You right sorry... 

I run in Raspberry Pi3
In the SD card I want to have only the configuration files.

Now, to extend the file into an external HDD:

- No Attact Mode: the system create a folder named retropie-mount
- Attract Mode: the system create a folder named piroms

I have, for example, Atari2600 roms. For the No Attract Mode I have to copy in the folder retropie-mount/roms/atari2600 and the system recognize the roms.
For the Attract mode I have to copy in piroms/atari2600 and the system recognize the roms.

In witch way I can share the folder between two systems??
Thanks

Thanks a lot... 

I want to have shared roms in EmulationStation and Attract Mode.

In the External drive EmulationStation want a retropie-mount folder and attract mode want a piroms.

Can I switch one of the two??

Thanks

I'm sorry I don't fully understand what you are wanting here. You don't have to have anything on the sd card except the operating system..you can store everything on the hdd as far as attract mode or emulationstation is concerned. However in order for us to get it working I need to know what you are storing on each device.

to answer your first statement:
   Your roms can be shared between emulation station and attract mode...however again you have to set the path to the roms in attract mode for them to be found. if they are on the external drive then you need to put that path into the config files for attract mode. If they are on an sd card (assuming you are using a raspberry pi) then you make sure the path is set to the correct path on the pi.

That being said..you need to tell me what you are using to run retopie on.
       1. Are you running retro pie on a PC or a raspberry pi?
        2. If it is on a PC what operating system are you running?
        3. You need to tell me where your roms and artwork are being stored
        4. What is on the HDD and what is on the sd card (if you are using a pi)

If you can not tell me that then I can not help you. It is not that i do not want to..it is that i can not because I do not have information to start problem solving with.
