EmulationStation / RetroPie Network Paths

[jellybeard999]

I'm trying to set up EmulationStation on Windows, but I'm struggling to get network folder paths to work. I'm sure this is a formatting issue, but would be grateful if anyone can advise.

I'd have posted this on the official forums, but I suspect there are many users here!

I'm editing the es_systems.cfg file, which I hope is correct!

<system>
<name>snes</name>
<fullname>Super Nintendo Entertainment System</fullname>
<path>\\serverpath\roms\snes</path>
<extension>.sfc .smc .zip .SFC .SMC .ZIP</extension>
<command>%HOME%\.emulationstation\systems\retroarch\retroarch.exe -L %HOME%\.emulationstation\systems\retroarch\cores\snes9x_libretro.dll "%ROM_RAW%"</command>
<platform>snes</platform>
<theme>snes</theme>
</system>

I've only edited the <path> line, from the default below. The default path works fine.

<path>~\.emulationstation\roms\snes</path>

Dont think you are allowed to talk about emulation if memory serves as its against the forum rules.

Try using a mapping.
