      Hello everyone,

      I'm experiencing a very bizarre issue. I recently moved my RetroPie folder over to a network share to gain more storage and things seem to have worked perfectly for the vast majority of my emulators (I used the fstab method). However, randomly, Magnavox Odyssey 2 and TurboGrafx-CD simply will not work. I have the BIOS for both systems in the proper folder and when I unmount the network share and play the exact same roms off my SD card RetroPie folder everything works fine. But for the life of me I can't get them to work on the network mount. Every other emulator works, including several disc based cue/bin setups like PSX. What's even more bizarre is that cartridge based PC Engine games work just fine. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this hiccup? Thanks in advance for your time.

      Pi Model: 3B
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.01
      USB Devices connected: keyboard and controller
      Controller used: xbox 360 wired
      Emulator: lr-o2em and lr-beetle-pce-fast

        Just a quick bump. I know this is a weird request but it's driving me crazy!

            My apologies. I hope this is the proper format.

            When running Odyssey bins:

            /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 851:  1023 Segmentation fault
            /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L
            /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-o2em/o2em_libretro.so --config
            /opt/retropie/configs/videopac/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/videopac/Alien Invaders Plus.bin" --appendconfig
            /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg
            

            When running TG-CD games I am not getting anything in the log.

            Happy to provide any additional info if needed, sorry again as I get familiar with best practices.

                Odyssey verbose log after RetroPie-Setup update:

                //pastebin.com/embed_iframe/SxEFWdz9

                I notice that it says it can't find my BIOS but the o2rom.bin file is definitely in the BIOS folder and works fine when I'm not using the network mount. I'll try replacing it with another o2rom.bin in case the file got corrupted somehow.

                TG-CD verbose log after RetroPie-Setup update:

                //pastebin.com/embed_iframe/cAYQJ1Uz

                Would any other data help you out? I appreciate you taking the time to look at this.

                  @fuegox3 filenane case sensitivity issue with bios relating to network share? You could just mount the ROMs folder on network and keep bios on sdcard if that helps.

                    Network mount of just the roms folder worked perfectly for Odyssey. Very nice call.

                    I was hoping it would somehow also fix the TGCD issue too but no dice unfortunately. Any thoughts there?
