@BuZz Thanks a lot but unfortunately I moved samples folder inside bios folder and edited configuration files to prevent emulationstation showed the samples in the roms list but if there aren't another way :(

@luetzel - thank you for your work!!! My question to you is Steps 1 thru 4, is that done on the computer or on the actual PI3? If on the computer, is there a program we should use?

Hi,

I recently managed to get a network share from my PC set up on my Pi:
My share is on an external hard drive attached to my PC - E:/RetroPieShare - inside this I copied 4 folders from my pi (home/pi/RetroPie - this will copy all the files on your SD card to the external hard drive on your PC :
0_1486470761915_1.png

I then edited the fstab file:
0_1486471142739_3.png

like this:
0_1486471548395_4.png

The next bit was key: the path to the share on the external hard drive in fstab must match the properties shown in windows highlighted in blue - (remember to change the \ to / in the fstab file):
0_1486471667567_5.png

(Also remember to share this folder)
I can now add roms into the roms folder on the external hard drive & they appear in the home/pi/Retropie/roms folder which should appear in Emulation Station

@AlexMurphy The sort order for the roms, it wasn't working but I have a feeling it has to do with the fact a lot of my roms are in subfolders.

Hello Oscar,
Firstly I can tell that you didn't read the rules just by reading to your post. Please give it a look : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and edit your post accordingly if you want more people to answer to you.

Secondly, do you even see the big rainbow ish screen when your raspberry boot up ?

@wilhood
This is the problem I want to fix on my raspberry as my external hard drive is better then my sd card. Have you gotten it to work?

Ok - I've got SOTN basically playable.

Using the retroarch overlay config GUI (select+X in game) I set:
frameskip to 1
custom viewport width 1440 (x3)
custom viewport height 816 (x3)
integer scale on

other settings:
hw biliner filtering - turning this to off makes the game look significantly better on my big flatscreen from apx 3 meters away, but doesn't seem to impact performance (disclaimer that I prefer a pixelated look to a blurred look for my scalers)

other observations:
loading savestates seems unstable until loading a regular game save. not sure if its related to my settings changes or not.

@BuZz ok. Thanks.

Thank you!

Actually, being in the RetroArch menu is similar to being in an emulator, none of my controllers seem to register (except arrow keys here). Frustrating, have to pull the plug again.

@PetroRie In-game saving

Cool man thanks ill get started with your little example.

@screech
Ran some N64 roms and have five that won't scrap. Ran it two different times with your new software.
