MAME on a NAS drive?
05/15/11 09:34 PM


I was wondering about getting a NAS drive and putting MAME ROMs on it, so that more than one computer can use them. Is this possible? Wise? I'm expecting load times may be worse and the laserdisc games could be problematic...

I was thinking of the cheaper end of NAS drives too (more Buffalo than Synology), which presumably won't help!

If I wanted to have the MAME ROMs in one central place but then let more than one PC play them, is it possible to have a centralised high score area/etc? Would it be best to play the whole emulator off NAS drive or have it set up individually on both PCs then point the ROMs and high score paths to the NAS drive?

Cheers for any advice. I realise the best would be to set up a home network, I'm just looking for cheaper options (as I can't really run cables all over the place in rented accomodation!).
