Play games directly over Network share?

[Advokaten]

Hello everybody!

I've been able to locate ONE video where a guy is showing he's playing retropie games over his network share. Is there anybody out there who'd like to share how this is done?

I've gone and made an attempt at it and this is what I've done so far:
I replicated the roms folders retropie uses to my network share, so all the roms folders are named correctly.

From PuTTY, I went in to
sudo nano /etc/fstab

and added
//192.168.0.10/roms /home/pi/roms cifs guest,uid=1000 0 0
at the bottom.

I read somewhere about mounting, but I have no idea how that's done other than
sudo mount -a
or something.
However, nothing happens when I perform this command.

That's it. Any ideas? Thanks guys and thank you for the amazing work on RetroPie! :)

EDIT: I also did follow a guide on here which did not work for me, sadly. I must be doing something wrong :(
