I want to be able to load .bin files stored on a share of my WD MyBook thru SAMBA on WiiSX
The version of WiiSX I am using is straight off of the Homebrew Browser; WiiSX Beta 2.1.
I have been able to successfully play some .bin files using SD with BIOS settings HLE as well as scph1001.bin.
I have also successfully used smb for WiiMC, NES:FCE Ultra GX, SNES9xGX, and VBAGX for playing roms.
I edited the settings.cfg as follows:
smbusername = ""
smbpassword = "**SHAREPW**"
smbsharename = "PS"
smbipaddr = "192.168.1.108"
When I click load samba it opens successfully but shows none of the .bin files. Occasionally one of the files will show up but will not successfully load and the next time I try to open it, it will memory dump.
Originally I had the share folder containing only the .bin files. Then I tried setting up the share similar to the SD:
"Device:/apps/wiiSX/" Put boot.dol, icon.png and meta.xml here
"Device:/wiisx/bios/" Put your bios here
"Device:/wiisx/isos/" Put your ISO/BIN/CUE here
"Device:/wiisx/saves/" your memory cards will be stored here (each game its own memory card).
I have tried to comb through the threads with varied success as I have yet to read about an identical issue with SMB. Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: I was trouble shooting to make sure I could also read off of USB and when I realized it was only my SD card that had functionality. I came across a recompiled version of 2.1 with better usb support and consequently also has improved SMB functionality and everything works great. The version of WiiSX directly off the Homebrew Browser for some reason would not support the SMB setup likely due to the previously known 'anonymous user' bug. Although I thought 2.1 was supposed to have it solved I guess the HBB version was not recompiled so.
P.S. Thank you Cyan for the swift reply
