Retroarch read network storage?

[bongman420]

I'm trying to get retroarch to read roms on a NAS. I've tried many combinations editing "rgui_browser_directory" but it always shows no files found when i try importing roms.

Is there any way for retroarch to connect to smb/nfs/ftp??

On what OS? Well on any OS I think the best way is to map / mont the samba share on the host machine and then point to those mount point on RetroArch.

I never tried that but I think it should work since the smb access is controlled on the OS level.

On the switch. I've read horizonOS supports nfs so I tried that but had no luck. Apps like tinfoil can read my nas directory through ftp, but changing the rgui setting to my ftp in retroarch does nothing.

Sorry cant help you there :/ I don't have a modded switch.

But my guess is retrocarch cant handle network shares by itself. You might need to search on how to mount them outside the app and then launch it.

Good luck.
