I plugged it into my raspi and it didnt copy over the files ive tried this with 2 different usb same thing happened (kingston 4gb and kingston 8gb). idk what to do anymore somebody please help.

what is the output of “tail /var/log/syslog” after plugging in the usb stick ?

Please double check you formatted as fat32, and not exFAT. Also please make sure the folder name is all lowercase.

Also try enabling usbromservice from the RetroPie setup script

also, what are you wanting to do?
run roms from usb?
transfer roms from usb to pi-SD card?
