Running ROMs from a Network Share

[mitu]

Check if the mount command worked - exit EmulationStation and run the mount command manually, see if you get any errors.

I think so... doesn't show an error. I was also just looking around using winscp, my /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/Nintendo 64 folder is populated in the pi it self, just emulation station is not showing any ROMs or emulators

@koygi Post your ES log - from $HOME/.emulationstation/es_log.txt - to pastebin.com.

$HOME/.emulationstation/es_log.txt

https://pastebin.com/tiR7TeN7 I think I did that right.

[mitu]

I don't think it's the whole log (and the lines are truncated) and don't seen any mentions to 'n64' in it. Try to get the whole log file as is with WinSCP and also post your es_systems.cfg file from the same folder.

Sorry I had to use PuTTY ... I cann't see the .emulationstation on winSCP.

It's a 'hidden' folder, you may want to enable showing hidden files/folders in WinSCP. The same folder is available via file shares at \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation.

Can you spot the error ?

[koygi]

Looking the only difference I can see at the two is // vs. /. Which one should be correct?

[mitu]

Your path for the N64 roms folder is wrong:

EmulationStation doesn't support share (UNC) paths, you should leave those paths local (i.e. /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/Nintendo N64).

I sware I had it changed to what you said earlier. Changed both files and it's now showing my N64 ones. Hopefully I can get the rest to work... thank you.
