Skyscraper .ini editing for network share.
-
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.And that works great but my question is do I need to add that to the skyscraper config file as well? so for example
No, if you mount it on
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms
and you have set the permissions to read/write for thepi
user and all files on the share, you are good to go. -

No, you don't need to.
