@Bagarn said in Mount network share, Unable to find suitable address.:

To be fair, the guide did not mention samba or anything like that. :D

Yes, the guide is only for the client side setup, not the server itself. Glad you got it sorted out, have fun !

@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.

@BuZz I feel like an idiot. Thanks for the help

You can get a set of verified mount options from the docs. Try it - in your /etc/fstab file - and see if work with those options.

Welcome to the forum.

permisions are okay.

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

If you're not blocking the port yourself, check with your ISP. RetroPie doesn't come with any firewall rules configured (unless you did so).

@thelostsoul I used the scrip for your genesis custom collection....

@mitu Thanks for your reply! I will take a look at this and perhaps give it a go. Many thanks

@flagrant99 I doubt it has anything to do with the 4.3 upgrade, I've seen the same behavior before and there are a few posts in the forum asking the same thing.
The symlink support in Samba - the application that's responsible for the file sharing - has changed a long time ago due to the https://www.samba.org/samba/news/symlink_attack.html .
If you want to enable it again, then you'll need to modify the configuration file just like it's described here - https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5120/how-do-you-make-samba-follow-symlink-outside-the-shared-path .

@cyperghost said in Share your collections:

Oh well not really neccessary.

Are you sure? I could have sworn this was a roadblock for me when creating these manually in the past. Still, it's been a while, you may be right.

So I found out that the problem was with automount. I umount my drive and mount it again but this time in /mnt folder. I shared that folder an transfer 25gb data on external storange. Then i reboot Raspberry pie and now nothing is working. Retropie boot in Shell and i can access it through SSH. After a reboot it displays shell and says: "A start job is running for dev-sdc1.device (time)". dev/sdc1 was my External HD. I needed to delete automount command from /etc/fstab in order to boot it.

@Sailing_Nut

Arcade ROMS are confusing at first and there are a LOT of questions. The Admins have put together a lot of documentation to help people out and unfortunately, there are a lot of people that just expect the admins to do everything for them, Unfortunately, the Admins don't get paid and the expectation to have everything handed to people is getting really common these days.

Just as an FYI, The extra instructions are located under the individual emulators. For instance, MAME and FBA have the managing roms link. Other emulators have instructions for specific configs and such.

You can also always Google "Retropie MAME" or "Retropie N64" to get to the direct links as well.

I can't use update ,the image I am using is not a retropie image but a attraction mode image,so If I update it will remove all the attraction mode stuff.
