      Hi,

      in the wiki (EN) is an instruction how to load roms and saves from an network shared folder but I don't understand the instruction:
      https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Load-your-roms-from-a-network-shared-folder-(EN)

      I installed the beta 2018-11-13 with 3B+ Support on my Pi 3B+.

      I finished:

      • mount -o remount,rw /boot
      • edit the file /boot/recalbox-boot.conf ==> sharedevice=NETWORK

      But where I have to insert this:
      sharenetwork_smb1=ROMS@192.168.178.1:recalbox/share(right?)/roms:username=recalbox,password=Recalbox
      Also in the /boot/recalbox-boot.conf at the next line? Or simply in the command (SSH connection with JuiceSSH)?
      I tried both and I don't get connection.

      This is my configuration at the shared folder:
      Shared folder with this user starts at path:
      recalbox
      ----- than shared
      ---------------- than roms or saves

      2nd question:
      Could I still use with this configuration (if that would works) a usb stick that is syncronised with the sd card like in this instruction:
      https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Use-an-external-usb-storage-device-on-recalbox-(EN)

      Or have I decide for the shared network folder or usb stick sync?

      Thanks for help
      Sven

        Your /boot/recalbox-boot.conf should contain:

        sharedevice=NETWORK
        sharenetwork_smb1=ROMS@192.168.1.21:roms:username=*****,password=*****
        

        Where:

        • roms (right after the IP) is a root SMB shared folder. From W10, it can be accessed with \\192.168.1.21\roms

          Thank you for your reply, now I know where I have to insert sharenetwork_smb1=ROMS............

          Just for understanding:
          The wiki tells me that I have to copy the same directory structure like on the sd card (/recalbox/share/roms). I did it like this way.

          That's why I added a ftp user that starts in the shared folder where I see the recalbox folder.

          0_1542365468459_Anmerkung 2018-11-16 114759.jpg

          Is this correct?
          Or could I use 192.168.xxx.xxx:roms: like that path?
          0_1542365468459_Anmerkung 2018-11-16 114759.jpg
          So, this picture of folder "share" is ftp user root, if I use :roms: in

          sharenetwork_smb1=ROMS@192.168.xxx.xxx:roms:username=*****,password=*****?
          

          And any idea to my:

            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
