Tribe Fan Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Does anyone know if the shield tv and retro arch can load network stored games over Ethernet? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reznnate Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Shield TV has GRID streaming (on-demand PC gaming) and PC-streaming from your PC desktop. Some Android emulators have discussed save games on dropbox but I haven't seen rom support. Retroarch doesn't support either AFAIK. Is this what you mean?

Tribe Fan Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 No, I mean playing ROMs stored on a local network drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reznnate Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 My Hyperspin setup uses an SDCard on Shield portable and a USB-hard drive (with all the CDROM based systems) on Shield TV. I don't think any of the emulators can find roms stored on a network share. Retro16 (snes) can store saves on Google Drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyRizzo Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 All of my Roms are on network drives. They all launch no problem through hyperspin. I havent tested cd based systems much. Might be some lag there. You just map the network drive on your pc to a normal drive letter. Just realised the question was specific to sheild tv./... oops.

reznnate Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yeah, this is an OS feature and I don't think Android supports drive-mapping in this way (yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricardo85x Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 You can mount a NFS Share with busybox. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2653231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribe Fan Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 You can mount a NFS Share with busybox. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2653231 Has anyone successfully mounted a shared Windows folder on their Shield TV? This is really the deciding factor as to whether I pull the trigger and buy one or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reznnate Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 This is a basic feature of linux (which Android is based upon) but it's not a standard Android feature so you'll need to root and follow instructions on sites like XDA. I suggest getting a USB hard drive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loueradun Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Okay, so I want to provide some details for anyone looking to do this and keep a persistent link from their shield for the networked drive. This should work on other Android devices too. First of all, root will be required. I'm not going to detail the steps of gaining root access, please refer to XDA for that. Here are the proper steps to set this up: 1. root your device 2. install busybox 3. create the folder that matches <folder on SDCARD> in the script below, where SDCARD is the internal memory 4. run the script on network start (I use SManager for this, and check the "Net", and "Su" options 5. go into SuperSU and make sure the "Enable su during boot" option is turned on And the script: setenforce Permissive su --mount-master -c busybox mount -o username=<username>,password=<password>,rw,noperm -t cifs //<ipaddress>/<share> /data/media/0/<folder on SDCARD> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
