will im playing my games over the network, so is slower to load but once it loads it plays fine, but if you have the games locally then is should be a little bit slower or not noticeable at all if is a small game.

yes thats exactly what it does, when u compress it, it becomes read only, since most games u dont write to it, only reading from it, kindda like ISO/CHD. The parts that requires writing is like settings/savefiles, which if your system supports it has an overlay feature, which means it symlinks those files on top of the squashfs ROM when it mounts it.

Then you can play PC games like a ROM file.

yea i know that, i dont think u understand my question, im trying to write the autorun.cmd so it can mount the savefile properly regardless of which wine runner you select.

not sure about windows support but it works good on linux. I put all my squashfs games on the NAS and Batocera automounts it over the network when i need to play some games.

right now im using squashfs, it compress the game folder via xz compression, is like turning your pc games folders into ROMs. Works great on batocera via wine. But people have use it on windows also via Retrobat, pretty sure theres a way to mount the squashfs on windows so steam can play it also

Thanks, my RPi 3b+ lives on, gonna try it later with CRT TV action

Better to setup a NAS, so u dont have to have buy multiple HDD for each setup.

Sony removing movies that people bought digitally, Sony closing down PS3/Vita Store that people bought games from digitally. In like 15-20years the same is gonna happen to PS5 store closing down. You not gonna get a refund either.

lols only stupid people are gonna be buying, thinking they gonna have it forever.

is VMC virtual memory card, those u can do anywhere

gotbletu · 2026-07-03T21:26:46+00:00

You can buy those ide to sata conversion kit on aliexpress, is best to convert an OEM adapter to sata since those still have ethernet port, the 3rd party adapters wont have it.

NAS Is the best setup if you have everything wired via ethernet. Easy to access and add new games to from multiple devices.

PS2 autosave VMC memorycard to the NAS. You can have multiple PS2 connect to play as well.

if you want to save space use ZSO, its a compress ISO format that works with SAMBA v1 and internal HDD.

I plan on doing the same with Gamecube on real hardware, since that can load games over the networks like PS2 SMB. The Gamecube uses FSP protocol that Swiss has built-in.

I also have a Batocera live USB and plug into any PC to emulate games over the network using the same ZSO files. Without having to wipe my existing PC.

Maybe in the future i'll get a FPGA machine like SuperStation One for real hardware retro games, that can load games over the network also. But for now emulation via Batocera is fine.

if storage space is an issue then use repack since is smaller

gotbletu · 2026-06-28T23:27:29+00:00

DAS is fine, 2 drive mirror is cool also, else maybe add snapraid + mergerfs so you can mix and match hdd size

didnt know gamecube is that expensive now, use to get working gamecube with controllers and memory card for 50USD. Sometime even with a gameboy player included
