power USB HDD Retropie
Hello! Thank you for the portage of Retropie on the Potato.
It's really good work! Thank you.
I could install it on EMMC without problem. However I have a problem, I can't connect my external hard drive to it. When plugged in it "slams" and doesn't work.
The hard drive (Toshiba - 2.5 "- 1TB - NTFS) works great on the Raspberry Pi and on PC.
I use power the Potato with a 5V 3A socket and the hard drive with a Y-cable (2 USB ports)
Would you have a solution?
Thank you in advance.

Every USB pair are fused at 500mA. If you are using a Y cable, try spanning them across the two USB stacks to get 1A.
Thx for your tips ! It's work !
