Y have 1Tb external HDD with 3 partitions to test in parallel Batocera, Recalbox and Retropie, this 3 partitions are equally divided in NTFS format each one and identical romset in each one. First partition is labeled BSHARE (dedicated to Batocera), second partition is labeled RSHARE (dedicated to Recalbox) and third partition is labeled PSHARE (dedicated to Retropie). And three microSD cards with this 3 different systems. In the menu of each system is possible to select the corresponding partition to use by each system (but Retropie is a little more complex). So, your idea it's perfectly possible.

@gfisher Actually I was looking for it myself a few hour ago 🙂

Same NAS, same file recalbox-boot.conf on Stable Recalbox and Beta Recalbox, and beta doesnt detect Shared folder. On Stable recalbox works fine. Some must could be changed on beta version.

EDIT: I solved it adding ,vers=1.0

Try sharenetwork_smb1=ROMS@192.168.178.1:recalbox/roms:username=recalbox,password=Recalbox,vers=1.0

@joachim-chaupitre Salut,

Pas de support pour les images non officielles, modifiées, et remplies de roms illégales.

Installe Recalbox à partir de notre site internet, tu n'auras pas ce problème.

@oyyodams said in [4.1-stable] Loading roms from a network shared folder does not work with 4.1 commands.:

@chiukian you must write something like sharenetwork_smb1=ROMS@192.168.0.1:recalbox/roms:username=recalbox,password=recalbox
replace:

192.168.0.1 with the IP of your server
recalbox/rom with yhe path on your server
the username and the password

I figured this out finally.

sharenetwork_smb1=ROMS <- This is the ROMS folder on the pi in the recalbox /share folder

@192.168.0.1:recalbox/roms <- This is the shared folder on your server.

But in order for this to work, you need to have the same folder structure as the /share folder on your pi.

So basically create a share folder called roms. Then inside that folder use the same folder names for each system on the pi and place the roms in there, then it will work.

Thanks
