Weird issue when having roms on networked drive

(1/1)

mn_big_dog:
I decided to move my roms to my media server and then just have my mame cabinet grab them over the network.  Sounds easy enough....but......

I mapped the rom folder so I can access it on my cabinet.  If I fire up MAME32 by itself and give it the network location for the roms.....works great.
But when I use Maximus, and set the network location for the roms......nothing.

Anyone ever set it up this way?
Everything on my media server gets backed up nightly, and I would like to keep my roms there so I'm not out searching for them all again if my machine would crash.

HaRuMaN:
Why not keep a copy in both places? (Mame cab and network)

It's not like you're going to be making changes to the roms that often.

spoot:
You specifying the network location via the \\host method or a mapped drive?  I'd map the share to a drive letter and use that.

mn_big_dog:
I've tried it both wasy....specifying the network location, and also mapping the drive and doing it that way...nothing :(
