Now it works. Thank you very much.

@simpleethat I didn't think I could, but I just had to ask. Thanks for the reply! :)

@mitu great. thanks for the help!

@Zangdaarr said in Roms are on a network folder, but writing seems to fail:

That seems way more interesting, thank you I will investigate rsync, is there anyway for a sync job to simply wait and put the sync in queue if the connection is severed ?

rsync is just a synchronization/copy command, it's not a service that keeps tab on files. You can run it periodically and it will synch only the changed data, keeping transfers to a minimum. If your backup location is not available, it will fail.

@saccublenda

After I wrote this article I found that option in the Boot Options menu, I set it to wait for network connectivity however for some reason that did not work. however setting a sleep command to the autostart.sh worked well. Using the autostart.sh sleep and mount command worked properly.

Thank you for your valued input:)

@mitu

Man I can't thank you enough, it's finally working! If you PM me your details, you have a few beers from me :)

For anyone interested, after registering at screenscraper.fr and going through all SS flags arguments, I think I finally got it right:

/opt/retropie/supplementary/scraper/scraper -scrape_all=true -download_images=true -download_marquees=true -download_videos=true -console_src="ss,gdb,ovgdb" -mame_src="adb,mamedb,gdb" -use_nointro_name=true -ss_user="user_name" -ss_password="password"

No more errors:

Does updating RetroPie works ? If yes, then you're connected to the internet. You also have a 'Show IP' entry in the RetroPie system in Emulationstation that can show you if you are connected to a network (LAN).

Today I tried again with a new reflashed image on my pi zero w, I just added Wifi and autostart.sh entry and it worked fine. Guess I will just start over with my pi 3 to get the actual system running from network.

Thank you for your support

@mitu

You forgot to ask me an important question, "Is there a copy of that image?"

The answer is yes!!! I am now back in business. This time I will pay close attention to what the heck I am changing. This was a great learning opportunity, however, so thank you very much for your support. =)

I have two cards for the sake of clustering, in case you were wondering.

you need to shutdown turn you pie off then set your network up with raspi-conf then it works again dont know why just does well for me anyway.

Welcome to the forum.

@ammowaste said in Roms on a Network Share. Challenge accepted.:

permisions are okay.

How do you check that? Care to show them to us?

@ByteThis I thought about hooking up a lan cable but i’m too lazy to run one from my router behind my furniture and to the pie.

@stumcbill said in Sharing ROMs / saved across network:

Hi,

I'm planning on having a few Raspberry Pi's connected to a few TV's and an arcade machine, and would like to use my home server to host the ROMs and saves for all of them?

OK, I guess..

The one in the arcade machine will only have arcade ROMs, however, the others (on the TV's) will have a mix of everything (SNES, Mega Drive, Arcade, Amiga etc). Is this possible?

Yes - you can share different ROM folders for each device type - using this method

Also is there anyway to easily share bluetooth controllers between systems? Like if I have a 8bitdo SNES controller attached to the living room Pi, can I also pair it to the bedroom Pi and easily swap between them?

I'm not sure that will work. I remember I had to re-pair my controller once was paired to another system.

Im done. Im not going to change anything on my raspberry anymore. I was in PIXEL and clicked "connect to server" there i got a window that said "connect to remote server" "Specify remote folder to connect". I guess i typed something wrong there cause now i dont have internet connection anymore. And i cannot find internet on the start panel. Also i get a white line about a cm wide on the left side of the screen in PIXEL

EDIT: After reset the PIXEL discovered networks, and i managed to get it back on. Also, i managed to remove the white line on the left side by right clicking on it and delete. I hope later versions of PIXEL will make it just as easy to acces a pc network as it is for PC to access it. I have searched the web and i am astonished that not more people are asking the same questions. There is alot of topics on how to remote access the pie though.
Again, thanks for not totally flaming a illiterate-pc noob full of questions :)

@mediamogul said in Back to Retropie, and it looks great.:

@xvo

You'll need to enable ssh in any version past 4.2 to use sftp. Good to have you back!

Thanks

@meleu said in Retroachievements Help:

I replied your other topic, and gonna repost here:
I think you can get some inspiration in this thread here:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/11793/gpio-triggered-by-retroachievements

That's really amazing and easy to do as you already presented a good solution :D

@siliconpi Can you post the complete verbose log on a site like pastebin.com to look at it ?
Can you run zipinfo /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003/roms/19xxh.zip from a terminal/ssh session to see if the zip ROM is accesible on the mountpoint ?
Can you try adding forceuid=1000,forcegid=1000,rw to the mount options, just to make sure the permissions are set ok ?

Another option is you could play Pokemon ultra violet which is a rom hack that combines fire red and leaf green into one game which allows you to catch every Pokemon. However I agree this feature being added in would be nice.
