Skyscraper .ini editing for network share.

[raulitob]

Hello,

I"m running retropie v4.7.1 on a raspberry pie 4 and I have retroarch to load roms from a network share.

so the auto start has this

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=xxx,password=xxx //192.168.x.xxx/RetroPie/roms /home/pi/RetroPie/roms

And that works great but my question is do I need to add that to the skyscraper config file as well? so for example

inputFolder="/home/pi/RetroPie/roms"

change it to

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=xxx,password=xxx ```
//192.168.x.xxx/RetroPie/roms /home/pi/RetroPie/roms

or maybe just

//192.168.1.156/RetroPie/roms /home/pi/RetroPie/roms

Thanks!

You should probably use /etc/fstab for that mount. That's the correct way of mounting a network share under Linux. A quick search gave me this howto that you could follow.

No, if you mount it on /home/pi/RetroPie/roms and you have set the permissions to read/write for the pi user and all files on the share, you are good to go.

No, you don't need to.
