Hello all! Just finished building my CM3 and I am super excited to start playing games on it. I have never used a Pi in the past so this is my first ever experience with it. I successfully burned the image to my SD and everything boots up perfectly so it looks like I am ready to go! However I am unsure of how to put roms onto the device. I have quite a few downloaded and I was just unsure of where to place them. Since there is no ROMS folder I didnt wanted to put the roms in the wrong area and potentially ruin anything. Currently all I am seeing is the main "boot" drive and and overlays folder contained within it.
Thanks for the help!!
-Brad

Correct. WiFi (or USB Ethernet) or USB drive are the only ways I know. There are multiple ways to do it over the network, but the ones describe there are the most common and easiest.

Oh and you don’t need really large USB drive. You can load some ROMs, remove them from the USB drive, and then load more later.

You can do it directly on the SD card, but you will need a system running Linux, the partition that holds the ROMs is typically only accessible via a Linux OS.

Which emulator are you using for the N64 games? For non LR ones you may need to setup the buttons separately. Also be aware that the button setup for the N64 is significantly different to that of a GBA +XY so certain controls may not be configurable.
