo]

Thanks so much

How do I save in the game?The manual indicates hotkey +Y.

I can not find the button Hotkey

[paradadf]

You need to configure a button (for example L3 or select) as a HK before being able to use it.
