I downloaded a lot of ROM’s on my desktop under windows and I’m looking to change to Linux for reasons. My questions is would I have to reinstall all those ROM’s if i change to Linux or will Linux just read the ROM’s? I have a 6TB hdd that is specifically for emulation so there is no OS on that drive.
You don’t “install” roms, you just point your emulator at them and they read them because they’re made to do that.
