Get roms on a NAS

Hi, I have updated my pc x64 to last version of Batocera 5.23 (by the way, I love it), also I have changed my USB with roms that I had in a NAS Qnap to a NAS...

Hi decibilio,

you won’t believe it, but it is working now! I took the other micro SD card, I took balenaEtcher and I used Notepad++ for the first time. I actually used Wordpad before and I think, that was the issue, because it seemed to do something to the text format… I think, that was it! You are my hero. 😁✌ Thank you so much, that you helped me through this and gave the decisive answer to me. I couldn’t imagine, that this made the difference in recalbox and batocera… but they are different forks and seem to have their differences. (Invisible format things…) 😁

Woohoo! Everything is there now! I learned a little bit about the NFS thing.

Thank you very much. Maybe this could help somebbody in the future.

People! Take the Notepad++! 😜

Hi Robert,
I’m glad to hear this, that you enjoy it.
Batocera is better than recalbox (although it is also very good) it has more options and emulators.
If you need help with something, feel free to give me a touch 😊
Greetings

For anyone that wan to help if he knows. I also have a synology nas and tried to sahre the roms on a folder with nfs. I can see the folders in KODI but not in batocera. I cant understand why. Tried all the above with no success

I had the same issue with Synology, and what I ended up doing is this:

mount -t cifs -o username=whatevername,password=yourpassword //XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/filename/batocera/ /userdata/ if you want all your stuff on the NAS, or you could just do this:

mount -t cifs -o username=whatevername,password=yourpassword //XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/filename/batocera/roms /userdata/roms
mount -t cifs -o username=whatevername,password=yourpassword //XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/filename/batocera/bios /userdata/bios

I have also tried the following lines added to batocera-boot.conf which caused the system to not boot.
sharenetwork_smb1=ROMS@192.168.0.1:Documents/batocera/roms:username=john,password=wayne

I have added the following lines to fstab:

//192.168.1.10/Storage/roms /userdata/roms cifs username=Username,password=Password,nounix,noserverino,defaults,users,auto 0 0

//192.168.1.10/Storage/bios /userdata/bios cifs username=Username,password=Password,nounix,noserverino,defaults,users,auto 0 0

Then ran batocera-save-overlay
ran mount -a and it worked with no errors, but still doesn’t work on reboot.
