RE: Cannot copy roms over to Recalbox folder using Network Share.
@rustymg , thanks for the suggestion. I believe I tried that and my Windows 10 did not see the ROM partition. Or it did see the ROM partition but my PC was not recognizing the correct storage on my card and therefore showed that I had less storage space than what I was copying over. I will try again this weekend. But I thought I was only seeing the ROM partition using the Network.

@zing , thank you. Good to hear it's not just me. I can't comment on that topic you linked as I don't have an account there.

Gameslist is not updating properly?
I saw a few mentions of this topic about a year ago but I'm still experiencing the issue where my Games List is not accurately reflecting what I have on my SD card. Every time I delete a game from my SD card on my ROMS folder, the game still appears whenever I start Recalbox. If I go to the Games List option and refresh and then restart then my Games List is accurate. But the moment I shut down and restart again, my Games List is again showing all games that have been previously deleted.
So I'm wondering if this is still an issue or has it been fixed and I just need to know what I'm doing wrong. Thank you.

RE: Cannot copy roms over to Recalbox folder using Network Share.
Just to provide a solution to this issue which is very strange. More details below. But the solution was what "Zing" mentioned. I was able to access my SD card on my Raspberry Pi using WinSCP. Thanks Zing.
But I believe it's an issue with a combination of the (Zip files, Windows, and Recalbox). Here is what's happening. If I try and transfer the same files over to my RetroPie box, no issue. I am able to copy. If I download from the same site an individual rom instead of the entire romset, I am able to copy that rom over to my Recalbox without WinSCP.
So there is something about those roms that I already expanded previously where I can't transfer those roms to Recalbox.
Thanks.

RE: Cannot copy roms over to Recalbox folder using Network Share.
@zing , thank you for your suggestion. I find it strange that I'm able to copy other files into the roms folder though. This must have something to do with the zip extension. I'll post back with a solution if I find one.

Cannot copy roms over to Recalbox folder using Network Share.
Hi, experimenting right now with different emulators to see which one I feel more comfortable with. Finished looking at RetroPie so now I'm trying Recalbox. The issue I'm having is I am not able to copy roms from my PC to the roms folder over my Network Share. After installing Recalbox, I enabled WIFI and I'm connected to the internet. On my PC, I am able to access Recalbox over the network. But when I try and copy some roms from my PC over to the MAME roms folder I get the message "An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the folder". The roms are not large. They are about 1MB in size. Originally, I thought the destination roms folder was write-protected but I was able to copy a JPG file over there. The roms are in ZIP format so that should be OK. I did not have any issue copying roms over with RetroPie so I'm probably missing a setting or missing doing something in Recalbox. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here are some details below. Thanks.
