Hi folks, from Ottawa. First time replying to this list :)
Marlon, as you get used to RetroPie and tinkering with is, at some point
you might want to look into running your ROMs from a USB stick. Lots of
benefits.
From my own memory, I think the biggest one is that if your flash card or
system gets corrupted, or you want to re-flash it and start over, etc… your
ROMs are left safe and untouched. I think it’s easier to update or change
your ROMs if they are on a USB stick. Also, your flash card can then be a
lot smaller, since you only need your core RetroPie system on it. As well,
you can experiment with other RetroPie-like systems such as Lakka, since
your ROMs are on the USB and exist independently.
Google “run ROMs from USB RetroPie” and see if that gives you any good
insight. Here’s one video for example:

If you’re on this list you probably enjoy tinkering with your gear as much
as using it. RetroPie tends to be that way. Double enjoyment, so have fun,
and have fun :)

I have a 256 GB SD card, so that should be enough. I found some Atari roms
for Food Fight: a ROM file (33 KB), XEX file (33 KB), and an ATR file (33
KB). I'll have to look for a Galaxian ROM.
