      @BuZz OK.I've tried to dynamically change the DNS server to visit github.com and successfully installed retropie on Ubuntu(amd64).Maybe I just need to post a solution on local forums to instruct others.

      Looks like the upstream libretro assets repository renamed them and the upgrade script just adds the new files, without removing the older ones. Maybe we should clear up the folder before the upgrade, to avoid this issue.

      @mitu

      Story of my life.... As soon as I decided to ask a question, I find the answer.

      According to the documentation (at the very end), there is a line that says I should replace my mount command with the following:

      sudo mount -t cifs -o sec=ntlmv2,username=something,rw,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,password=********,nounix,noserverino //SERVER/Software/Games/roms/ /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/

      That solved the problem.

      I wonder however what would be the difference between this whole new line, versus your suggestion of just adding uid=pi to my previous line. Would you know?

      @sephiroth Unless you have a way to mount that cloud drive as a normal mount in the filesystem, I don't think you can do this.

      I'm 99% sure ftp can't as it is a request-based system. It does not have the granularity for fetching data as is needed by the emulators.

      You might be able to create a script for it though, which fetches a rom file from the ftp and places it in the required location. Then deletes it afterwards or something. But you would still need dummy-files placed in the filesystem that initiate the script in the first place.

      RetroArch doesn't have the concept of a system, this is a front-end configuration convention (EmulationStation/runcommand). So you'll either have to modify each system's config or use a global save folder and hope you don't run into a situation with identical ROM/game names for multiple consoles/platforms.

      The reason that Retropie isn't visible in the Win10 Network folder is due to the fact that netbios discovery isn't supported by windows anymore.
      But it is possible to make samba shares again visible by the Web Services Dynamic Discovery Method.
      I am currently using a little python3 script from Steffen Christgau on my Debian Buster NAS Server which makes WSD available und thus browsing Samba Shares much more conveniant.

      @mitu
      Might it be possible to make this a standard addon to retropie ?

      @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:)

      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:

      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

      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.
