Hello, long time windows user just moved over to linux. I downloaded zsnes from the ubuntu repo and have mounted a win7 share full of rom via smb in th fstab. I can see and access these files from a terminal and other less featured emulators (bsnes, snes9x which have there even more configuration complications).
My issues is that zsnes wont access these mounted shares? Wont see the from a file load rom nore a passed as an option in cli execution. Any advice? Would compiling from source help clear up this issue?

Re: Ubuntu Zsnes executing from Mounted share
ZSNES doesn't currently support samba shares (or anything that can't be accessed with local filesystem calls).
Recompiling current source will not help this.

Re: Ubuntu Zsnes executing from Mounted share
In Windows a directory symbolic link (MKLINK /D ".\local link" "//remote/target") would work for ZSNESw, but I have no idea if something similar is possible in a Linux environment.
Re: Ubuntu Zsnes executing from Mounted share
Mounted filesystems shouldn't appear any differently to zsnes as any other file/directory. I'd say make sure you're not trying to use a GVFS or KIO mount but you said you're using fstab so that's not the case. Pretty odd. Also yes linux has symlinks (ln -s TARGET LINK_NAME) but I don't know that that'd help in this situation.
Maybe these people were born without that part of their brain that lets you try different things to see if they work better. --Retsupurae
