recalbox-samba-mount

Recalbox samba/network share roms mounting script.

Directly play ROMs via Network share.

if you have organized ROM directory same with /recalbox/share/roms, use simplified custom.sh.organized other wise if you have unorganized ROM directory use custom.sh.unorganized.

for organized ROM directory:

• samba shared ROM directory in your PC/External drive/NAS should look same with rom folders you want to add as in /recalbox/share/roms as screenshot below

• rename custom.sh.organized to custom.sh and then edit with your samba shared directory and IP address preferences.

• when your ROM directory is organized same with /recalbox/share/roms, your samba shared roms will be mounted to recalbox directory automatically.

• copy custom.sh in /recalbox/share/system (if you are using credentials/user/password for samba share copy .smbcredentials file too after editing credentials.)

• restart Recalbox and then run UI Settings > Update Game List

for Unorganized ROM directory:

• rename custom.sh.unorganized to custom.sh and then edit with your samba shared directory and IP address preferences.

• if your ROM directory is not organized as in /recalbox/share/roms, then you need to add each samba shared roms directory and mount points to the script manually.

• copy custom.sh in /recalbox/share/system (if you are using credentials/user/password for samba share copy .smbcredentials file too after editing credentials.)

• restart Recalbox and then run UI Settings > Update Game List

• with unorganized script, it will create NETWORK folder in each /recalbox/share/roms/* directories and mount samba shared roms into there.

Note: This script is inspired and modified by @Wizzard's (https://github.com/WizzardSK/gameflix) online rom mounting script (Gameflix). Thanks him for contributions.
