Homebrew Snes9x GX and SMB support

[Takaishi]

no, because you add your computer IP on "SMBIP"

try disabling your firewall to see if it is blocking the connection.

Ah, that makes sense. I got it to work by disabling Password Protected Sharing in Vista's Network and Sharing Center. Do you have this enabled or disabled? I've checked again to make sure my username/pass is correct so I'm not sure why I would need to disable this. I can now load the ROMS, though I still cannot save to the computer. I don't mind saving to the flash card, but I'm still confused as to why this isn't working the way it should. Under the share properties I have Everyone with write permission.

Im on XP so I dont have the networks and sharing center, but i need to disable kaspersky firewall to get it working. Also, you can have enabled the password protected sharing, but you must add it on the config file




The same that you use to login on your windows account. If you don't have a password you need it to enable the P.P.Sharing. It wont work if you leave blank the "smbpwd" vale.

Check the save method on the wii, sometimes it reset to "save on SD".

I managed to get it to save to the computer by creating a new share and starting over. I must have messed something up before while trying to get it to work.

I still have the password protected sharing disabled. I've had the correct




in there from the beginning, but for some reason it doesn't want to work.

Thanks for all the help, Takaishi. I do appreciate it.

If SMB is working then surely we could have it on a media player?

im desperately waiting for a SMB enabled media player so I can put the xbox into storage.

Does anyone know if SMB sharing is coming to any media players soon?

Not sure if it works with media players and can't check because my wii is away getting a new drive, but WiiHL-010 uses SMB if I remember right to load apps, if any of the media players store the files (vids, music etc) inside their own root, then that might work, not sure though, worth a try.



Thanks again to Takaishi and the others for the info, SMB is awsome as a storage solution, as anyone on my home network loads the correct save files etc without needing to do anything once set up.

so im having some smb issues with 4.12 of snes9x. i'm using the gui in the emu.

this is my network:
server ip is 192.168.1.10
user is user
pass is pass
roms are hosted (unzipped) in /home/user/complete/romsets/snes
ive got the 'romsets' directory shared directly under the credentials user/pass.

this is an ubuntu server and not windows.

my server ip ive entered, as well as user/pass. the sharename ive put as romsets

under save/load i have the load as snes and the save as snes/save and cheats as snes/cheats

save and load are set as network, but everytime it errors on connect saying it cant connect to smb

so with the roms being in: /home/user/complete/romsets/snes
and the share (romsets) /home/user/complete/romsets
what settings do i enter into the emu?

ive tried everything i can think of and it all errors out THEN it resets the load folder to nothing and the load device back to auto or usb.

Can anyone confirm SMB working using Windows Vista??

works great on Windows 7 64bit. Wont matter if you have vista, smb is mb. Do not map straight to the folder. Needs a share name (sub folder accessible from ip)

ip: ip must match the ip of your share
press start - run - type in "cmd" then enter - type "ipconfig /all" then enter to see ips on your mqchine
note: if you have multiple network cards, i.e. wired and wireless, both will have different ips where wired is probably what you want

share name: on another pc type open file explorer and enter \\Yourip i.e. \\192.168.0.190
you should see a list of subfolders. pick the one (best to have no spaces, abnormal characters or long folder names past 255 chars)
i.e. lets say you see a subfolder Games then your share should be Games

username and pass: if you dont know these or have them set use your normal user ones sjould be fine

cheers. sorry for typing no autocorrect on playbook

It needs to be a subfolder from the root of your share which is user configurable. to find out whqt to use just access your share (i think nautilus will do it) but you may need to mount it on Ubuntu (havent used Ubuntu in a few years)

but browse to you smbshare by IP (another pc is best) and use the appropriate subfolder in the list of folders that appears as your server name. make sure it works on wii. then try adding more layers to your share name. i.e. "games" works ok so now add "games\emulators" etc.

I setup an SMB share and it seemed to be working fine but after playing a game for a while I went back to choose game and it said it couldn't connect to the network share
