Hey, I just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you for putting this project together, I've recently setup a 'Retronas' and have had good success with it! I've also hit a lot of odd road blocks that could just be me OR potential room for updates to the documentation so dummies like me don't hit the same problem! I know we've spoken before and you're doing some great work with the colour calibration ISOs and all sorts. I'd like to know how to donate to you/the project and also the best way to provide my feedback on the problems I've encountered. I've encountered lots of little issues from setting up the Pi, installing some of the services, using the PS3 srv, and now I'm stuck with etherDFS. I must stress I'm not treating any of this as a negative, more as a small stumbling block in what is otherwise an incredible collection of features in one place. Thanks again, Dave.

Thanks for the kind words. If you need to report bugs, GitHub is the best place to do it. Sign up for a free account, and click the "Issues" link to report any bugs or problems. There's also a "Discussions" page if you want to just spitball ideas instead of talk about problems: github.com/danmons/retronas

I super dig your project, i have it running on my unRAID box using SpaceInvader One's installer. I'm curious if its possible to sym link directories, so I can have my PS2 games under the PS3netserv directory and also under the PS2 OPL directory without needing a copy the game library in two places?

Yes absolutely, you should be able to add any custom symlinks you want. I can take a look at adding those into the code as well, but until then you can definitely do your own symlinks.

Anybody else struggling with headless RPI setup via modern Raspian images? As I know now, if you want to setup your Raspberry (f.e. RPI PI OS Lite 64) via RPI Imager you might run into the problem that SSH is by default disabled. So if you don't want to attach a monitor, click on the settings wheel in the Imager's dialog and there activate SSH before writing the image to the SD card.

this is cool - have you considered using webmin instead of cockpit? it just seems more feature rich imo....though im not sure it is available for arm (never checked) and might hobble the rpi (not sure tbh)....maybe its too much for what you need? doing things like mounting drives is super easy on webmin though....anyways project looks kickass nice work :)

Question about RetroNAS: Is the raspberry pi needed if I already have a NAS at home (or at the office)? I personally have a small QNAP that I already use SMB for my MiSTer which is amazing. Edit: I used one of my old QNAP TS-269, got into EFI mode, tried to install Debian 11 but it just crashes and reboots.

Up to you. MiSTer specifically can work with any SMB2 or SMB3 NAS. RetroNAS has cool features like symlinks and ROM sharing with other systems, but if you don't need that, you can use other NAS devices. You can install Debian 11 + RetroNAS on your QNAP directly, or run the native software, or run RetroNAS as a VM, or whatever you want.

I know you've contemplated some BBS support, and I think this is a great idea. And I don't know if there would be a lot of interest in this particular, but back in the early to mid 90s I used a DOS telecommunication software called QModem Pro. I was able to use it to dial up into my ISP and access my linux shell account, etc. I would love to be able to somehow fire up QModem Pro (or something like it) on a old DOS system to connect to something like RetroNAS. Whether this would be possible through some sort of serial modem to usb thing, I don't know. Would this sort of thing be possible? And if so, could something like QModem Pro even be used to use the RetroNAS configuration tool?

A few questions, I currently use a Pi4 and just samba share the device and have pihole alongside it, could I run pihole alongside this? Second, I was going to downgrade to just a pi Zero or Zero 2 with a usb ethernet/usb hub would the base Zero work ok or is at least a 3 advisable (or the Zero 2) Finally I already have a NTFS formatted drive full of things so would I be required to still format it or will I just mount it in the software?

@@stickfreaks466 Its just Raspberry Pi OS lite which I access via SSH and run terminal commands on, and just connect a normal usb device, in this case a hard drive with NTFS formatting so not password/username locked. So the only other question is a Zero or Zero 2 powerful enough to run ok? I also just thought what happens with drive spin down? I noticed with regular samba shares the drive was always hot to touch and I assume always on but that may just be a enclosure thing.

Thanks this is really cool idea I was thinking the same but no idea how to make it happen . I just managed to set it up now fingers crossed it works ok . It could be a bit tuff for some to set up Im sure you got things ready to make it easier. Awesome idea . Ethernet fastest way to loads stuff . A emmc module Flashed with retro Nas would that work ? Is it a Faster way to boot up ? One thing I don't understand how to do is get it to look for the games on the attached usb HDD rather that the ois SD card any tips ?

Tried this tonight but running into an issue. When I enter the github URL to download the installer, it scrolls several lines of text but looks different from yours and doesn't seem to actually download the installer. Instead, at the end it says something along the lines of "You are now ready to run the command" and it then mentions the command that begins with OPT. However, this doesn't work, and if I try to continue sticking strictly to the steps on the wiki, nothing works beyond this point. I get an error saying the command doesn't exist or no such file.

If I setup retronas on a pi4 4gb, can I put the sd card in a pi4 8gb without needing to reinstall the OS?
@stickfreaks466

Correct, no need to reinstall the OS. The Linux system will simply use whatever RAM is available if you move the SD card to another RPi.
