Homebrew SNESX9GX network share

[bradzx]

???? There is config file for share folder? Please give me more detail. Give me anything you know this stuff than anyone else.

Why snesx9gx won't work for network share? Here is what I fill it out.

SMB share IP: 192.168.1.254
SMB Share name: F:/SNESX9/Roms
SMB share username:aarons (my loaner laptop)
SMB share password: pinballdog

I spoke too soon.

How do you determine the ip of the laptop?
What's the ip of the wii?
Do you have a third party firewall on the laptop, or are you using the standard windows one?
A video won't help much. I could make one showing it working on my configuration. You will do exactly the same and it won't work.
We will be back to square one. No 2 pc's are identical.

I check on ipconfig in command box. You should know that. I don't know but I will look up. Well there is nothing mention firewall about share network. If it does, then where is setting firewall for share network? Maybe there is other that I don't know and never try to check it out. I just do basic way. Well I am using laptop.

The question has been answered so many times... I facepalm why it's still a question. Let me put it this way:

ERROR: F:/SNESX9/Roms

SOLUTION: \\Server\SharedFolder

Let you know wii keyboard don't have \. Only /. Sorry, but you are not helping me. Still error message.

Video please. It better than nothing when someone tell me and I do try and i still get wrong. I rather video because it easy to follow.

 

[Zetta_x]

Are you sure it doesn't have \ direction?

 

[bradzx]

Well I put in desktop. Do I have to type all the way C: //blah blah//blah blah//blah blah/SNES? (folder share I put in desktop)

 

[bradzx]

Yes or no?

no you don't need the full path, only the name of the share (you choose it when you exported it)
find your computer in the windows network
open it
the folders you see on this first level are that computers shares

an take a look at http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Tinysmb

In network settings, it says IP SMB share. I can confirm that entering the Ip of the host pc there just works fine. (no need to mess with / or \ )
The program has a Snes9xgx folder on the wii sd card or usb drive. Copy that folder and it's contents to your pc. One of it's subfolders is the roms folder.
Share the snes9xgx folder on your pc. Since you haven't told yet what os you are using, I can't give detailed information or a video tutorial how to do that.
The Smb share name will likely be snes9xgx, unless you changed the default choice of your os for the share name.
In the program on the wii, option loading and storing, set the loading and storing device to network.

So, instead of F:/SNESX9/Roms
Asuming your smb share is snesx9 and roms is a subfolder of it, the smb share name is simply snesx9

[PsyBlade]

read the first 4 line of my post and obcd's post

 

[bradzx]

How many do I have to tell you? it is not work. Do you have other better plan to connect my laptop for window 7? I didn't do anything with firewall because I don't want mess up on my laptop system.

 

[Tantric]

Give up. I don't think you have it in you to get this working.

 

[PsyBlade]

second

 

[bradzx]

Yup because there is no file that Psyblade gave me link. I look up and only I see Window XP and Vista only.

Follow the Vista guide. Answer the questions people asked here so far. Google windows 7 + folder sharing.

 

[bradzx]

Sorry. None of them do work. I do follow them but nothing. Like I said, I need video. I already keep try on google but no luck. So I suggest you do video than give a stupid explain. No offense. I am sorry. I need video please. I will refuse anything expect video. I am sorry. I have no choice to try it. If you don't make a video, then I will close this post for waste my time for my request for video. Like I said, I always do basic way. Not advance stuff because I hate advance stuff.

If you need more, just google:

windows 7 file sharing +youtube

If you need other video's with specific actors, just let us know.

 

[bradzx]

Sorry but it not take me anywhere. I notice 4 or 5 topic same problem as I have but none of them is work. Please...do make video yourself for snes and window 7 for network share. That video you gave me is shared folder to other pc. I already try it on my wii. it not fit in. Maybe you pick wrong video. That is about share folder to other pc. Not to snes emulator network share. I think you need more pay attention.

 

[obcd]

The pc part for sharing a folder to another pc and sharing to snes emulator is exactly the same.

You make a video of how you try to do it and I will tell you what you are doing wrong.
