Mate, you're a legend, thank you!! It's after midnight for me local time, so I'll check it out tomorrow night.

I hope it works for you, I did it with the dualshock wirelled, but I think it will work also if you connect it by BT.

Hi DarzLir - any chance you can copy the config file and share it please? Might be easier for some people.

Yes!

I attached a zip file with a fresh retroarch.cfg, just unzip, copy to /storage/.config/retroarch and overwrite.

I had problems with the ps4 pad too but the solution is easy, with a keyboard and pad disabled, you go to input 1, go to bind all and connect the DS4, and do the assistant with the corresponding keys, I think there is a failure with the L2 and you will have to do it manually, but once done the configuration is saved and it is totally usable

Well it is very weird, since as we can see in the logs they do exists.

how about

Code

df -h | paste
mount | paste

XT7

XT8

I'm trying with scottelec too but the result is the same, using "scottelecroms" file instead "sx05reroms"

the link

XSH

And I think is a problem with ES.

In retroarch I scaned GBA folder and...

This is the es_log

lvl1:     Error - folder with path "/storage/roms/n64" is not a directory!
lvl1:     System "n64" has no games! Ignoring it.

This is the reason why setting the mount as services is a better solution.

Anyways, try putting just the mount line at the very bottom, before "#hacky way to get samba on boot"

I tried using this

nano /storage/.config/system.d/storage-nroms.mount

[Unit]
Description=cifs mount script
Requires=network-online.service
After=network-online.service
Before=kodi.service
[Mount]
What=//192.168.1.10/Ngo/roms
Where=/storage/roms
Options=username=Normandy Server,password=***,rw,vers=2.1
Type=cifs
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Same result, mounted at first time, I can see the roms through file manager in kodi/filezilla in windows in /storage/roms path, but ES can't

literally this is the top of the autostart.sh

Quote from niabi

On your screen it says nroms, are your roms in /storage/roms or /storage/nroms/roms ?

I edited to do in the correct path

Quote from Danfozzy85

it wont find them on the initial boot, (sleep 5). once in Kodi reload emulation station after 10 secs or so.

have you put the blank sx05reroms file in the root of your rom directory?

Hmmm I wait more than 10 secs but with the same result :\

Quote from Danfozzy85

i have managed to mount my roms on my nas drive following these instructions on the lakka forum (asked the same question on there couple of years back and it still work on this build)

Remote storage of roms - Lakka - Libretro Forums

Buffffff I got it Finally!!!!

The truth is that I have renamed several folders to be clearer, so the unit where I have all the roms is called "Ngo" and the "roms" folder is that of the roms. So trying, trying and trying again, I used this in autostart.sh file that works:

#!/bin/sh
 (sleep 5;
  mount -t cifs -o username="Normandy Server",password=***,rw //192.168.1.10/Ngo/roms /storage/roms/;
 )&

The IP instead the name of the server, 192.168.1.10 - Ngo (Name of the Hard Disk) - roms (the roms). And in Libreelec I used the default roms folder. Now, File Manager in Kodi and in system info, appear a new mount:

And now when restarting the box, I have in /storage/roms/ everything that I have in my drive appears in D:\roms or \\NORMANDYSERVER\Ngo\roms

what is the problem now? Seems that ES doesn't recognize that in /storage/roms/ , there are roms

Danfozzy85 Do I need to do anything more? editing es_systems.cfg?

Quote from niabi

DarzLir I don't think that is the problem, you need to mount it on LE to be able to do it, if you are able to mount it on Kodi it means there is a way to do it by command line. The ROM search script does not care where the roms are stored as long as the path is /storage/roms

Just thinking out loud you could probably try this:

Mount your share on Kodi
login by SSH and search to where your share is mounted (/mnt or /var/media are a good start or by using "find" and searching for a file you know is there)

change the path of the symbolic link in autostart.sh using nano from:

ln -sf $PATHTOROMS /storage/roms

to

ln -sf /path/of/your/mount /storage/roms

save and restart your box

I tried again, but there is no way.

I changed the directories if it was not in a correct way, the share is called roms and then a directory called roms, in Kodi, no problem

I put that new path NORMANDYROMS/roms/roms/... in autostart, in es_systems file... but not lucky

In /mnt or /var/media there is nothing to see, so...

I will try tomorrow,

I think I leave it, there's no way to find the server roms ...

Searching in google, I found the repository of "bite your idols" the addon Gamestarter, but I think it is only valid for rPi and when I started ES with the s905 it does not work. niabi if you want check it... GitHub - bite-your-idols/Gamestarter: Retrogaming kodi add-on repository for LibreELEC

The good thing that I saw is that it allowed to choose the route of the roms through the kodi file manager, but as I said, it is not functional for the amlogic and I couldn't test, but I saw the roms and I can see them through the file manager.

I tried the route that the "Gamestarted" uses in es_systems.cfg with SX05re, but doesn't work XD

Maybe with Pegasus frontend will be easier?

Quote from niabi

you can always use autostart.sh

how and where I can add to autostart.sh?, like I said I am so bad with the commands and linux

Quote from niabi

DarzLir can you show me your full .mount file?

the storage-normandyroms.mount that I created?

[Unit]
Description=cifs mount script
Requires=network-online.service
After=network-online.service
Before=kodi.service

[Mount]
What=\\NORMANDYSERVER/roms
Where=/storage/normandyroms
Options=username=Normandy Server,password=***,rw,vers=2.1
Type=cifs

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

and the other that I tried

[Unit]
Description=cifs mount script
Requires=network-online.service
After=network-online.service
Before=kodi.service

[Mount]
What=//NORMANDYSERVER/roms
Where=/storage/normandyroms
Options=username=Normandy Server,password=***,rw,vers=2.1
Type=cifs

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

If I put "//NORMANDYSERVER/roms in windows doesn't exist, with the \\ yes.

Quote from SSC_Jarod

This is what i meant, there are parts you have write rights to change things and on some you havent ... so you can only test the code i send you by ssh your box and copy it into the shell, but if you reboot your box, you must do it again,

Wow, it looks like it's going to be a good headache

Quote from SSC_Jarod

Hi,

to the mounting problem i found these. But i ve not tested yet. But i will, cause i have my roms also on a linux Network Server. This is a string for the FSTAB - so its stays connected after a reboot. Hope this helps IF cifs is installad on libreelec :o

Code

//192.168.X.X/roms /media/roms/ cifs defaults,noauto,nofail,username=youruser,passwd=yourpassword,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.requires=network-online.target 0 0

hmmm etc/fstab?

editing says that

Read 0 lines (Warning: No write permission) ]

So is impossible to edit via ssh at least

Yes, and same error :\
