I can, of course, "cd" into it, and launch "+start ScummVM.sh" from there within emulationstation. If the ~/RetroPie/roms/scummvm is a link pointing to my share, the ScummVM GUI won't recognize it as a directory and instead shows it as a file (light grey) so I can't navigate into it. Emulationstation can see the files fine, and even launch the GUI from the share, and the (ScummVM) GUI can see the files for games but fails to add them unless those files are local. Every system other than ScummVM is running games from my network share just fine. Sure, but unless I'm really stupid, I have the basics down here. However, my SD card is 16gb, and I have 78gb of scummvm games, so this isn't a sustainable method.Īny ideas as to how I can get ScummVM in RetroPie to use games on my network share? If I just have ~/RetroPie/roms/scummvm as a local directory, and copy a game folder there, I can add the game and play normally. I have confirmed I have r/w access to the share: I can drop to a command line, read, create, edit, and delete files in that share without issue. I tried mounting the scummvm-extracted folder (where my games are) directly in ~/RetroPie/roms/scummvm, but got the same result. So, instead, I navigated to /mnt/ROMs/scummvm-extracted directly, and could indeed see all the folders for the games, and inside those folders all the files.Īttempts to add those games either one at a time in the specific folders, or via Mass Add, results in "ScummVM couldn't open the specified directory" (despite being able to see it's contents in the ScummVM file browser!) I suspect this is due to ScummVM itself having issues with links. However, upon linking ~/RetroPie/roms/scummvm to /mnt/ROMs/scummvm-extracted, installing ScummVM and launching +ScummVM GUI, I cannot navigate into /RetroPie/roms/scummvm - the folder is greyed out. This has worked thus far for every system.

My process to date has been removing the directories in ~/RetroPie/roms/ and replacing them with links to the appropriate folders in /mnt/ROMs/ (the samba share). I've successfully added Arcade (via FBA), nes, snes, megadrive, etc with no problems - the share is mounted with user pi on the retropie having read and write permissions. All my roms - including my ScummVM games - are on a Samba share.

Ok, I'm trying to add my ScummVM games to RetroPie.
